DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a form output method in a network in which a plurality of host computers are connected, and more particularly, to a method of executing a TSS (time sharing system) job on a partner host computer. Related to a form output method to be output from a host computer of the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a network in which a plurality of host computers are connected, a job is executed by a partner computer located at a location distant from the host computer on the host side, and an output form of the execution result (in the case of a simple list output) May be output from the host computer on its own side. At this time, the host computer of the other party usually executes the requested job by the TSS method. Hereinafter, a form output method in such a case will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 2, a host computer 21 on the self side and a host computer 22 on the other side are connected via a network 26. Of course, the number of host computers 22 on the other side is not limited to one. Self host computer 21
, A terminal 23 having a serial printer 27 and a line printer 28 are connected. The other host computer 22 has a TSS for performing the TSS processing.
A processing unit 25 is provided. A pass-through 24 is provided inside the host computer 21 on the self side so that the terminal 23 on the self side can be used as the TSS terminal of the host computer 22 on the other side.

In this system, the result of execution of a TSS job performed by the host computer 22 of the partner side is transmitted from the TSS processing unit 25 to the pass-through unit 24 of the partner side by using the form output function of the TSS processing unit 25 of the partner side.
Is output to the serial printer 27 or the line printer 28 on its own side. In this case, the output of the execution result from the other TSS processing unit 25 is performed as part of a series of TSS processing.

[0005]

In the above-described conventional form output method, the form output processing is performed as a part of the TSS processing. The disadvantage is that the TSS operation has to be interrupted. Also, since the output device is a line printer or a serial printer,
When the number of forms is large, such as a compile list of a large-scale program, there is a disadvantage that it takes a long time to output.

An object of the present invention is to transmit the execution result of a TSS job in a host computer on the other side to a
An object of the present invention is to provide a form output method capable of outputting a form at high speed without interrupting the SS operation.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems] form output method of the present invention is connected via a first host computer a second host computer and Gane Ttowaku, wherein the instruction from said first host computer Executing a TSS job on a second host computer;
In a form output method for outputting an execution result of an S job to the first host computer, the network
But a host computer that runs independently of TSS processing
And outputting the execution result to a transfer file stored on the second host computer, and transferring the transfer file using the file transfer function between the host computers of the network. Then, the contents of the transfer file are output to a form output device connected to the first host computer.

[0008]

The result of the execution of the TSS job by the second host computer, that is, the host computer of the other party, is output to a transfer file stored on the host computer of the other party, and then the file transfer function between the host computers on the network is provided. This transfer file is transferred to the first host computer, that is, the host computer on its own side.
This is performed irrespective of the processing, and when the execution result has been written to the transfer file in the host computer of the other party, a new TSS operation can be performed on the other party. The interruption of the TSS operation can be prevented. Further, by using a page printer as a form output device on the self side to which the contents of the transfer file are output, it is possible to output the execution result at a higher speed.

[0009]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a computer network system in which a form output method according to an embodiment of the present invention is performed.

This computer network system comprises a host computer 1 for each of a self side and a counterpart side.
2 are connected by a network 11.
The terminal 3 and the page printer 12 are connected to the host computer 1 on its own side. Then, in the host computer 1 on its own side, a TSS processing unit 5 for processing a TSS job, a storage device 7 for storing files,
A host-to-host file transfer processing unit 9 for performing file transfer by a host-to-host file transfer function on the network 11 and a pass-through 4 for connecting the terminal 3 to the partner host computer 2 by TSS are provided. I have. On the other hand, the other host computer 2 is similarly provided with a TSS processing unit 6, a storage device 8, and a file transfer processing unit 10 between host computers.

Next, according to the form output method of the present invention, a TSS job is executed from the terminal 3 connected to the host computer 1 on the self side on the host computer 2 on the other side.
The operation when the execution result of the TSS job is output on its own side will be described. First, a TS is transmitted from the terminal 3 via the pass-through 4 to the host computer 2 on the partner side.
Start the S job. This TSS job is executed by the T
The processing is performed by the SS processing unit 6, and the execution result is written to a transfer file allocated on the storage device 8 in the host computer 2 on the other side. Next, the file transfer processing units 9 and 10 between the host computers of both the host computers 1 and 2 are started, and the transfer files are transferred to the host computer of the other party by using the file transfer function between the host computers of the network 11. Is transferred from the second storage device 8 to the storage device 7 of the host computer 1 on its own side. This transfer, since due between the host computer file transfer function separately proceed with TSS process via a pass-through 4, Thus, even while the transfer is being performed, the other party from the terminal 3 TSS operation to the host computer 2 can be continued.

The contents of the transfer file transferred to the host computer 1 on its own side are output to the page printer 12 under the control of the TSS processing section 5 on its own side. Since the output is controlled by the TSS processing unit 5, a command is issued from the terminal 3 to the TSS processing unit 5 so as to output, for example, immediately after the transfer, or to suspend the output until a new instruction is issued. It is possible to make a selection such as:

By outputting a form as described above and outputting a compile list of, for example, 2500 steps, in the conventional method (however, using a line printer with a printing speed of 250 lines / minute), the interruption time of the TSS operation is 10 minutes. In the case of this embodiment (using a page printer with a printing speed of 2500 lines / minute), the interruption time of the TSS operation is 0 and the time required for form output is 9 minutes (= 1 minute).
(0 minute-1 minute).

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the execution result of the TSS job in the host computer of the partner is output to a transfer file stored on the host computer of the partner, and subsequently, the host computer of the network is output. By transferring this transfer file to its own host computer using the inter-file transfer function, the execution result is transferred independently of the TSS processing, thereby preventing interruption of the TSS operation to the other party. In addition, there is an effect that a high-speed execution result can be output.
