Abstract

PURPOSE:To surely and automatically start the next job even after a system is restarted as long as a first job is executed in a series of operations which must be synchronous with each other by providing a system file writing means, a job execution result information reading means, an automatic starting job selection means. CONSTITUTION:The subject system is provided with a system file writing means 11 which writes the execution result of a first job 1 into a system file 10, a job execution result information reading means 14 which reads the execution result out of the file 10 after a system is restarted, and an automatic starting job selection means 15 which selects and starts the next job based on the read execution result. Thus it is possible to automate such a process where the system is restarted after the execution of the first job and the next job must be started with synchronization secured between both jobs without fail. Consequently, the load of an operator is reduced.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a job starting method.

[Conventional technology]

When a job is executed and the process is executed, there is a process that requires restarting the system after this process, synchronizing it, and starting the next job.0 For example, if a part of the load module After the job of rewriting, it is necessary to execute the job of changing the storage format of the load module in order to prevent the performance from deteriorating due to partial rewriting.

Conventionally, when performing such processing, the operator would start the first job, check the processing results of this job, restart the system, and then start the next necessary job. This is done according to the job processing results.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional job startup method described above, the operator performs the job startup operation 3 when the system is restarted, so the operator must be present until after the system is restarted, which increases the number of man-hours required for the operator's work. There is a drawback.

[Means to solve the problem]

The method of the present invention is a job starting method for a process in which the system must be restarted after execution of the first job and the next job must be started in synchronization. system file writing means for writing the execution result into a system file; job execution result information reading means for reading the execution result from the system file after restarting the system; and writing the next job based on the read execution result. choice·
The present invention is characterized in that it has an automatic start job selection means to start.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

There are n jobs 1, 2...n, and when job 1 is executed, the system is restarted and at least one job is selected from jobs 2 to n based on the execution result of job 1. shall be carried out.

FIG. 1 shows the execution processing procedure for job 1. The execution result of job 1 is written on the system file 10 by the system file writing means 11.

FIG. 2 shows the automatic starting procedure for a job that is required after job 1.

When restarting the system by the system startup means 12,
When the contents of the system file 10 are developed on the main memory 13, the job execution result information reading means 14 reads the job 1 written as shown in FIG.
The execution results are loaded.

Next, the automatic start job selection means 15 selects a job to be automatically started from jobs 2 to n based on this execution result, and the selected job is automatically started.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention enables a series of operations that must be synchronized, such as job execution, system restart, and execution of the first job, to be performed reliably even after the system is restarted, by performing the first job execution operation. It is possible to automatically start the execution of the next job at any time, and it is also possible to perform a number of operations accurately depending on the execution results of the first job.

Claims (1)

[Claims] After executing the first job, restart the system,
In a job starting method for processing in which the next job must be started in synchronization, a system file writing means for writing the execution result of the first job into a system file; job execution result information reading means for reading the execution result from a system file; and selecting and selecting the next job based on the read execution result.
1. A job starting method comprising: automatic starting job selection means to be started.
