For example, scheduling, running, monitoring, and the like of job batch processing are implemented on a mainframe host based on CTM (control-M), which is a kind of batch job scheduling management software.

Since the job scheduled on the mainframe belongs to a business process, in order to implement batch processing of the job on the mainframe, it is necessary to configure related configuration of the business process on the mainframe.

Detailed Description

The scheme of the embodiment of the application is suitable for displaying the flow chart containing the association relation between each business flow and the sub-flows in the business flow after the batch processing operation related parameters are configured in the mainframe, so that a user can find out unreasonable parameter configuration and abnormal configuration places in time according to the flow chart, and the abnormal conditions of the batch processing operation are reduced.

To facilitate an understanding of the concepts of the present application, reference will be made to some concepts of the nomenclature referred to herein:

the business process is a process required by completing a business, wherein one business process comprises a plurality of sub-processes, and one sub-process comprises a plurality of operations;

the operation is one or a group of programs which are required to be executed by completing one sub-process in the business process;

the service node is a set of a plurality of service flows in order to manage the service flows. A service node may also be divided into one or more service sub-nodes, each comprising one or more service processes, typically a plurality of service processes.

The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For example, referring to fig. 1, which shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a flow showing method according to the present application, this embodiment may be applied to a computer device, which may also be a personal computer or a server with data processing capability and graph showing capability, or the like.

The method of the embodiment can comprise the following steps:

s101, acquiring a process configuration table respectively configured for at least one service process by a user.

The flow configuration table of each business flow is at least provided with: at least one sub-process contained in the business process and the sequence number of the sub-process.

The sequence number of the sub-process is used for representing the scheduling sequence of the sub-process in the business process to which the sub-process belongs. The scheduling sequence is the sequence in which the sub-processes are scheduled to be executed by the mainframe. It is understood that, since the mainframe may execute a plurality of sub-processes in parallel, there may be a case where the sequence numbers configured for two or more sub-processes are the same in the process configuration table of one business process. Therefore, the scheduling sequence of each sub-process in the business process and which sub-processes belong to the same batch and are scheduled in parallel can be determined through the sequence of the sub-processes.

It is understood that, in the mainframe, each sub-process of the same business process may implement one or more functions, and the implementation of a function by a sub-process may be accomplished through one or more jobs, so that the description of one or more functions that each sub-process can implement and the number of concurrent jobs required to implement each function may also be configured in the process configuration table of the business process. The number of concurrent jobs refers to the number of concurrently executed jobs required to implement one function of the sub-process.

The functions implemented by the sub-process are various, for example, the functions implemented by the sub-process may include: a file splitting function (referred to as a splitting function for short), a transcoding function, and a loading function (loading function) to be loaded to a library, and the like. In practical application, the flow configuration table may also record key information required by each function implemented by the sub-flow. For example, the flow configuration table may include a function template sub-table, where the function template sub-table is used to record parameters and attributes of various templates used when the job scheduling management script is generated, and the loading function may be associated with one function template sub-table.

It is understood that there may be an association between some service flows in the mainframe, or it is necessary to perform processing at the same time, etc., so some service flows may also be configured to belong to the same service node or service sub-node according to the user's needs. Correspondingly, the flow configuration table of the service flow may further record a service sub-node to which the service flow belongs and a service node, where the service sub-node to which the service flow belongs to the service node to which the service flow belongs.

It should be noted that, the flow display method of the present application emphasizes and displays the relationship between the business flows and the relationship between each sub-flow in the business flow, so that the user can make sure whether the relationship between each business flow and each sub-flow and the configuration of the function realized by the sub-flow are abnormal. However, it is understood that in practical applications, various parameters required for the operation of the process, such as a switching period of the service process, a job update timestamp, and the like, may also be configured in the parameter configuration table of the service process, and are not described herein again.

S102, when a business process display instruction is received, determining a target business process displayed by the business process display instruction.

