Description

  The present invention relates to a batch processing verification device, a batch processing verification program, and a batch processing verification method that efficiently verify the validity, consistency, and continuous execution performance of processing conditions of a batch file.

Conventionally, in LSI design, a batch file is generally executed when a series of tools are continuously executed. As a method for verifying the validity of the batch file itself and the execution environment in advance, a method by visual confirmation or trial in a test environment can be considered.
However, in addition to the time and effort required for visual confirmation, as the number of processing units increases, it has become substantially difficult to confirm all tool groups.
Further, in trials in a test environment, it takes time to create a test environment, and confirmation of the consistency between the test environment and the environment that is actually used has become difficult as the number of processing units increases.

As a result, there has been a problem that the quality of the batch file is degraded or a defect is sometimes created.
In addition, processing that takes a long time to execute abnormally ends and requires re-execution, or it takes time to analyze the defect location of the batch file, or to suppress such problems in advance, There is also a problem that TAT (Turn-Around Time) related to the entire design increases, for example, a lot of time is required for prior confirmation of the batch file.

  Here, as prior arts related to the processing conditions of the batch file, for example, a software environment definition design method described in Patent Document 1, a batch job online activation management method described in Patent Document 2, and a patent document 3 Examples include a program start management system.

According to the software environment definition design method described in Patent Document 1, the necessary environment definition is correctly selected from the environment definition information for each software only by inputting the name of the software that implements the environment definition and the environment definition information. It can be set in the software.
Further, according to the online start management method of the batch job described in Patent Document 2, since the validity of the operation parameter can be confirmed before starting the batch job, the time loss caused when the operation parameter is incorrect is reduced. It is possible to reduce.
Furthermore, the program activation management system described in Patent Document 3 creates a program that constitutes a job for performing batch processing without having a relationship between the programs, and executes the batch processing without being aware of the execution order of the programs. It is possible to do.

Absent. In addition, this software environment definition design method does not enable efficient verification of the validity of the batch file itself in which the execution order of software execution units is defined.

In addition, according to the online start management system for batch jobs described in Patent Document 2, the validity of the operation parameters can be confirmed before starting the batch job, but a batch in which a combination of a series of tool groups is defined. It is not suitable for file verification, and cannot solve the above-mentioned problems associated with an increase in processing units.
Furthermore, the program activation management system described in Patent Document 3 is not intended for a case where there is a dependency in the execution order when there are a plurality of programs, and batches without regard to the execution order of the programs. The processing can be executed. Therefore, it is not suitable for verification of a batch file that defines a combination of a series of tool groups that have a dependency relationship on the execution order between programs.

The confirmation result information 41 is output by the required environment information / input file confirmation means 21 to confirm whether the environment and the input file that are essential for executing the tool group are prepared.
The output file information 42 defines the name of the output file generated by the tool group executing means 23 or the tool group empty executing means 24.

Next, a processing procedure in the batch processing verification apparatus of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in the batch processing verification apparatus of the present embodiment.
The batch processing verification apparatus executes the following processing for each tool group execution unit defined in the batch file to be processed.

First, the batch processing verification apparatus inputs the processing target name information 11 of the tool group execution unit (step 10), and inputs the processing name information 12 (step 11).
The processing target name information 11 and the processing name information 12 can be read from a batch file and stored in the input information storage unit 10.
Further, the processing target name information 11 and the processing name information 12 previously stored in the input information storage unit 10 based on the batch file are processed in the batch processing verification apparatus when the essential environment information / input file confirmation unit 21 performs the processing. It can also be read into memory.

Next, the required environment information / input file confirmation unit 21 of the batch processing verification apparatus executes a search process on the process name-essential environment information / input file correspondence table 31 using the process name information 12 as a key, and responds accordingly. The required environment information and the name of the required input file are extracted (step 12).
The essential environment information / input file confirmation means 21 converts the extracted essential environment information and the name of the essential input file using the processing target name information 11 (step 13), and uses the converted essential input file name as a key. The search process is executed for the input file information 14 (step 14).

When the name of the essential input file does not exist in the input file information 14 (Yes in Step 15), the essential environment information / input file confirmation means 21 outputs an input file incomplete error to the confirmation result information 41 (Step 16). ), The process is terminated.
If the name of the required input file exists in the input file information 14 (No in step 15), the required environment information / input file confirmation means 21 performs a search process on the environment information 15 using the converted required environment information as a key. Execute (step 17). Thereby, the validity of the essential environment setting in the execution environment is verified.

