Managing Job Execution

摘要

This disclosure describes monitoring the execution of jobs in a work plan. In an embodiment, a system maintains a risk level associated with the critical job to represent whether the execution of a job preceding the critical job has a problem, and it maintains the list associated with the critical job so as to quickly identify the preceding job which may cause a delay to the critical job execution.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving a workload plan of jobs, wherein the workload plan of jobs includes a critical job and a predecessor job, wherein the predecessor job must complete execution before the critical job can begin execution, and wherein the critical job must be completed by a deadline; monitoring execution of jobs in the workload plan; receiving the execution status of the predecessor job, wherein the execution status of the predecessor job corresponds to at least one of a job event or an infrastructure event; detecting a delay condition for the predecessor job; determining an ability of the critical job to complete its execution before the deadline based on an execution status of the predecessor job; and updating a risk level associated with the critical job based on the determination of the ability of the critical job to complete its execution before the deadline; wherein the critical job and the predecessor job are in a critical path comprising one or more successor jobs which are successors to said predecessor job and must complete execution before the critical job can begin execution.
