Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for displaying, as an association diagram, information on an execution order, execution priority, predicted processing time, information of an operation job whose execution is controlled by a designated start time, and an association on a business job execution computer system, and in particular, Business job execution relation diagram that makes it easy to grasp the relationship between complex or large number of business jobs and the load status of the resources of the computer on which the business job is executed, etc. It relates to a display method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a computer system that performs business job execution control from information on the execution order, execution multiplicity, execution priority, predicted processing time, and designated start time of business jobs, to confirm the execution order of scheduled business jobs It is necessary to refer to the related diagram generated only from the execution order, and to refer to the list output in the time chart format in order to confirm the scheduled start time of each job.
[0003]
Here, a conventional example of a method for automatically generating a relation diagram from the execution order of business jobs is described in, for example, “Integrated operation management system HOPSS3 / AS net flow explanation / operation manual, Hitachi, manual, APP-T-010”. ing. A conventional example of a method of outputting a list in a time chart format is described in, for example, "Integrated Operation Management System HOPSS3 / AS Manual, Hitachi, Manual, APP-B-423-30".
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional method as described above, since the related chart of the execution order and the related chart of the scheduled start time are managed separately, the reason why any scheduled business job is If it is desired to grasp whether the job has been performed and to confirm the validity of the schedule of an arbitrary business job, it is necessary to separately refer to the related diagram of the execution order and the related diagram of the scheduled start time. For this reason, there has been a problem that it is extremely troublesome and difficult to judge the validity of the schedule result.
[0005]
Also, arranging business jobs on the related diagram based on the execution order of complex business jobs and displaying the related diagram alone is not enough to grasp the relationship of business jobs that is very difficult to see. When the number of jobs becomes large, it becomes impossible to display the entire execution-related diagram on the display screen, and for those who refer to the related diagram, it is necessary to refer to the relationship while shifting the display area (scrolling). However, there is a problem that it is difficult to grasp the execution relation of the entire business job.
[0006]
Also, in a computer system that schedules and executes business jobs, if the load on the computer resources is concentrated in a certain time zone, a business job waiting for resources occurs, and it becomes impossible to execute the business job smoothly. Therefore, it is necessary to refer to the schedule results to determine whether or not an overload state occurs for the resources of the computer.However, in order to determine the load state of the resources from the schedule results, output is performed in a time chart format. There is no choice but to make a decision from the number of business jobs to be executed in the time zone by referring to the list of the scheduled results, and it takes time to find the time zone in which the load is concentrated.
[0007]
If a business job ends abnormally, it is necessary to trace the business job that precedes the business job in order to investigate the cause. There is no other way but to troubleshoot the cause of the abnormal termination. Similarly, in order to check the business job that is affected by the abnormal termination of a certain business job, it is necessary to follow the succeeding job of the abnormally terminated business job. There is no other way but to trace from a series of output business jobs, and there is a problem that it is not easy to grasp which business job is affected by abnormal termination of a certain business job.
[0008]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a business job execution related system capable of displaying a related diagram for easily associating a complicated execution order relationship among many business jobs, a scheduled start time, a load state of computer resources, and the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a diagram output method.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides A combination of business jobs to be displayed in the execution-related diagram is specified from the input device. Only business jobs of an arbitrary combination are displayed.
[0010]
By doing so, even when there are a plurality of persons in charge of managing job operations on the computer system, only the job managed by each person in charge and the job related to those job are managed. By displaying, the number of business jobs to be displayed on the execution relation diagram is reduced, and it becomes easy to grasp the execution relation diagram.
[0011]
Here, when selecting a combination of business jobs, it is troublesome to determine the combination of business jobs if the business jobs are specified one by one. Therefore, by using an input device on the execution-related diagram and setting a range, a function of combining business jobs within the range into one set is provided, thereby facilitating the combination work. It is.
[0012]
Further, as a method of determining a combination of business jobs, a function of automatically selecting all business jobs related to the business job when one business job is selected, and a function of following an arbitrary relationship from one business job are provided. This makes it possible to easily combine business jobs related to a certain business job.
