Enabling Job Diagram for JOE

To enable the job diagram viewer, please install the graphviz dot command line tool:

• Graphviz can be downloaded from: https://graphviz.gitlab.io/download/
• To check whether dot it is correctly installed, open a command shell and type: dot -?

  • This command should show the usage for dot

  • If this did not work for you yet, please add the path to the Graphviz binaries into your PATH (environment variable).

• Hint: if dot is not available then JOE writes the value false to JavaSoft/Prefs/com/sos/joe/globals/options/properties/com.sos.joe.globals.options./Options/editor.jobchain.digagram.show
