[0026]
Hereinafter, a procedure of processing performed by the host computer 1 (2) will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the job execution processing performed by the host computer 1 (2). The host computer 1 and the host computer 2 perform the same processing.
Note that, for simplicity, the job execution process in the host computer 1 will be described, and the description of the job execution process in the host computer 2 will be omitted.
[0027]
First, in S101, using a terminal device (not shown) connected to the host computer 1, the operator inputs job information including a new start target job name, its start date, and start time to the job input unit 11. It is determined whether the input has been made. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S102, and the job processing is started. If No, the process waits until a job is input.
[0028]
In S102, when the job information is input to the job input unit 11, the job management unit 12 inquires of the job execution monitoring unit 16 whether or not the already input job is being executed. If the result of the inquiry is Yes, That is, if it is determined that the job has not been executed, the process proceeds to S103. If No, that is, if the job is being executed, the process waits until the job being executed is completed, and the process proceeds to S103.
[0029]
In S103, the job management unit 12 determines whether or not there is a waiting job in the job log file 141. If this determination result is Yes, that is, if it is determined that there is a waiting job, the process proceeds to S104. If No, that is, if it is determined that there is no waiting job, the process proceeds to S105.
[0030]
In S104, the job management unit 12 performs a process of stopping the execution of the waiting job, which is the job to be executed next, for the job registration process.
[0031]
In step S105, when the execution stop processing of the waiting job is completed, the job input unit 11 passes the temporarily stored job information to the job management unit 12.
In S106, the path name and the argument indicating the storage location of the execution program corresponding to the job name included in the job information passed by the job management unit 12 are acquired from the job storage destination table illustrated in FIG.
[0032]
In S107, the job management unit 12 generates a record including the path name and the argument acquired in S106 and the job information (job name, job start date and time) received in S105 described above.
[0033]
In S108, the job management unit 12 stores the record generated in S107 in a job log file according to the job disclosure date and time included in the job information. That is, the job execution schedule is reset.
[0034]
In S109, according to the schedule reset in S108, the process of resuming the job execution suspended in the process of S104 after the current date and time is performed. Details of the job execution resuming process will be described later.
[0035]
The processing so far is the job execution processing.
Next, details of the job execution resuming process performed in the process of S109 in the job executing process shown in FIG. 4 will be described. In this process, the job execution is restarted from the first job after the current date and time of the reset job execution schedule including the job input by the operator. Note that all of this processing is performed by the job management unit 12.
[0036]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the contents of the job execution resuming process.
First, in S201, the current time Tr is obtained from a system clock (not shown) and temporarily stored in an internal memory (not shown).
[0037]
In S202, "1" which is an initial value is substituted for the variable N.
In S203, the job start date and time Ts of the job information whose record number indicated by the value of the variable N is N is obtained from the job log file.
[0038]
In S204, a comparison is made between the current time Tr and the job start date and time Ts acquired by the processing of each of S201 and S203 described above, and whether or not the job start date and time Ts is in the future time space from the current time Tr is determined. Is determined. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S206, and if No, the process proceeds to S205.
[0039]
In S205, an addition of N + 1 is performed, and the addition result is substituted for a variable N. After this processing is completed, the processing returns to S203, and the above-described processing is repeated.
[0040]
In S206, the initial value “1” is substituted for the variable m.
In S207, job information (path name, argument) indicating the storage location where the execution program is stored is obtained from the record whose record number indicated by the value of the variable N corresponds to N.
[0041]
In S208, it is determined whether or not the job information (path name, argument) has been acquired in the process of S207 described above. If the determination result is Yes, the process of S209 proceeds, and if No, it is regarded that all the jobs stored in the job log file 141 have been executed, and the job execution resuming process ends.
[0042]
In S209, it is determined whether or not the variable m is “1”. If this determination result is Yes, that is, the first job in the job execution resuming process is executed, the process proceeds to S210. If No, it is regarded that the second and subsequent jobs are executed, and the process proceeds to S211. .
