BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing system for interactive processing, in which an end notification of a submitted background job is notified to a TSS utilization terminal without waiting for the input of an inquiry command. The automatic status notification method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the processing status of a background job (a low priority batch job) submitted from a TSS utilization terminal is transferred from a host computer by the input of an inquiry command from the TSS utilization terminal that requested the job. It was supposed to be displayed on the terminal using TSS. Therefore, in order to know the processing status of the background job, it is necessary to suspend work such as program development performed in parallel using the TSS utilizing terminal and input an inquiry command.

[0003]

As described above, since it is necessary to input an inquiry command to confirm the processing state of the background job, it is necessary to interrupt the work being performed by the TSS utilizing terminal for confirmation, Unnecessary work, such as inputting inquiry commands many times before the background job ends, and the greatest merit of the background job are to open the TSS terminal and execute the jobs in parallel. There was a drawback that it was not fully utilized.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic background job completion status notification system capable of promptly reporting to a user when a background job is completed without affecting the work being processed by the TSS utilization terminal. is there.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the background job end state automatic notification system of the present embodiment has a communication management unit 2 for managing communication with the TSS utilizing terminal 6 and a job management unit for managing execution of the job 5. 3 and TS that controls the interactive processing
In the computer system 1 including the S control unit 4, the TSS control unit 4 has a job management interface 7 that interfaces with the job management unit 3 and a completion notification request as shown in the lower part of FIG. Termination notification control means 8 for determining whether or not, interruption control means 9 for performing interruption transmission of the termination notification message, data temporary storage control means 10 for temporarily storing the processing command from the TSS using terminal 6 at the time of interruption, and communication management unit 2 and a communication management interface 11 which interfaces with the communication management interface 2.

The operation of each means will be described in detail below assuming that the above arrangement is made. Here, the background job submitted from the TSS using terminal 6 is "JOB".
1 ”, the inquiry command requesting the display of the job execution status (whether it is being executed, completed normally or abnormally) is" D ".
J ".

First, from the TSS using terminal 6, "JOB1"
Throw in. The “JOB1” input as in the conventional case is registered in the job management unit 3 and its execution is managed. TS
After receiving the job acceptance notification confirming that "JOB1" has been registered, the S usage terminal 6 uses the text editor to perform coding work in order to develop another program using the TSS usage terminal 6. I shall.

At this time, until the execution of the input "JOB1" is completed, the interactive processing by the TSS using terminal 6 is
Job management unit 3 via communication management unit 2 and TSS control unit 4
Between and.

When the execution of "JOB1" is completed, the job management unit 3 notifies the completion notification control means 8 of the completion, and the completion notification control means 8 internally stores and retains the completion status information of "JOB1". I'll do it.

After the execution of "JOB1" is completed, if a page break command (first processing command) of a text editor is input to the requesting TSS using terminal 6, the page break command is sent to the communication management section 2 and communication management. It is passed to the end notification control means 8 via the interface 11. Upon confirming that the end status information of "JOB1" exists, the end notification control means 8 passes a page break command to the data temporary storage control means 10 to temporarily store the page break command, and also causes the interrupt control means 9 to end the "JOB1". The state information is passed and the TSS utilization terminal 6 is passed through the communication management interface 11 and the communication management unit 2.
The end notification message of "JOB1" is displayed on. Note that once the end notification message is displayed, the end state information of the end notification control means 8 is deleted. Also, "JOB
If there is no 1 ”end state information, the passed page break command is passed through the job management interface 7 as is to the job management unit 3.

When the user transmits a processing command (second processing command) indicating confirmation by inputting a transmission key after confirming the end notification, the data temporary storage control means 1
The page break command of the text editor is passed from 0 to the job management section 3 through the job management interface 7, and after the page break processing by the management of the job management section 3, the result is passed through the communication management section 2 to the TSS using terminal. 6, the content of the text editor after the page break is displayed on the screen of the TSS utilizing terminal 6 and the work can be continued.

It should be noted that the "JOB" once the end notice is displayed
1 "is deleted from the control of the end notification control means 8 because the end state information is deleted, so that it is necessary to input the" DJ "command to redisplay the end state of" JOB1 ". The termination notification management by means 8 is effective only while the user who has submitted the background job continues to use the TSS utilization terminal 6, and
The background job terminated after the use of the SS utilization terminal 6 is terminated is not included in this termination notification management.
Therefore, in order to display the end status of the background job at the time of reuse after interruption of use, "D
It is necessary to input the J "command.

As described above, as long as the use of the TSS utilizing terminal is continued, the end notification can be automatically received, and the program development and test can be efficiently performed.

[0017]

As described above, according to the background job end state automatic notification system of the present invention, the TSS is used.
At the end of the background job submitted from the user terminal, an end notification message is automatically displayed on the TSS user terminal that requested it. Thereby, the program development work and the background job can be efficiently performed, and the troublesomeness of interrupting the work and inputting the inquiry command of the end state display request is released. There is also an effect that it is possible to prevent omission of confirmation after the job is executed.
