Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten a connection processing time by inhibiting the start of a job in the connection processing because the job has been already started at the time of generating a connection request from a terminal. CONSTITUTION:Immediately before starting service, a job starting part 4 starts one of jobs corresponding to a terminal and applys a job identifier(ID) to the job. Then, an address is obtained from an idle area address 21 in a job control table 5, the job ID is stored in the address and a time sharing service is started. After ending the start of the job, control is transferred to a job control part 6 and a stop state is held until a connection request is generated. When the connection request is informed from a connection request to an input control part 2, the control part 2 informs the request to a connection start processing part 3, the start part 4 and the control part 6. The processing part 3 sets up the terminal ID in the address obtained from the address 21, allows the terminal to correspond to the job and the already started job is allocated to the terminal receiving the connection request. Further, one is added in the blank area.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a job starting method in a computer time sharing system, and particularly to a job starting method corresponding to a terminal.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in a job starting method in this type of time sharing system, a job is started after a connection request is generated from a terminal.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The job starting method in the conventional time sharing system described above has a drawback in that it takes time to connect because the job is started during the connection process.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the job starting method in the time sharing system of the present invention, a connection start request from a terminal is processed, and a job corresponding to the terminal is started and executed. In a job starting method of a time sharing system in which jobs to be connected are managed, the time required for connection processing is shortened by starting the job before a connection request from the terminal is notified.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a job starting method in a time sharing system according to the present invention.

The terminal 1 is a command input device for a time sharing system user, the input/output control unit 2 controls input/output with the terminal, and the connection initiation processing unit 3 is a terminal that has already been activated by a terminal that has made a connection request. The job starting unit 4 starts the job corresponding to the terminal. The terminal-compatible job 7 is a job for a time sharing user, and is controlled by the job control unit 6. The terminal job management table 5 is a table that associates terminals with jobs.

FIG. 2 shows a terminal job management team consisting of a free area address 21, a terminal identifier storage area 22, and a job identifier storage area 23.

Next, the operation of the job starting method according to this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

- Immediately before starting the time sharing service, the job starting unit 4 starts one job corresponding to the terminal and assigns a job identifier. Next, an address is obtained from the free area address 21 of the job management table 5, a job identifier is stored, and the time sharing service is started.

(2) Once the job has been started, control passes to the job control unit 6, which controls the execution of the terminal-compatible job, and remains in a stopped state until a connection request is issued.

(2) When the input/output control section 2 is notified of a connection request from the terminal 1, the input/output control section 2 notifies the connection initiation processing section 3, job starting section 4, and job control section 6 that the connection request has occurred.

■ The connection start processing unit 3 sets the terminal identifier assigned to the terminal to the address obtained from the free address 21 of the terminal job management table, associates the terminal with the job, and connects the already started job. Allocate to the requested terminal. Furthermore, 1 is added to the free area address.

■ The job starting unit 4 receives the notification from the input/output control unit, and
A new job is started in preparation for the next connection request, and the job identifier is stored in the free area address of the terminal job management table 5.

(2) The job control unit 6 receives the notification from the input/output control unit 2 and resumes operation.

By repeating the above processes ① to ②, job activation is always performed before a connection request from a terminal, so that job activation time is no longer included in connection processing.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, when a connection request is made from a terminal, since the job has already been started, the job is not started during the connection process, which reduces the time required for the connection process. It has the advantage of being shortened.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a job startup method of a time sharing system in which a connection start request from a terminal is processed, a job corresponding to the terminal is started and executed, and the job corresponding to the terminal is managed, the connection request from the terminal is processed. A job startup method in a time sharing system that is characterized by starting a job before a notification is received, thereby reducing the time required for connection processing.
