Job management system and information processing method

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that causes a computer to perform a relay process comprising:

• transferring, upon receiving a first request that specifies first identification information identifying a job to request a start of execution of the job, from a first job management apparatus, the first request to a job execution system that is to execute the job, receiving second identification information identifying the job from the job execution system, and storing the first identification information and the second identification information association with each other in a memory;
• transmitting, to the job execution system, a third request that specifies the second identification information to request status information indicating an execution status of the job, and storing the status information returned from the job execution system in association with the first identification information in the memory;
• obtaining, upon receiving a second request that specifies the first identification information to request the status information, from the first job management apparatus, the status information associated with the first identification information from the memory, and transmitting the status information to the first job management apparatus;
• and
• obtaining, upon receiving a fourth request specifying the first identification information from a second job management apparatus that has taken over a monitoring process of monitoring the execution status of the job from the first job management apparatus, the status information associated with the first identification information from the memory, and transmitting the status information to the second job management apparatus.

An information processing method comprising:

• performing, by a processor, a relay process including:
• transferring, upon receiving a first request that specifies first identification information identifying a job to request a start of execution of the job, from a first job management apparatus, the first request to a job execution system that is to execute the job, receiving second identification information identifying the job from the job execution system, and storing the first identification information and the second identification information in association with each other in a memory;
• transmitting, to the job execution system, a third request that specifies the second identification information to request status information indicating an execution status of the job, and storing the status information returned from the job execution system in association with the first identification information in the memory;
• obtaining, upon receiving a second request that specifies the first identification information to request the status information, from the first job management apparatus, the status information associated with the first identification information from the memory, and transmitting the status information to the first job management apparatus;
• and
• obtaining, upon receiving a fourth request specifying the first identification information from a second job management apparatus that has taken over a monitoring process of monitoring the execution status of the job from the first job management apparatus, the status information associated with the first identification information from the memory, and transmitting the status information to the second job management apparatus.
