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, a functional configuration of the management server 10 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the management server 10 includes a storage unit 30 including a memory 22 and an HDD 24. The management server 10 also functions as the CPU 20 executes the management program 28. The setting unit 32, the acquisition unit 34, the execution instruction unit 36, the notification unit 38, the measurement unit 40, and the display control unit 42 function. And having. Here, in this specification, “job” is an execution unit of processing performed by the device 12 (n), and a job that is an execution instruction target of the execution instruction unit 36 is referred to as an “execution instruction target job”. .

  The storage unit 30 includes an execution instruction target job that is an execution instruction target of the execution instruction unit 36, instruction setting data D1 that indicates the setting of the conditions of the execution instruction, a notification target job that is a notification target of the notification unit 38, and The notification setting data D2 indicating the setting of the notification condition of the notification target job and the measurement data D3 indicating the measurement result of the job execution required time are stored. In the present embodiment, the instruction setting data D1 is stored for each execution instruction target job set by the setting unit 32 among all jobs of the device 12 (n), and the notification setting data D2 is stored in the device 12 (n). Stored for every job.

When the setting unit 32 receives a setting start operation related to the execution instruction with the input device 18, the setting unit 32 displays a dialog box 50 as shown in FIG. This dialog box 50 includes an input display field 52 for displaying or inputting the name and ID of the execution instruction target job, and one or a plurality of jobs that are the premise of the execution instruction of the execution instruction target job, for example, three in this embodiment. Each job (premise job 1, premise job 2, premise job 3) has a determination criterion and a condition selection column 54 based on the determination criterion. The dialog box 50 also includes a save button 56 that saves the information in the input display field 52 and the selection field 54 in the storage unit 30 as instruction setting data D1 when pressed by the input device 18.
Note that the “determination criteria” include, for example, a job execution processing status which is status information indicating job status including the end or execution of the job of the device 12 (n), and a job including codes such as start failure and forced end Execution result code. Further, the “condition based on the determination criterion” includes, for example, a condition based on the status information that satisfies the normal end, warning end, or abnormal end of the job.

  Further, when the setting unit 32 receives a setting start operation related to the notification with the input device 18, for example, the setting unit 32 displays a dialog box 60 as illustrated in FIG. 4 on the display device 16. This dialog box 60 includes a display column 62 for displaying the name of the job, and a check for determining whether or not the job displayed in the display column 62 is a notification target job, that is, whether the notification setting is valid. As a notification condition and notification content, for example, a check box 66 for determining start or end as a notification target job status, and a selection column 68 for determining a notification target destination are included. The dialog box 60 also has an OK button 70 that saves the information such as the check boxes 64 and 66 and the selection column 68 in the storage unit 30 as the notification setting data D2 when the input device 18 is pressed.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the acquisition unit 34 acquires a plurality of (job) job management information of the device 12 (n) and temporarily stores it in the storage unit 30. The plurality of job management information may be job management information of different devices 12 (n) or job management information of different jobs in the same device 12 (n).

  Based on the instruction setting data D1 in the storage unit 30, the execution instruction unit 36 includes at least two (three in this embodiment) job management information among a plurality of job management information acquired by the acquisition unit 34. When both conditions are satisfied, an instruction to execute a preset job is given to the device 12 (n). The execution instruction unit 36 also instructs the corresponding device 12 (n) to execute the at least one job when the input device 18 receives an input operation of at least one job execution instruction. Good.

  Based on the notification setting data D2 in the storage unit 30, the notification unit 38 notifies a preset destination when the job management information acquired by the acquisition unit 34 satisfies a notification condition that is a notification condition. . Examples of the notification means include display on the display device 16 and the like, as well as mail, automatic voice by telephone, and the like.

  The measuring unit 40 measures the time required for executing the job instructed to be executed by the execution instructing unit 36 and stores the measurement result in the storage unit 30 as measurement data D3.

  The display control unit 42 controls the display of the progress status of the job instructed to be executed by the execution instruction unit 36 based on the measurement data D3 in the storage unit 30. For example, in this embodiment, the display control unit 42 instructs the execution of the job that has already been instructed to be executed by the execution instructing unit 36, and based on the required execution time measured in the past by the measuring unit 40 while the job is being executed. Controls the display of the progress status of jobs that have been instructed to execute again.

  Next, the flow of processing of the execution instruction unit 36 will be described with reference to FIG. The processing is repeatedly executed periodically, for example, every second or irregularly.

