JPH04338818A - Operating job control system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the working time and to decrease the manual tasks to decrease the input mistakes in a system which operates plural tasks by using a control file. CONSTITUTION:When a job A is started, each type of information is written into the corresponding job record of a control file 1. Then the subsequent processing is carried out and the file 1 is read in the final step of the job A. The end state of the job A is written into a status and then written again into the file 1. Then the jobs B and C belonging to the same work ere started and have the accesses to the file 1 in each first step to decide whether each due processing is practicable or not. In the job B, for example, the subsequent processing is carried out since the job A is normally completed. In the job C, a message showing a fact that a program of priority '1' is not finished yet is shown end the processing is completed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to operational job management.
Especially regarding systems where data is shared among multiple operations.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, operational management of multiple tasks has been carried out by manually checking the operational status of each task and then starting the next job.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional operation management method described above requires manual intervention every time one job is executed. Furthermore, since the order of execution of tasks is managed using documents, there is a drawback that there is a high probability that the same job will be started or data inconsistency will occur due to precedence of subsequent processing.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The operational job management method of the present invention is provided with a management file that records the operational status of each business job when performing an operation while sharing data between multiple business jobs, and When starting a business job, the management file is referred to to determine whether or not the business job can be started.

Further, in the operational job management system of the present invention, the management file stores operational data including the processing date, processing start time, processing end time, end status, and priority of the business job.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, when job A is started, each piece of information is written in the record of the corresponding job in management file 1 (the record format is shown in FIG. 2). Next, the subsequent processing is performed, and in the final step of job A, the management file is read again, the end status of job A is written in the status, and the end status of job A is written back to the management file.

Next, job B in the same business and job C in a different business are started. The first step of each job is to access the management file and check whether the process can be executed. In the case of job B, since job A has ended normally, subsequent processing is performed. In the case of job C, since the program with priority "1" (job B in this case) has not finished yet, a message to that effect is displayed and the process ends.

[0009]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention prevents input errors by reducing work time and reducing manual work in a system that operates multiple tasks by using a management file. It has an effect.
