Save JMP Sessions
Each time you use JMP is called a session. A saved session is a JSL script that re-opens documents and re-runs
analyses to restore JMP’s state when the session script was saved. A saved session can help get you back to a
previous state without having to manually re-open files and re-run analyses.
If you are an advanced user, it is important to understand what session information is preserved in a saved
session. Any documents (such as data tables, scripts, and journals) that have been saved are re-opened. JMP
windows that support script saving are re-run (equivalent to clicking the red triangle in a report and
selecting Script > Redo Analysis). Side effects of running scripts, such as global variable values or custom
windows, are not saved. The state of highly interactive analyses is also not saved.
Save Sessions Upon Exiting
The most common use of saved sessions is to save the state when JMP exits so it can be restored when JMP
restarts. By default, JMP asks whether you would like to save the state of your session each time you exit the
program (Figure 10.8). This enables you to quit JMP, and then return to it later without having to open the
files with which you were previously working.
