FIG. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of a window example displayed on the display device when a job list request is input by the input device.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a job management system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a management server 10 and at least one device 12 (n). In addition, n is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the value is not specifically limited. The management server 10 and each device 12 (n) are connected to be communicable with each other via the Internet NET as a network.

  The management server 10 is a terminal that manages the device 12 (n) such as collecting information on the device 12 (n) and executing a job. The management server 10 includes a server main body 14, a display device 16, and an input device 18. The server main body 14 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20, a memory 22, an HDD (Hard disk drive) 24, a communication device 26, etc., and an operating system (not shown) installed in the HDD 24, for example It includes a manager program such as an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) manager, and has software such as a management program 28 for realizing the above management. The display device 16 is a display such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display. The input device 18 is, for example, a keyboard or a mouse. On the other hand, each device 12 (n) is a network device such as a server, a router, or a switch, or a storage device such as a disk array. Each device 12 (n) has an agent program such as an SNMP agent that collects and returns information on the device 12 (n) in response to a request for information collection from the management server 10.

  Next, the functional configuration of the management server 10 will be described with reference to FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the management server 10 includes a storage unit 30 that includes, for example, a memory 22 and an HDD 24. The management server 10 also includes an acquisition unit 32, an execution instruction unit 34, an output unit 36, a display control unit 38, and a count unit 40 that function when the CPU 20 executes the management program 28. .

The storage unit 30 stores, for example, execution history data D1 and an output file D2.
The execution history data D1 is stored in a spreadsheet of spreadsheet software already stored in the storage unit 30, for example. The execution history data D1 is a history of execution information of jobs executed by the device 12 (n). The execution history data D1 includes a plurality of pieces of execution information such as the name of the executed job, the execution start date / time of the executed job, the execution end date / time, and the job status.
Here, execution history data in which a predetermined period (information holding period set so that the latest data can be referred to), for example, five days or one month has elapsed from the time stored in the worksheet in the execution history data D1. In order to prevent the worksheet from being filled, the worksheet is sequentially deleted from the worksheet. However, the execution history data to be deleted may be data that has passed a predetermined period from the date of the execution history. In this specification, “job” is an execution unit of processing performed by the device 12 (n).
The output file D2 is generated and output by the output unit 36 based on the execution history data D1.

  The acquisition unit 32 acquires the execution information of the job, for example, every time the job is started in the device 12 (n), and stores the acquired job execution information in the storage unit 30 as a part of the job execution history data D1. Memorize in the worksheet.

  For example, the execution instructing unit 34 accepts the device 12 (n) when the input device 18 receives a job execution instruction input operation or when the execution information acquired by the acquiring unit 32 satisfies a predetermined condition. To execute the job.

  The output unit 36 outputs, for example, execution history data older than a preset time or period among the execution history data D1 stored in the storage unit 30 to a file, and stores the file as an output file D2. 30. Note that the “preset time” is, for example, a time that is newer than the information holding period until old execution history data is deleted. For example, if the information holding period is 5 days, For example, 23:59:59 on the 4th and 23:59:59 on the 3rd. The “preset period” is a period that is newer than the information holding period until, for example, old execution history data is deleted. For example, if the information holding period is 5 days, the preset period is 4 or 3 days.

  The display control unit 38 controls various displays such as the output file D2 on the display device 16, for example.

  For example, the count unit 40 counts the number of job execution instructions by the execution instruction unit 34. In the present specification, the “execution instruction count” may include, for example, the number of job execution instructions from the input device of the device 12 (n) other than the execution instruction section 34. “Instruction count” is synonymous with “execution count”.

  Next, an example of the processing flow of the output unit 36 will be described with reference to FIG. The process is repeatedly executed, for example, every minute or irregularly.

(Step SP10) The output unit 36 determines whether or not x days (x is a natural number) set in advance from the previous positive determination, for example, one day has elapsed. The output unit 36 proceeds to the process of step SP12 when an affirmative determination is made, and ends the process when a negative determination is made.
(Step SP12) The output unit 36 acquires, for example, execution history data that is older than at least a preset time among the execution history data D1 stored in the storage unit 30, for example, a scheduled deletion portion to be deleted the next day. And the output part 36 transfers to the process of step SP14.
(Step SP14) The output unit 36 generates a file on the memory 22 of the storage unit 30 on a date basis from the portion to be deleted. In the present embodiment, since a file is generated from the scheduled deletion part of the next day, one file is generated. However, when a file is generated from a scheduled deletion part of a plurality of days, a file is generated every multiple days. . And the output part 36 transfers to the process of step SP16.
(Step SP16) The output unit 36 compresses the generated file in order to reduce the file size. And the output part 36 transfers to the process of step SP18.
(Step SP18) The output unit 36 outputs the generated file to the HDD 24 of the storage unit 30 as the output file D2. Then, the output unit 36 finishes the entire process.

  Through the above processing, when an execution history reference request is input by the input device 18, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, a window in which a plurality of past dates 52 having an execution history are described in the order of new dates. 50 is displayed on the display device 16 under the control of the display control unit 38. Here, when a certain date 52 is designated by the input device 18, the display control unit 38 accesses the storage device 30 to the display device 16, and the contents of the output file D 2 corresponding to the designated date 52. Control the display of. As a result, even if the old execution history data D1 in the storage unit 30 is deleted at any time after a predetermined period (information holding period) has elapsed, the output file D2 remains in the storage unit 30, and the contents of the output file D2 (date unit) (Execution history) can be displayed on the display device 16, so that an old execution history after a predetermined period can be referred to. The generation list box 54 shown in FIG. 4 is a box in which a date 52 is displayed when a certain date 52 is designated by the input device 18. The generation list button 56 is used to switch from a blank window 50 in which the past date 52 is not described to a window 50 in which the past date 52 is described in the order of the new date when pressed by the input device 18. Button.

