JPH05119979A - File use status control system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily investigate the cause of data mismatching recording information on the date, job name, job step name, user name, etc., regarding the update or generation of a file, and editing and outputting them, file by file. CONSTITUTION:When an area for a FILE1 is secured, the date, time, name of the job generating the file, step name, and user name, and further a securing mode when the area is secured and a normal/abnormal end mode are registered as information on the 'file use state' of the FILE1. When data are generated for the file, information regarding the file generation is added as the 'file use state' of the FILE1. Consequently, the respective pieces of information are outputted as a list by utility software at an optional point. Thus, the use state of the file are brought under history control in file units to facilitate the investigation of the cause if data mismatching is caused in the file.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a file usage status management system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in managing the usage of a file, only the information when the file was last updated or created is recorded, and the usage history of the file can only be traced from messages and performance evaluation information. There was no way to manage by file.

[0003]

Since this conventional method of managing the usage status of files does not have the function of history management on a file basis, if the data in the file is inconsistent, the cause is There was a problem that it was difficult to investigate.

[0004]

According to the file usage status management method of the present invention, when a job step that is updating or creating a file ends or abnormally ends, the date and time, the job name, and the job related to the updating or creating of the file. This is realized by recording information such as a step name, user name, normal termination or abnormal termination, and editing and outputting the information for each file.

[0005]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a file use status list.

When the area of FILE1 is secured in step 11, the date / time, the job name / step name / user name of the file creation, and the mode are reserved when the area is secured, and the status is normal or abnormal termination.
It is registered as information of "file usage status" of ILE1 (see FIG. 2).

When the data is created in the file in step 12, the file creation information is stored in the FIL.
It is added as "File usage status" of E1 (see FIG. 2).

These pieces of information can be output to a list as shown in FIG. 2 by a utility at any time.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the history of use of files is managed in units of files.
When the data in the file is inconsistent, the cause can be easily determined.
