Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a job validity period setting device for setting a validity period by storing information on the operation end date and the operation end date of a job to be automatically executed in a database.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional operation of jobs, job automatic operation is generally performed by setting an operation start date. Therefore, although it was possible to give an instruction for when to start the job to the automatically executed job (year, month, day, and day), it is necessary to give an instruction for when the job should be started. I couldn't.

Therefore, if there is a job to be excluded from activation targets at a certain point after the job has been operated for a certain period, the job must be deleted on the corresponding date. If you forget this task, the unnecessary job will be accidentally started forever.

Further, even when there is a job executed only on a specific day of a certain year, the job must be deleted after the job is executed. If you forget this work, the unnecessary job will be accidentally started in the next year.

[0005]

As described above, according to the conventional method, it is possible to specify when (from what year, what month, and day) to start the automatically executed job. However, it was not possible to specify how long the job should be started.

For this reason, after operating a job for a certain period, there is a job which is desired to be excluded from the target of activation at a certain point,
If you have a job you want to run only on a certain day,
You have to do the work of deleting the job after execution,
Business mistakes often occurred due to this deletion error.

[0007]

A job validity period setting apparatus according to the present invention includes an instruction statement analysis / control unit for instructing an operation start date and an operation end date of a job to be automatically executed and for allocating processing. An operation start date processing unit that sets a start date, an operation end date processing unit that sets an operation end date, and a validity check unit that checks the validity by comparing the operation start date and the operation end date, A record storage unit that stores information on the operation start date and the operation end date on a record of the operation information management database and a form output unit that outputs the information as a form.

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a job validity period setting device 30 according to the present invention decomposes an inputted directive sentence 10 into a directive sentence decomposition / control unit 31 for distributing the processing, and a decomposed directive sentence to analyze the operation start date. The operation start date processing unit 32 that performs processing, the operation end date processing unit 33 that analyzes the decomposed directives and performs the operation end date, and the given operation start date and operation end date are compared to each other. A legitimacy checking unit 34 for checking the legitimacy, a record storage unit 35 for storing given operation start date and operation end date information on the record of the operation information management database 11, and a job if there is a form output instruction. It is configured to include a form output unit 36 that outputs the management table 12.

The instruction sentence read processing unit 20 reads the above-mentioned instruction sentence 10. Further, the job schedule device 40 refers to the operation information management database 11, schedules the job, and outputs the schedule result to the schedule file 13. Further, the job activation device 50 refers to the schedule file 13 to activate the job.

In the valid period setting device 30, the instruction sentence disassembly / control unit 31 analyzes the content of the instruction sentence to identify the instruction of the operation start date and the instruction of the operation end date, and allocates to each processing. I do. The operation start date processing unit 32
Sets the operation start date and then transfers the process to the operation end date processing unit. Then, the operation end date processing unit 33 sets the operation end date and sets the effective period of the job.

The legitimacy checking unit 34 compares the given operation start date and operation end date with each other to determine whether there is a logical error. Further, the record storage unit 35 stores the above-mentioned checked information in the record item on the database. Furthermore, the form output unit 3
6 outputs the date of operation end date together with the operation start date.

FIG. 2 shows the above-mentioned job validity period setting device 3.
6 is a flowchart showing the operation of 0.

First, the input directive is read (10
0). At this time, the instruction text is given in the form of product date / operation start date and operation end date / in each of 6 digits. If the operation start date or operation end date is omitted, the instructions are given as product /, operation end date /, product date / operation start date /.

Next, the directive is decomposed (101), it is judged whether or not there is an error in the definition format (102), and if there is an error, error processing is performed (109). Note that step 10
If either instruction is omitted in 1, the control of default value processing is also performed.

Then, it is judged whether the parameter name (product date) is correct (103), and whether the given value of the operation start date is correct (104). Specifically, it is a 6-digit number (yymmdd) and it is the year (00 ≤ yy ≤ 99) month (01 ≤ mm ≤ 12) day (01
≦ dd ≦ 31)) is determined. If there is an error, the error is processed (109).

Further, it is judged whether or not the given value of the operation end date is correct (105, 106). 6-digit number (yymmdd) and it is the year (00≤yy≤99)
It is determined whether or not the value is applicable to the month (01 ≦ mm ≦ 12) day (01 ≦ dd ≦ 31). If there is an error, the error is processed (109).

Next, the sizes of the operation start date and the operation end date are compared to determine whether or not there is an error such that the operation end date is earlier than the operation start date (107, 108). If there is an error, the error is processed (109). Then, the values of the operation start date and the operation end date are stored in the operation information management database 11 (110).

Next, it is determined whether or not there is an instruction to output a form, and when there is an instruction, the job management table 12 is output (112, 113). When there is no instruction to output a form, the job schedule device 40 can be activated.

In the above, the error processing (109) outputs an error message when any of the processing has an error, and requests the input of the directive again.

As described above, the job valid period setting device of the present invention can set the valid period for operation to the job when the instruction of the operation end date and the instruction of the operation end date are given. Therefore, it is possible to easily handle a job that is desired to be operated for a certain period of time, and prevent a business malfunction due to a mistake in deleting the job.

At this time, the operation end date instruction can be added to the parameter that gives the operation start date instruction, instead of newly adding the parameter, so that the job operation can be performed without affecting the conventional operation method. You can set the validity period. In this case, the operation start date and the operation end date can be given at the same time, so that the dates can be easily compared and the definition error is small.

If the previously defined operation start date is changed and a new effective period is set, by changing the product date / operation start date and operation end date /
A new valid period can be set.

If it is not necessary to set a new operation end date and it is desired to continue the operation as before, it is not necessary to give any particular instruction, and the operation start date is valid as before. The job is considered indefinite and can continue to operate as before.

In addition, when it is desired to cancel the already defined operation start date and operation end date, change the product date /
You can cancel the instructions for both dates with /.
At this time, the operation start date has a default value of definition change, and the operation end date has a default value of indefinite.

Having an operation start date and an operation end date at the same time in one parameter is convenient in terms of definition and processing as described above, and the operation start date and the operation end date are simultaneously output side by side on the form output. By doing so, it is easy to be aware of the effective period of the job and convenient for operation.

[0027]

As described above, the job validity period setting device of the present invention gives an instruction for the operation end date as well as the operation end date to a job that is automatically executed, and the job validity period is set for the job. Can be set. Therefore, it is possible to easily handle a job that is desired to be operated only for a certain period of time and prevent a malfunction due to a mistake in deleting the job.