  Next, another example of the processing flow of the output unit 36 will be described with reference to FIG. This processing is executed when, for example, an execution history file output request is input from the input device 18.

First, the output unit 36 causes the display control unit 38 to start processing. The display control unit 38 controls the display of the window 60 shown in FIG. The window 60 displayed on the display device 16 is provided with a radio button 62 for selecting one of date designation and period designation. The window 60 also includes a selection box 64 for selecting a date to be specified when the date designation radio button 62 is checked, and a period for selecting a period when the period designation radio button 62 is checked. A selection box 66 and an output button 68 are provided.
When the output button 68 is pressed by the input device 18, the output unit 36 executes the execution history data of the date selected in the selection box 64 in the execution history data D 1 when the date designation radio button 62 is checked. Is output to the storage unit 30 as the output file D2, and when the period designation radio button 62 is checked, the execution history data in the period selected in the selection box 66 in the execution history data D1 is output as the output file D2. Output to.

  Through the above processing, any date and any period execution history data in the execution history data D1 can be output as the output file D2, and all execution history data can be freely referred to.

  Next, the processing flow of the counting unit 40 will be described with reference to FIG. The process is repeatedly executed, for example, every minute or irregularly. The process is repeatedly executed for each job type.

(Step SP20) The count unit 40 determines whether or not a predetermined day y (y is a natural number), for example, one day has passed since the previous positive determination. The count unit 40 proceeds to the process of step SP22 when an affirmative determination is made, and proceeds to the process of step SP24 when a negative determination is made.
(Step SP22) The count unit 40 substitutes “0” for the variable z (z = 0). Since the value of the variable z is a positive integer and indicates the job execution instruction count, setting z = 0 resets the job execution instruction count. Further, the count unit 40 causes the display control unit 38 to start processing. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the display control unit 38 controls the display device 16 to display an icon 70 for specifying the job type in the job list. And the count part 40 transfers to the process of step SP24.
(Step SP24) The count unit 40 determines whether or not there is a job execution instruction from the execution instruction unit 34. The count unit 40 proceeds to the process of step SP26 when an affirmative determination is made, and ends the process when a negative determination is made.
(Step SP26) The count unit 40 adds “1” to the variable z (z = z + 1). And the count part 40 transfers to the process of step SP28.
(Step SP28) The count unit 40 causes the display control unit 38 to start processing. For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, the display control unit 38 displays the icon 70 in the job list and the value of the variable z in the icon 70, that is, the job execution instruction. The display of the icon 72 indicating the number of times is controlled. Then, the display control unit 38 returns the processing to the counting unit 40, and the counting unit 40 ends the entire processing.

  Through the above processing, the number of job execution instructions can be grasped at a glance.

  Next, an example of the processing flow of the display control unit 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. This process is executed when an execution history reference request relating to a predetermined job such as job 1 is input by the input device 18, for example.

The display control unit 38 controls the display device 16 to display the window 80 shown in FIG. In the window 80 displayed on the display device 16, the job execution history 84 based on the execution history data D1 of the storage unit 30 is displayed in addition to the basic job information 82 such as the job ID and name. When the window 80 is displayed, the execution history 84 is, for example, the execution history 84A at the first time in the number of execution instructions for a job for one day. Further, the window 80 is provided with a selection field 86 for selecting the execution history of the execution history 84 shown in the window 80 as the execution history.
For example, when the second execution instruction number other than the first time is selected (specified) in the selection field 86 in the window 80 using the input device 18, for example, the display control unit 38 is the same as the display device 16. In the window 80, the execution history 84 is displayed as an execution history corresponding to the number of execution instructions specified in the selection field 86, for example, as shown in FIG. Switch control.

  Through the above processing, all execution histories can be easily referred to.

  Next, another example of the processing flow of the display control unit 38 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is executed when, for example, a job list request is input through the input device 18.

The display control unit 38 controls the display device 16 to display the window 90 shown in FIG. In the window 90 displayed on the display device 16, for example, a single job icon 92 executed by a predetermined device 12 (n) is displayed, but a plurality of job icons 92 are displayed. Also good. In addition, the window 90 is provided with a display bar 94 and a spin button 96.
When the predetermined icon 92 is activated on the input device 18, the display control unit 38 changes the display device 16 to the predetermined icon 92 in the display bar 94 based on the execution history data D1 of the storage unit 30. Controls the display of the date and time of one history in the execution history of the corresponding job. The display control unit 38 controls the display device 16 to display the one history in the window 90 or a new window. In this state, when the spin button 96 is pressed, the display control unit 38 switches the date and time indicated by the display bar 94 in response to the press of the spin button 96 and executes the execution history in the window 90 or in a new window. Is switched to the execution history corresponding to the date and time when the display is switched. The execution history is displayed in the same format as the execution history 84 shown in FIG. 8, for example.

  Through the above processing, the execution history can be switched in one window 90, so that the execution history can be switched by a simple operation.