  If all or a part of the extracted essential environment information does not exist in the environment information 15, that is, if the essential setting in the execution environment is incomplete (Yes in step 18), the essential environment information / input file confirmation means 21 confirms An environment setting deficiency error is output to the result information 41 (step 19), and the process is terminated.

When all of the extracted essential environment information exists in the environment information 15, that is, when there is no defect in the essential setting in the execution environment (No in Step 18), the batch processing verification apparatus inputs the execution / empty execution information 13. (Step 20).
The execution / empty execution information 13 can also be read from the batch file and stored in the input information storage means 10.

In addition, the execution / empty execution information 13 stored in advance in the input information storage unit 10 based on the batch file is read into the memory in the batch processing verification device when the execution / empty execution switching unit 22 performs processing. You can also.
The execution / empty execution switching means 22 of the batch processing verification device checks whether the execution / empty execution information 13 is empty execution (step 21). If it is not empty execution (No in step 21), the batch processing verification device The tool group execution means 23 is executed.

At this time, the tool group executing means 23 executes a search process on the process name-input / output file / execution tool correspondence table 32 using the process name information 12 as a key, and the corresponding input file name, output file name, tool Are extracted (step 22). Then, the names of the input file and the output file are converted using the processing target name information 11 (step 23).
Then, the tool group execution unit 23 sets the converted input file as an input file of the tool group execution unit, sets the converted output file as an output file, and executes the execution tool group sequentially to generate an output file. (Step 24).

On the other hand, in the case of empty execution (Yes in step 21), the tool group empty execution means 24 of the batch processing verification device is executed.
At this time, the tool group empty execution means 24 performs a search process on the process name-input / output file / execution tool correspondence table 32 using the process name information 12 as a key, and extracts a corresponding output file name (step S31). 25). Then, the name of the output file is converted using the processing target name information 11 (step 26).
Then, the tool group empty execution means 24 generates the output file with the converted output file name as the output file of the tool group execution unit without executing the execution tool group (step 27). At this time, the input file is not used.
The batch processing verification apparatus sequentially executes the processes in steps S10 to S27 described above in the order of execution of the tool group execution units defined in the batch file.

It should be noted that the execution order of the confirmation process of the essential input file in steps 14 to 16 and the confirmation process of the essential environment information in steps 17 to 19 may be interchanged.
Further, in steps 22 and 23 and steps 25 and 26, extraction / conversion processing from the processing name-input / output file / execution tool correspondence table 32 is not performed, but as shown in FIG. Immediately after (Step 38), the extraction / conversion processing of Step 22 and Step 23 may be executed by the essential environment information / input file confirmation means 21 or the execution / empty execution switching means 22 (Step 38). To Step 42). The tool group execution unit 23 and the tool group empty execution unit 24 use the information extracted and converted before the empty execution determination process (step 43) in the same manner as the process described above with reference to FIG. Each process can also be executed (steps 44 and 45).

  Next, the processing procedure in the batch processing verification apparatus of this embodiment will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the process of actually executing a batch file by the tool group execution means in the batch process verification apparatus of this embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining processing for detecting a batch processing problem without actually executing the tool by the tool group empty execution means in the apparatus.

FIG. 4 shows an example of actually executing a batch file that uses these output files as input files of the C tool group execution unit after generating the output files by executing the tool group execution units of A and B in parallel. Show.
First, the batch processing verification apparatus inputs “A” as the processing target name information 11 and “synthesis” as the processing name information 12 for the tool group execution units of A and B (steps S10 and S11).

Next, the required environment information / input file confirmation unit 21 of the batch processing verification apparatus uses the process name-essential environment information / input file correspondence table 31 as the name of the required input file based on the process name information 12 as “process target”. “Name.v” and “processing object name.SCR” are extracted (step 12).
The essential environment information / input file confirmation unit 21 converts the names of these essential input files based on the processing target name 11 for the A and B tool group execution units, and for the A tool group execution unit, “ “A.v” and “A.SCR”, and “B.v” and “B.SCR” are acquired for the tool group execution unit of B (step 13), and these are present in the input file information 14. Whether or not (step 14).

  In the example of FIG. 4, since the names of the above-mentioned essential input files are present in the input file information 14 for both the A and B tool group execution units (No in step 15), the essential environment information / input file confirmation means 21 Next, the essential environment is checked in the same manner (step 17). In the example of FIG. 6, the essential name information does not exist in the processing name-essential environment information / input file correspondence table 31. For this reason, in step 12, the essential environment information is not extracted, and it is determined that the determination of incomplete environment setting is not incomplete (No in step 18). Alternatively, step 18 may be omitted and the process may proceed to step 20.

