Description

  The present invention relates to a job operation state evaluation system, a job operation state evaluation method, and a job operation state evaluation program for evaluating operation states of a large number of jobs.

Conventionally, batch processing is sometimes performed in order to efficiently process a lot of data-related jobs. A processing management apparatus for increasing the processing capacity of such batch processing has also been studied (for example, see Patent Document 1). The technique described in this document includes a job group that performs batch processing, a job monitoring device that gives priority to the job, and monitors the execution process of the job, and a scheduling device that schedules the job group. The job scheduling apparatus increases the priority of index rebuilding, and executes jobs in the order of index rebuilding and database backup. Back up the database after rebuilding the index.

  Incidentally, there are cases where it is necessary to finish the batch processing by a predetermined end time, such as when a file created by batch processing is used for business. In this case, if there are many jobs included in the batch process, the waiting time of the job is reduced if the resources are increased, so that it can be expected to shorten the processing time of the batch process. However, increasing the resource causes an increase in cost, and even if the resource is increased, the end time of batch processing may not be shortened. In this case, using an optimal number of resources, it is efficient to perform job tuning or application modification that affects the batch processing end time. However, it is not easy to specify a job that affects the optimal number of resources or the end time of batch processing.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to calculate a necessary number of effective simultaneous job executions and evaluate a job operating status in order to finish batch processing at a desired time.

(Function)
According to the present invention, the control computer executes the simulation using the number of concurrent job executions used for the simulation and the log data acquired from the log data storage unit. When the simulation result is later than the target final processing end time, the control computer specifies a job that affects the target final processing end time of the job based on the job end time and the target final processing end time of the simulation result. Specify whether there is a job execution waiting time from the queue registration time and the job start time. If there is a job execution waiting time, the control computer changes the number of concurrent job executions until the final processing end time is before the target final processing end time or until the job execution waiting time for the specified job is exhausted. The simulation by the simulation execution means is repeatedly executed to execute processing for calculating the necessary number of simultaneous job executions. For this reason, if the control computer can approach the target final processing end time due to fluctuations in the number of concurrent job executions, the control computer can change the number of concurrent job executions and perform a simulation again to change the number of concurrent job executions. If the target final processing end time cannot be approached, no simulation is performed. For this reason, since the efficient number of simultaneous job executions can be obtained in order to set the target final processing end time, it is possible to evaluate the efficient job operation status. Therefore, batch processing can be executed efficiently by using resources corresponding to the number of concurrent job executions.

  According to the present invention, the job execution waiting time specifying unit acquires the queue registration time and the start time of the preceding job of the job that affects the final process end time from the log data storage unit. The job execution standby time specifying unit determines that there is a job execution standby time when the start time of at least one of the specified job and the preceding job is later than the queue registration time. The job execution standby time specifying unit determines that there is no job execution standby time when all the acquired start times are the same as the queue registration time. For this reason, the control computer does not determine whether or not there is a job execution waiting time based only on the job queue registration time and start time that affect the final processing end time, but does not determine the queue registration time in the preceding job associated with this job. Whether or not there is a job execution waiting time can also be determined from the start time. Therefore, it is possible to more appropriately determine whether or not the target final processing end time can be approached due to a change in the number of simultaneous job executions.

  According to the present invention, the control computer acquires log data or simulation result data recorded in the log data storage means as visualization data. The control computer has expansion means for generating job operation status display data for displaying the queue registration time, job start time, and end time of each acquired visualization data in a time series graph in the order of the queue registration time. In addition. For this reason, the queue registration time, job start time and end time are displayed in a time-series graph, so that the queue waiting time from the queue registration time to the start time and the processing from the start time to the end time in each job are displayed. Time can be easily grasped in chronological order in the order in which jobs were performed.

  According to the present invention, in order to finish batch processing at a desired time, it is possible to evaluate the job operating status by calculating the required number of simultaneous simultaneous job executions.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the job execution status is evaluated using the job execution result actually executed in the job execution server 10 that executes the job.

