Method for generating policy rules and method for controlling jobs using the policy rules

摘要

In an information processing system for executing administration of execution of jobs by using policy rules, generating policy rules optimum for the information processing system is provided. Policy rules to be set job by job are determined not by an input person of each job but by a system manager of information processing system. For each job scheduled to be executed, an action for always minimizing an amount of loss throughout the information processing system is determined in respect of a combination of a time at which a possible event occurs and a type of the event and the action is set as a policy rule. By taking the occurrence time and type of an event such as a fault into account, a policy rule can be generated which is adapted to perform carefully thought out, optimum automatic administration for minimizing the loss amount throughout the information processing system without fail.