Next, in the example of FIG. 4, since execution is input and defined as the execution / empty execution information 13 (No in Step 20 and Step 21), the execution / empty execution switching means 22 of the batch processing verification apparatus is Then, the tool group execution means 23 of the batch processing verification apparatus is executed.
Based on the “combination” of the processing name information 12, the tool group execution means 23 uses “processing target name.v” and “processing target name.” As input file names from the processing name-input / output file / execution tool correspondence table 32. “SCR”, “processing object name.NET” as the output file name, and “synthesis tool” as the tool file name are extracted (step 22). When there are a plurality of files, each file name (file name group) is extracted, and a plurality of processes using these are executed.

Further, the tool group execution means 23 converts the input file name and the output file name for each tool group execution unit of A and B based on “A” and “B” of the respective processing target name information 11 (steps). 23).
As a result, “A.v” and “A.SCR” are used as the input file for the execution unit of the tool group of A, “A.NET” is used as the output file, “synthesis tool” is used as the tool, and the tool group of B is used. “B.v” and “B.SCR” are used as input files for execution units, “B.NET” is used as an output file, and “synthesis tool” is used as a tool.
Then, the tool group execution means 23 actually executes the tool group (synthetic tool), and outputs “A.NET” for the tool group execution unit of A and “B. B.NET "is generated (step 24).

Next, the batch processing verification apparatus executes the processing of step 10 to step 24 for the C tool group execution unit as in the case of the A and B tool group execution units.
At this time, the output file of the tool group execution unit of A and B is used as the input file of the C tool group execution unit.

In other words, in the example of FIG. 4, the required input file name of C is “subordinate target name.NET” obtained from the process name-essential environment information / input file correspondence table 31 based on the process name information 12 and the tool group of A Conversion is performed using “A.NET” obtained by conversion using “A” of the processing target name information 11 related to the execution unit and “B” of processing target name information 11 related to the B tool group execution unit. “B.NET” obtained in this way.
On the other hand, the input file information 14 of C is in an empty state at the initial point, but A.NET and B.NET are added by the processing of steps 10 to 24 for the tool group execution units of A and B. Is done.
Then, C.NET is generated as an output file as a result of the processing in steps 10 to 24 for the C tool group execution unit.
In this way, all the tools in the batch file can be executed.

  Next, a process for detecting a problem in a batch file and an execution environment without actually executing the tool will be described with reference to FIG. This figure shows an example of verifying a batch file or the like without actually executing the tool when processing the tool group execution unit of C after processing the tool group execution units of A and B in parallel. .

  First, for the A and B tool group execution units, the processing target name information 11 and the processing name information 12 are input, and the required input file name is extracted using the processing name-essential environment information / input file correspondence table 31. The operation (step 10 to step 14) until it is confirmed whether or not the extracted essential input file name exists in the input file information 14 is the same as in the case of FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 5, for the tool group execution unit of A, as in the case of FIG. 4, “A.v” and “A.SCR” of the essential input file exist in the input file information 14 and the essential environment. Since the information does not exist in the processing name-essential environment information / input file correspondence table 31, the process proceeds to Step 20 (No in Step 15 to No in Step 18).

  On the other hand, for the B tool group execution unit, only “B.SCR” of the required input files is present in the input file information 14 and “B.v” is not present in the input file information 14. The input file confirmation unit 21 outputs an input file deficiency error as a confirmation result (step 16), and ends the process for the B tool group execution unit. For this reason, no output file is created for the B tool group execution unit.

  Next, for the tool group execution unit of A, since the execution / empty execution information 13 of A is empty execution (Yes in step 21), the tool group empty execution means 24 uses the process name-based on the process name information 12. The output file name “target name.NET” is extracted from the input / output file / execution tool correspondence table 32 (step 25), and is converted based on “A” of the processing target name information 11 (step 26). “A.NET” is generated as an output file without executing (CHIP generation) (step 27).

Next, the processing of step 10 to step 27 is executed for the C tool group execution unit. At this time, in the input file information 14 of C, “A.NET” is added by the above-described processing with respect to the tool group execution unit of A and B from the state where there is nothing at the initial time point, and “B.NET”. Will not be added.
In the case of FIG. 5, the required input file of the C tool group execution unit is “A.NET”, “B” based on the process name-essential environment information / input file correspondence table 31 and the process name information 12 of A and B. .NET ”, the essential environment information / input file confirmation unit 21 outputs the confirmation result indicating that“ B.NET ”of the input file is insufficient, and ends the process.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to detect a problem in a batch file or an execution environment without executing a batch file tool group.