[0013]
Also, in order to determine whether the result of the scheduled business job on the execution related diagram is appropriate, Run The horizontal axis of the related diagram is the time axis, and the business job name is arranged on the execution related diagram according to the start time of the business job. At this time, if the length of the certain time is increased, the number of business job names that can be displayed on the screen decreases, and it becomes difficult to grasp the relation of the execution order of the business jobs and the validity of the schedule. Conversely, when the length of the fixed time is shortened, the number of business job names that can be displayed increases, but the arrangement density of business job names on the execution-related diagram increases, making it difficult to see. Run It becomes a related figure. Therefore, the length of the fixed time is increased only in a portion of the execution relation diagram in which the relation of the execution order is to be known in detail, and the length of the fixed time is gradually shortened as the position moves away from the position. By changing and displaying the length of the fixed time in this manner, a part of the execution-related diagram can display the business job on the execution-related diagram relatively large, and it is easy to grasp the detailed relationship of the execution order. . Also, by gradually shortening the length of the fixed time, the number of business job names that can be displayed on the screen increases, and by referencing a wide area on the execution-related diagram, It is easy to check the relation of the order and the validity of the business job schedule result.
[0014]
In addition, Run An area for displaying the load status of the computer or any resource thereof is provided along the horizontal axis which is the time axis of the related diagram, and the increase or decrease of the load is displayed in different colors. This makes it easy to determine the load state of the computer or its resources in each time zone, and enables smooth execution of the business job by distributing the business job in the time zone with a heavy load.
[0015]
When a business job is actually executed, Execution It is represented by changing the color of the business job in the series diagram. By changing the color of the business job, the operator can Run The current state of the computer and the business job can be easily grasped from the related diagram, and quick response can be made in case of an abnormality.
[0016]

Only The matching information is stored in the storage device 5. The combination information 14 can be set using the input device 11 in an arbitrary combination for each business job manager or operator.
[0019]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example in which the business job information management program 8 creates the association diagram creation program 7 based on the business job execution order information 3 and the schedule information 4 previously acquired from the storage device 5 and stored in the storage device 9. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an execution-related diagram displayed on the device 10. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 17 denotes an execution-related diagram, reference numeral 18 denotes a time axis for indicating a start time of each business job, and reference numeral 19 denotes each business job arranged on the execution-related diagram. In FIG. There is a business job with the job name. Reference numeral 20 denotes a line indicating the relationship between business jobs and business jobs, and is hereinafter referred to as a link line. The business job arranged on the right side of the link line 20 means that the business job arranged on the left side is executed after completion. A business job arranged on the left side is called a preceding job of a business job arranged on the right side. A business job arranged on the right side is called a succeeding job of a business job arranged on the left side. A link line leading to a preceding job is called a leading link line, and a link line leading to a succeeding job is called a trailing link line. It should be noted that circled numbers (1) to (9) and (10) in the figure are link line numbers.
[0020]
FIGS. 3A and 3B show the arrangement of business jobs on the execution-related diagram 17 of FIG. For The business job information 12 includes a business job name 121 described in English characters such as A, B, and C, and a preceding link represented by a number of a link line 20 connecting the preceding business job. It is composed of a line identifier 122 and a subsequent link line identifier 123, a start time 124 of the business job, and display check information 125 indicating display / non-display of the business job.
[0021]
The link information 13 includes a link identifier 131 for identifying each link line, a preceding job name 132 to be executed first for each link, and a succeeding job name 133 to be executed later for the link. Here, the leading link identifier 122 and the trailing link identifier 123 are represented by information “None” when there is no leading job or trailing job. The display check information 125 is represented by “1” when it is selected to be displayed on the execution-related diagram 17, and is represented by “0” when it is not selected.
[0022]
FIG. 4 shows that by reducing the number of business jobs displayed on the execution-related diagram 17, Run 17 shows the configuration of combination information 14 indicating a combination of business jobs for determining a business job to be displayed in order to improve the visibility of the related diagram 17 itself, and is used to identify each combination of the combinations. Combination identifier 141, combination name 142 set by the operator for each combination set, business job name representing a business job included in each combination set 143 , Display check information 144 indicating display / non-display of each combination.
[0023]
According to the combination information 14, for example, Only When the operator sets the display check information 144 of the matching name 142 = “KUMI-A” to “1”, only the business jobs included in the set of “KUMI-A” are displayed in the execution relation diagram 17. Conversely, when the operator sets the display check information 144 to “0”, the display check information 144 is excluded from display targets.
[0024]
Here, for example, when there are a plurality of managers who manage the operation of a business job in the business job execution computer system 1, each manager selects a desired combination and sets the input device for each manager. 11 is set. By allowing a desired combination to be set for each administrator, the number of business jobs displayed in the execution-related diagram 17 is reduced, and the execution-related diagram 17 is made easier to see. Since no entanglement occurs, it is easy to find the cause of abnormal termination or the like.