  The job execution server 10 executes, for example, batch processing that collectively processes data input during the day at night. The job execution server 10 includes a job management computer 11 that manages job execution. The job management computer 11 is connected to a plurality of job processing computers (not shown) that execute jobs, and performs job allocation while monitoring the status of each job processing computer. In this embodiment, each job processing computer connected to the job execution server 10 executes one job.

Further, the job management computer 11 is connected to a definition information data storage unit 12 and a log file data storage unit 13 as job definition storage means.
The definition information data storage unit 12 records job execution definition data related to definitions for controlling the start of job execution. This job execution definition data is preset and registered before the job is executed. This job execution definition data includes data relating to the job name and execution definition of each job.

In the job name data area, data relating to the name assigned to the job for specifying the job is recorded. In the present embodiment, this job name functions as a job identifier.
Condition data necessary for executing this job is recorded in the execution definition data area. For example, when the results of jobs A, B, and C are required to execute job D, data for specifying these jobs A, B, and C is recorded.

  On the other hand, the log file data storage unit 13 records data relating to a log of a job actually executed. This log file data is recorded when job processing ends. The log file data includes data relating to job name, status, queue registration date / time, start date / time, and end date / time.

Data relating to the name of the job is recorded in the job name data area.
In the status data area, data relating to the status when this job is executed is recorded. For example, when the job ends normally, data indicating “normal end” is recorded.

In the queue registration date / time data area, data related to the date and time when the job process can be executed is recorded.
In the start date and time data area, data related to the date and time when the job processing is actually executed is recorded.

In the end date and time data area, data related to the date and time when the processing of this job is completed is recorded.
Further, the job execution server 10 is connected to the job operation status evaluation server 20. The job operation status evaluation server 20 evaluates the job operation status in cooperation with a client terminal 30 described later. Therefore, in this embodiment, the job operation status evaluation system is configured by the job operation status evaluation server 20 and the client terminal 30.

The job operation status evaluation server 20 includes an evaluation computer 21 that constitutes a control computer. This evaluation computer 21 has a CPU, RAM, ROM, etc. (not shown), and will be described later (a data accumulation stage, a condition value acquisition stage, a simulation execution stage, a job execution waiting time specifying stage, a simulation stage including a calculation stage, etc. (Including processing). Then, by executing the job operation status evaluation program for this purpose, the evaluation computer 21 can serve as a data storage means, a condition value acquisition means, a simulation execution means, a job execution waiting time specifying means, a simulation means including a calculation means, and the like. Function.

  Furthermore, the evaluation computer 21 includes a simultaneous execution number data storage unit. In the concurrent execution number data storage unit, data on the number of job processing computers managed by the job execution server 10 and data on an accurate concurrent job execution number (necessary concurrent job execution number) calculated from a simulation result to be described later are stored. To be recorded.

  The evaluation computer 21 is connected to a job operation status data storage unit 22 as log data storage means. As shown in FIG. 2, job operation status data 220 is recorded in the job operation status data storage unit 22. The job operation status data 220 is acquired from the log file data storage unit 13 and recorded when a job in the job execution server 10 is completed. The job operation status data 220 includes data on the job name, queue registration date / time, start date / time, and end date / time.

  Furthermore, the evaluation computer 21 includes a simulation result data storage unit (not shown). The simulation result data storage unit records data relating to a simulation result to be described later. The simulation result data includes data related to the job name and data related to the queue registration date / time, start date / time, and end date / time obtained by the simulation.

  The client terminal 30 connected to the job operation status evaluation server 20 has a control unit including a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like (not shown). This control unit constitutes a control computer together with the evaluation computer 21. In this embodiment, the control unit performs processing (processing including a visualization process stage including a visualization data acquisition stage and a development stage) described later. By executing the job operation status evaluation program for this purpose, the control unit also functions as a visualization processing unit including a visualization data acquisition unit and a development unit.

