Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reconstruct execution destination information of a job.SOLUTION: Server grouping means 12B extracts correspondence relation between a job and an execution destination server of the job from execution information storage means 12A and groups jobs by execution destination servers. AP path information extraction means 12C extracts an application path needed for execution of the grouped jobs from a job definition database 15, and additional server management means 12D inquires if each server of an additional server group 30 has the application path or not. When the application path needed for execution is owned, the server is designated as the execution destination of the job belonging to the group and the execution destination information of the corresponding job stored in the execution information storage means 12A is reconstructed.

Description

  The present invention relates to a job management system, and more particularly to a job management system that reconstructs information related to a job execution destination.

  The job management system has execution information that stores the correspondence between a plurality of jobs and the execution destination server of each job, and the execution destination server is determined based on the execution information when executing each job. Determine and send the job to this server. As a job execution destination, if it can be executed only on a specific server, only the server name is included. If it can be executed on a plurality of servers, a plurality of server names are included.

  By specifying a plurality of servers as job execution destinations in this way, the job execution destination can be changed according to the server load.

  However, when adding a new server, such as for improving the job processing capacity of the entire system, the system administrator can determine whether each job can be executed on the additional server. In some cases, it was necessary to reconstruct the execution information by adding that server as the execution destination server.

  For this reason, there is a case where a setting error when reconstructing the execution information and an increase in the number of man-hours required for the reconstruction are accompanied, which increases the burden on the system administrator.

  On the other hand, Patent Documents 1 to 3 are the contents of the above-mentioned technical fields that are conventionally known in detail.

  The technologies disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 detect a difference between an environment in which a job can be executed and an environment of a newly added server, and execute a job for one or both of the additional server and the job. It is a technology that enables jobs to be executed on an additional server by changing the environment so that it can be executed.

  The technique disclosed in Patent Document 3 classifies a plurality of printing apparatuses into groups that can handle a specific processing language, and identifies printing apparatuses having high processing capabilities from the grouped printing apparatuses. In this technology, when a printing device fails, the printing process can be transferred to another printing device that belongs to the same group to distribute the load of the printing process. Is difficult.

Embodiment
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a job management system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the job management system of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a job definition database 15 that stores a plurality of jobs, and a job that manages the correspondence between each job in the job definition database 15 and a server that executes each job. The management unit body 12 and job transmission control unit 11 that transmits the job of the job definition database 15 to the corresponding execution destination server via the communication unit 13 based on the correspondence relationship managed by the job management unit body 12. ing.

  Accordingly, the job transmission control unit 11 can transmit each job stored in the job definition database 15 to a corresponding execution destination server based on the correspondence managed by the job management unit main body 12.

  Further, as a server for executing the job transmitted by the job transmission control means 11 described above, a server group 20 constituted by a plurality of servers 21 to 24 and a plurality of servers having functions equivalent to those of each server of the server group 20 And an additional server group 30 including additional servers 31 to 33.

  In this embodiment, the servers of the server group 20 are four servers 21 to 24 and the additional server group 30 is three servers of additional servers 31 to 33. However, the server group servers are two or more servers and added. One or more additional servers in the server group may be used.

  The above-described job management unit body 12 stores which server of the server group 20 executes each job in the job definition database 15 by an input command from an external command input unit provided outside the job management system 10 in advance. The execution information storage means 12A is provided.

  Each of the servers included in the server groups 20 and 30 transmits a job via the application program storage units 21C to 24C and 31C to 33C in which specific application programs are stored in advance, and the communication units 21A to 24A and 31A to 33A. Job execution means 21B to 24B and 31B to 33B for executing the contents of the application program storage means 21C to 24C and 31C to 33C based on the job transmitted from the control means 11 are provided.

  Thus, the job execution means 21B to 24B and 31B to 33B can execute the contents of the application program storage means 21C to 24C and 31C to 33C based on the job transmitted from the job transmission control means 11.

  Further, the above-described job management unit main body 12 extracts the correspondence between the job and the execution destination server from the execution information storage unit 12A, generates this correspondence as transfer information, and also executes the execution destination indicated by the transfer information. Server grouping means 12B is provided for grouping each job for each server.

