A. First embodiment A-1. Configuration of First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a basic functional configuration of a screen automatic generation system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a screen component list database 1 holds information on components arranged on a template which is a screen source when a screen is created. As described above, parts include text boxes for text input and search condition input, buttons for instructing events such as search and cancel execution, and radio buttons for selecting one of multiple items. and so on.

  In this embodiment, each part is created in advance for an application to be designed, and in addition to a single part such as a text box, a button, and a radio button, as a composite part, for example, a part with a code translation function, A text box for entering the code value to be translated and a text box for displaying the translation name are registered as a set. For this reason, when creating a screen, the screen developer only has to select a part that realizes a desired function and drag and drop it onto the template. The component properties (button size, position, etc.) can be modified according to the purpose at the time of screen creation to be described later.

  Next, the screen creation unit 2 provides a user interface for creating a screen in accordance with the component information held in the screen component list database 1. More specifically, the screen creation unit 2 displays the business screen template on the screen on the PC, and displays the screen component list, the component properties, and the like side by side on the same screen. The screen developer creates a business screen layout 4 by selecting a desired component from the screen component list on the screen provided by the screen creation unit 2 and dragging and dropping it on the template with a mouse or the like. It will be. Next, the part property setting unit 3 sets (changes) the properties (button size, position, etc.) of the parts arranged in the template in accordance with an instruction from the screen developer.

  The event action definition unit 5 generates an event definition file 9 and an action definition file 10 for each component arranged in the template according to the business screen layout 4. More specifically, the event action definition unit 5 includes a screen configuration information extraction unit 6 and an event action definition file generation unit 8. The screen configuration information extraction unit 6 extracts screen configuration information from the business screen layout 4 created by the screen creation unit 2 and generates a screen configuration information file (CSV format) 7. The event action definition file generation unit 8 generates an event definition file 9 and an action definition file 10 described in XML for each component on the business screen layout 4 based on the screen configuration information file 7.

  The event definition file 9 defines what action is to be taken when an event occurs for the corresponding part. The action definition file 10 is associated with the event definition file 9 and defines details of the action. Since one event can be associated with a plurality of actions, a single event definition file 9 may be associated with a plurality of action definition files 10 for each action.

The event action definition unit 5 reads information on screen items (parts) arranged in the created business screen layout 4 and generates a screen configuration information file (CSV format) 7.

  The event action definition unit 5 reads the screen configuration information file 7 and displays the screen shown in FIG. The screen developer first selects a part from the screen item list 30. When a component is selected from the screen item list 30, the screen item settable event list 31 displays a list of events that can be set for the selected component. In the example shown in the figure, “inquiry” is selected as a component, and an event list that can be set in the “inquiry” is displayed. The screen developer selects an event to be assigned to the part from the screen item settable event list 31.

  Next, the screen developer sets an action to be activated when the selected event occurs in the action list 32. Since one event can be associated with a plurality of actions, actions to be activated are sequentially added as necessary. The action set for the event is displayed in the action list 32.

  When the screen developer clicks the “save event file” button 33 on the screen shown in FIG. 3B, the event action definition unit 5 loads the event definition file 9 described in XML according to these settings. Generate and save. When the screen developer clicks the “edit attribute” button 34 on the screen shown in FIG. 3B, a screen for performing detailed action settings shown in FIG. 4 is displayed. On this screen, detailed settings for actions (designation of screen items to be processed, etc.) are performed. In addition, when the screen developer clicks the “output action configuration file” button 4a on the screen, the event action definition unit 5 generates and saves the action definition file 10 described in XML.

  The event definition file 9 and the action definition file 10 are associated with each part of the business screen layout 4 created in the screen creation unit 2 and are on the same screen as the template 20 on which the parts are arranged as shown in FIG. Are displayed in the list area 23. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of an event definition file, and FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of an action definition file.

  The event action definition unit 60 reads the screen event description 55, analyzes the parts to be arranged on the screen, the events of the parts and actions for the events, generates the event definition file 9 and the action definition file 10, and generates the business screen. It is associated with each component of the layout 4 and finally output as the work screen 11.

C. Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment, using the screen configuration information file generated by the screen automatic system described in the first embodiment described above, new registration, change / cancellation, etc. of data for a file system such as an employee master A batch automatic processing function for batch automatic processing is automatically generated, and new registration, change / cancellation, etc. for a large amount of data are batch processed automatically by the batch automatic processing function.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a batch automatic processing function creation system according to the third embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that portions corresponding to those in FIG. In the figure, a screen configuration information extraction unit 65 extracts screen configuration information 70-1 and screen attribute information 70-2 from the business screen layout 4 created by the screen creation unit 2, and a screen configuration information file (CSV format). 70 is generated. Details of the screen configuration information file 70 will be described later.

