Abstract

PURPOSE:To output the execution result of already terminated activity even during job execution by assigning system-out files to activity units constituting a job in the batch processing to individually store the execution result of each activity. CONSTITUTION:When an activity unit execution result output mode selecting command is discriminated by a command discriminated by a command discriminating means 2, a system-out file assigning mechanism 3 assignes system-output files 7a-7n to activity units. When an activity unit execution result output command is discriminated by the command discriminating means 2, an activity termination check and system-out output mechanism 5 checks whether the execution of a pertinent activity is terminated or not and outputs the execution result of this activity out of activities 6a-6n stored in corresponding system-out files at the time of termination. Thus, the execution result of the activity to which execution is terminated is outputted before the execution of the whole of the job is terminated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an activity unit execution result output mechanism in batch processing, and more particularly to a method for outputting job execution results in batch processing by an electronic computer.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of batch processing execution result output method, even if one job is composed of multiple activities, the execution results of one job are stored in one system as a temporary file secured by the operating system. The job execution results are stored in an out file, and when all activities of the job are completed, the job execution results stored in the sys out file are output to an output means such as a printer or a display device. Therefore, even if there is an activity that has already completed execution while the job is being executed, it is not possible to output the execution result.

Also, as a method of executing while checking the intermediate results of execution, there is a method of sequential execution by setting the execution order for multiple submitted jobs and making the execution of the next zip wait until the execution of the previous job is finished. was used (for example,
ACOS Operating System ACO3-6 Remote Processing Management Remote Batch Processing System Manual, P
, 8-9. (Refer to publication in 1981).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional batch processing execution result output method described above, job execution results are saved by associating one sysout file with one job. The disadvantage is that you cannot see the execution results in a job that consists of multiple activities, and even if the subsequent execution is unnecessary depending on the intermediate execution results of a job that consists of multiple activities, it wastes machine resources. be. In order to avoid such waste, it is possible to output the job execution results to a permanent file instead of to a temporary sysout file, but this requires individual support in the program itself. It has the disadvantage that it cannot be used.

In addition, if you set the execution order for multiple submitted jobs and execute them sequentially by waiting for the next job until the previous zip finishes, the input/output in the sysout file, which is a temporary file, will be It has the disadvantage that it cannot be transferred and requires file management using permanent files or magnetic tape.

In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to create execution results (sysout file output) of a job that is currently being executed for each activity, so that the execution results of activities that have already finished execution can be used to complete execution of the entire job. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an activity unit execution result output mechanism in batch processing that allows viewing without waiting.

[Means for solving problems]

The activity unit execution result output mechanism in batch processing of the present invention includes an activity unit execution result output mode selection command for selecting a mode for outputting execution results for each activity, and an activity unit execution for outputting execution results for each activity. a command identification means for identifying a result output command; a sysout file allocation mechanism for allocating a sysout file for each activity when the command identification means identifies the activity unit execution result output mode selection command; and a sysout file allocation mechanism for allocating a sysout file for each activity; When the activity unit execution result output command is identified by the means, the completion of execution of the corresponding activity is checked based on this activity unit execution result output command, and when the execution of this activity is completed, it is stored in the corresponding system out file. and an activity completion check/sysout output mechanism that outputs the execution result of the activity.

[Effect]

In the activity unit execution result output mechanism in batch processing of the present invention, the command identifying means includes an activity unit execution result output mode selection command for selecting a mode for outputting execution results for each activity, and a command for outputting execution results for each activity. When the activity unit execution result output mode selection command is identified by the command identification means, the mechanism allocates a sysout file for each activity, and performs activity completion check and sysout file allocation. When the output mechanism identifies an activity unit execution result output command by the command identification means, it checks whether the execution of the corresponding activity is completed based on this activity unit execution result output command, and when the execution of this activity is completed, the corresponding system Outputs the execution results of the activity stored in the outfile.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

　　.

