Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic job output control method for each format, and more particularly to an automatic output control method for jobs that use formats in a remote batch processing system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in the job output control method of this type of remote batch processing system, when multiple jobs using the same or different formats are output to a terminal capable of format control processing, the output jobs are output to the terminal in the order in which they occur. sending process.

Furthermore, prior to sending an output job, format control information used by the job to be sent is also sent to the terminal.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the job output side control method in the conventional remote batch processing system described above, the output jobs are sent to the terminal in the order in which they occur. Format control processing also needs to be transmitted to the terminal for each output job, and a large amount of format control information is transmitted each time a job is output, resulting in poor communication line usage efficiency when outputting a job.

Furthermore, since output results using different formats are output to the terminal in the order of occurrence, there is a drawback that it takes time and effort for the terminal operator to journalize the job execution results for each format.

In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to transmit format control information to a terminal when the number of retained jobs exceeds a specified value set for each format, and then transmit an output using the format TIItrJ information. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic job output control method for each format, which improves communication line usage efficiency and reduces journalizing work of job execution results.

[Means for solving problems]

The format-specific job automatic output 11 control method of the present invention is capable of automatically outputting an output job generated for a terminal capable of format control processing by opening a session with the terminal without operator intervention. In a remote batch processing system capable of generating a remote batch processing system, the number of retained jobs by format is declared as a prescribed value for each format to be output to the terminal when the remote batch processing system is generated; A format for counting the number of retained jobs for each format used in an output job when the output job occurs, and checking whether the number of retained jobs for each format has reached the specified value declared by the format-specific retained job number specified value declaration means. Used in an output job to start outputting a retained output job when it is determined that the number of retained jobs has reached the specified value by the means for checking the number of retained jobs by format and the means for checking the number of retained jobs by format. a format control information transmitting means for transmitting format control information to the terminal; and a job output processing means for transmitting output jobs that are pending after the format control information transmitting means finishes transmitting the format control information to the terminal. have

[Effect]

In the format-specific job automatic output control system of the present invention, the format-specific retained job number specification value declaration means declares the number of format-specific retained jobs as a prescribed value for each format to be output to a terminal when a remote batch processing system is generated, and The number of jobs check means counts the number of retained jobs for each format used in the output job when an output job is generated to the terminal, and the number of retained jobs for each format reaches a specified value declared by the specified value declaration means for the number of retained jobs for each format. When the format control information transmitting means starts outputting the retained output job when it is determined by the format-specific retained job number checking means that the number of retained jobs has reached a specified value. The format control information used in the output job is transmitted to the terminal, and the job output processing means transmits the output job that is pending after the format control information transmitting means finishes transmitting the format control information.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a remote batch processing system 10 to which the format-based automatic job output control method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied is connected to a job execution control mechanism 30 and a terminal 60 capable of format control processing. 1, a format-specific retained job number standard value declaration means 1, a format-specific retained job number checking means 2, a format control information transmitting means 3, a job output processing means 4, a retained job management table 20, and a format control file 40. and an execution result file 50.

Referring to FIG. 2, remote batch processing system 10
A part of the generation program includes a standard value declaration means 1 for the number of retained jobs by format, which generates a retained job management table 20 as shown in FIG.
The number of jobs that can be retained, 01 to nn, is declared for each of "a plurality of formats rform names 1 to n for terminal nameJ".

Referring to FIG. 3, the processing for each format in the format-specific retained job number check means 2 includes a generated output job registration step 31, a currently outputting determination step 32, and a retained job number over specified value determination step 33. .

Referring to FIG. 4, the processing in the format control information transmitting means 3 includes a step 41 of opening a session with the terminal;
Format control file search step 42, Format control file open and format control information reading step 43,
Format control information editing and format control information transmission step 44
It consists of

Referring to FIG. 5, the processing in the job output processing means 4 includes an output job determination step 51 and an execution result file opening and execution result file reading step 52.
, an output data editing terminal transmission step 53, a pending job management table update step 54, a pending job output completion determination step 55, a pending job management table reset step 56, and a session closing step 57 with the terminal.

Referring to FIG. 6, the retained job management table 20 is as follows:
It exists in the remote batch processing system 10 corresponding to the terminal 60 and is composed of a terminal identification name, the number of format entries, and a plurality of format entries, and one format entry includes the format name, the number of jobs that can be retained, and the retained jobs. number and job name stack area pointer. A plurality of job names using the corresponding format are stacked in the job name stack area indicated by the job name stack area pointer.

Next, the operation of the format-specific job automatic output control system of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

When the remote batch processing system 10 is created, the retained job management table 20 is created and the terminal identification name is stored in the retained job management table 20.

Number of format entries, format name within each format entry.

Information such as the number of jobs that can be retained and the job name stack area pointer is set. In particular, the format-specific retained job number specified value declaration means 1 specifies the number of retained jobs for each format used for job output as an element of various information declared to the format-controllable terminal 60.

Upon receiving the output job occurrence notification from the job execution control mechanism 30, the format-specific retained job number check means 2 updates the retained job number of the corresponding format in the retained job management table 20 and checks the output jobs that have occurred in the job stack area. (Step 31). Next, check whether the format used by the generated output job has already exceeded the number of retained jobs and is currently being output.
7) In step 32), when output is in progress, this job is automatically output, so no processing related to job output is performed.If output is not currently in progress, the number of pending jobs is accumulated for the format used by the generated job. It is determined whether the number of jobs that can be retained in the job management table 20 has been exceeded (step 33), and if the number of jobs that can be retained has not been reached, job output is suspended.

The format control information transmitting means 3 opens the cefsilane of the corresponding terminal 60 in order to transmit format control information of a format in which the number of retained jobs exceeds the number of jobs that can be retained to the terminal 60 (step 41). Next, if it is possible to hold a plurality of format control files 40 in the remote batch processing system 10, a format control file 40 in which a format to be transmitted to the terminal 60 is stored is searched (step 42).

Next, in order to access the format control file 40, the corresponding format control file 40 is opened, and then the format control 'B information is read (step 43). Next, format control information is edited in order to transmit the read format control information to the terminal 60, and after the editing process is completed, the format control information is transmitted to the terminal 60 (step 44).

The job output processing means 4 first determines the job whose output should be started from among the output-waiting jobs registered in the job stack area of the pending job management table 20 (step 51). Next, after opening the execution result file 50 of the determined output job, reading of output data is started (step 52). Next, conversion (editing) processing is performed to output the read output data to the terminal 60, and the converted data is sent to the terminal 60 (step 53).
). Next, the job whose output has been completed is deleted from the job stack area of the retained job management table 20, and the number of retained jobs is updated (step 54).

Next, it is checked in step 55) whether or not the output of all the pending jobs using the corresponding format has been completed. If there are any jobs that have not been output yet, the process returns to step 51 and all the pending jobs are outputted. When all the job outputs are completed, the output of all the pending jobs using the corresponding format is completed, so after resetting the pending job management table 20 (step 56), the session with the terminal 60 that was outputting is completed. (step 57),
End job output processing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides the output processing function of a remote batch processing system with means for declaring a specified value for the number of retained jobs by method, means for checking the number of retained jobs for each format, means for transmitting format control information, and job output processing means. According to
It is no longer necessary to send the format control information used by the output job to the terminal each time before sending the output job to a terminal capable of format control processing, and it is now possible to output a specified number of jobs by sending the format control information once. This has the effect of improving the usage efficiency of communication lines.

Further, job execution results in the same format are collectively output to the terminal, which has the effect of reducing the journalizing work of job execution results for each format by the terminal operator.