For convenience of distinction, the business process indicated by the business process display instruction is referred to as a target business process. The target business process belongs to the aforementioned plurality of business processes configured by the user.

It can be understood that there are various ways in which the user initiates the business process exhibition instruction in the present application, and there may be various situations in which the corresponding instruction for receiving the business process exhibition is received. And if the user is detected to click the cell recorded with the business process identifier in a preset mode in the process configuration table, confirming that the business process display instruction is detected. The business process display instruction indicates that the displayed target business process is the business process represented by the business process identifier clicked by the user.

The preset mode can be set according to needs, and generally can be distinguished by operations distinguished from conventional cell selection, if the preset mode is to click the cell by right clicking, and correspondingly, if the cell recorded with a certain service flow identifier in the service flow configuration table by right clicking of a mouse by a user is detected, the user is determined to initiate a service flow display instruction for a target service flow represented by the service flow identifier.

S103, determining at least one target sub-process contained in the target business process and the scheduling sequence between the at least one target sub-process according to the process configuration table of the target business process.

Because the sub-processes involved in the target business process and the sequence number of each sub-process are recorded in the process configuration table, the scheduling sequence of each sub-process under the target business process can be obtained through the identifiers of the sub-processes belonging to the target business process and the sequence numbers corresponding to the sub-processes recorded in the process configuration table.

S104, displaying at least one dispatching batch corresponding to at least one target sub-process of the target business process and target sub-processes needing to be dispatched in parallel in each dispatching batch in a chart form according to the dispatching sequence of the at least one target sub-process.

The method for displaying the interrelationship of each sub-process in the target business process in the form of the diagram actually displays the process diagram of the target business process.

If the sequence numbers of at least two target sub-processes are the same, the dispatching sequences of the at least two target sub-processes are the same, and correspondingly, the at least two target sub-processes belong to the same dispatching batch.

The dispatching batches related to the target business process and the target sub-processes needing to be dispatched of each dispatching batch are shown in a chart form, so that the target sub-processes needing to be executed first in the execution process of the target business process can be seen, whether the target sub-processes depend on the execution of other target sub-processes, which target sub-processes are dependent on the execution of the target sub-processes and the like.

The form of the graph mentioned in the present application may be an excel form, or may be a graph in other forms. For example, taking an excel table as an example, each dispatched batch may be sequentially displayed in the excel table according to a principle that each dispatched batch occupies at least one row and a sequence of the dispatched batches, and one or more target sub-processes to be executed in the dispatched batch are displayed in at least one row covered by the dispatched batch.

For example, the service process includes a sub-process a, a sub-process b, a sub-process c, and a sub-process d, where the sequence number of the sub-process a is 1, the sequence numbers of the sub-process b and the sub-process d are both 2, and the sequence number of the sub-process d is 3, at least one row may be selected in the excel table, and assuming that the 3 rd to 5 th rows are selected as the first display area corresponding to the sub-process related to the first dispatch batch, the first column in the first display area corresponding to the 3 rd to 5 th rows may display the sequence number 1, and the other columns after the first column in the first display area may display the related information of the sub-process a and the sub-process a. Correspondingly, the 6 th to 8 th rows can be selected as a second display area corresponding to the sub-process related to the second dispatching batch, the first column of the second display area displays the sequence number 2, and other columns after the first column of the second display area can sequentially display the information of the sub-process b and the sub-process d. Correspondingly, the 9 th to 11 th rows are selected as a third display area corresponding to the sub-process related to the second dispatching batch, the sequence number 3 is displayed in the first column of the third display area, and the identification and the related information of the sub-process c are displayed in other columns behind the first column in the third display area. Based on this, it can be seen from the top-down sequence in the graph that each batch to which the sub-processes of the business process are dispatched in sequence and whether the information such as the sub-processes dispatched in parallel exists in each dispatched batch.

