Abstract
A method and associated system for continuously optimizing data archive management scheduling. A flow network is modeled, which creates vertexes organized in multiple levels and creating multiple edges sequentially connecting the vertexes of the multiple levels. The multiple levels consist of N+1 levels denoted as LEVEL, LEVEL, . . . , LEVEL, wherein N is at least 2, wherein LEVELincludes a source vertex, wherein LEVELincludes at least one task vertex associated with at least one archive management task, wherein EDGEis directed from the vertex of LEVELto the vertex of LEVELfor K=1, . . . , N, wherein EDGEindicates that a first task associated with a first task vertex of LEVELis scheduled by a job scheduler, and wherein EDGEhas a first weight equal to a time unit to perform the first task.