  Further, the client terminal 30 includes a display, a keyboard, and a pointing device. The display displays a simulation setting screen, a job operation status screen that visualizes an actually executed job or a job operation status in the simulation by a visualization process described later. The keyboard and pointing device are used when inputting data related to a condition value (for example, desired end time) used for simulation or instructing execution of simulation.

  Next, processing using the job operation status evaluation server 20 having the above-described configuration will be described. In the present embodiment, description will be given in the order of simulation processing, visualization processing, and simulation execution processing by the specified number of simultaneous job executions. Before performing these processes, the evaluation computer 21 of the job operation status evaluation server 20 acquires the log file data recorded in the log file data storage unit 13, and acquires the job name, queue registration date and time of the job operation status data 220, The start date and time and the end date and time are recorded in the job operation status data storage unit 22.

(Simulation process)
First, the simulation process will be described with reference to FIG. Here, a case where the resources (job processing computers) are increased will be described. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the process start time for starting execution of the batch process is not changed, and the desired end time of the batch process is set earlier than the final end time of the actually executed batch process.

Here, the user gives an instruction to execute simulation processing via the client terminal 30. Specifically, first, in response to a user instruction, the client terminal 30 activates the job operation status evaluation program and displays a menu button on the display. When a button for executing a simulation process is selected from the displayed menu buttons, the client terminal 30 displays a screen for setting a simulation condition value on the display. This setting screen includes an input field for inputting a condition value for simulation and a simulation execution button. In the present embodiment, the desired batch processing end time is input as a simulation condition value. When the simulation execution button is selected, the client terminal 30 transmits a simulation execution request to the job operation status evaluation server 20. This simulation execution request includes the desired end time input on the setting screen. Then, the evaluation computer 21 of the job operating status evaluation server 20 that has received the simulation execution request executes a condition value acquisition process (step S1-1).

  And the evaluation computer 21 which acquired the data regarding desired end time performs a simulation (step S1-2). In this case, the evaluation computer 21 uses the number of concurrent job executions, the job execution definition data recorded in the definition information data storage unit 12, and the job operation status data 220 recorded in the job operation status data storage unit 22.

  Here, first, the simulation means of the evaluation computer 21 performs a calculation process of the number of simultaneous job executions used for the simulation. Specifically, the simulation unit acquires the number of job processing computers used for actual job execution by the job execution server 10 from the simultaneous execution number data storage unit. Then, since the final end time of the batch process actually executed by the job execution server 10 (the end time of the last job performed) is later than the desired end time acquired from the client terminal 30, the simulation means actually The number obtained by adding “1” to the number of job processing computers used for the job execution is calculated as the number of simultaneous job executions.

  Then, the simulation unit executes job allocation for the calculated number of simultaneous job executions in order from the job with the earliest queue registration date / time in the job operation status data 220. For a job whose queue waiting time has disappeared due to job allocation, the simulation unit records the same date and time as the queue registration date and time in the start date and time data area of the simulation result data storage unit.

  Also, the simulation means calculates the processing time of each job by subtracting the start date and time from the end date and time of the job operation status data 220, and adds the calculated job processing time to the start date and time recorded in the simulation result data storage unit. To calculate the end date and time. Then, the simulation means records the calculated end date / time in the end date / time data area of the simulation result data storage unit.

  Further, the simulation means uses the data related to the end date and time recorded in the simulation result data storage unit and the job execution definition data to register the queue recorded in the job operation status data 220 by the job whose end date and time is earlier. A job whose queue registration date is earlier than the date is specified.

  Specifically, if the conditions for executing job D are jobs A, B, and C, the job D can be executed when the last job of jobs A, B, and C is completed. The time is recorded as the queue registration date and time. If the end date / time of the last job of jobs A, B, and C changes because the number of concurrent job executions has changed, the job queue registration date / time is changed accordingly.

As described above, the simulation unit performs simulation of each job corresponding to the job operation status data 220 recorded in the job operation status data storage unit 22 and records the simulation result in the simulation result data storage unit.

