Job Flow Failure Information Association Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing job flow control systems fail to provide appropriate information to users when failures occur during execution, especially when new plug-ins are added, as they treat such failures as unknown and lack relevant data for troubleshooting.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that stores failure information and associates unit processing units where failures occur with preceding units to generate new failure information, presenting this information to users and unifying similar failure data for easier understanding and management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If new plug-ins are added to job flow after release, then system adaptability is improved, but failure information availability deteriorates (unknown failures occur)
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing failure information and associating it with preceding unit processing units before the failure fully impacts the job flow. This preliminary capture ensures that even when new plug-ins are added after release, the failure information is already recorded and available for troubleshooting.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring failure information and automatically updating the association between unit processing units and their preceding units. This feedback loop ensures that failure information remains accurate and available even as the system evolves with new plug-ins being added.
2Measurement precision
If failure information is stored for all unit processing units, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges failure information storage with the existing unit processing unit structure by associating failure data with preceding unit processing units. This merging approach allows precise failure information storage without creating separate complex storage mechanisms, as the failure information is integrated into the existing job flow execution framework.

AI summary
An information processing device includes a processor, and the processor: stores failure information; when a failure occurs in a series of processes executed in accordance with a definition of an order of plural unit processing units, presents failure information corresponding to the occurred failure among the failure information stored in the processor to a user; and when the failure information stored in the processor does not include failure information corresponding to the occurred failure, associate a unit processing unit where the failure has occurred and a unit processing unit preceding the unit processing unit where the failure has occurred with each other to be stored in the processor as a new failure information.