Optionally, when the flow configuration table of the service flow is further configured with descriptions of a plurality of functions that can be implemented by each sub-flow and the number of concurrent jobs required to implement each function, while the dispatching batches and the target sub-flows that need to be dispatched in parallel for each dispatching batch are shown in the form of a graph, the descriptions of the plurality of functions corresponding to the target sub-flows and the number of concurrent jobs for each function may also be shown for each target sub-flow. The information shown in the form of a graph includes, in addition to the dispatch batch to which the sub-business process belongs, the functions that can be implemented by the sub-process and the number of concurrencies required for each function.

Therefore, after the user configures the process configuration table for different business processes, if the user wants to check the specific configuration condition of a certain business process, the application can input a business process display instruction for the business process, the computer equipment can determine at least one sub-process contained in the business process and the scheduling sequence between the at least one sub-process by analyzing the process configuration table of the business process, and shows at least one dispatching batch corresponding to the business process and the sub-processes needing to be dispatched in parallel in each dispatching batch in a chart form, so that the user can visually see the sub-processes configured in the business process and the dependencies called and executed between the sub-processes through the displayed chart, therefore, the user can find the abnormity existing in the service flow configuration in time, and the abnormity existing in the batch processing flow can be reduced.

It can be understood that, a user may have some errors in the process configuration table configured for the business process, such as a format error, a cell in a certain field in the process configuration table being not filled, and the like, and if some parameters in the process configuration table have a filling error, a process chart of the business process may not be generated, and even a batch processing job of a subsequent mainframe may be affected. In order to reduce information filling errors in the process configuration table, after the process configuration table respectively configured for the business process by a user is obtained, whether filling errors exist in the contents in each cell in the process configuration table can be detected according to a preset check rule; when the contents with filling errors exist in the flow configuration table, outputting an error prompt aiming at the contents with filling errors.

The check rule may be a filling format and a content requirement that different types of cells or fields in a preset flow configuration table need to satisfy.

It can be understood that, in the case that the business process needs to be classified into the business node, the interrelation among the business processes under the business node can be further demonstrated. For example, referring to fig. 2, which shows a schematic flow diagram of another embodiment of the flow display method of the present application, the method of this embodiment may include:

s201, acquiring a process configuration table respectively configured by a user for at least one service process.

The flow configuration table of each business flow is at least provided with: at least one sub-process included in the business process; the sequence number of each sub-flow; a description of one or more functions that each sub-process can implement; the sub-process realizes the number of concurrent jobs required by each function; and the service sub-node and the service node to which the service process belongs.

S202, aiming at the flow configuration table of each business flow, detecting whether the content in each cell in the flow configuration table has filling errors or not according to a preset check rule.

And S203, when the contents with filling errors exist in the flow configuration table, outputting an error prompt aiming at the contents with filling errors.

For example, the error prompt may include: cell addresses where there is an error, e.g., D8 cell; error information description, e.g., this field cannot be control; and solutions such as "please fill in integrity".

Optionally, in practical application, each time a user configures one process configuration table, the error detection may be performed on the currently configured process configuration table according to a preset check rule.

Optionally, if it is detected that all the process configuration tables have no error, a prompt message that the verification is passed may be output, and accordingly, a display instruction of a user for a service process in the process configuration table may be executed. If detecting that the user completes the configuration of the flow configuration table, triggering to execute the steps S202 and S203; alternatively, when the user completes the configuration of the flow configuration table, the user may click a button for indicating verification in the configuration interface, and the computer device may perform the steps S202 and S203.

The above steps S202 and S203 are optional steps, and the purpose thereof is merely to reduce the occurrence of an abnormality in the generation of the flow chart.

And S204, when the main node process display instruction is detected, determining the target service node to be displayed currently.

For the convenience of differentiation, the service node to be shown with the flow chart is referred to as a target service node in the embodiments of the present application.