  Then, the evaluation computer 21 determines whether or not the end dates and times of all jobs are before the desired end time by executing the simulation (step S1-3). In this case, if the end date / time of all jobs is before the desired end time (“YES” in step S1-3), the specific simultaneous job execution number specifying process described later is executed (step S1-6).

  On the other hand, when there is a job with an end date and time exceeding the desired end time (in the case of “NO” in step S1-3), the simulation means determines whether or not there is a queue waiting time (job execution waiting time). Is executed (step S1-4). Specifically, the simulation unit compares whether the start date / time is the same as the queue registration date / time of the simulation result data of the job whose end date / time exceeds the desired end time.

  If the job start date and time is later than the queue registration date and this job has a queue waiting time (in the case of “YES” in step S1-4), the simulation means changes the number of simultaneous job executions (step S1). -5). In this case (step S1-5), the simulation unit changes (increases) the number of simultaneous job executions. Specifically, the number obtained by adding “1” to the concurrent job execution number used in the simulation execution (step S1-2) is set as the concurrent job execution number. Then, the simulation is executed again using the changed number of simultaneous job executions (step S1-2), and the subsequent processing is repeatedly executed.

  On the other hand, when the job queue registration date and time and the start date and time are the same, the simulation unit searches the definition information data storage unit 12 for job execution definition data associated with the job name of the job. Here, when the job name of the preceding job can be extracted, the simulation unit extracts job execution definition data associated with the acquired job name. In this case, the simulation unit repeatedly executes this extraction process until job execution definition data associated with the acquired job name cannot be acquired.

  And a simulation means acquires the simulation result data linked | related with the job name of the acquired preceding job from a simulation result data storage part. Further, the simulation means compares the queue registration date and time of the acquired simulation result data with the start date and time.

  Here, among the acquired preceding jobs, when the start date / time is later than the queue registration date / time and there is a queue waiting time (in the case of “YES” in step S1-4), the simulation means changes the concurrent job execution number (step S1-4). S1-5) Using this, the simulation is executed again (step S1-2).

  On the other hand, when the start date / time is the same as the queue registration date / time in each acquired preceding job, the simulation unit executes the process of specifying the exact simultaneous job execution number (step S1-6). Specifically, the simulation unit specifies the number of simultaneous job executions when the simulation is last executed as the accurate simultaneous job execution number, and records it in the simultaneous execution number data storage unit.

  Thus, the simulation process ends. Then, the evaluation computer 21 of the job operation status evaluation server 20 that has completed the simulation process transmits simulation result data and data related to the number of accurate simultaneous job executions to the client terminal 30 that has transmitted the simulation execution request. The following visualization process is performed.

(Visualization process)
Next, the visualization process in the control unit of the client terminal 30 will be described. This visualization process is a process for displaying the actual job operation status and the job operation status based on the simulation result on the display.

  First, the control unit of the client terminal 30 executes visualization data acquisition processing (step S2-1). Here, when the above-described simulation execution request is transmitted, the simulation result data received from the job operation status evaluation server 20 is acquired as visualization data.

  When browsing the actual job operation status, the client terminal 30 activates the job operation status evaluation program and displays a menu button on the display in response to a user instruction. When a button for executing the visualization process for the actual job operation status is selected from the displayed menu buttons, the control unit of the client terminal 30 makes a log data request request to the job operation status evaluation server 20. Execute. In this embodiment, since log file data is recorded as the job operation status data 220, the evaluation computer 21 of the job operation status evaluation server 20 uses the job operation status data 220 recorded in the job operation status data storage unit 22. Is transmitted to the client terminal 30. In this case, the evaluation computer 21 also transmits data regarding the number of job processing computers acquired from the concurrent execution number data storage unit to the client terminal 30. The control unit of the client terminal 30 acquires the job operation status data 220 received from the job operation status evaluation server 20 in response to the log data request request as visualization data.

  Next, the control part of the client terminal 30 performs the expansion | deployment process expanded to a time series graph (step S2-2). Here, the control part which acquired visualization data rearranges the acquired visualization data in order with an early queue registration time. Further, the control unit generates job operation status display data for displaying the job operation status screen 500 shown in FIG. 5 using the rearranged visualization data.