  Here, FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a business screen layout created according to the third embodiment. The illustrated business screen is a screen for performing new registration, change, cancellation, and inquiry with respect to the master file (employee master) 78. In the business screen, “new registration”, “change”, “cancel”, and “inquiry” are arranged so that they can be selected by radio buttons as processing items 100 that can be executed from the screen. In addition, an employee code input box 101 and an inquiry reference date input box 102 are arranged for specifying the corresponding data for the above processing. A “search” button 103 is a part that is an event generation source. When the “search” button 103 is pressed, a master file (not shown) is used with the employee code and the reference date entered in the input boxes 101 and 102 as keys. The corresponding data is retrieved from the (employee master) 78.

  “Detailed item” includes a box 104 for displaying the employee name of the search result, a box 105 for displaying the employee name, a box 106 for displaying / selecting the officer code / name of the employee, A box 107 for displaying a department store is arranged. In addition, when changing the data, each of the “detail items” boxes 104 to 107 is changed from, for example, an employee name change, an employee name change, or an officer code change (selected from codes displayed in a pull-down list) ) Etc., it is also used as a box for entering changes. Further, at the bottom of the screen, an “execute” button 109 for executing update of the master file (employee master) 78 with contents input in each box of “detailed item”, and a “close” button 110 for closing the screen. Is arranged.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a screen configuration information file including screen configuration information and screen attribute information extracted from the business screen layout. In FIG. 9, the screen configuration information file 70 is shown separately from the screen configuration information 70-1 and the screen attribute information 70-2, but may be a single file as shown in FIG. In FIG. 11, the screen configuration information 70-1 has the same configuration as that of the screen configuration information file 7 described in the first embodiment, and the screen form ID, class name, item name, etc. (arranged on the screen template). A list of parts made up). The screen form ID indicates an ID that uniquely identifies the screen. The class name indicates the component type of each item. The item name corresponds to each item (component) shown in FIG.

  The screen attribute information 70-2 is information that defines data that can be input to each item of the screen configuration information 70-1, and includes a data length, a data form, a character type, and the like for each item. In the illustrated example, a data length “7 (character)” and a character type “single-byte characters” are set for the item name “employee code”. For the item name “employee name”, a data length “10 (character)” and a character type “double-byte” are set. The screen attribute information 70-2 is used for display and input check of scenario information and format information input by a data input template, which will be described later.

  Although not shown in FIG. 9, an event definition file (XML) and an action definition file (XML) are also generated for the business screen layout 4 as described in the first embodiment. Needless to say.

  Next, the scenario input template creation unit 71 takes in the screen configuration information 70-1 and the screen attribute information 70-2, and the scenario input template (operation group, operation, screen item, format in shaded area) 72 shown in FIG. (“Yyy / mm / dd”, “KKKKKKKKK”, etc. in the format column are not included). Here, the scenario input template 72 includes a scenario for changing the information of one employee (a flow of a series of screen operations when using the business screen) and a scenario for newly registering information of one employee. It is created for each scenario of screen operation using the master file 78. The scenario input template shown in FIG. 12 shows a scenario input template for a scenario when changing an employee. Here, the operation group refers to a processing request unit (search process, execution process, etc.) to the server or host computer that reads and writes information from and to the master file 78 in one scenario. An operation refers to a process (data setting, event issuance, etc.) performed by an end user on a business screen in each operation group in one scenario.

  Next, the scenario input template processing unit 73 performs operation group information, operation information, and screen item information (search, data setting, reference criteria in the white area in FIG. 12) input to the scenario input template 72 by the developer. Information such as date) is received from the scenario input unit 81 and stored in the scenario input template 72. In the scenario example of FIG. 12, the radio button of the “Change” processing category shown in FIG. 14 is pressed, the value that becomes the search condition is input by the employee code / reference date, the search button is pressed, and the search is changed. This shows the operation of entering values for the desired items (use start date, deletion category, employee name, employee name, etc.) and pressing the execute button. It should be noted that each item portion (for example, yyyy / mm / dd) of the column of “format” of the scenario input template 72 is the contents of the screen items stored by the scenario input template processing unit 73 <reference reference date, etc. > Is automatically set from the screen attribute information 70-2. For example, when the developer inputs the reference date in the white line of the scenario input template 72, the scenario input template processing unit 73 automatically sets yyyy / mm as a format item based on the input reference date. Set / dd. Next, the scenario input template processing unit 73 saves the scenario, sets the format item (yyyy / mm / dd), and then outputs a data input template 74 for end user input shown in FIG. In the data input template 74 output at this time, the stored scenario and the items in the column of the format automatically set based on the scenario are displayed (shaded portion in FIG. 13). Then, the scenario input template processing unit 73 outputs the screen items (processing category, employee code, reference date, start date, deletion category, employee name, employee name) entered by the developer when the data input template 74 is output. Etc.) is also checked with the screen configuration information 70-1.