The method for detecting the main node process showing instruction may be various, for example, if a user clicks an assigned key in a configuration interface for configuring the service process, it may be determined that the main node process showing instruction is detected, where a target service node shown by the main node process showing instruction is a service node to which the service process currently configured by the configuration interface belongs when the user clicks the assigned key.

Optionally, when it is detected in the process configuration table that the user clicks the cell for recording the service node identifier in a preset manner, it may be determined that the host node process display instruction is detected. And the target service node displayed by the main node process display instruction is the service node represented by the service node identifier clicked by the user.

S205, determining at least one target service sub-node included in the target service node and at least one service process included in each target service sub-node according to the process configuration table of the at least one service process.

For the convenience of differentiation, the present embodiment refers to the service sub-node under the target service node as a target service sub-node.

Since the process configuration table of each service process records the service sub-node to which the service process belongs and the service node to which the service sub-node belongs, the service processes recorded in the process configuration tables can be determined to belong to the service sub-node included in the target service node and to which service processes included in the target service sub-node by analyzing the process configuration tables of all the service processes configured by the user.

S206, constructing the flow chart of the target service node in a chart form, and displaying the flow chart of the target service node.

Wherein, the flow chart of the target service node respectively presents the information columns of each target service sub-node in the target service node. And each service flow contained in each target service sub node is displayed in the information column of each target service sub node.

The flow chart of the target service node may be an excel table or another type of chart.

The service flows of all target service sub-nodes in the target service node are respectively presented by using a plurality of arranged information columns in sequence in the flow chart, so that the target service nodes comprise the target service sub-nodes and each target service sub-node comprises the service nodes.

Specifically, the types of service sub-nodes of the target service node may be presented in the process icon of the target service node, each type of service sub-node includes at least one target sub-node, and the service sub-nodes belonging to the same type are arranged in the order from top to bottom according to the operation sequence. And the business processes of each business sub-node are arranged in sequence according to the horizontal direction.

For example, see fig. 3, which shows a schematic diagram of a flow icon for a service node.

In fig. 3, "DCC 1" shown in the bold box in the first row represents a service node, while the other bold black boxes in the icon show the identity of the various service sub-nodes contained within the various service sub-node branches that are the service node.

As can be seen from fig. 3, the service node DCC1 includes four sub-node branches (i.e., 4 branches from the service node): DCC1DC, DCC1P1, DCC1P2, DCC1P3, which represent data processing of different services, respectively.

The four sub-node branches of the service node are executed in parallel.

And for each service sub-node branch, sequentially displaying each service sub-node contained in the service sub-node branch from bottom to bottom according to the running sequence. For example, for a service sub-node branch DCC1DC, it includes four service sub-nodes: the method comprises the following steps of DCC1DC1, DCC1DC2, DCC1DC3 and DCC1DCZ, wherein the operation sequence of the four service sub-nodes is sequentially executed from top to bottom, namely, the service flow in the service sub-node DCC1DC1 is executed firstly, then the service flow in the service sub-node DCC1DC2 is executed, and finally the service flow in the service sub-node DCC1DCZ is executed.

Accordingly, the service sub-node branch DCC1P1 includes 4 service sub-nodes sequentially executed from top to bottom: DCC1P11, DCC1P12, DCC1P13, and DCC1P 1Z. Similar to the case of other service sub-node branches, the description is omitted here.

The plurality of service flows contained in each service sub-node are processed in parallel, and when all the service flows in one service sub-node are executed, other service sub-nodes behind the service sub-node can be executed. For example, in fig. 3, a traffic flow in DCC1DC2 child node may be performed only after all traffic flows in DCC1DC1 have been performed.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when it is detected that the cursor is located on a cell where a service sub-node or a service flow is displayed in the flow icon of the target service node, description information associated with the service sub-node or the service flow displayed in the currently clicked cell may be called. As shown in fig. 3, when a user places a mouse on a cell corresponding to a service flow of a service child node, the user may trigger to acquire related description information such as a flow number of the service flow from a flow configuration table, and display the acquired related description information.