[0043]
In S210, a time difference Ti between the job start time Ts obtained in the process of S203 and the current time Ts obtained in the process of S201 is obtained, and the value T1 of the time difference is used as a job execution time counting timer (not shown). ) Is set.
[0044]
In S211, a time difference T2 between the start time Ts-1 of the currently executing job and the execution start time Ts of the next job is obtained, and the obtained value T2 is set in a job execution time counting timer.
[0045]
In S212, a value is set to the job execution time counting timer in the processing of S210 or S211 described above, and at the same time, down counting is started. This timer is decremented by one when a certain time elapses.
In S213, it is determined whether the timer value is “0”. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S214. If the determination result is No, the process waits until the timer value becomes “0”.
[0046]
In S214, the job information (path name, argument) obtained in the process of S207 is passed to the job execution unit 13 and stored in the storage location in the execution program file 142 indicated by the job information passed by the job execution unit 13. Is started.
[0047]
In S215, when the execution program is started in the process of S214, an addition of N + 1 is performed in the job management unit 12 and this calculation result is substituted for the variable N, and an addition of m + 1 is performed by the job management unit 12. The calculation result of the lever is substituted for the variable m. Then, after this processing is completed, the processing returns to S207, and the processing of S207 to S216 is repeated. That is, the above-described processing is repeated until the last job stored and scheduled in the job log file 141 is started.
[0048]
The processing so far is the job execution restart processing in each of the host computer 1 and the host computer 2.
Next, a job execution entrustment process to another host computer when a job execution entrustment request is generated in the host computer, and a job log file update process in the host computer entrusted with the job execution entrustment will be described. This process is based on the premise that the host computer 1 and the host computer 2 are connected to a TCP / IP-based network such as the Internet.
[0049]
For simplicity of explanation, the host computer 1 will be described as a job execution commission source that has issued a job execution commission request, and the host computer 2 will be described as a job execution commission destination.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the job execution commissioning process in the host computer 1.
[0050]
First, in S310, it is determined whether or not the job management unit 12 has received a job execution commission from the event detection unit 15 or a detection notification of a specific event of various failures. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S311; if No, the process waits until a specific event occurrence notification is received.
[0051]
In S311, after the job management unit 12 requests the communication unit 17 to open a connection with the host computer 2 and the connection between the host computers 2 is established, the job management unit 12 requests the transfer permission of the job log file 141. And the request is made from the communication unit 17 to the host computer 2.
[0052]
In S312, it is determined whether a transfer preparation completion notification returned from the host computer 2 in response to the transfer permission request has been received. If this determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S314, and if No, the process proceeds to S313.
In S313, the job management unit 12 determines whether or not the time that has elapsed since the transfer permission request was made in the above-described processing of S311 is within a predetermined time. If the determination result is Yes, the process returns to the process of S311 and the processes of S311 to S312 are repeated, and if No, the reception of the preparation completion notification is waited.
[0053]
In step S314, upon receiving the transfer preparation completion notification from the host computer 2 in step S312, the job management unit 12 immediately transfers the contents of the job log file 141 to the host computer 2 of the job execution commission destination via the communication unit 17 in the FTP format. File transfer is performed.
[0054]
In S315, the job management unit 12 determines whether a log file transfer completion notification returned from the host computer 2 in response to the file transfer has been received. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S317, and if No, the process proceeds to S316.
[0055]
In step S316, the job management unit 12 determines whether the time elapsed since the file transfer was performed in step S314 is within a predetermined time. If the determination result is Yes, it is regarded that the file transfer has failed due to a file transfer error or some kind of failure in the host computer 2 to which the job execution is entrusted, and the process returns to S311 and repeats the processes of S311 to S316. If it is No, it waits for the reception of the transfer completion notification.
[0056]
In S317, it is determined whether or not the event detected by the event detection unit 15 in S310 and temporarily stored is a job execution consignment event. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S318. If the determination result is No, the process determines that the event is a power-off event and proceeds to the process of S319.
