A method is provided that collects, analysis and graphically displays the relationship between processing jobs, files and systems within a batch environment. Job processing order is illustrated using flow charts that display dependencies between jobs and files. Dependencies exist when jobs are triggered by other jobs and/or files and by jobs that require files created by other jobs. By selecting a starting job or file, and the direction of the stream, a user can view either successor or predecessor information. In addition to flowcharts detailed information, such as run-time schedules, location, ownership, help telephone member, etc. is available about each individual job and file. The data to create the display is regularly collected from a scheduling system (such as CA7) parsed and downloaded onto a file server where it is analyzed and prepared for access by the graphic user interface over a local area network.
In a data processing system for executing a plurality of applications on data contained in a plurality of data sets, wherein each of said applications includes one or more data processing jobs, and wherein at least some of said jobs can be executed only after completion of execution of other jobs, and wherein a scheduling program is used to arrange order of processing of said jobs by said data processing system, a method for providing a graphic display of said order of processing of said jobs, comprising:
In a data processing system for executing a plurality of applications on data contained in a plurality of data files, wherein each of said applications includes one or more data processing jobs, and wherein at least some of said jobs can be executed only after completion of execution of other jobs, and wherein a scheduling program is used to arrange order of processing of said jobs by said data processing system, a method for recovering from a data processing error, comprising:
