Job Update Policy
This section provides a method to control the application of job updates that are sent from an MIS system (when the MIS resubmits a JDF job).
You can overrule the system-wide job update policy on a per-job basis at job level: There is no different policy per part, production set or operation.
For more information on JDF job updating, refer to
“JDF Updating”.
Follow System Policy
Uses the update policy specified at the MIS site. This allows the MIS to apply JDF job updates without asking, and without informing the operator that there was an update.
Apply and Inform
Applies all JDF job updates without asking, but posts a notification after applying the updates.
Notify
Posts a notification when a JDF job update needs to be applied. The operator can decide whether to accept or deny the update.
This policy should only be used when the MIS supports asynchronous JMF commands. Otherwise, the MIS will fail the update when the operator does not immediately answer the notification.
Apogee returns an error to the MIS upon receiving a synchronous command, and posts a notification. The notification states that the update was rejected because of a misconfiguration, and suggests you either change the MIS protocol settings or use a different update policy. The same message is included in the error reply sent to the MIS.
Deny and Inform
Denies the JDF job update without asking, and without informing the operator that the update was denied.