(Step SP10) The execution instruction unit 36 reads out one instruction setting data D1 in the storage unit 30, and executes each of the execution instruction target job and the prerequisite jobs, for example, the three prerequisite jobs 1, the prerequisite job 2, and the prerequisite job 3. And the respective conditions based on the determination criteria (hereinafter, the condition of the prerequisite job 1 is “condition 1”, the condition of the prerequisite job 2 is “condition 2”, and the condition of the prerequisite job 3 is “condition 3”. Etc.) is obtained. Then, the execution instruction unit 36 proceeds to the process of step SP12.
(Step SP12) The execution instructing unit 36 passes the acquired criterion for the prerequisite job 1 to the acquiring unit 34 and causes the acquiring unit 34 to start processing. The acquisition unit 34 acquires the job management information related to the determination criterion of the passed prerequisite job 1 from the device 12 (n) corresponding to the prerequisite job 1, and passes the acquired job management information to the execution instruction unit 36. . Then, the execution instruction unit 36 proceeds to the process of step SP14.
(Step SP14) The execution instruction unit 36 determines whether or not the job management information passed from the acquisition unit 34 satisfies the condition 1 based on the acquired criterion for the prerequisite job 1. Then, the execution instruction unit 36 proceeds to the process of step SP16 when an affirmative determination is made (Yes), and ends the process when a negative determination is made (No).
(Step SP16) The execution instructing unit 36 passes the acquired criterion for the prerequisite job 2 to the acquiring unit 34 and causes the acquiring unit 34 to start processing. The acquisition unit 34 acquires job management information related to the determination criterion of the passed prerequisite job 2 from the device 12 (n) corresponding to the prerequisite job 2, and passes the acquired job management information to the execution instruction unit 36. . Then, the execution instruction unit 36 proceeds to the process of step SP18.
(Step SP18) The execution instructing unit 36 determines whether or not the job management information passed from the acquiring unit 34 satisfies the condition 2 based on the acquired criterion for the prerequisite job 2. The execution instructing unit 36 proceeds to the process of step SP20 when an affirmative determination is made (Yes), and ends the process when a negative determination is made (No).
(Step SP20) The execution instructing unit 36 passes the acquired criterion for the prerequisite job 3 to the acquiring unit 34 and causes the acquiring unit 34 to start processing. The acquisition unit 34 acquires job management information related to the determination criterion of the passed prerequisite job 3 from the device 12 (n) corresponding to the prerequisite job 3, and passes the acquired job management information to the execution instruction unit 36. . Then, the execution instruction unit 36 proceeds to the process of step SP22.
(Step SP22) The execution instructing unit 36 determines whether or not the job management information passed from the acquiring unit 34 satisfies the condition 3 based on the acquired criterion for the prerequisite job 3. Then, the execution instruction unit 36 proceeds to the process of step SP24 when an affirmative determination is made (Yes), and ends the process when a negative determination is made (No).
(Step SP24) The execution instruction unit 36 instructs the corresponding device 12 (n) to execute the acquired execution instruction target job. Then, the execution instruction unit 36 finishes all the processes.
If there are a plurality of instruction setting data D1 in the storage unit 30, the above steps SP10 to SP24 are repeated for each instruction setting data D1.

  Through the above processing, the execution instruction unit 36, for example, when instructing execution of jobs for a plurality of devices 12 (n) in order, at least two of the plurality of devices 12 (n) that have already been executed. When the job management information of one device (prerequisite job) satisfies both of the preset conditions (condition 1, condition 2, etc.), the execution instruction of the job of the next device 12 (n) is instructed. be able to. As described above, the execution instruction unit 36 issues an instruction to execute a job when at least two pieces of job management information satisfy the respective conditions. Therefore, the execution instruction can be performed under more complicated conditions.

  Next, the processing flow of the notification unit 38 will be described with reference to FIG. The processing is repeatedly executed periodically, for example, every second or irregularly.

(Step SP30) The notification unit 38 reads one notification setting data D2 in the storage unit 30, and notifies the job name, the notification setting valid / invalid, and the notification condition and notification when the notification setting is valid. Acquire various information such as contents and destination. And the notification part 38 transfers to the process of step SP32.
(Step SP32) The notification unit 38 determines whether or not the acquired notification setting is valid. The notification unit 38 proceeds to the process of step SP34 when an affirmative determination is made (Yes), and ends the process when a negative determination is made (No).
(Step SP34) The notification unit 38 passes notification conditions of the acquired job (notification target job) to the acquisition unit 34, and causes the acquisition unit 34 to start processing. The acquisition unit 34 acquires job management information related to the notification condition of the passed notification target job from the device 12 (n) corresponding to the notification target job, and passes the acquired job management information to the notification unit 38. And the notification part 38 transfers to the process of step SP36.
(Step SP36) The notification unit 38 determines whether or not the passed job management information satisfies the acquired notification condition. Then, the notification unit 38 proceeds to the process of step SP38 when an affirmative determination is made (Yes), and ends the process when a negative determination is made (No).
(Step SP38) The notification unit 38 notifies the acquired destination of the acquired notification content, for example, “Job 1 has been completed”. And the notification part 38 complete | finishes all the processes.