S207, when detecting that the user clicks the cell recorded with the business process identifier in a preset mode in the process chart of the target business node, determining the target business process represented by the business process identifier clicked by the user.

For example, as described in conjunction with fig. 3, if the cell corresponding to the flow number "65" of the service flow included in the service child node DCC1DC2 in fig. 3 is clicked, the service flow with the flow number 65 is triggered to be the target service flow, and the operations of steps S207 to S209 are performed to reveal the flow chart of the target service flow.

This embodiment is exemplified by determining that a service flow display instruction is received when it is detected that a user clicks a cell of a certain service flow in a flow icon of the target service node. However, it can be understood that, for the cell recorded with the service flow identifier by detecting that the user clicks in the preset manner in the flow configuration table, the manner of confirming that the service flow display instruction is detected is also applicable to the present embodiment.

Optionally, a boxed area may be further displayed in the flow chart of the service node, and when it is detected that the user sets a required target service flow (for example, sets a flow number of the target service flow) in the boxed area of the flow chart of the target service node, it is determined that a flow display instruction for instructing to display the target service flow is detected.

And S208, determining at least one target sub-process contained in the target business process, the scheduling sequence among the at least one target sub-process, the description of a plurality of functions which can be realized by each target sub-process and the operation concurrency number required by each function realized by the target sub-process according to the process configuration table of the target business process.

S209, according to the scheduling sequence of the at least one target sub-process, the description of the plurality of functions which can be realized by each target sub-process and the number of concurrent jobs required by each function realized by the target sub-process, constructing and displaying a process chart of the target business process.

The flow chart of the target business flow shows at least one dispatching batch corresponding to at least one target sub-flow of the target business flow, and target sub-flows which are required to be dispatched in parallel and contained in each dispatching batch, and for each target sub-flow, descriptions of a plurality of functions corresponding to the target sub-flow and operation concurrency numbers of each function are respectively shown.

Optionally, in order to enable a user to more intuitively see the target sub-processes and related information included in the target business process from the process diagram of the target business process, a sub-diagram may be constructed for each target sub-process, and the sub-diagrams of the target sub-processes in the same dispatching batch are arranged according to the row sequence. Meanwhile, sub-graphs of the target sub-processes in each dispatching batch are sequentially arranged from top to bottom according to the sequence of the dispatching batches.

The form of the sub-chart of the target sub-process can be seen in the following table 1:

TABLE 1

As can be seen from table 1 above, the sub-diagram of the target sub-process shows the process number of the target business process to which the target sub-process belongs, and the sub-process number corresponding to the target sub-process is shown below the process number. Meanwhile, the second column, the third column, the fourth column and the fifth column in the first row respectively show a function description realized by the sub-process, and correspondingly, the second column, the third column, the fourth column and the fifth column in the second row respectively show the number of concurrent jobs required by the sub-process to realize different functions.

In the diagram of the target sub-process, a plurality of multi-entity identifications and data set names can be realized, and information such as interface template description can also be provided.

For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a flow chart of the business process of the present application.

As can be seen from fig. 4, a flow chart of the service flow with the flow number of 34 is currently shown, and as can be seen from fig. 4, the service flow includes five sub-flows, and the sub-flows with the five sub-flows have the following sub-flow numbers: 01, 02, 03, 04 and 05. In which the five sub-processes are dispatched in three lots, and "STEP" in fig. 4 indicates the lots or sequence in which the sub-processes are dispatched.

As can be seen from fig. 4, the five sub-processes of the business process are divided into three batch dispatches, and as shown in fig. 4, three sequence numbers, namely "1", "2", and "3", are recorded in sequence below the "STEP" field. Meanwhile, as can be seen from fig. 4, the sub-process executed first in the business process is the sub-process 01 (i.e., the sub-process with the sub-process number of 01), and after the sub-process 01 is executed, the sub-process 02, the sub-process 03, and the sub-process 04 may be executed in parallel. The sub-process performed for the third batch is sub-process 05.

