Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a job network diagram creating apparatus according to the present invention. The job network diagram creation apparatus of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a directive statement analysis unit 2, a database information collection unit 3, a network information storage unit 4, a network editing unit 5, a job information database 6, a database information file 7, and network information. It is composed of a storage file 8. Then, the input device 1 such as a paper card device is connected to the instruction sentence analysis unit 2,
A display device 9 such as a CRT and an output device 10 such as a printer device are connected to the network editing unit 5.
The solid line indicates the processing flow, and the alternate long and short dash line indicates the information flow.

Next, the operation will be described.

In FIG. 1, the job information database 6
Is the job name, predecessor job name,
Stores information such as execution cycle, execution system name, operation start date, and exclusive job. Also, the database information file 7
Is the job name, output position, preceding / subsequent status on the output of each job in units of job network,
Stores information such as job status and line changes.

First, an execution command for a job network diagram creation process is input from the input device 1 as an instruction sentence or the like. Next, the directive statement analysis unit 2 receives the execution instruction, analyzes the instruction, and outputs the analysis result of the instruction. At this time, it is determined whether or not the processing of the database information collection unit 3 and the network information storage unit 4 is to be performed. Then, the database information collection unit 3 writes, from the job information database 6, information necessary for outputting the job network diagram regarding the job in the database information file 7.

Next, the network information storage unit 4 reads the database information file 7 and stores it in the network information storage file 8. The network information storage file 8 is a file for storing the job name, output position, status of preceding / subsequent lines on the output, job status, line change information, etc. of each job, and is the same as the database information file 7. , Information is stored for each job network unit.

Then, the network editing section 5 inputs the database information file 7, the network information storage file 8 or the job information database 6 and actually outputs it to the display device 9 or the output device 10.

The input file of the network editor 5 is
It can be changed by designating an instruction sentence, which will be described in detail in the description of FIG.

An example of creating a job network diagram will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The individual job information is stored in the job information database 6 in advance. However, in operation, a new job may be registered or the job information may be changed, so that determination is made (step 101). At this time, if the job information is changed, the job information database 6 is updated (step 108). Although the steps 101 and 108 are not directly related to the job network diagram creation processing, they have an influence on the job network itself and are appropriately performed.

In the actual job network diagram creation processing, it is first determined whether or not to use the existing network information storage file (step 102). When the existing file is used, the editing process necessary for outputting the job network diagram is performed (step 10).
6). The input of the network editing process at this time is the network information storage file 8 when the same information as before is output, and the job information database 6 when the preceding / subsequent relationship across the existing job network is output. Becomes the network information storage file 8.

If the existing file is not used,
The processing of the database information collecting unit 3 is performed (step 10).
3). At this time, it is determined whether or not the contents of the database information file 7 are stored in the network information storage file 8 (step 104). If the data is not stored, the network editing process is performed (step 106), and the database information file 7 is input as the input of the network editing process. In the case of storing, the network information storing process is performed (step 105), and the process proceeds to the network editing process. The input of the network editing process at this time is the network information storage file 8.

Finally, the network diagram is output (step 107), and the process ends.

In this way, in particular, by providing the network information storage unit 4 and storing the network diagram output information for each job network in the network information storage file 8, the same information already stored in the network information storage file is output. In this case, it is not necessary to recreate the network information, and the drawing process can be speeded up. Also, even if a new preceding / subsequent relationship occurs between existing job networks, the output information of each job network is stored in the network information storage file, and by using it, drawing processing can be saved. And can be speeded up.
