JPH04257961A - Batch job schedule management system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To retrieve the executing state of a batch job at real time and to save man-hour and time for confirming the result of the job and starting the next job by registering a batch job name on a file concerning the respective batch job names. CONSTITUTION:The job name of each batch job is registered on a job monitor file 7 by an application 1 for batch job name registration. Next, an application 4 for start flag set is integrated into the beginning of each batch job, and an application 6 for end flag set is integrated into the end. Afterwards, when a batch job 10 is activated by an application 2 for batch job activation, the application 4 for start flag set sets the start flag to the job monitor file 7 and when each application program 5 is completely executed, the application 6 for end flag set sets the end flag to the job monitor file 7.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a batch job schedule management system for a system operating without a central console of a host computer.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of batch job schedule management system, the results are checked on a remote terminal after a certain period of time has passed after the job is finished, based on a batch job execution result list, and the next job is submitted. .

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional batch job schedule management system described above, an operator at a remote terminal has to check the execution result list for each job, and the execution result list is
There are problems in that it takes a considerable amount of man-hours and time to confirm the job result and start the next job, such as confirmation cannot be made until a certain period of time has elapsed.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] A batch job schedule management system of the present invention includes a file for registering batch job names given to batch jobs in a searchable manner;
and a terminal equipped with an application program for instructing registration, search, and activation of the batch job in the file.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. First, the job name of each batch job is registered in the job monitoring file 7 using the batch job name registration application 1. Next, a start flag setting application 4 is installed at the beginning of each batch job, an end flag setting application 4 is installed at the end, and an end flag setting application 6 is installed at the end. When you start batch job 10 with batch job starting application 2, first start flag setting application 4 is started.
sets a start flag in the job monitoring file 7, then executes each application program 5, and when it is finished, the end flag setting application 6 sets an end flag in the job monitoring file 7.

The execution status search application 3 searches the job execution status from the job monitoring file 7, and
Display on screen.

[0008]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the present invention, by registering each batch job name in a file, the execution status of a batch job can be checked in real time. Since you can search and start jobs from a remote terminal, you can significantly reduce the number of man-hours and time required to check job results and start the next job.
