Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a batch job execution confirmation method for an information processing system, and more particularly to a batch job execution confirmation system capable of easily confirming the execution status of batch processing to be executed in a conversational manner. Regarding the scheme.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional method for checking the execution status of a batch job in an information processing system for executing a batch job is that the operating system assigns a job processing number when the batch job is started, and a batch job is assigned to each job processing number. A general method is to confirm the execution status of the batch job by writing the start information and the end information of the above in a log file and searching the start information and the end information of the written batch job by the job processing number. When the execution status of a batch job is confirmed in such a confirmation method, the execution status is searched and confirmed from the console along with the execution statuses of other batch jobs based on the job processing number information provided by the operating system. In addition, in the methods of checking the execution status of batch jobs up to now, batch job names and batch processing numbers are assigned based on ANK bases such as single-byte English characters and numbers, so the batch job names are represented. There was a limit.

An example of a conventional batch job execution confirmation system is
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-257961, “Batch Job Schedule Management System”. In this batch job schedule management system,
By executing the start flag set application and executing the end flag set application at the end of the batch process, the start and end flags of the batch job are registered in the monitoring file and the batch job registered in the monitoring file Search and display the execution status.

[0004]

In the conventional batch job execution confirmation method described above, when confirming the execution status of a batch job, other batches are sent from the console based on the job processing number information given by the operating system. There is a drawback that it is necessary to search and confirm the execution status together with the job execution status, and the execution status of the target batch job cannot be immediately confirmed. Also, 1
Since the batch job name and batch processing number are given based on the ANK base such as alphanumeric characters that are byte characters,
When checking the execution status of the target batch job, there is a drawback that the batch job cannot be easily identified based on the name.

Further, in the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-257961, "Batch Job Schedule Management System", in addition to the above-mentioned problems, detailed information including the execution status of programs constituting a batch job is confirmed. There is a problem that cannot be done.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and sequentially registers execution information of batch jobs and programs constituting the batch jobs, and retrieves the registered information by the batch job name to obtain details of the batch job. Batch job execution in an information processing system that can easily check various execution statuses in a conversational manner, which can significantly reduce the man-hours and time required to check the execution status of batch jobs. The purpose is to provide a confirmation method.
