Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out a specific job without affecting other work jobs by setting an execution form to a job control language and carrying out the job that designated a specific executing system only when the jobs of other executing systems are not available. CONSTITUTION:A job setting process 1 includes an executing system setting means 11 to set a job executing system to a job control language and sorts the jobs for each executing system to store these sorted jobs into a memory 3. In a job executing process 2, the sorted and stored jobs are read out and it is decided whether the job to be executed by a selection means 24 adopts an executing system except a specific executing system (a) or not. If not, the job of the executing system (a) that is previously interrupted by an interruption means 22 is restarted by a restart means 23. Thus, it is possible to carry out a specific job without affecting the executing time of other jobs.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a job management method for managing execution of a plurality of jobs in an information processing apparatus.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of job management system, processing is performed according to the priority order determined by the job, and generally, the next job is selected after the allocated resource has been occupied.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-described conventional job execution method, input jobs are executed in priority order, and therefore a particular job cannot be executed without affecting the execution time of other jobs.

[Means to solve the problem]

The job management method of the present invention includes an identification means for identifying the execution state of the job, an execution method setting means for setting the job execution method in the job control language, and an execution method for the execution of the job in the job execution process of the information processing device. It has an interrupting means for interrupting a job, a restarting means for restarting a job being executed, and a selection means for selecting a job to be executed according to an execution method, and the execution method setting means is configured to set the job control language of a specific job to be executed. If the job selected by the selection means is a job set to the specific execution method, only when there is no other job to be executed other than the job set to the specific execution method. When a job is input during execution of a job of the specific execution method, the execution of the job of the specific execution method is temporarily interrupted by the interrupting means, and the job to be executed again is executed using the specific execution method. The restarting means executes the interrupted job when there is no other job than the set job.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment for realizing the present invention.
It is composed of a job setting process 1, a job execution process 2, a storage device 3, and a central processing unit 4.

The job setting process 1 includes an execution method setting means 11 for setting a job execution method in a job control language, and stores jobs in the storage device 3 for each execution method. The job execution process 2 includes a means 21 for identifying the execution state of a job, a means 22 for suspending a job in execution, a means 23 for resuming a job whose execution is suspended, and a selection means 24 for selecting a job to be executed according to an execution method. have.

2(a) and 2(b) are flowcharts of processing in the configuration of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2(c) is a format diagram of job storage in the storage device 3. The operation shown in FIG. 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2(a) to 2(C). First, the execution method setting means 11 sets execution method a for job 1, for example (step 201). Next, the jobs are classified according to the execution method and stored in the storage device 3 as shown in FIG. It is determined whether there is a job to be executed using an execution method other than a (step 203). If there is a job to be executed in a mode other than the execution mode, the identification means 21 determines whether or not a job of execution mode a is being executed (step 204), and if this job is being executed, the interrupting means 22 causes Interrupt the job (step 2)
05>, the job read in job execution and selected in step 203 is executed (step 206). Step 2
If there is no job to be executed in 03 other than execution method a,
It is determined whether there is any job that has been previously interrupted in step 205 (step 207), and if there is, this job is restarted by the restarting means 23 (step 208).
. Further, if there is no job that has been interrupted in step 207, the job of execution format a is executed (step 209).

In this way, the job of execution format a is executed only when there is no other job input.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention sets an execution format in the job control language, and executes a job specifying a specific execution method only when there are no jobs with other execution methods. The advantage is that this particular job can be executed when the system is idle, such as at night, without causing any impact.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In the process of executing a job of the information processing device, an identification means for identifying the execution state of the job, an execution method setting means for setting a job execution method in a job control language, and an interruption means for interrupting the job being executed; The apparatus has a restarting means for restarting a job being executed, and a selection means for selecting a job to be executed according to an execution method, and the execution method setting means sets a specific execution method in the job control language of a specific job to be executed. , if the job selected by the selection means is a job set to the specific execution method, the job is executed only when there is no other job to be executed other than the job set to the specific execution method; When a job is input during the execution of a job, the execution of the job of the specific execution method is temporarily suspended by the interrupting means, and when there is no job to be executed again other than the job set to the specific execution method. The job management method is characterized in that the restarting means executes the interrupted job.
