Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and program for processing a job in a workflow environment. A signal is generated when status for the job is changed from a first status to a second status. A work process associated with the second status is notified that one job had its status changed to the second status in response to the signal. The work process processes the job that had its status changed from the first status to the second status and modifies the status of the job after completing the processing of the job.
Claims36
A method for processing a job, comprising;
- generating a signal when status for the job is changed from a first status to a second status;
- notifying a work process associated with the second status that one job had its status changed to the second status in response to the signal;
- processing, with the work process, the job that had its status changed from the first status to the second status;
- and
- modifying, with the work process, the status of the job after completing the processing of the job.
A system for processing a job, comprising;
- means for generating a signal when status for the job is changed from a first status to a second status;
- means for notifying a work process associated with the second status that one job had its status changed to the second status in response to the signal;
- means for processing, with the work process, the job that had its status changed from the first status to the second status;
- and
- means for modifying, with the work process, the status of the job after completing the processing of the job.
An article of manufacture for processing a job, the article of manufacture comprising computer usable media including at least one computer program and at least one work process embedded therein that causes at least one computer to perform:
- generating a signal when status for the job is changed from a first status to a second status;
- notifying a work process associated with the second status that one job had its status changed to the second status in response to the signal;
- processing, with the work process, the job that had its status changed from the first status to the second status;
- and
- modifying, with the work process, the status of the job after completing the processing of the job.
