Server scheduling tool

A method comprising:

• storing, by a memory, one or more scheduling histories;
• receiving, by a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory, a first list from a first client device, the first list comprising a first job;
• receiving, by the hardware processor, a second list from a second client device, the second list comprising a second job;
• calculating, by the hardware processor, based on the one or more scheduling histories, a first resource requirement to execute the first job;
• calculating, by the hardware processor, based on the one or more scheduling histories, a second resource requirement to execute the second job;
• determining, by the hardware processor, based on the first resource requirement and the second resource requirement, that a conflict exists between the first job and the second job;
• in response to the determination that the conflict exists:
• communicating, by the hardware processor, a first message to the first client device indicating the conflict and a first proposed time for executing the first job;
• communicating, by the hardware processor, a second message to the second client device indicating the conflict and a second proposed time for executing the second job;
• determining, by the hardware processor, based on responses to the first message and the second message a first execution time for the first job and a second execution time for the second job;
• assigning, by the hardware processor, a first permission identifier to the first job;
• assigning, by the hardware processor, a second permission identifier to the second job;
• and
• communicating, by the hardware processor, a schedule indicating that the first job will execute at the first execution time, that the second job will execute at the second execution time, that the first job is assigned the first permission identifier, and that the second job is assigned the second permission identifier.

A system comprising:

• a first client device;
• a second client device;
• and
• a server scheduling tool comprising a memory that stores one or more scheduling histories and a processor configured to:
• receive a first list from the first client device, the first list comprising a first job;
• receive a second list from the second client device, the second list comprising a second job;
• calculate, based on the one or more scheduling histories, a first resource requirement to execute the first job;
• calculate, based on the one or more scheduling histories, a second resource requirement to execute the second job;
• determine, based on the first resource requirement and the second resource requirement, that a conflict exists between the first job and the second job;
• in response to the determination that the conflict exists:
• communicate a first message to the first client device indicating the conflict and a first proposed time for executing the first job;
• and
• communicate a second message to the second client device indicating the conflict and a second proposed time for executing the second job;
• determine based on responses to the first message and the second message a first execution time for the first job and a second execution time for the second job;
• assign a first permission identifier to the first job;
• assign a second permission identifier to the second job;
• and
• communicate a schedule indicating that the first job will execute at the first execution time, that the second job will execute at the second execution time, that the first job is assigned the first permission identifier, and that the second job is assigned the second permission identifier.