The sub-diagrams of the five sub-processes are shown in the flow diagram of fig. 4, such as five tables shown by white areas in fig. 4, and the sub-diagrams of the sub-processes are constructed as described above.

Referring to fig. 4, a sub-graph corresponding to the sub-process 01 is displayed in the first dispatch batch, and a process number is recorded in a cell in the first row and the first column of the sub-graph, that is, the process number of the business process to which the sub-process 01 belongs is "34". The cell in the second row and the first column in the sub-chart records the sub-process number, that is, the sub-process number of the sub-process is 01. Meanwhile, a splitting function of the sub-process 01 is recorded in the cells in the first row and the second column, which is abbreviated as "S", and the number of concurrent jobs required by the switching function is 1. Correspondingly, the cell in the first row and the third column records the transcoding function of the sub-process 01, which is abbreviated as "Z", and the number of concurrent jobs required by the transcoding function is 1 in the cell in the second row and the third column, that is, the number of concurrent jobs is 1. Accordingly, the load function of the sub-process 01 is abbreviated as "J", and the number of concurrent jobs required is also 1.

Meanwhile, other information is also recorded in the sub-graph of the sub-process, which is not described herein again.

It can be understood that a frame selection area for selecting a service flow may also be set in the flow chart of the service flow, so that a user may select a flow chart showing different service flows by setting a flow number of the service flow in the frame selection area in the flow chart of the service flow.

As described with reference to fig. 4, a title bar information area is displayed at the top of the flow chart of the business process in fig. 4, and the title bar information area is located in the first row and the second row of the flow chart, that is, as a gray area in the flow chart in fig. 4, 7 functional areas are sequentially displayed in the title bar information area from left to right and from top to bottom, respectively:

(1) and the flow number combination frame control consists of a flow module and a flow number. A box area for selecting a flow number is provided in the combo box space area, and for example, the box area next to "flow number" in fig. 4 shows that the flow number of the business flow is "34".

(2) And a "multiple entity identification" area showing multiple entity identifications and Chinese meaning. "CN 023" is shown in the multi-entity identity as in FIG. 4, where the term means "Life insurance".

(3) System number and chinese meaning, such as "system number" is "008012" in fig. 4, wherein the chinese meaning is "upgrade life insurance".

(4) Home node, i.e., the service node to which the service flow belongs, such as the service node to which the service flow 34 belongs in fig. 4, is DCP1DC 2.

(5) And a refresh button and an Order date, wherein the user-defined date can be filled in the part, and then the online condition of the business process at the user-defined date can be checked by clicking the refresh button.

(6) The application switching period is used for setting the period of the switching process and the like;

(7) and the number of delay days is used for setting the number of delay days according to which the service is scheduled.

Optionally, after the process diagram of the business process is displayed, when it is detected that the user clicks a cell in which the sub-process function description is displayed in the sub-diagram of the sub-process, key information corresponding to the function described by the sub-process function description may be retrieved from the process configuration table. If the user is detected to put the mouse on the cell of the corresponding 'loading function', a detailed description of the function template identification is displayed.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the flow configuration table is checked to pass, and when the user determines that the flow configuration table of each service flow does not have a problem through the service flow and/or the flow diagram of the service node, a parameter configuration file required by batch processing of the mainframe may be generated according to the flow configuration table, and the parameter configuration file is imported to the mainframe.

The method for generating the parameter configuration file based on the process configuration table may be various, and the present application is not limited thereto.

It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the flow configuration table may include a plurality of sub-tables, each of which may be used to implement a different parameter configuration function, and for facilitating understanding of the process of configuring the flow configuration table by a user, the following description is made in conjunction with one case.

