AUTOMATIC JOB OPERATIONAL SYSTEM BY UPS COOPERATION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make automatic job operation efficient by making it possible to confirm the priority of a quitting process in case of a power failure and operation state information at quitting time as to each job. SOLUTION: A job information registering means 101 registers the end priority, name, and reexecution necessity information of each job in a job information table 400 during system operation. If a power failure occurs, a job end priority retrieving means 102 detects respective execution jobs in the decreasing order of priority and a job operation state reference registering means 103 registers operation state information at quitting time of an execution job having 'information indicating that reexecution is necessary' set in the reexecution necessity information in a job operation state file 500. When the system is restarted, a reexecution job executing means 105 obtains the operation state information of the reexecution job detected by the reexecution job retrieving means 104 and starts the following processing of the reexecution job from the quitting point at the power failure time.