The figure is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. The activity unit execution result output mechanism 1 in the batch processing of this embodiment is connected to a central processing unit 9 and an output means 8 consisting of a printer, a display device, etc., and is connected to an activity unit execution result output mode selection command, an activity unit execution A command identification means 2 that identifies various commands such as a result output command and a job execution result output command, and sysout files 72 to 7n are assigned to each of the activities 6a to 6n of G4Pro that are activated and input by the command identification means 2. System out file allocation is performed by a mechanism 3, an input means 4 consisting of a terminal etc. for inputting various commands such as an activity unit execution result output mode selection command, an activity unit execution result output command, a job execution result output command, etc., and a command identification means 2. The end of execution of the relevant activity and job is checked by referring to the job identification information and activity identification information that were started by the activity unit execution result output command and the job execution result output command, and the execution of the activity and job is completed. Activity execution results stored in the corresponding sysout file and sysout file 7a
All activities 6a-6n stored in ~7n
The activity end check/sysout output mechanism 5 outputs the execution result (execution result of zip 6), the zip 6 consists of a plurality of activities 6a to 6n, and the sysout file is allocated by the mechanism 3 to the activities 63 to 6n of zip 6. It consists of sysout files 7a to 7n allocated to each unit.

Next, the operation of the activity unit execution result output mechanism in the batch processing of this embodiment configured as described above will be described.

In batch processing, activities 6a--
When an activity unit execution result output mode setting command for setting the process to a mode in which execution results are output in units of 6n is specified, this activity unit execution result output mode setting command is sent to the command identification unit via the central processing unit 9. 2 identifies and sysout file allocation activates mechanism 3.

The sysout file allocation mechanism 3 allocates separate sysout files 7a to 7n to each of the activities 6a to 6n constituting the submitted job 6 in association with each other. Note that the assignment of sysout files 7a to 7n to activities 68 to 6n is based on activity 6.
It may be made to carry out individually with execution of a-6n.

As the execution of the submitted job 6 progresses, the execution results of the activities 6a to 6n are sequentially stored in the corresponding system out files 7a to 7n, respectively.

During the execution of ZIP 6 or after the completion of the execution of ZIP 6, an activity unit execution result output command is input from the input means 4 to output the execution result of a specific activity of ZIP 6 (hereinafter, this activity will be referred to as activity 6a). Then, the command identifying means 2 identifies this activity unit execution result output command via the central processing unit 9, and activates the activity completion check/sysout output mechanism 5.

The activity completion check/sysout output mechanism 5 checks whether the execution of the activity 6a to which the execution result specified by the job identification information and activity identification information input in conjunction with the activity unit execution result output command is to be output has finished. Check whether or not
If it has ended, the corresponding system out file 7a
The execution result of the activity 6a stored in is outputted to the output means 8. If the execution of the activity 6a is not completed, the execution result of the activity 6a stored in the corresponding system out file 7a is outputted to the output means 8 after waiting for the completion of the execution.

The operating system (not shown) continues until execution of all activities 6a to 6n of job 6, that is, execution of the entire JimePro, is completed and a job execution result output command with job identification information is input from input means 4. saves all sysout files 7a to 7n.

When a job execution result output command for job 6 is input from the input means 4 during the execution of JiriPro or after the completion of execution of job 6, this job execution result output command is identified by the command identification means 2 and the activity completion check/sysout is performed. The output mechanism 5 is activated.

The activity completion check/sysout output mechanism 5 determines that all activities 6a to 6n of the zip 6 whose execution results are to be output specified by the job identification information input in conjunction with the zip execution result output command have finished execution. If the execution of all activities 6a to 6n of job 6 has been completed, all activities stored in system out files 7a to 7n are The execution results of the activities 6a to 6n are outputted to the output means 8 as the execution results of the entire job 6. After outputting the execution results of the entire zip 6, the sysout files 73 to 7n allocated to each of the activities 6a to 6n are released.

Note that the sysout files 7a to 7n are also released when job 6 is deleted.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention allocates a sysout file to each activity that constitutes a job in batch processing and stores the execution results of each activity individually (thereby, even when the job is being executed) It is possible to output the execution results for activities that have already finished, which has the effect of determining the success or failure of the execution results during rezip execution, preventing the continuation of wasteful jobs, and making effective use of machine resources. be.