  Here, when generating job operation status display data, the control unit performs processing for arranging the queue registration date / time, start date / time, and end date / time of each visualization data in a table. Further, the control unit creates a graph in which the horizontal axis represents time. Here, the control unit sets one unit on the horizontal axis indicating the time as 10 minutes. Then, the control unit includes the data indicating the numerical value of “minute” of the start time in the job operation status display data in the column corresponding to the start time of the visualization data. Further, in the job operation status display data, a numerical value of “minute” of the end time is displayed in a column immediately after the column corresponding to the end time of the visualization data. Further, the job operation status display data includes data for displaying the column corresponding to the end time from the column corresponding to the start time (display with a thick frame in this embodiment) that can specify the processing time. Further, the job operation status display data includes data for displaying the numerical value of “minute” of the queue registration time in the column preceding the column corresponding to the queue registration time. If the column corresponding to the queue registration time is not the same as the column corresponding to the start time, a column between them is displayed in the job operation status display data so that the queue waiting time can be specified (this embodiment) In this example, the data to be hatched is included.

  When simulation result data is acquired as visualization data, the control unit displays a different display method (for example, a different display color) from other jobs when there is a job with an end date and time that exceeds the desired end time. The data to be displayed in the above is included in the job operation status display data.

Further, the number of concurrent job executions used in the visualization display is included in the job operation status display data. In this case, when the job operation status data 220 is used as visualization data, the number of job processing computers that have actually performed processing is included as the number of simultaneous job executions. Further, when the simulation result data is used as the visualization data, the accurate simultaneous job execution number specified in the simulation is included as the simultaneous job execution number.

  Then, the control unit of the client terminal 30 displays the job operation status screen 500 on the display based on the generated job operation status display data. In the job operation status screen 500, a queue waiting time state is displayed by hatching for each job, and a processing time state is displayed by a thick frame. Further, when the simulation result is displayed on the job operation status screen 500, the job with the end date and time exceeding the desired end time is displayed in, for example, green. As a result, a job that affects the desired end time and that does not reduce time even if the resources are increased is specified.

  Further, the job operation status screen 500 displays the number of job processing computers or the exact number of simultaneous job executions as the number of simultaneous job executions. Further, the job operation status screen 500 displays a change column for changing the number of simultaneous job executions and a simulation execution button for executing a simulation process using the changed number of simultaneous job executions. This completes the visualization process.

(Simulation execution processing with the specified number of concurrent job executions)
Next, simulation execution processing based on the number of simultaneous job executions designated by the user will be described. Here, when the user browses the time series graph displayed on the job operation status screen 500 and changes the number of simultaneous job executions, the user inputs the number of simultaneous job executions to be changed in the change column, and executes the simulation execution button. Select. As a result, the control unit of the client terminal 30 transmits a simulation execution request to the job operation status evaluation server 20. This simulation execution request includes the designated number of simultaneous job executions.

  The evaluation computer 21 of the job operation status evaluation server 20 uses the received simultaneous job execution number data and the job operation status data 220 to execute a simulation in the same manner as in step S1-2. Then, the evaluation computer 21 records the simulation result in the simulation result data storage unit. Further, the evaluation computer 21 transmits the simulation result data and the data related to the designated number of simultaneous job executions to the client terminal 30 that has transmitted the simulation execution request, and performs the above-described visualization processing.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the present embodiment, when the evaluation computer 21 acquires the condition value (Step S1-1), the evaluation computer 21 executes a simulation (Step S1-2). When the execution of the simulation is finished and there is a job with an end date and time exceeding the desired end time, the simulation means executes a process for determining whether or not there is a queue waiting time (job execution waiting time) (step S1-4). When there is a queue waiting time (in the case of “YES” in step S1-4), the simulation unit changes the number of simultaneous job executions (step S1-5) and executes the simulation again (step S1-2). . On the other hand, when the number of concurrent job executions is not changed (“NO” in step S1-4), the evaluation computer 21 executes a process for specifying the exact number of concurrent job executions (step S1-6). Thereafter, the evaluation computer 21 transmits data relating to the exact number of simultaneous job executions to the client terminal 30. The control unit of the client terminal 30 displays the accurate simultaneous job execution number as the simultaneous job execution number on the job operation status screen 500. For this reason, since the accurate number of simultaneous job executions is displayed, it is possible to evaluate an efficient job operation status. Therefore, batch processing can be executed efficiently by using a job processing computer having the exact number of simultaneous job executions.