  Here, the data input template 74 is displayed only for the item whose operation is “data setting” in the scenario input template 72, and other operation items (for example, event issuance). Is held inside the data of the data input template 74. The data input template 74 displays the format of each item for each screen item based on the scenario input template 72 (for example, XXXXXXXXX is displayed as the employee code format. This shows both the character type and the data length). Here, the employee code is 7 digits. Therefore, the end user is required to input the data format (data length (such as employee code XXXXXX)), form (such as yyyy / mm / dd), character type (half-width, full-width), etc. ) Can be found easily. The format, that is, the attribute is used to check whether the data input by the end user matches the set format. Further, the “process order” shown in FIG. 13 is a process number assigned automatically. In addition, in the white portion of the data input template 74 in FIG. 13, an item that is not changed can be not input (blank), and a special keyword (in this example, @clear is used for an item for which a blank is intentionally set. ).

  The data input template processing unit 75 stores employee data (one slip per line) input by the end user in the white portion of the data input template 74 shown in FIG. 13 (for example, in the white portion in FIG. 13). , Employee code <0000001>, reference date <2003/04/01>, use start date <2003/04/01>, erasure category <1>, employee name <Taro Yamato>, employee name <Daiwa Taro>, (Title <01>, department store <100> information) and data are saved and output as an execution file 76. At this time, the data input template processing unit 75 does not accept data input from the data input unit 82 one by one, but in advance files for the desired number of people (for example, for 50 people, 100 people, etc.). The data is input by the end user by using a function such as copy and paste, received from the data input unit 82, and stored in the data input template 74. As a result, the effect of reducing the operation can be obtained to register a large amount of data.

  Although details will be described later, the data batch processing unit 77 is a slip batch automatic input screen that can be selected from the business screen shown in FIG. 10, and an execution file 76 created by the data input template processing unit 75 based on the data input template 74. The specification of (document file described in XML or the like) is accepted, and the master file (employee master) 78 is updated (changed) according to the execution file 76. FIG. 15 shows an execution file. As shown in this figure, the execution file 76 is described in XML or the like.

  In the third embodiment described above, first, as described in the first embodiment described above, the screen creation unit 2 follows the parts selected by the screen developer dragging and dropping onto the template 20 with a mouse or the like. A business screen layout 4 is created. Next, the screen configuration information extraction unit 65 extracts screen configuration information 70-1 and screen attribute information 70-2 from the business screen layout 4 and generates a screen configuration information file (CSV format) 70.

  The scenario input template creation unit 71 takes in the screen configuration information 70-1 and the screen attribute information 70-2 and generates a scenario input template 72 shown in FIG. The developer inputs a scenario (order of processing, contents: white portions in FIG. 12) from the scenario input unit 81 while viewing the scenario input template 72 displayed on the screen. When a scenario is input to the scenario input template 72, the scenario input template processing unit 73 reads the format of each item from the screen attribute information 70-2 and automatically sets it. After scenario registration, a data input template 74 corresponding to the shaded portion for end user input shown in FIG. 13 is output.

  In normal business operations, the end user performs processing (new registration, change, cancellation, inquiry) one by one from the business screen shown in FIG. For example, in the case of changing the master file, the end user first selects a change radio button, inputs an employee code, a reference date, and clicks a search button. Then, the information read from the master file 78 is output to each column of the detailed items on the business screen. The end user changes the output information (employee name, employee name, officer code, department store, etc.) and clicks the execute button. Thereby, the master file 78 is changed.

  On the other hand, for example, when changing a large amount of employee data, such as for 50 people or 100 people, prepare files for the desired number of people in advance and use functions such as copy and paste. Then, the data is input into the white portion of the data input template 74 shown in FIG. Here, the data input template 74 includes, for example, a button for operating a set macro. When the end user clicks the button, the data input template processing unit 75 is activated, and the execution file 76 is saved. Output it.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the end user selects “automatic slip input” 90 from the pull-down menu that is displayed by clicking “Option” on the business screen. When the “slip collective automatic input” 90 is selected, a slip collective automatic input screen shown below is displayed. The end user designates the execution file 76 generated by the data input template processing unit 75 in the “input file name” 92 of the slip automatic input screen, and then presses (clicks) the “execute” button 93.

  When the “execute” button 93 is pressed on the slip batch automatic input screen, the data batch processing unit 77 automatically updates the master file (employee master) 78 in batch according to the execution file 76 designated by the end user ( Change). That is, when data for 50 people is registered in the execution file 76, data for 50 people is updated at once, and when data for 100 people is registered, The data for 100 people will be updated collectively.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, a function for batch processing can be automatically generated by creating a business screen. As a result, even if a large amount of data is newly registered in the file system such as the employee master, or is changed or canceled, there is no mistake and the burden on the user can be reduced. In addition, by the processing of each processing unit described above in the third embodiment, it is possible to easily implement a function that can automatically input a large amount of data on any other screen in a general manner.
