As long as your AAdvantage number is in the reservation, you should not need to reiterate at check-in, but just check your ticket stub.
However, while your JL flights will earn AA miles/points according to the normal rules [
AA.com;
wiki], unfortunately, those EQP will NOT count toward your Challenge UNLESS you booked the flights as an AA codeshare with an AA flight number on your ticket.
This is stated explicitly on the wiki
Challenge page:
As of January 2007, only flights marketed by AA (with an AA flight number) are eligible for earning points that count towards the completion of a Challenge. You can still fly on a non-AA metal flight operated by a partner, but you must make sure that you have booked it with an AA codeshare flight number. (Previously, points earned on partner-marketed flights were eligible, but that is no longer the case).