  In this embodiment, the simulation unit changes the number of simultaneous job executions when the start date / time of a job whose end date / time exceeds the desired end time is later than the queue registration date / time (in the case of “YES” in step S1-4). (Step S1-5) The simulation is executed again (Step S1-2), and the subsequent processing is repeatedly executed. In addition, when the job queue registration date and start date are the same, the simulation means determines that the job execution definition associated with the acquired job name until the job execution definition data cannot be acquired for the preceding job of this job. Repeat the data extraction process. Then, the simulation result data of the acquired preceding job is acquired, and when there is a job whose start date / time is later than the queue registration date / time (in the case of “YES” in step S1-4), the simulation unit changes the number of simultaneous job executions. (Step S1-5), the simulation is executed again (Step S1-2). On the other hand, when the start date / time is the same as the queue registration date / time in each acquired preceding job, the simulation unit executes the process of specifying the exact simultaneous job execution number (step S1-6). Therefore, the evaluation computer 21 not only determines whether there is a queue waiting time from only the queue registration date and time and the start date and time of the simulation result data of the job whose end date and time exceeds the desired end time, but also the queue registration in the preceding job of this job Whether or not there is a job execution standby time can also be determined from the date and time and the start date and time. Therefore, it is possible to more appropriately determine whether or not the target final processing end time can be approached due to a change in the number of simultaneous job executions.

  -In this embodiment, the control part of the client terminal 30 performs the acquisition process of visualization data (step S2-1), and acquires simulation result data or the job operation condition data 220 as visualization data. Next, the control part of the client terminal 30 performs the expansion | deployment process expanded to a time series graph (step S2-2). Here, the control unit generates job operation status display data using the rearranged visualization data. Specifically, the control unit creates a graph in which the horizontal axis represents time, and displays job operation status display data that displays a numerical value of “minute” of the start time in a column corresponding to the start time of the visualization data. Is generated. Further, in the job operation status display data, a numerical value of “minute” of the end time is displayed in a column immediately after the column corresponding to the end time of the visualization data. Further, the job operation status display data includes data for displaying the numerical value of “minute” of the queue registration time in the column preceding the column corresponding to the queue registration time. Then, the control unit of the client terminal 30 displays the job operation status screen 500 on the display based on the generated job operation status display data. Therefore, on the job operation status screen 500, the queue registration time and the processing time are outlined from the position of “minute” of the queue registration time, the start time, and the end time displayed in the graph with the horizontal axis as time. It can be easily grasped.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit of the client terminal 30 changes the column corresponding to the start time from the column corresponding to the start time to the job operation status display data generated in the execution of the visualization data acquisition process (step S2-1). Is included in the display that can specify the processing time (in this embodiment, a thick frame). If the column corresponding to the queue registration time is not the same as the column corresponding to the start time, a column between them is displayed in the job operation status display data so that the queue waiting time can be specified (this embodiment) In this example, the data to be hatched is included. As a result, in the job operation status screen 500 displayed on the display by the control unit, the queue waiting time state is displayed by hatching for each job, and the processing time state is displayed by a thick frame. Therefore, the outline of the queue registration time and the processing time can be easily grasped by displaying hatching or displaying a thick frame.