[0025]
In the above configuration, the display method of the execution related diagram 17 when the combination of business jobs displayed in the execution related diagram 17 is designated by the operator and the method of determining the combination of business jobs are described in the example of the execution related diagram 17 in FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG.
[0026]
First, it is assumed that a combination such as 14 in FIG. 4 is set in advance as the combination information 14, and the display method of the execution-related FIG. 17 when any one of the combinations is designated is shown in FIGS. This will be described with reference to a flowchart.
Assuming that the operator uses the input device 11 and designates the combination of business jobs to be displayed as “KUMI-A” in the execution relation drawing 17, the relation drawing program 7 in the relation drawing computer system 6 A search is made from the information 14 for a combination of business jobs having a combination name 142 that matches the combination name specified by the operator, and a business job name 143 included in the combination specified by the operator is acquired. Then, based on the business job name 143, the display check information 125 (FIG. 3) of the business job corresponding to the business job name 143 is set to “1”, and the display check of the business job not corresponding to the business job name 143 is set. information 125 Is set to "0". When the setting is completed, screen display processing is performed.
[0027]
First, in step 501, the top job information of the job information 12 is acquired. Subsequently, in step 502, it is determined whether or not all the acquisition processing of the business job information 12 has been completed, and if completed, the process proceeds to step 506. If the processing has not been completed, the display check information 125 of the acquired business job information 12 is determined in step 503. If the processing check information 125 is “0”, the processing moves to step 505 without performing the business job information display processing in step 504.
[0028]
When the display check information 125 is “1”, the business job information whose display check information 125 is “1” is displayed on the display device. 10 To display. In step 505, the next business job information is acquired from the business job information 12, and the process returns to step 502. The processing from step 502 to step 505 is performed for all business job information 12 existing in the combination specified by the operator. Is repeated until only the business job included in the combination specified by the operator is displayed in the execution-related diagram 17. The state at this time is shown in FIG. Here, the business jobs A, B, C, D, E, and H in the combination “KUMI-A” are displayed. However, the link line has not been displayed yet.
[0029]
Next, the link line indicated by the link information 13 is displayed by the processing from step 506. First, after acquiring the leading link information 13 in step 506, it is determined in step 507 whether or not the acquisition processing of all the link information 13 has been completed, and if completed, terminates the related diagram display processing. . If the processing has not been completed, in step 508, business job information that matches the preceding job name 132 of the link information 13 is searched from the business job information 12. In subsequent step 509, the display check information 125 of the preceding job searched in step 508 is determined. If the display check information 125 is "0", the display processing of the link line indicated by the link information is not performed. , To 513.
[0030]
However, if the display check information 125 is “1”, after searching for business job information that matches the succeeding job name 133 of the link information 13 from the business job information 12 in step 510, in the next step 511, The display check information 125 of the succeeding job searched in 510 is determined, and the display check information 125 is determined. 125 Is “0”, the process moves to step 513 without performing the display processing of the link line indicated by the link information 13.
[0031]
If the display check information 125 is “1”, after performing the display processing of the link line indicated by the link information 13 in step 512, the next link information is acquired from the link information 13 in the next step 513, and The processing moves to 507. Thereafter, the processing from step 507 to step 513 is repeated until the processing of acquiring all the link information 13 related to the business job with the combination name “KUMI-A” is completed.
[0032]
Thereby, the link line of the business job included in the combination specified by the operator is displayed in the execution-related diagram 17, and the display process of the execution-related diagram 17 is completed. FIG. 7B shows an execution-related diagram 17 in which the display processing including the link line is completed.
[0033]
Next, a method of creating a combination of business jobs to be displayed in the execution-related diagram 17 will be described.
First, a method in which an operator creates an arbitrary combination of business jobs irrespective of the relation between the business jobs and sets the combination in the combination information 14 will be described with reference to FIG.
When setting an arbitrary combination of business jobs, the operator uses the input device 11 and sets the display device in advance. 10 Displayed on the display screen of Run On the related diagram 17, a range is set so that business jobs to be included in the combination are included. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, an arbitrary combination range is set by inputting a broken line frame 81 using a mouse of the input device 11.
[0034]
The related diagram creation program 7 acquires the business job name displayed in the range surrounded by the broken line frame 81, adds the combination identifier 141, and assembles it as one set of combination information as shown in FIG. It is added to the end of other set combination information.
[0035]
Thus, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the business job names B, C, F, and H are set as one set. The combination name 142 may be specified by the operator or automatically given by the related diagram creation program 7, but may be any one.
