[0005]

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

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

The job monitoring apparatus of the present invention comprises an input unit 1, an input unit 2, a storage unit 4, a storage unit 5, a processing unit 6, and a processing unit 7 which are directly / indirectly connected to an input / output unit 8.
It is configured to include and.

The input / output device 8 displays a request input for confirming whether a delayed job exists, an output for displaying a response to the request, and a notification of the delayed job when there is only a command input. It is used for output, etc. and is configured on the console etc.

The input means 1 outputs information such as the latest end time, reserve time, preceding job name, succeeding job name, etc. for each job name in the job chain as shown in FIGS. Input to the storage device 4 as initial registration. In the examples of FIGS. 2 and 3, JOB-
If 3 is not completed, JOBC-2, JOBC of the job
-3 cannot be started, and JOBD-1 cannot be started unless both JOBO-2 and JOBO-3 are completed. If JOBD-1 must end by 13:00 at the latest (latest end time), the time from JOBD-1 start to end (reserve time) is 5
It's 0 minutes, so you have to start at least 12:10. To do this, JOBC-2, JOBC-3
The information of each job is registered such that the job needs to be completed by 12:00.

The input means 2 has a table for temporarily storing the time when the job actually started and ended and the job name in the start JCL of each job in the job chain, and stored in the table. Information storage device 4
To enter. The storage device 4 stores and manages the information input from the input unit 1 or the input unit 2. Further, the processing means 6
Will also be input. The storage device 4 is composed of a magnetic disk device or the like. The storage device 5 becomes a calendar file in which information such as working days of jobs in a job chain is registered. Like the storage device 4, this is also composed of a magnetic disk or the like.

The processing means 6 receives an input (request) from the input / output device 1 and, based on the received time, the storage device 1 and the storage device 2.
Is analyzed and output to the input / output device 8. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the processing means 6. Input / output device 8
When the input is received from, the date of the latest end time is determined according to the logic of the range determination reference of FIG. 5 from the time of the input and the latest end time 32 input to the storage device 4 by the input means 2 (step 41). Twelve hours before and after the latest end date and time is set as one day (current day) of the job, and a start date and time 12 hours before the latest end date and time is obtained (step 42). The storage device is searched to determine whether the latest end date and time is a working day (step 43). If it is an operating day (step 44), the process is transferred, and if it is not an operating day (step 47), it is displayed on the input / output device 1 that no job is delayed.

Next, the latest end date and time and the inquiry date and time are compared (step 44). If the inquiry is made before the latest end date and time (step 47), the process is transferred. If the inquiry is made after the latest end date and time, the process is moved to step 45. In the process of step 45, the storage device 4 stores whether or not the job is completed within the range for the current day by the input unit 2.
Ask from. If the job is not completed, information about the delayed job is displayed on the input / output device 8. If the job is completed, it is displayed on the input / output device 8 that no job is delayed.

The processing means 7 is processing for activating the processing means 6 at regular intervals. A flowchart is shown in FIG. The monitoring time is set every 30 minutes in advance and every 1 hour (step 61). Next, the processing means 6 is executed (step 62). After that, the current time and the monitoring time determined in step 61 are combined to set the next start time and start (step 63). The processing means 7 corresponds to a schedule job, a hold job, or the like.

An example will now be described using JOBB-1 shown in FIGS. 7 and 3 for cases in which a delayed job occurs and cases in which a delayed job does not occur.

Here, a case where the job is delayed will be described. First, assuming that the inquiry time is 10:05 on December 13, 1991, the job information 71 of FIG. 7 stores the latest end time of 10200. It can be seen that the end date and time is 10:00 on 12th, 13th, 1991 (step 41 in FIG. 4). Next, 12 hours before and after the latest ending date and time (December 1, 1991)
(Step 2 from 12:00 to 10:00 on December 14, 1991) Step 41 for determining the range for the current day. The storage device 2 determines whether the latest end date and time is a working day. Assumed to be a working day (step 4
3) Then, according to 72 in FIG. 7, the date and time when JOBB-1 actually ends is that at the time of inquiring at 10:10 on December 13, 1991, 72 in FIG. 7 stores the ending date and time for the previous day. As a result, it is found that the current day is not yet finished (step 45). As a result, JOB-1 displays information such as 71 in FIG. 7 on the input / output device 8 as a delayed job (step 46).

If there is no delay, even if the inquiry time is after the latest end date and time, as shown by 73 in FIG.
If the end date and time for the current day of B-1 is stored in the storage device 4, it is not delayed, and the input / output device 8 displays that there is no delayed job.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, the first input means for inputting the number of pieces of information required to end a job at a predetermined time and the second input for inputting the information about the end of operation of the job. Means, a first storage device that stores and manages these two inputs, a second storage device that stores whether or not a job operates on a predetermined day, and an input / output device that issues a monitoring request First to judge a delayed job after receiving a request
And the second processing means, it is possible to detect a delayed job early and deal with it early. Therefore, the degree of job monitoring experience and a large number of personnel (operators) are not required, and the maintenance man-hour is reduced and the job is delayed. In this case, the recovery man-hours can be reduced. Further, there is an effect that the strengths and weaknesses of the job chain (schedule) can be determined, and the job chain (schedule) can be established with the minimum man-hours.
