Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the delay of job execution and the abnormal end of a job and also eliminate a waste of man-hours by executing the job corresponding to the load state of a host computer. CONSTITUTION:The load state measurement part 1-2 of the host computer 10 measures the load state in the job execution of the computer 10 periodically. A control part 101 judges an overload when the numeral of the measured load state exceeds a threshold value and when there is a fed job at this time, the job is stored in a registered job saving area 1-3 and put in an execution waiting state. The registered job saving area 1-3 is retrieved to confirm whether or not there is the job expected to be executed, and when there is the job, the job is taken out and executed. The control part 1-1 retrieves the execution priority of the fed job or job expected to be executed, and performs a time setting process so that when the job has low priority, the job is executed in a light load time zone.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer job execution control system, and more particularly to a job execution automatic control system that periodically monitors the load condition during job execution and controls the execution of various jobs.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of job execution control method
Either the worker specifies the time when the job is thought to be free and issues a command to execute the job at that time, or checks the load status using commands, etc., and if the load is normal. , a job is submitted, and in the case of an overload, the job submission is postponed, and the job is submitted after waiting for the load to return to normal.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional job execution control method described above, the worker searches for the load status and determines whether or not to submit a job, and the job cannot be submitted due to overload. In some cases, the load status must be searched again after a certain period of time until the load returns to normal. , Even if the machine becomes overloaded during that time period due to a decrease in processing capacity, the job will continue to run, further deteriorating the processing capacity, and the job will not finish normally, so it will have to be restarted. The disadvantage is that the job must be executed, which increases wasted man-hours and reduces work efficiency.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic job execution control method that eliminates wasted man-hours and makes software development work more efficient by executing jobs according to the load status of a host computer for software development. There is a particular thing.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The automatic job execution control method of the present invention includes means for periodically measuring the load state of a host computer for software development during job execution;
means for storing this job in a registered job save area if there is a job submitted when the measured load status exceeds a prespecified threshold due to overload and the job processing speed becomes slow; If the load condition at the time of executing the job is normal, there is a means for extracting and executing the job waiting to be executed from the registered job save area, searching for the priority of the submitted job or job waiting to be executed, and relatively processing such as late at night. If there is a low-priority job that can be processed during a time when the load is light, the job is configured to set a time so that the job is executed during the time when the load is light.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a processing flowchart for measuring a load state, and FIG. 3 is a processing flowchart for searching job priority.

[0008] The load state measurement unit 1-2 periodically measures the load state during job execution and calculates the numerical value of the load state (
S1), the control unit 1-1 compares the numerical value with a predetermined threshold (S2). If the current load value exceeds the threshold as a result of comparison processing, it is determined that the processing capacity has decreased due to overload and the job processing speed has become slow, and the job is submitted from terminal 1-4. The presence or absence of a job is detected (S5). As a result of detection, if there is a job,
The control unit 1-1 registers the job in the job save area 1.
-3 and waits for execution (S6). Further, if the load value is less than or equal to the threshold value, the load state is determined to be normal, and the control unit 1-1 searches the registered job save area 1-3 to check whether there is a job waiting to be executed (S3). If there is an execution job, the control unit 1-1 takes out the job waiting to be executed from the registered job save area 1-3 and executes the job (S4). In addition, the control unit 1-1 periodically searches whether there is a job submitted from the terminal 1-4 or a job waiting to be executed in the registered job save area 1-3 (S7
). If there is an execution job, the control unit 1-1 searches for the execution priority of the job (S8), and determines whether the searched priority is such that the job is processed during a time when the processing load is relatively light, such as late at night. Check whether the job is a low priority job or not. As a result of the comparison, if the job is a low priority job, the control unit 1-1 sets a time to execute the job during a light load time (S10), thereby realizing an automatic job execution control method. .

[0009]

As explained above, the present invention measures the load status of jobs on a host computer for software development using a periodic program, and when it is overloaded, the submitted jobs are registered in the job save area. If the load is normal, you can retrieve the job waiting to be executed from the registered job save area and execute it, or check whether or not there is a submitted job or a job waiting to be executed that can be processed during a time when the load is light. If a job is found after searching, setting the job to a time when the load is light and executing it can reduce the processing power of the host computer, slowing down job execution, or causing the job to end abnormally. This eliminates wasted man-hours and has the effect of making software development work more efficient.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Claim 1: A means for periodically measuring the load status of a host computer for software development during job execution; If there is a job submitted when the speed becomes slow, there is a means for storing this job in the registered job save area, and if the load condition at the time of job execution is normal, retrieving the job waiting to be executed from the registered job save area. If there is a low-priority job that can be processed at a time when the processing load is relatively light, such as late at night, by searching for a method for execution and the priority of submitted jobs or jobs waiting to be executed. , means for setting a time so that the job is executed during a light load time.