[0036]
Next, by selecting one business job, the preceding job and the succeeding job of the business job are searched, and the combination of the corresponding preceding and succeeding business jobs is searched. Matching Create and combine Matching A method of setting the information 14 will be described with reference to the execution-related diagram 17 of FIG. 2 and the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 and 10.
First, in step 901, when the operator uses the input device 11 to input the combination name 142 to be set, the relation diagram creation program 7 sets the input combination name 142 as the combination name 142 of the combination information 14. Subsequently, in step 902, “0” is set as the initial value of the variable i. In step 903, when a business job name for searching for a business job related to the execution order is specified using the input device 11, the specified business job name is changed to variables user_job_name and variable job_name [i]. To get. Here, it is assumed that the business job name “D” in FIG. 2 has been designated. Then, since the current variable i is “0”, “D” is stored in job_name [0].
[0037]
Next, in step 904, job_name [i] is added to the business job name 143 of the combination information 14. Next, in step 905, the business job information 12 is searched for business job information having a business job name that matches the business job name set in job_name [i]. Thus, when job_name [0] = "D", the business job information of the business job name D is acquired from the business job information 12.
[0038]
Next, in order to check whether the business job having the business job name D has preceding and succeeding business jobs, in step 905, the leading identifier of the leading link identifier 122 included in the business job information having the business job name D is set as a variable. link_id. Since the head link identifier of the business job name D is “3” in FIG. 3, “3” is set in link_id.
[0039]
Next, in step 907, it is determined whether there is a preceding link identifier based on the contents of the variable link_id. If any numerical value is set as the variable link_id, there is a preceding link identifier. Therefore, in the next step 908, link information having the link identifier 131 matching the variable link_id is searched from the link information 13. .
[0040]
Next, in step 909, “1” is added to the variable i to update the variable i. As a result, the variable i is updated from “0” to “1”.
[0041]
Next, in step 910, the preceding job name of the link information searched in step 908 is acquired for the variable job_name [i], and the process returns to step 904. Current variable li n Since k_id is “3”, the preceding job name of “link identifier = 3” is “C” in FIG. 3, and since the variable i is i = 1, the value of job_name [1] is “C”. Become.
[0042]
By repeating the above steps 904 to 910, D, C, B, and A are sequentially set in the business job name 143 of the combination information 14.
[0043]
When the setting of the business job name A is completed, the business job A does not have the preceding job, so that the result of the judgment in step 907 is “no preceding identifier”, and the process proceeds to step 911.
[0044]
In step 911, “1” is subtracted from the variable i. Since the current variable i is “3”, it is subtracted to “2”.
[0045]
Next, in step 922, it is determined whether or not the variable i is less than “0”. Since the current variable i is “2”, the process proceeds to step 923. In step 923, the link identifier next to job_name [i] is obtained as a variable link_id, and the process proceeds to step 907. The current variable i is “2”, and the business job name set in the variable job_name [2] is “B”. Since the business job with the business job name B has no preceding job other than the previously searched preceding job A, the process moves to step 923 via steps 911 and 922.
[0046]
Next, the second preceding link identifier of the business job with the business job name C is set in the variable link_id in step 923. The second preceding link identifier of the business job having the business job name C is “7” in the example of FIG. 3, and the preceding job name of the link identifier = “7” is “H”. Name "H" is the business job name 143 Is added to
[0047]
By repeating these processes until the variable i is determined to be less than “0” in step 922, a set of business job names resulting from tracing the preceding job of business job D specified by the operator Matching Information 14 is set. By performing the same processing as described above on the subsequent job in step 924, the operator can arbitrarily specify a set of business jobs related to the specified business job. Matching Information 14 is set.
[0048]
Next, the operator specifies one business job, and creates a link line with the business job whose execution order is related to the business job. Run FIG. 17 shows an example in which the operator selects one set. Matching By selecting the link line to the business job that you want to include in the Matching A method for setting the information 14 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0049]
Here, an example is used in which the business jobs A, B, C, and G that are connected to the business job F on the execution related diagram 17 in FIG. 2 are set as business jobs to be included in one combination.
[0050]
First, the operator uses the input device 11 to select the business job F on the execution relation diagram 17 of FIG. The selected job job F is highlighted by being surrounded by a thick frame line 111 as shown in FIG.
[0051]
When the business job F is selected, the business job information 12 and the link information 13 are searched, and the link line leading to the business job C which is the preceding job of the business job F is changed to a dashed line 112 as shown in FIG. 17 and is in a state of waiting for a selection from the operator. In this state, the operator selects the link line (link line number {circle around (5)}) indicated by the broken line 112 or instructs the end of the selection operation.
