Abstract
A technique for performing a batch process is provided. The technique includes storing information which identifies a process. The identified process is a process other than a scheduled process. When performance of the identified process is detected a batch process is performed.
Claims24
A method for performing a batch process, comprising:
- storing information identifying a process other than a scheduled process;
- detecting performance of the identified process;
- and
- performing a batch process based on detection of the performance of the identified process.
1 more element
A method for executing a batch process, comprising:
- storing information identifying a first event, the first event being performance of an unscheduled process;
- storing information identifying at least one other event, each of the at least one other event being one of performance of a scheduled process, and clocking of a time;
- detecting occurrence of the first event and the at least one other event;
- and
- executing a batch process only upon detection of the occurrence of the first event and the at least one other event.
2 more elements
A system for executing a batch process, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions for performing a first process, instructions for performing a second process, the second process being a batch process, and information identifying the first process;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the first process, detect performance of the first process based upon the stored information identifying the first process, and execute the second process based on detection of the performance of the first process.
