  • Method and system for traversing in reverse chronological order along a critical path of a plurality of jobs, and reducing time gaps between jobs until an estimated end time of the last job is less than or equal to a target end time
    Patent number: 8473951
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved batch flow management are described. At least some embodiments include a computer system for managing a job flow including a memory storing a plurality of batch queue jobs grouped into Services each including a job and a predecessor job. A time difference is the difference between a scheduled job start time and an estimated predecessor job end time. Jobs with a preceding time gap include jobs immediately preceded only by non-zero time differences. The job start depends upon the predecessor job completion. The computer system further includes a processing unit that identifies jobs preceded by a time gap, selects one of the Services, and traverses in reverse chronological order a critical path of dependent jobs within the Service until a latest job with a preceding time gap is identified or at least those jobs along the critical path preceded by another job are traversed.
