Job Management ding to schedule erate on user-friendly GUI screens for automatic job operation, itoring and result management. Combined with various optional products, ety of jobs can be achieved. Need to easily define jobs for automation. JP1/Automatic Job Management System 2 Jobnet definitions Define the ordering relationship of a number of jobs as a jobnet, just like drawing a flowchart on the screen. You can even define jobs and jobnets to run only when a preceding job terminates abnormally. Job definitions You can define which servers are to execute jobs, and what kind of files can be executed (e.g. exe files, bat files, and command/script files). You can also set thresholds for normal, warning, and abnormal, to determine the state of completed jobs. Always normal end Always abnormal end Warning threshold Abnormal threshold Success if file exists Success if file updated Job definition screen Jobnet definition screen Need to flexibly automate jobs. JP1/Automatic Job Management System 2 Sample automatic event-triggered action An e-mail message received File created, updated, etc System generated events Application program generated event Events automatically triggers execution of business process Send an e-mail message Create, update files Execute jobs Planned execution Automatic job execution can be scheduled according to the designated time and date of a jobnet and execution cycle, etc. If the execution date of a jobnet falls on a non-business day, the jobnet is automatically executed on the next business day. Fixed execution Part of the schedule for a certain period registered in planned execution can be changed temporarily. Conditional schedules Calculating a date that acts as a base day from a calendar or schedule rules, you can specify a scheduled execution date as days (business days) forward or back from the base day. Planned changeovers of root jobnets Automatically switch out root jobnets at a specified date and time, and run jobs according to the new schedule. Exclusive schedules You can also specify jobnets that you do not wish to run on the same day. Immediate execution You can override predefined job schedules when urgent execution is required. Event execution Send e-mail or execute jobs automatically (including commands and batch files) when files were created or updated, an e-mail was received, or there was a system or application event. Distributed execution You can set up jobs and run them on multiple servers (the manager and agents). Rerun You can rerun failed jobs or jobnets from any point. There is a wide range of re-run patterns to choose from (starting with failed jobs, before/after failed jobs, from the beginning, etc.) 4