[0057]
In S318, the contents of the job log file 141 are deleted by the job management unit 12, and the job log file 141 is initialized.
In S319, a power shutoff process such as a process of closing a file opened under the control of a power control unit (not shown) is performed.
[0058]
The processing so far is the job execution entrustment processing in the host computer 1 or 2.
Next, the processing of the host computer as the job execution entrusted computer will be described in detail.
[0059]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a job log file update process in the host computer 2 which is a job execution commission destination.
First, in S410, the job management unit 22 determines whether or not a job log file transfer permission request has been received from the host computer 1 that is the job execution contractor. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S411, and if No, the process waits until a job log file transfer permission request is received.
[0060]
In S411, it is determined whether or not the job is being executed by the job execution unit 23. This determination process is determined based on the result of the job management unit 22 inquiring the job execution status monitoring unit 26. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S412. If the determination result is No, the process waits until the currently executing job ends.
[0061]
In step S <b> 412, the job management unit 22 determines whether there is a next waiting job in the job log file 241. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S413, and if No, the process proceeds to S414.
[0062]
In step S413, the job management unit 22 issues a command to stop the execution start processing of the next waiting job to the job execution unit 23. Then, after the job execution start canceling process in the job executing unit 23 is completed, the process proceeds to S414.
[0063]
In step S414, the job management unit 22 transmits, via the transmission unit 27, a preparation completion notification indicating that the transfer file is in a ready state indicating that the transfer file has been accepted.
[0064]
In S415, it is determined whether the job log file (the log file 141 in FIG. 1) transferred from the request source in the FTP format has been received in response to the transmitted preparation completion notification. If the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to S416, and if No, the process proceeds to S417.
[0065]
In S416, the received log file (log file 141 in FIG. 1) of the job execution commission source is temporarily stored in an internal memory (not shown), and the stored request source log file and self log file 241 are stored. The job management unit 22 performs a merge process as shown in FIG. As a result of this merge processing, the job submitted at the request source is reset as the job schedule of the request destination.
[0066]
In S417, the job management unit 22 determines whether or not the time that has elapsed since the preparation completion notification was transmitted to the request source in the above-described processing of S414 is within a predetermined time. If the result of this determination is Yes, it is considered that some transmission error or failure has occurred at the request source, and the job log file update processing ends. If No, that is, if within a predetermined time, the process returns to S415 and waits for transfer of a log file from the request source.
[0067]
In S418, after the merge processing in S416 is completed, a log file acceptance completion notification is transmitted by the job management unit 22 to the request source via the communication unit 27.
[0068]
The above processing is the job log file update processing performed by the job execution contractor.
A control program for causing a computer having the standard configuration as described above to execute the various processes shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 described above is created, and the control program is read and executed by the computer. Accordingly, it is also possible to cause such a computer to perform functions corresponding to various processes in the above-described embodiment. Further, the above-described control program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, for example, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or the like, and the program is read out from the recording medium and executed by the computer. It is also possible to cause such a computer to perform a function corresponding to the above processing.
Further, the recording medium may be a storage device provided in a computer functioning as a program server and connected to the computer via a network. In this case, a transmission signal obtained by modulating a carrier wave with a data signal representing a control program is transmitted from a program server through a network which is a transmission medium, and the computer demodulates the received transmission signal to execute a control program. Is reproduced, the control program can be executed.
[0069]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, at least two host computers that execute a job according to the job execution schedule information stored in the jublog file, according to a job execution entrustment request by one of the host computers, The log file of the outsourced computer is merged with the log file of another computer to which the job is entrusted by file transfer processing to update the job log file of the outsourced host computer.
[0070]
By doing so, it is possible to automatically reset the job schedule of the host computer to which the job execution is to be entrusted, and it is unnecessary for the administrator to set the job schedule in the host computer of the request destination conventionally. Thus, there is an effect that the load of the job can be easily distributed.