  Here, when grouping, the server grouping unit 12B groups jobs having the same execution destination server name so as to belong to the same group, and assigns Gi (i is a natural number) as the group name. It has a function to do.

  In this embodiment, i is set to 3 and the execution destination server is divided into three groups. However, the number of groups to be grouped may be two or more.

  Further, the job management unit body 12 extracts the application path required for execution of each job grouped by the transfer information generated by the server grouping unit 12B from the job definition database 15, and this extraction is performed. An AP path information extracting unit 12C is provided that adds an application path to a group corresponding to the transfer information described above and generates a list of application paths necessary for each group.

  As a result, the server grouping unit 12B groups each job in the job definition database 15 for each execution destination server, and the AP path information extraction unit 12C can generate a list of application paths required for each group. .

  Further, whether the job management unit body 12 transmits the transfer information generated by the AP path information extraction unit 12C to each of the servers 31 to 33 of the additional server group 30 and has an application path required for each group. Additional server management means 12D for making an inquiry about whether or not each group is provided.

  Here, in each of the additional servers 31 to 33, an application program is installed so as to correspond to one or a plurality of application paths, and specified by receiving an inquiry from the additional server management unit 12D. Application search means 31D and 32D for searching for an application path and transmitting an answer indicating that the application path is equivalent when the same application path exists are provided.

  In addition, the job management unit main body 12 transmits a response for each group of transfer information in response to the inquiry from the additional server management unit 12D described above, and a response indicating that “having a path equivalent to the designated application path” The additional server that sent the message is set as the execution destination of each job that belongs to the group so that it can be executed in the same way as the server specified as the execution destination of the previous job, and the execution information based on this setting content A setting content restructuring unit 12E for reconstructing job execution destination information in the storage unit 12A is provided.

  Thereby, the additional server management unit 12D makes an inquiry to each server of the additional server group 30 whether or not it has an application path required for each group, and has a path equivalent to the designated application path. The additional server that transmitted the reply can be designated as the execution destination of the group, and the execution destination information of the job in the execution information storage unit 12A can be reconstructed.

  Further, by grouping, the number of determinations can be reduced as compared with the determination of the presence / absence of application paths corresponding to each job in the job definition database 15 one by one.

  Here, it is assumed that each of the additional servers 31 to 33 is provided in advance with an operating system (OS) operable, and this OS receives an instruction from the outside, and the OS of the application storage means 31C to 33C. Assume that a list of application paths is held in advance to execute the contents.

  For this reason, the above-described application search means 31D to 33D extract a list of application paths held by the above-mentioned OS, and whether there is a path equivalent to the application path transmitted from the additional server management means 12C in this list. It may be determined whether or not.

  As a result, the search time can be shortened because the search place is limited when searching for the application path of the OS, rather than searching the contents of the application storage means 31C to 33C.

  Further, an application search program storage means (not shown) storing the processing contents of the application search means 31D to 33D is provided in the additional server management means 12D, and the additional server management means 12D includes the contents of the application search program storage means. May be transmitted to each additional server via the communication means 13, and this content may be executed by each additional server.

  Thereby, even if the system administrator does not provide the application searching means 31D to 33D in the additional servers 31 to 33 in advance, the additional server management means 12D stores the program information in which the processing contents of the application searching means are recorded in each additional server 31 to 33. The program can be executed by each additional server 31 to 33, and the burden on the system administrator can be reduced.

[Overall operation]
Next, the overall operation of the job management system will be described with reference to FIGS.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as described above, the conventionally installed servers are the servers 21 to 24, and the servers to be added are the additional servers 31 and 32. Furthermore, it is assumed that the application search unit 31D is included in the additional server 31, and the application search unit 32D is included in the additional server 32.

  The job definition database 15 stores jobs whose job names are indicated by JOB1 to JOB4, and the application path necessary for executing JOB1 is “/ usr / bin / ap / run-proc”. This application path is provided by the servers 21 to 23 and the additional servers 31 and 33. The application path necessary for executing the JOBs 2 and 4 is “/ usr / local / bin / ap / run-proc2”. The servers 23 to 24 and the additional servers 31 and 32 have paths, and the application path necessary for executing JOB3 is “/usr/bin/run.sh”. It shall be.

