Method, graphical interface and computer-readable medium for forming a batch job
First Claim
1. A method for configuring a batch job, comprising:
- selecting at least one input file to reformat in said batch job;
forming a batch job tree for constructing said batch job;
associating each of said at least one input file to a corresponding branch of said batch job tree; and
associating at least one reformatting process to each of said at least one input file in said each branch of said batch job tree.

Abstract
A method, graphical interface and computer-readable medium for forming a batch job includes selecting at least one input file to reformat in the batch job. A batch job tree is formed for constructing a batch job with each of the input files being associated to a corresponding branch of the batch job tree. At least one reformatting process is associated with each of the input files on each branch of the batch job tree. A graphical interface for configuring a batch job includes a first interface pane for displaying and enabling selection of at least one input file, a second interface pane configured for interactively configuring a batch job tree representative of the batch job, and a third interface pane for associating at least one reformatting process to each input file.

9. A graphical interface for configuring a batch job, comprising:
-
a first interface pane configured for displaying and enabling selection of at least one graphical element respectively corresponding to at least one input file for reformatting in said batch job;
a second interface pane configured for interactively configuring a batch job tree representative of said batch job, and associating each of said at least one input file to a corresponding branch of said batch job tree when said at least one graphical element respectively corresponding to said at least one input file in said first interface pane is selected and added to said second interface pane; and
a third interface pane configured for associating at least one reformatting process to each of said at least one input file in said each branch of said batch job tree when at least one graphical element respectively corresponding to said at least one reformatting process is moved from said third interface pane to said batch job tree of said second interface pane. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions thereon for performing the method for configuring a batch process, comprising:
-
selecting at least one input file to reformat in a batch job;
forming a batch job tree framework for constructing said batch job;
associating each of said at least one input file to a corresponding branch of said batch job tree framework; and
associating at least one reformatting process to each of said at least one input file in said each branch of said batch tree framework. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