  Through the above processing, for example, the job status can be monitored by receiving notifications such as e-mail from the notification unit 38 even when the user who is the notification destination is away from the management server 10 or the like. It is not necessary to stay in front of the management server 10 for situation monitoring. Even when the user who is the destination of the notification is in front of the management server 10, for example, there are a large number of icons 80 indicating various jobs, such as 100 icons, and the job status monitoring is not displayed on the screen. In a complicated case, by receiving a notification by display on the display device 16 by the notification unit 38, it becomes possible to grasp the job execution status and the like at a glance.

  Next, a processing flow of the display control unit 42 will be described with reference to FIG. The processing is repeatedly executed periodically, for example, every second or irregularly.

(Step SP50) As shown in FIG. 8A, for example, the display control unit 42 controls the display device 16 to display the icon 80 for each job that can be instructed by the execution instruction unit 36. It is determined whether or not at least one of the controlled jobs has been started. The display control part 42 transfers to the process of step SP52, when affirmation determination is carried out (Yes), and complete | finishes a process, when negative determination is carried out (No).
(Step SP52) For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the display control unit 42 controls the display of the start time 82, the predicted end time 84, and the progress bar frame 86 on the upper part of the icon 80 of the job that has been started. The start time 82 is the start time of the job that has started execution, and is not limited to the time when the device 12 (n) actually started executing the job. For example, the start time 82 may be the time that the execution instruction unit 36 has instructed execution. Good. The estimated end time 84 is obtained by adding the initial value of the required execution time set in advance to the start time 82 when the measurement data D3 of the job that has been started does not exist, that is, when there is no job that has been started in the past. It is. Further, the estimated end time 84 is the execution required time at the start time 82 when the measurement data D3 of the job that has started execution exists, that is, the execution required time measured for the job that has been started in the past is stored. It's the addition of time. And the display control part 42 transfers to the process of step SP54. The display control unit 42 has a plurality of measured data D3 of the started job, for example, the first time, the second time, the third time, etc., and the time required for executing the job that has been started becomes longer every day. When it is, it is preferable to use measurement data D3 indicating the latest execution time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be an average of required execution times indicated by each measurement data D3.
(Step SP54) The display control unit 42 starts processing of the measurement unit 40. The measurement unit 40 starts measuring the time required for executing the job instructed to be executed by the execution instruction unit 36. And the display control part 42 transfers to the process of step SP56.
(Step SP56) The display control unit 42 calculates the progress status of the job that has been started. This progress is, for example, the ratio of the required execution time currently measured by the measurement unit 40 in step SP54 to the required execution time measured in the past indicated by the measurement data D3 corresponding to the job that has started execution. When there is no corresponding measurement data D3, the progress status is, for example, the ratio of the execution time currently measured by the measurement unit 40 in step SP54 to the initial value of the execution time of the job that has been started. Next, the display control unit 42 controls display of the calculated progress status as a progress status bar 88 within the progress status bar frame 86. And the display control part 42 transfers to the process of step SP58.
(Step SP58) The display control unit 42 determines whether or not the job whose execution has started has been completed. If the determination is affirmative (Yes), the display control unit 42 proceeds to the process of step SP60, and if the determination is negative (No), the display control unit 42 returns to the process of step SP56.
(Step SP60) The display control unit 42 ends the display control of the start time 82, the predicted end time 84, the progress bar frame 86, and the progress bar 88. As a result, the start time 82, the predicted end time 84, the progress bar frame 86, and the progress bar 88 are not displayed on the display device 16, and the display returns to the display shown in FIG. In addition, the measurement unit 40 finishes measuring the required execution time, and stores the measurement result in the storage unit 30 as measurement data D3. And the display control part 42 and the measurement part 40 complete | finish all the processes.

  Through the above processing, the user of the management server 10 can execute the job that the execution instruction unit 36 has already instructed to execute again and execute the execution time measured in the past by the measurement unit 40 while the job is being executed. You will see the progress of the job based on. As a result, according to this embodiment, it is possible to grasp the job progress more accurately than when the user simply sees the job progress based on the preset initial value of the required execution time. .

(Modification)
As mentioned above, although several embodiment of the technique which this application discloses was described, the technique which this application discloses is not limited above. For example, the case where the execution instruction unit 36 instructs execution of a job when the three job management information satisfies the respective conditions has been described. However, when at least two job management information satisfies the respective conditions, A job execution instruction may be given. In the functional configuration of the management server 10 illustrated in FIG. 2, at least one of the notification unit 38, the measurement unit 40, and the display control unit 42 may be omitted. In addition, when the time required for job execution is long and straddles the date, the date may be entered in the start time 82 and the predicted end time 84 shown in FIG. .

  Further, in the job management system 1, a job execution instruction is started from another external terminal such as a computer or a mobile phone (not shown in FIG. 1) to the execution instruction unit 36 of the management server 10 through an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) interface. You may be able to request. In this case, the trouble of separately developing a program that accepts the start of an execution instruction from an external terminal can be saved. Further, in the present specification, “to part” can be read as “to means”.
