Abstract:

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.
