Early detection and avoidance of mainframe job errors - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17932908 titled 'Early detection and avoidance of mainframe job errors
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system that processes mainframe jobs by extracting necessary information, detecting unavailable files or tables, and placing jobs on hold until the required data is available.
- The system includes a memory and processor for processing mainframe jobs.
- Information related to the mainframe job is extracted, such as data files, file attributes, and database tables.
- If any of the required files or tables are unavailable, the job is placed on hold.
- The system monitors the availability of the missing files or tables.
- Once the necessary data is available, the mainframe job is processed.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in industries that rely heavily on mainframe systems, such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications.
Problems Solved
This system solves the problem of processing mainframe jobs efficiently by automatically detecting and handling missing data, reducing delays and errors in job processing.
Benefits
The system improves workflow efficiency by automating the detection and handling of missing data, reducing manual intervention and potential errors in job processing.
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in developing software solutions for mainframe job processing in various industries.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that automate job processing in mainframe environments, but may not specifically address the detection and handling of missing data files or tables.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system prioritize which mainframe jobs to process first when multiple jobs are on hold due to missing data?
The system may have a built-in algorithm that prioritizes jobs based on factors such as deadline, importance, or resource availability.
What measures are in place to ensure the security and integrity of the extracted data during the processing of mainframe jobs?
The system may have encryption protocols, access controls, and data integrity checks to safeguard the extracted data during processing.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes a memory and a processor configured to receive a request to process a primary mainframe job and extract information related to the primary mainframe job, wherein the extracted information includes one or more of data files, file attributes and database tables needed to process the primary mainframe job. The processor detects that one or more of the files, the file attributes and the database tables is unavailable, and in response, places the primary mainframe job on hold. The processor monitors availability of the one or more unavailable files, file attributes or database tables and in response to detecting that the one or more unavailable files, file attributes or database tables is available, processes the primary mainframe job.
