Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a message management system for realizing an efficient message processing system when constructing an information system in a financial institution.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an information system in a financial institution processes a message. Therefore, it is necessary to always be aware of message input processing in business processing. In other words, transaction scheduling in message processing must be performed (controlled) in business. As this type of message processing, for example, the technology described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-91054 is known.

[0003]

As described above, since the scheduling of transactions in message processing is controlled in the business, the distribution of messages and the processing form thereof are limited by the business processing program. As a result, it is necessary to modify the program when changing the distribution condition and the processing form, and there is a problem in that the maintainability and efficiency in operation deteriorate.

Further, the input order of the messages to be processed and the transaction scheduling in the message processing must be taken into consideration in the business processing program. However, if the business processing program is modified, its development period and maintainability are adversely affected. There is a problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide a message management system which does not deteriorate the maintainability and efficiency in operation.

[0006]

According to the present invention, an information online data system having a database control function and a data communication control function is used.
First means for controlling input processing of data to be processed by the information online data system to obtain input data;
The present invention relates to a second means for controlling storage of the input data in a message queue file, a third means for taking out the data stored in the message queue file and passing the data to a business processing program, and the information online data system. A message management system is provided which comprises a fourth means for generating system definition information and a fifth means for controlling the operation of the information online data system based on the system definition information.

[0007]

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described below with reference to examples.

Referring to FIG. 1, as shown in the figure, the accounting system host 11 and the information system host 12 are connected to each other by a shared disk device 13, and the accounting system host 11 is provided with a accounting system VIS 14. . Further, the information system host 12 is provided with the information system VIS 15.

The accounting system host 11 has an accounting system online. That is, the accounting system VIS 14 is an online system existing on the accounting system host 11. Accounting system V
A real-time AP (real-time application program) 16 is operating in the IS 14, and the real-time AP 16 edits a business electronic message addressed to the information system generated in the transaction of the accounting system and calls the message output control unit 17.
Then, the message output control unit 17 writes the business message addressed to the information system to the shared disk device 13.

The information system host 12 has an information system online. That is, the information system VIS 15 is an online system existing on the information system host 12. The operation control unit 18 operates based on the centralized system definition information and receives a command request from a system operator or a terminal user. Then, the operation control unit 18 displays and changes the system operating environment. Further, the operation control unit 18 collects a checkpoint log for the change of the operating state and restores the operating state based on the checkpoint log information upon restarting after the system failure. Further, the operation control unit 18 reads the system definition information file 20 prepared by the operation support control unit 19 as described later, and expands the system definition information in its own system.

The message input / output control unit 21 reads the business message addressed to the information system from the shared disk device 13 and writes this business message in the message queue file 23 which is the input source of the message processing control unit 22.

The message schedule control unit 24 regularly monitors the generation amount of the business electronic message addressed to the information system written in the message queue file 23 from the message input / output control unit 21. Then, based on this monitoring result, the message schedule control unit 24 sends the scheduling information to the message processing control unit 22. The message processing control unit 22 controls the message processing order and the execution multiplicity in order to maximize the throughput of the system according to the scheduling information, and controls the retry processing and the like for the business processing failure.

As described above, the message queue file 23 stores the business electronic message input from the shared disk device 13. Note that a business message newly generated in one business processing program may be registered in the message queue file 23 as an input information source of another business processing program.

Not only the unprocessed message data by the business processing program is stored in the message queue file, but also the processed message can be retained in the message queue file until the initialization of the message queue file is executed. In this case, this is specified by the system definition information. The processed message is used as a message journal of the information system, and also the message schedule control unit 2 in the event of a business database (business DB) 25 or file failure.
The message is reprocessed using the message reprocessing function of No. 4, and the file can be restored promptly.

The message processing control unit 22 starts a transaction upon the activation notification from the message schedule control unit 24 and ends the transaction. When the message schedule control unit 24 takes out the message from the message queue file 23, the message is taken out in accordance with the registration order of the message. If a business program ends abnormally,
When re-orbiting is performed, the message processing control unit 22 starts extraction from the next message in which the previous transaction was established.

When calling a business program,
The message acquired by the message processing control unit 22 is passed together with the message type, and the business process according to the message type is executed. By returning the execution result of the business processing program to the message processing control unit 22, it is possible to instruct the control relating to the commit control and the message scheduling. The business DB 25 stores processed messages processed by the business processing program.

The operation support control unit (batch) 19 translates the system operation environment defined by using the system definition language dedicated to this system, the execution environment of the business processing program, the structure of the message queue file, and the system definition information file. 20 is a batch type processing program to be registered in 20.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the input processing of messages processed in the information system and the scheduling of transactions in the message processing are performed by this system, the business processing program created by the user can be used. The user can concentrate on the original data processing without any particular awareness. As a result, it is possible not only to easily realize an efficient message processing system in constructing an information system in a financial institution, but also to minimize various troubles occurring in an online system.
