The submitted job is registered as the job 7m in the job management table 70 by the job receiving unit 2. Information such as user information 7m1 and group information 7m2 is stored in the job 7m. When the job receiving unit 2 receives the job 7m, the process is transferred to the job scheduling unit 10.

The job schedule section 10 processes a job execution schedule. First, the executable job selection unit 11 selects an executable job 7m, and the process is transferred to the user job number check unit 101.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the user job number check unit 101 in the job number control method of this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, first, the user information 7m
The user registration table 40 is searched for information equal to 1 (step 1011). User information 7m1
If the information equal to is in the user registration table 40 (step 1012), the user information part 61 of the user management file 60 is searched for the maximum executable job number 611m corresponding to the user information 7m1 (step 101).
3). Number of running jobs 41m in user registration table 40
Is less than the maximum executable job number 611 m (step 1014), it means that the job 7 m can be executed, and the process is moved to the group job number check unit 111.

Next, when there is the same information as the user information 7m1 in the user registration table 40 (step 101).
2), the maximum executable job number 61 corresponding to the user information 7m1 of the user information section 61 of the user management file 60
If 1 m is searched (step 1013) and the number of running jobs 41 m in the user registration table 40 is equal to or greater than the maximum number of executable jobs 611 m (step 1014), the maximum number of executable jobs of this user is exceeded, and 7 m
Means that the job cannot be executed.
The process moves to 1 and the process of selecting the next executable job is performed.

Further, it is searched whether or not the information equal to the user information 7m1 exists in the user registration table 40 (step 1011), and if there is no equal information (step 1).
012) means that there is no other running job of this user in the system, so the processing of the user job number checking unit 101 considers that the job can be executed, and processes it in the group job number checking unit 111. Transfer.

In the group information section 62 of 0, the maximum executable job number 621m corresponding to the group information 7m2 is searched (step 1113). When the number 51m of executing jobs of the group registration table 50 is smaller than the maximum number 621m of executable jobs (step 1114), it means that the job 7m can be executed, and therefore the process is moved to the user registration table update unit A102.

Next, when the same information as the group information 7m2 is found in the group registration table 50 (step 1
112), the maximum number of executable jobs 621m corresponding to the group information 7m2 is searched in the group information part 62 of the user management file 60 (step 1113), and the maximum number of executable jobs 51m of the group registration table 50 is the maximum executable job. When the number is 621 m or more (step 111
In 4), since it means that the maximum number of executable jobs in this group is exceeded and the job 7m cannot be executed, the process is moved to the execution job selection unit 11 and the next executable job is selected.

Further, it is searched whether or not the information equal to the group information 7m2 is present in the group registration table 50 (step 1111), and if there is no equal information (step 1112), the job of this group is in the system. In the processing of the group job number check unit 111, it is considered that the job can be executed, and the processing is moved to the user registration table update unit A102.

31). Next, 1 is subtracted from the number of running jobs 41m corresponding to the same user information 4m as the user information 7m1 (step 3032). At this time, the number of running jobs is 41
If m becomes 0 (step 3033), it means that there is no other job being executed by the same user. Therefore, the entry of the user information 4m and the number of jobs being executed 41m is deleted, and after the empty state ( (Step 3034), the process moves to the group registration table update unit B313. If the number of running jobs 41m is greater than 0 (step 30
In 33), it means that there is another running job of the same user information 41m, so the entry is not deleted.
The processing is transferred to the group registration table updating unit B313.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the group registration table updating unit B313 in the job number control system of this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7, the group registration table updating unit B313 first searches the group information stored in the group registration table 50 corresponding to the group information 7m2 of the job 7m (step 3131).
Next, 1 is subtracted from the number of running jobs 51m corresponding to the same group information 5m as the group information 7m2 (step 3132). If the number of running jobs 51m becomes 0 (step 3133), it means that there is no other running job of the same group information 7m2, so the entries of the group information 5m and the number of running jobs 51m are deleted. Then, after the empty state (step 3134), the processing of the job end unit 30 ends. When the number of running jobs 51m is larger than 0 (step 3133), it means that there is another running job of the same group information 7m2, and therefore the entry is not deleted, and the job end unit 30 performs the process. Finish.

When the job ending section 30 finishes the process, the job executing process ends.