[0052]
Here, it is assumed that the operator has selected the link line 112 with the business job C. Then, the preceding job C of the selected link line 112 is highlighted by being surrounded by the thick frame line 113 as shown in FIG. Next, the preceding job of the business job C is searched, and link lines leading to the business jobs B and H, which are the preceding jobs of the business job C, are displayed by broken lines 114 and 115.
[0053]
Here, the operator selects the link line 114 connected to the business job B. This process is repeated until there is no preceding job or until the operator instructs to end the selection operation. Here, a state in which the operator has selected up to the link line leading to the business job A having no preceding job is shown in the execution-related diagram 17 of FIG. In FIG. 12A, business jobs F, C, B, A , H are indicated by bold lines.
[0054]
Next, the same processing is performed on the succeeding job G of the business job F selected first by the operator. When the selection process of the succeeding job is completed up to the instruction of the operator or the business job having no succeeding job, the business jobs A, B, C, F, G, and H that are highlighted in a bold frame at the end of the process. Is set as the business job name 143 of the set of combination information 14. The state at the time of this termination is shown in the execution-related diagram 17 of FIG.
[0055]
By the way, when the number of business jobs is further increased than the number of business jobs displayed in the execution-related diagram 17 shown in FIG. 2 and cannot be displayed on the display screen of the display device 10, Run Displaying a wide area on the related figure 17 is better Run The related figure 17 can be easily grasped. for that purpose, Run The scale length on the time axis, which is the horizontal axis in the related drawing 17, must be shortened. However, when the scale length is shortened, the intervals between the displayed business jobs become narrow, and it becomes difficult to grasp the relation of the execution order.
[0056]
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the operator uses the input device 11 to specify a time zone in which the user wants to see the relation of the execution order, and specifies the specified time zone. Run At the center of the related diagram, the length of the time scale is gradually shortened and displayed as the distance from the time zone increases. By doing so, it is easy to see the display of the part that the user wants to see the relation of the execution order, and a wide range of business jobs can be Run It can be displayed on the related diagram.
[0057]
In addition, when the operator instructs the rate of shortening the length of the time scale using the input device 11, control is performed so as to change the rate of shortening the length of the time scale in accordance with the instruction. As a result, it is possible to display the execution-related diagram 17 which is easy for the operator to grasp. Run The legibility of related figures is greatly improved. FIG. 13 shows an example of the execution-related diagram 17 displayed in this manner. In FIG. 13, the interval per 10 minutes in the center part a of the screen in the displayed execution-related diagram 17 is displayed to be wider, and the interval per 10 minutes becomes narrower toward the left and right ends of the screen. .
[0058]
On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, the load status of the computer at each time is displayed on the displayed execution relation diagram 17 so that the load status of the computer at each time can be grasped. In the display of the load state, an area is provided along the horizontal axis which is a time axis, and the display color is changed according to the load state and displayed. Here, an example is shown in which the color is changed according to the number of business jobs executed simultaneously in a certain job class. The computer has a plurality of job classes for executing business jobs. The job class is used for grouping according to job attributes. Each job class is set with a multiplicity of business jobs, and the number of business jobs that can be executed simultaneously is limited. For this reason, when a job class exceeds the limit for one job class at a certain time and the job job is executed, a job job in a waiting state occurs.
[0059]
In this example, the computer has two job classes, job class 01 and job class 02, and the multiplicity at which a job can be executed at the same time is "2". Run All business jobs displayed on the related diagram 17 are executed in the job class 01. At this time, an example in which the load status of each job class is displayed in different colors is shown in FIG. Run This is shown in FIG. When the number of business jobs executed at the same time increases, the load on the job class increases. In this example, the color of the portion at 10:40 is displayed dark, indicating that the load is high. From 10:40, since three business jobs are executed, it is expected that one business job will be in a waiting state. In order to avoid this, one business job may be executed in the job class 02 having no load. By changing the color and displaying the state of the resource load of the computer that the user wants to know, it is possible to easily find the part that needs to be adjusted in the schedule.
[0060]
Note that, in this example, an example in which the load status of the job class is displayed is shown. Similarly, the validity of the schedule result can be verified by displaying the load status of various other computer resources.
[0061]
Next, the execution status of the business job Run An example reflected in the related FIG. 17 is shown. FIG. 14 shows the business job information 12 shown in FIG. 3 in which the current status of the business job and the end code indicating the cause of the abnormal termination are added. The business job information management program 8 in FIG. 1 acquires the business job information 12 from the business job control program 2 and sets the status 141 and the end code 142 for it.
