Abstract

A recording medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process including: detecting an abnormality of a first job in a job group, which has an execution order defined in a job flow; determining, by referring to a memory that stores a condition for restarting the job flow and information which indicates a job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted in the job group, whether the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies a condition for restarting the job flow; and restarting, when determining that the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies the condition for restarting the job flow, based on information which indicates a second job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted, and is associated with the first job, the job flow from the second job as the starting point.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an information processing program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
detecting an abnormality of a first job in a job group, which has an execution order defined in a job flow;
determining, by referring to a memory that stores, in association with at least one job in the job group, a condition for restarting the job flow and information which indicates a job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted in the job group, whether or not the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies a condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job; and
restarting, in a case where it is determined that the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, by referring to the memory, based on information which indicates a second job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted, and is associated with the first job, the job flow from the second job as the starting point,
wherein the memory stores, in association with the first job, a condition for restarting the job flow and information which indicates a plurality of jobs as starting points from which the job flow is to be restarted in the job group, and in the restarting, it is determined about whether the detected abnormality of the first job is a specific type of abnormality and, in a case where it is determined that the detected abnormality of the first job is the specific type of abnormality, it is determined that the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, is satisfied, and, by referring to the memory, based on the information indicating the plurality of jobs as starting points from which the job flow is to be restarted, which is associated with the first job, the job flow is restarted from each of the plurality of jobs as the starting point,
wherein another job behind the second job serving as the starting point is executed in the execution order and, in accordance with the job flow, another job that is not executed among the other jobs in parallel with the second job serving as the starting point is executed.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 ,
wherein the condition represents a type of abnormality of the first job, and
in the determining,
by referring to the memory, in a case where a type of the detected abnormality of the first job coincides with the type of abnormality of the first job represented by the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, it is determined that the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 ,
wherein in a case where the abnormality of the first job is detected, in a case where by referring to the memory, it is determined that the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, does not exist, the job flow is restarted from any one job set in advance among the first job, a job immediately before the first job, and a head job of the job flow as a starting point.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 ,
wherein in a case where the abnormality of the first job is detected, in a case where by referring to the memory, it is determined that the detected abnormality of the first job does not satisfy the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, the job flow is restarted from any one job set in advance among the first job, a job immediately before the first job, and a head job of the job flow as a starting point.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the restarting,
in a case where it is determined that the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, after waiting until a predetermined operation input of a user is received, by referring to the memory, based on the information which indicates the second job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted, and is associated with the first job, the job flow is restarted from the second job as the starting point.

6. An information processing method comprising:
detecting an abnormality of a first job in a job group, which has an execution order defined in a job flow;
determining, by referring to a memory that stores, in association with at least one job in the job group, a condition for restarting the job flow and information which indicates a job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted in the job group, whether or not the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies a condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job; and
restarting, in a case where it is determined that the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, by referring to the memory, based on information which indicates a second job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted, and is associated with the first job, the job flow from the second job as the starting point,
wherein the memory stores, in association with the first job, a condition for restarting the job flow and information which indicates a plurality of jobs as starting points from which the job flow is to be restarted in the job group, and in the restarting, it is determined about whether the detected abnormality of the first job is a specific type of abnormality and, in a case where it is determined that the detected abnormality of the first job is the specific type of abnormality, it is determined that the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, is satisfied, and, by referring to the memory, based on the information indicating the plurality of jobs as starting points from which the job flow is to be restarted, which is associated with the first job, the job flow is restarted from each of the plurality of jobs as the starting point,
wherein another job behind the second job serving as the starting point is executed in the execution order and, in accordance with the job flow, another job that is not executed among the other jobs in parallel with the second job serving as the starting point is executed.

7. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
detect an abnormality of a first job in a job group, which has an execution order defined in a job flow;
determine, by referring to the memory that stores, in association with at least one job in the job group, a condition for restarting the job flow and information which indicates a job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted in the job group, whether or not the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies a condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job; and
restart, in a case where it is determined that the detected abnormality of the first job satisfies the condition for restarting the job flow, which is associated with the first job, by referring to the memory, based on information which indicates a second job as a starting point from which the job flow is to be restarted, and is associated with the first job, the job flow from the second job as the starting point,
wherein the memory stores, in association with the first job, a condition for restarting the job flow and information whi
