J1 Client Application Services Overview

The J1 Client Application Services (Service) is a Windows service that runs in the background of a user's machine or a dedicated server. This service has two primary responsibilities:

· Running scheduled J1 processes automatically on the days and times you specify

· Relaying e-mail messages to recipients assigned to receive e-mail notifications

The J1 Client Application Services is not included with the main J1 Desktop installer and must be downloaded and installed separately from MyJenzabar.net (Support > Jenzabar One > Application Downloads > J1 Releases). Before installing the service, please read and follow the instructions found on that page. The installer creates a Windows service named "Jenzabar J1 Client Application Services."

How To

In J1 Desktop, a test/play environment can be created by simply making a copy of the production database and configuring J1 Desktop to connect to the new test/play database.

To test the scheduling and notification functionality in a test/play environment, a few additional steps are required:

1. Install the J1 Client Application Services (if not already installed).

2. Stop the J1 Client Application Services (if it is already started).

3. Edit the file named WindowsService.exe.config and find the XML node where the key attribute equals "ConnectionProfileList". Change the "value" attribute by replacing the existing production profile with the appropriate test/play J1 profile displayed in the database drop-down list on the J1 Desktop login window. Save the file.

4. The scheduled processes are stamped with the database and server name information. If your test/play database was created from a copy of the production database, you will need to:

a. Run the following SQL statement against the test/play database if you are a SQL server customer: UPDATE process_def SET database_name = db_name(), server_name = @@servername

b. Delete or disable existing schedules from the Process Schedule window and re-create them while running against the test/ play database.

5. Start the service.
