AUTOMATED INVALIDATION OF JOB OUTPUT DATA IN A JOB PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A computing system can provide user interfaces and back-end operations to facilitate review and invalidation of executed jobs. The system can provide an interface that allows the operator to review quality-control information about a completed job. Once the operator identifies a job as invalid, the operator can be presented with further options, such as whether to invalidate only the reviewed job or the job and all its descendants. The operator can also review antecedent jobs to an invalid job (e.g., in order to trace the root of the problem) and can selectively invalidate antecedent jobs.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
identifying, using one or more processors of a computing system, a first job and a set of one or more antecedent jobs of the first job, wherein each antecedent job in the set of one or more antecedent jobs has been executed to completion or failure and produced data that was directly or indirectly consumed by the first job; identifying, using the one or more processors, a second job in the set of one or more antecedent jobs, wherein the second job produced invalid data that was directly or indirectly consumed by the first job; identifying, using the one or more processors, a set of one or more descendant jobs of the second job, wherein each descendant job in the set of one or more descendant jobs has been executed to completion or failure and directly or indirectly consumed the invalid data produced by the second job; and invalidating, using the one or more processors, the second job and each descendant job in the set of one or more descendant jobs.