  In this embodiment, the batch file, the input file main body, the output file main body, and the tool main body can be stored in the batch processing verification apparatus or a storage device connected to the batch processing verification apparatus. The input file body and the tool body can be acquired and used based on the input file name and the tool name, respectively. Needless to say, the output file body is generated with the output file name.

As described above, according to the batch processing verification apparatus of the present embodiment, the processing conditions can be verified for all the program execution units in the batch file, and the batch file for executing a series of processing and the execution environment can be Can be verified without running. Further, the batch file and the execution environment used for verification can be actually used for executing a series of processes without changing by switching the execution mode.
For this reason, it is possible to perform verification with a short TAT rather than actually executing a program or preparing a test environment to check the validity of a batch file or an execution environment.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, synthesis and CHIP generation are used as the tool group, but other tool groups can of course be used.
In addition, the processing order of the tool group execution unit, for example, the output file of the tool group execution unit of D executed by using the output file of the tool group execution unit of A, B, and C as an input file, and the output of the tool group execution unit of E The tool group execution unit of F can be appropriately changed by using the file as an input file.

  The batch processing verification apparatus of the present invention can be suitably used as an apparatus for supporting the design of a large-scale LSI using a distributed environment having a plurality of computer resources.

Obtain the input file name by converting the input file name template using the processing target name, or the processing target name of the program execution unit previously executed by the program execution unit By using the input file name to convert the input file name template, the same input file name as the output file name generated by the previously executed program execution unit is obtained, and the processing target name is used. The output file name template is converted to obtain the output file name and obtained from the processing name-input / output file / executable program correspondence table. Program running, to generate the output file based on the input file corresponding to the name of the input file,
The program empty execution means obtains an output file name template corresponding to the process name from the process name-input / output file / executable program correspondence table, and uses the process target name to determine the name of the output file. A batch processing verification method characterized by converting a template, obtaining an output file name, and generating an output file corresponding to the output file name. A batch processing verification method for verifying whether input files necessary for executing a program execution unit defined in a batch file are prepared,
For each program execution unit, a process name, a process target name indicating the name of the program execution unit corresponding to the process, an input file name used in the process, and whether the program execution unit is actually executed Alternatively, execution / empty execution information indicating whether to perform empty execution processing is stored in the input information storage unit, and in the input information storage unit, all program executions subsequently executed following the program execution unit associated with the execution information Execution information is associated with a program execution unit, and empty execution information is associated with all program execution units that are subsequently executed following the program execution unit associated with empty execution information,
Process name, environment information necessary for program execution of the process, input file name template to store the process name-required environment information / input file correspondence table, process name, and program executed in the process A process name-input / output file / executable program correspondence table that stores a model of the name of the input file used in the process and a model of the name of the output file generated by executing the program executed in the process Store it in the correspondence table storage means,
The essential environment information / input file confirmation means inputs the process name and the process target name for each program execution unit from the input information storage means, and the process from the process name-essential environment information / input file correspondence table. Get the required environment information and input file name template corresponding to the name, convert the input file name template using the processing target name, and acquire the input file name, or execute first The input file name that is the same as the output file name generated by the previously executed program execution unit is converted by converting the input file name template using the processed name of the program execution unit that has been executed. The required environment information converted by using the acquired input file name and the processing target name is stored in the input information storage means. Whether at least one of the name of the input file or the essential environment information converted using the processing target name is stored in the input information storage means. If this happens, output an error and terminate the process.
When the required environment information converted by the execution / empty execution switching means using the input file name and the processing target name is stored in the input information storage means, the processing name-input / output file / execution Acquires the program executed in the process, the input file name model, and the output file name model corresponding to the process name from the program correspondence table, and uses the process target name to determine the name of the input file. By converting the template to obtain the name of the input file, or by converting the template of the name of the input file using the processing target name of the program execution unit previously executed by the program execution unit, While obtaining the name of the input file that is the same as the name of the output file generated by the previously executed program execution unit, and using the processing target name Execution / empty execution information corresponding to the required environment information converted using the input file name and the processing target name by converting the output file name template to obtain the output file name Is executed from the input information storage means, and when the execution / empty execution information indicates that the program execution unit is actually executed, the program execution unit generates the output file by executing the program execution unit. And executing the program empty execution means for generating an output file without executing the program execution unit when the execution / empty execution information indicates that the empty execution process is performed,
The program execution means is obtained by executing the program acquired from the processing name-input / output file / execution program correspondence table by the execution / empty execution switching means and converting by the execution / empty execution switching means. Generating the output file based on the input file corresponding to the name of the input file;
