#1
In the import execution results, an invalid Position setting may be specified for the unit type. If such an error is detected by the CHECK function, delete the Position information.
#2
Although the following definition items are specified for root jobnets, no error is detected:
• Position
• Previous
• Relation type
Similarly, if the following definition items are specified for nested jobnets, no error is detected:
• Concurrent exec.
• No. logs to keep
• Time-out period
• Schedule option
#3
For details about the checked items, see 2.7.1 R/3 job definition information section.
Required specification items refer to the items that need to be input when export is performed, and input restrictions refer to restrictions in the candidates and strings that can be input. These are checked based on the values specified in the environment settings parameters. Edit the following environment settings parameters to customize the required specification items and input restrictions:
• Required specification items CHECK-ITEM
• Input restrictions
Parameters for settings related to input restrictions (such as SELECT-EXECHOST)
For details about environment settings, see 3.1.4 Environment settings and 3.2 Environment settings parameters.
2.3.2 Displaying check results
When an error is detected as a result of check, a message dialog box notifies the user about the error details, and the cursor is moved to the corresponding area. When errors exist in multiple items, the user is notified of the error detected first. Once this error is corrected, a check is executed again, and the user is notified of the next error. If no errors exist, the following message is displayed:
No input errors occurred.
2.4 The JP1/AJS3 - View startup function
If JP1/AJS3 - View 09-00 or later version is installed on the host on which JP1/AJS3 - Definition Assistant is installed, JP1/AJS3 - View can be started from the definition information management template.
JP1/AJS3 - View can only be started from the execution results file created when the import function or the export function is used. The View button is not displayed in the master file (including replicated master files) of the definition information management template, and JP1/AJS3 - View cannot be started.
Automatic logon
When you start JP1/AJS3 - View from the definition information management template, the JP1/AJS3 - View login window is displayed, and you will need to enter your logon information (logon name, and password).
Logon is not necessary when the name of a logon information file (a file which contains information necessary for logon, as shown above) is specified for the VIEW-LOGINFILE environment settings parameter.
To specify a logon information file name in the VIEW-LOGINFILE environment settings parameter, you will need to create a logon information file in a folder on the machine on which JP1/AJS3 - View is installed. For details about and how to write this file, see 3.1.7(1) Starting JP1/AJS3 - View from the definition information management template Starting the definition information management template from JP1/AJS3 - View
You can start the definition information management template from JP1/AJS3 View by registering JP1/AJS3 -Definition Assistant as a startup tool in JP1/AJS3 - View.
For details about how to perform this registration, see 3.1.7(2) Opening the definition information management template from JP1/AJS3 - View.
Note:
JP1/AJS3 Definition Assistant for Windows can be connected only to JP1/AJS3 View for Windows. JP1/AJS3 -Definition Assistant for these OSs cannot be connected to JP1/AJS3 - View versions for other OSs.
2.5 Customization function
You can customize the definition items and operation buttons displayed in the definition information management template by editing the environment settings parameters in the environment settings file. For details about environment settings, see 3.1.4 Environment settings and 3.2 Environment settings parameters.
2.5.1 Toggling the display of operation buttons
You can toggle the display of the IMPORT, EXPORT, CHECK, and VIEW buttons by editing the BUTTON-HIDDEN environment settings parameter. For example, to restrict updates to definition information, set the EXPORT button to be hidden.
Note that when you set a button to be hidden, the corresponding function key is also disabled.
2.5.2 Toggling the display of definition items
You can toggle the display of definition items or item types by editing the COLUMN-HIDDEN environment settings parameter related to each definition item, or the TYPE-COMMON-DEF environment settings parameter related to each definition item type. You can display only the items used in the definition.
You can use these settings to customize the display only for definition items displayed when the template is opened.
Hidden definition items can still be imported and exported. You can use Excel functions to temporarily display hidden columns.
2.5.3 Restricting values for definition items
Definition items already have JP1/AJS input restrictions, but some of them can be changed to user-specified values that fall within the range of the JP1/AJS restricted values. For example, the limit for the value of a JP1/AJS Unit name is 30 bytes, but a user can change this to 14 bytes.
To change the restricted input values, edit the environment settings parameter related to the input (such as LIMIT-UNITNAME). The specified restriction will be checked when entered. These limits can be confirmed by the error check function against import results and the created definition information management templates.
2.5.4 Restricting input candidates
You can set user-specified input candidates for definition information for which no input candidates are already registered in the drop-down list. For example, if you want only the values groupA, groupB, and groupC to be entered for JP1 resource group, you can set these values as candidates in the corresponding drop-down list. This can help prevent definition mistakes.
To make a list of input candidates, enter them in the environment settings parameter related to the restricted input (such as SELECT-EXECHOST). The restrictions for the specified input candidates will be checked when entered. These limits can be confirmed by the error check function against import results and created definition information management templates.
2.6 Save function for unsupported definition information items
The save function for unsupported definition information items saves the definition items not supported by JP1/AJS3 -Definition Assistant in the Other definition information section in the unit definition parameter format on the definition information management template.
The following figure shows an overview of the save function for unsupported definition information.