-In this embodiment, when the control part of the client terminal 30 acquires simulation result data as visualization data, when there is a job with an end date and time exceeding the desired end time, this job is displayed differently from other jobs. Data to be displayed by a method (for example, different display colors) is included in the job operation status display data. As a result, on the job operation status screen 500 displayed on the display by the control unit, the job with the end date and time exceeding the desired end time is displayed so as to be easily distinguished from other jobs. As a result, a job that affects the desired end time and does not shorten the time even if the resources are increased, and the desired end time can be set by tuning the job.

  In this embodiment, the control unit of the client terminal 30 causes the job operation status screen 500 displayed based on the generated job operation status display data to execute a change column for changing the number of simultaneous job executions and a simulation process. And a simulation execution button. When the concurrent job execution number to be changed is input to the change column and the simulation execution button is selected, the client terminal 30 transmits a simulation execution request including the designated simultaneous job execution number to the job operation status evaluation server 20. To do. The evaluation computer 21 of the job operating status evaluation server 20 executes simulation and records the simulation result. Further, the evaluation computer 21 transmits the simulation result data and the data related to the designated number of simultaneous job executions to the client terminal 30 that has transmitted the simulation execution request, and performs the above-described visualization processing. For this reason, it is possible to visualize the simulation result data executed based on the number of concurrent jobs specified by the user, so that it is possible to easily grasp the queue waiting time and the processing time of each job.

Moreover, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the above embodiment, the control unit of the client terminal 30 displays the job operation status display for displaying the job queue registration time, the start time, and the end time using a time-series graph indicating each time in the visualization process. Generated data. In addition to this, in the visualization process, the queue waiting time and the processing time may be displayed using another time series graph. For example, the control unit may use a time-series graph that displays according to the actual queue waiting time and processing time. Specifically, the control unit calculates the queue waiting time by subtracting the queue registration time from the start time, and calculates the processing time by subtracting the start time from the end time.

  The control unit displays the job operation status display data so that the display is changed depending on whether the calculated queue waiting time (or processing time) is larger or smaller than the display indicating the queue waiting time (or processing time) on the job operation status screen 500. May be generated. For example, when the queue waiting time calculated is longer than the time displayed on the job operation status screen 500, the first color (for example, blue) indicating the long time is displayed on the job operation status screen 500. When the queue waiting time calculated is shorter than the current time, job operation status display data that is displayed in a second color (for example, yellow) indicating a short time may be generated. Here, specifically, a job on the job operation status screen 500 will be described as an example of a job with a queue registration time of 2:29 and a start time of 2:52. In this job, the queue waiting time calculated from the queue registration time and the start time is 23 minutes. On the other hand, the queue waiting time display (hatching display) of this job is displayed as 30 minutes because there are three columns. In this case, this column is shown in yellow for short time.

  If there is no display (hatching display) that can specify the queue waiting time on the job operation status screen 500 even though the queue waiting time exists, this queue waiting time is displayed at the queue registration time. You may display in the column which shows "minute". Specifically, a job with a queue registration time of 3:00:00 and a start time of 3: 9 will be described as an example. Although the queue waiting time of this job is 9 minutes, there is no queue waiting display on the job operation status screen 500. In this case, since the queue waiting time is not “0”, the control unit may display the queue waiting time on the square displaying “minute” of the queue registration time.

  In the above embodiment, the evaluation computer 21 is a simulation means, and the simulation process is performed by the evaluation computer 21. Alternatively, the control unit of the client terminal 30 may be a simulation unit, and the simulation process may be performed by the control unit of the client terminal 30.

  In the above embodiment, the evaluation computer 21 acquires log file data related to the log of the actually executed job and records it in the job operation status data storage unit 22 as job operation status data 220 used for simulation. Not limited to this, the job operation status data storage unit 22 may use log file data of each job in a plurality of actually executed batch processes for simulation. For example, the number of simultaneous job executions may be calculated using log file data of each job in a plurality of batch processes. In this case, since log data of different batch processes can be used, a more optimal simultaneous job execution number can be calculated. Further, average values (average queue registration time, average start date / time, average end date / time, etc.) of each job may be calculated from log file data of each job in a plurality of batch processes, and these may be used for simulation.