  First, the server grouping unit 12B extracts the correspondence information between the job stored in the execution information storage unit 12A and the execution destination server (FIG. 2: step S101 / corresponding relationship information extraction step) and Transfer information listing the correspondences between job names and execution destination server names as shown in FIG. 3A is generated (FIG. 2: step S102 / transfer information generation step).

Here, transfer information illustrated in FIG. 3A will be described.
In FIG. 3A, JOB1 to JOB4 represent job names, and 21 to 24 represent server names designated as job execution destinations.

  Next, the server grouping unit 12B groups the jobs for each execution destination server based on the generated transfer information, and assigns group names G1 to G3 to each group (FIG. 2: Step S103 / Group) Process). Here, the jobs having the same execution destination are grouped so as to belong to the same group.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 3B, transfer information that is grouped for each execution destination and assigned a group name is generated. Here, since the execution destination servers of JOB2 and JOB4 are the same, they are grouped into G2.

  Subsequently, the AP path information extraction unit 12C analyzes the definition script for each of the jobs belonging to each of the groups G1 to G3 in FIG. Here, the script to be analyzed may be a script that can be analyzed statically, such as a batch script or a shell script.

  Regarding the result of the analysis by the above-mentioned AP path information extracting unit 12C, the AP path information extracting unit 12C extracts the storage location (application path) of the application program necessary for executing the job, and uses this application path as described above. Transfer information to which the application path as shown in FIG. 3C is added is generated (FIG. 2: step S104 / application path extraction step).

  As a result, the AP path information extraction unit 12C can obtain application path information necessary for each group recorded in the transfer information.

  The additional server management unit 12D inquires the additional servers 31 to 33 for each group whether or not there is an application path required for each group. First, the transfer information is transmitted to the additional server 31.

  The application search unit 31D that has received the inquiry about the application path including the transfer information from the additional server management unit 12D determines the application path required for each group based on the transmitted transfer information. It is determined for each group described in the transfer information whether or not 31C has (FIG. 2: step S105 / application search step).

  First, the group G1 is determined. In the group G1, since an application path indicated by “/ usr / bin / ap / run-proc” is required, the application search unit 31D determines whether or not the application storage unit 31C has this application path.

  In this embodiment, an example in which one application path is required for each group is shown. However, when there are a plurality of required application paths, all of the plurality of application paths are stored in the application storage unit. It is determined whether or not it exists.

  If it is determined by the application search means 31D that there is an application path (FIG. 2: YES in step S105), an additional server management responds that the application path specified by the transfer information group G1 exists in the server 31. Transmit to means 12D.

  The additional server management unit 12D that has received this information adds the server 31 to the additional execution destination server name of the group G1 because the additional server 31 has an application path necessary for executing the job of the group G1. (FIG. 2: Step S106 / execution destination server addition step). As a result, the transfer information added by the additional server 31 as shown in the row of the group G1 in FIG. 3D is generated.

  Similar to the above-described determination of the presence / absence of an application path required for the group G1 of transfer information, the application search means 31D also determines the presence / absence of an application path for the groups G2 and G3.

  As a result, a reply to the effect that the server 31 can also execute the group G2 is transmitted from the server 31, and the additional server management means 12D, as shown in the row of the group G2 in FIG. 31 is added as the server name.

  For the group G3, a reply that the application path indicated by “/usr/bin/run.sh” does not exist in the application storage means 31C (FIG. 2: NO in step S105) is transmitted from the server 31. Receiving this, the additional server management means 12D remains empty without adding the server 31 to the additional execution destination server name of the group G3 as shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, when the application search unit 31D completes the determination of the presence / absence of the application path required in the group G3, the application search unit 31D transmits to the additional server management unit 12D that the search is completed.

  The additional server management unit 12D that has received the search completion information determines whether there is an additional server that has not been searched in addition to the additional server 31 (FIG. 2: Step S107 / unsearched server determination step).

  As a result of the above determination, since the additional servers 32 and 33 have not been searched (FIG. 2: YES in step S107), the aforementioned transfer information is first transferred to the additional server 32.

  Also for the additional server 32, the presence / absence of an application path required for each group of transfer information described above is determined. As a result, the application search means 32D (not shown) adds an answer indicating that G1 does not exist, G2 exists, and G3 does not exist for each application path indicated by the groups G1 to G3. Send to.

