Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a job automatic execution scheduling, and more particularly to a job schedule management system for simulating a job schedule date by inputting job information / calendar information from a screen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional job schedule management system, as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 5, job information [schedule cycle (ex.
Every day, once a week, once a month, etc.), non-scheduled days / months, dates on which job operation starts, etc.), calendar information for system operation (working days / non-working days of the system that runs jobs) Calendar) is defined and registered by the operation information system 302 in the calendar information file 21 and the job information file 22. At that time, the form 303 of the calendar information and the job information is output. Since the calendar information file 21 and the job information file 22 created here are used to perform the simulation processing, it is essential to execute the operation information system 302.

Next, when a job to be simulated, a target year, etc. are instructed by the simulation instruction sentence 304, necessary information is read from the calendar information file 21 / job information file 22 in the file reading process 305, and the job schedule is executed in the simulation process 306. Simulate the day. The result of the simulation is output to the form 307 to check whether the job is scheduled on the intended day. As a result of confirmation, if the schedule date is different from the intended date, correct the calendar information / job information in the operation information system and perform the simulation process again. I was repeating this operation until it was scheduled on the intended day.

[0004]

In this conventional job schedule management system, the previously registered job information,
In order to simulate the schedule date of a job with calendar information, the job information and calendar information must be registered in advance by the operation information system. Then, the processes of simulation and correction of operation information must be repeatedly performed until the scheduled date is reached.

Further, in the conventional job schedule management system, when only a specific job is to be processed, the designation of the instruction sentence is complicated and cumbersome, the result cannot be confirmed immediately, and the form is a schedule date as shown in FIG. Since information and calendar information are output as separate forms, there is a problem that they must be matched during confirmation.

In view of the above points, the object of the present invention is to specify the job information / calendar information with parameters from the screen, and schedule date information and calendar information obtained by simulating the schedule date of the job are displayed on the same screen. It is to provide a job schedule management system having a function of displaying and a function of registering and modifying a job information file / calendar information file according to specified parameter information in cooperation with the operation information system.

[0007]

A job schedule management system of the present invention includes a parameter input section for inputting job information and calendar information from a screen, a processing designation section for selecting a simulation process or a file update process, and an input from the screen. A parameter analysis unit that analyzes the parameter values, a calendar information creation unit that creates a system operation calendar based on the input parameter values, a job name / job scheduling pattern, operation mode, job configuration, etc. A job information creation part that creates information, a schedule date determination date that determines the schedule date of the job from the calendar information and job information, and an output image editing part that edits to output information such as schedule date and calendar, and simulation The result is output to the screen.

[0008]

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 job schedule management system of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention is
A simulation processing unit 100 including a parameter input unit 11, a process selecting unit 12, a parameter analyzing unit 13, a calendar information creating unit 14, a job information creating unit 15, a schedule date determining unit 16, and an output image editing unit 17, and a calendar file updating unit 18. A file update processing unit 110 including a job file update unit, a result screen output unit 20, a calendar information file 21, and a job information file 22.

The parameter input unit 11 is a parameter input screen opened on the terminal device as shown in FIG. 2, and inputs or selects a value designated for each parameter. The value of each parameter specified or selected on this screen becomes information for performing the simulation process and the file update process.

The process designating section 12 indicates which process, which is a simulation process for simulating a job schedule date and a file update process for registering / updating a calendar information file / job information file, according to a process menu on the parameter input screen. Post-processing of parameter analysis is distributed by specifying.

The parameter analysis unit 13 checks the validity of the parameter value designated by the parameter input unit. If an error in parameter specification is detected here, the process specified by the process specifying unit is not performed, and an error message indicating the content of the error is output to the result output screen.

The simulation processing section 100 has a calendar information creating section 14, a job information creating section 15, a schedule date determining section 16 and an output image editing section 17. The calendar information creation unit 14 operates the system on the regular working days and irregular working days specified by the parameters.
Create calendar information that determines non-working days. The job information creation unit 15 creates job information according to the contents of job-related parameters (cycle for determining a schedule date, job non-execution date, job operation information, etc.). The schedule date determination unit 16 determines the schedule date of the job based on the calendar information and the job information. As shown in FIG. 3, the schedule date is determined as a schedule target by the schedule target date search 501 based on the schedule cycle of the job information (every day, a designated day of the week, once a month, a designated day of the nth week, etc.). Is searched, and in 502 it is determined from the calendar information whether the system is an operating day.
In step 3, it is determined whether or not the job can be executed, and the schedule date is determined. If it is NO in the determination of whether the system is the working day of 502 or in the determination of whether the job can be executed in 503, the schedule target day search 501 is performed again.
The process is repeated and the process is repeated until the schedule date is determined. The output image editing unit 17 performs a process of matching the schedule date of the job and the calendar information obtained by the process of determining the schedule date and editing the image to output the simulation result.

The result screen output section 20 outputs the edited simulation result to the result output screen shown in FIG.

The file update processing 110 has a calendar file update unit 18 and a job file update unit 19. The calendar file update unit 18 registers the calendar information created by the specified parameters in the calendar information file and corrects the already registered calendar information file. The job file update unit 19 registers the job information created by the specified parameters in the job information file and corrects the already registered job information file.

The calendar information file 21 is a file for storing calendar information for system operation.

The job information file 22 is a file for storing job information.

Both the calendar information file 21 and the job information file 22 are the same as the files used in the operation information system.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
First of all, when the job schedule management system is started, the parameter input screen is displayed. Then, specify the required calendar job and select the process you want to execute from the process menu. When the simulation process is selected, first, it is checked whether the parameter value specified by the analysis of the input parameters is correct, and if it is correct, the simulation process is executed.

The simulation process virtually confirms the job schedule date before registering the job in the file or confirming the schedule date of the job registered in the file before creating the schedule date information file by the job schedule date determining system. It is a function to decide.

As shown in FIG. 4, a simulation process 602 is performed according to the parameter value input by the parameter input 601.
To simulate a job schedule date. The result obtained by the simulation process is matched with the calendar information and the like, and is displayed as a result output 603 on the result output screen. Then, in the result confirmation 604, the scheduled date of the job is as intended, and if you want to save the job and calendar information at that time in a file, specify the file registration or change in the file update selection 605 to specify the file update 606. It is possible to register / change the calendar information file 21 and the job information file 22. The file update process is linked with the operation information system, and the input parameter is converted to call the file update process of the operation information system to automatically update the calendar information file 21 and the job information file 22.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, not only jobs and calendars registered in advance by the operation information system, but also jobs and calendars not registered in advance can be simulated by scheduling information by giving information on the schedule date. It can be used for confirmation before registering a calendar in a file. Further, since it is linked with the operation information system, the update processing such as registration / change of the job information / calendar information in the file can be automatically performed immediately after confirmation by the simulation.

Also, an existing job can be read from a file, and an unregistered job can be easily specified because only some parameter values are selected and parameter values are selected. Since the confirmation of the result is also processed interactively, it can be seen immediately after execution, and since the calendar information and schedule date are edited and displayed, the confirmation itself can be done easily.
