Abstract
A method, and a system applying the method, for submitting an instance of a job for execution by a processor and monitoring the job instance using a state model, including the following steps. Fetching a job instance, the job instance having associated job instance activate information. Submitting the job instance to a processor. Registering the job instance activate information with a job queuing subsystem application program interface (API). Determining a state of the job instance, the job instance automatically and continuously monitoring the state while the job instance is running and when the state matches a predetermined state value the job instance submitting a subsequent job instance to the processor and registering the subsequent job instance activate information with the API. Reporting, by the API, the state of the job instance to an application. Implementing an action on the subsequent job instance based on the reported state.