  As a result, the additional server management unit 12D adds 32 to the additional execution destination server name in the row of the group G2 in FIG. As a result, the group G1 can be executed by the additional server 31, the group G2 can be executed by the additional servers 31 and 32, and the group G3 can be executed by neither of the additional servers 31 and 32. Information is generated.

  Subsequently, the additional server management unit 12D determines whether there is an unsearched additional server in addition to the additional servers 31 and 32 (FIG. 2: Step S107 / unsearched server determination step). Since the search has not been performed (FIG. 2: YES in step S107), the transfer information is transferred to the additional server 33.

  Also for the additional server 33, it is determined whether or not there is an application path required for each group of transfer information described above. As a result, the application search unit 33D (not shown) transmits to the additional server management unit 12D a reply that G1 exists and G2 and G3 do not exist for each application path indicated by the groups G1 to G3. .

  As a result, the additional server management unit 12D adds 33 to the additional execution destination server name in the row of the group G1 in FIG. Thereby, it is recorded that the group G1 can be executed by the additional servers 31 and 33, the group G2 can be executed by the additional servers 31 and 32, and the group G3 cannot execute any of the additional servers 31 to 33. Transfer information is generated.

  Subsequently, the additional server management unit 12D determines whether there is an additional server that has not been searched in addition to the additional servers 31 to 33 (FIG. 2: Step S107 / unsearched server determination step), and the result of this determination Since there is no unsearched server (FIG. 2: NO in step S107), the setting content construction unit 12E executes the job stored in the execution information storage unit 12A and the execution of this job based on the transfer information described above. Rebuild the correspondence with the destination.

  The setting content construction unit 12E newly adds the servers 31 and 33 as the execution destination of JOB1 of the execution information storage unit 12A, and adds the servers 31 and 32 as the execution destination of JOB2 (FIG. 2: Step S108 / execution information re-execution). Construction process).

  As a result, the additional servers 31 and 33 are added as additional execution destinations of JOB1 in the execution information storage unit 12A, the additional servers 31 and 32 are added as additional execution destinations of JOB2 and JOB4, and job execution destination information is reconstructed. be able to.

  Here, in the operation in the above-described embodiment, each execution content executed in the above steps may be programmed and the computer may function. In this case, the program may be recorded on a non-temporary recording medium such as a DVD, a CD, or a flash memory. In this case, the program is read from the recording medium by a computer and executed.

(Effect of embodiment)
As described above, in the present embodiment, the server grouping unit 12B acquires the execution destination of each job stored in the job definition database 15 from the execution information storage unit 12A, and groups them for each execution destination server. The path information extraction unit 12C extracts an application path necessary for executing a job belonging to each group from the job definition storage unit 12A, inquires whether the additional server 31 has this application path, and determines the application path. If there is, the additional server 31 that made the inquiry is designated as the execution destination of the job belonging to the group, and the contents of the execution information storage unit 12A are reconstructed. Thereby, when a server is newly added, the execution destination of a job that can be executed by this additional server can be reconstructed. This eliminates the need for the system administrator to manually reconstruct the job execution destination, thereby reducing the number of man-made errors and man-hours associated with reconstruction. In addition, when the number of servers that can execute jobs increases as the number of servers increases, the system administrator does not need to determine which servers can execute jobs. Cost can be reduced.

[Other Embodiments]
As described above, in one embodiment, the additional server management unit 12D adds the additional servers 31 to 33 as additional execution destination servers to the transfer information in which the execution destination server names so far are recorded. On the other hand, the additional server management unit 12D regards the servers that can be executed so far as being empty (the “execution destination server name” column in FIG. 3D is blank), and adds the additional servers 31 to 33. By doing so, the execution destination of the group can be limited to the additional server group 30 only. For this reason, instead of adding a new server, for example, when moving from the development environment to the production environment in system development, it is possible to cope with the case where a system similar to the previous system is newly constructed. it can. In such an environment migration, the number of servers and the server names are usually different, so the system administrator needs to change the corresponding server name between the previous system and the new system, or add it as an execution destination for additional servers. However, job execution destination information can be reconstructed without performing such additional work, and man-hours associated with setting errors and changes by the system administrator can be reduced. Even in this case, it is possible to obtain a job management system having the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment.