For example, referring to fig. 5, a schematic flowchart of acquiring a parameter configuration table of a user in an embodiment of the present application is shown, where the process includes:

s501, receiving a business process configuration request input by a user.

A user may request configuration of a certain business process as needed.

S502, responding to the service flow configuration request, and displaying a service configuration interface.

The service configuration interface comprises a plurality of parameter configuration templates suitable for different service process types.

S503, presenting a process configuration table for configuring the business process parameters.

S504, receiving the service flow mark, at least one sub-flow mark, the service node and the service sub-node mark.

The flow configuration table may also record parameters to be adjusted and parameter values of the parameters to be adjusted in each sub-flow.

For example, each record in the process configuration table may be used to record parameter information related to one sub-process, such as a parameter to be adjusted and a parameter value of the parameter to be adjusted, and may further include an identifier of a child node, a sequence number of the child node, and the like.

As described above, since the flow configuration table further needs to record information such as the service node to which the service flow belongs, the number of concurrent jobs in the sub-flows, and the like, optionally, the flow configuration table may include a plurality of sub-tables. Optionally, the flow configuration table may include: the flow cycle sub-table, the flow scheduling sub-table and the flow parameter table can also comprise a flow interface configuration sub-table and a flow template sub-table. The following tables are presented in order:

(1) and a flow cycle sub-table:

the table is mainly used for recording attributes such as switching date and period of the service flow and file date processed when the host controls the service flow to be executed. For example, the fields and specific meanings contained in the flow cycle sub-table can be as shown in table 2 below:

TABLE 2

For example, in table 2 above, the flow number is a label or an identifier of the service flow, and is used to uniquely identify the service flow. The card turning date, the card turning period and the like are time-related parameters according to which the business process is scheduled.

(2) And a flow scheduling sub-table:

the flow scheduling sub-table is used for controlling the files processed by the business flow, the nodes to which the files belong, the relationship among the sub-flows in the business flow, the processing sequence of each function in each sub-flow, various parameters needed in the processing process and other related information. A record in the table represents a sub-process of a business process, and a process may consist of one or more sub-process records.

For example, the related information in the flow scheduling sub-table can be illustrated by the following table 3:

TABLE 3

The field of the supplementary parameter option value can record the parameter to be adjusted and the parameter value of the parameter to be adjusted in the sub-process.

The number of concurrent jobs can be recorded in the field of the number of concurrent jobs.

The sequence number of the sub-process may be recorded to indicate the execution sequence of the sub-process in the business process.

(3) File interface configuration sub-table:

the files processed by each business process in the host have the same interface but different sources. In the embodiment of the application, the files of the same interface are unified to form an interface template for configuration and maintenance. One record in the file interface configuration word table can correspond to a plurality of records with the same interface name in the process scheduling sub-table, and unified management is facilitated. As an example of batch processing based on CTM, the information required to be recorded in the file interface configuration sub-table may refer to table 4:

TABLE 4

(4) And a flow parameter sub-table:

the flow parameter sub-table stores various parameters used by a single service flow or a sub-flow in the processing process, and different parameter values corresponding to different service configurations, and is used for controlling the branch trend of program processing and ensuring the correctness of the program processing result. By the configuration mode of the flow parameter sub-table, the program trend can be dynamically adjusted in real time without the need of a program version, and the operation and maintenance of the system are greatly facilitated.

For example, the various parameters to be recorded in the flow parameter sub-table can be seen from table 5:

TABLE 5

The field of the process function number may record the label of the sub-process in the business process.

(5) And a flow parameter template sub-table:

the flow parameter template sub-table stores parameters and attributes of various templates used when the batch management program script is generated, and one record corresponds to one function template. As still taking batch processing based on CTM as an example, the information to be recorded in the process parameter template word table can be referred to table 6:

TABLE 6

And S505, storing the flow configuration table filled by the user.

The application also provides a flow display device corresponding to the flow display method.
