20090048807 | PERFORMANCE ABNORMALITY ANALYSIS APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROGRAM, AND ANALYSIS RESULT DISPLAY METHOD FOR PERFORMANCE ABNORMALITY ANALYSIS APPARATUS - In determining a condition of a case under which the occurrence rate of the performance abnormality is high based on information related to a resource utilization situation acquired in a resource utilization situation acquisition step and an occurrence frequency of a request acquired in a request occurrence frequency acquisition step, and information related to the existence/nonexistence of the performance abnormality determined in a performance abnormality existence/nonexistence determination step, when branching a parent node that represents a situation of a decision tree to two child nodes using the method of decision tree, the decision tree is generated using an evaluation function which performs branching such that most of normal samples which belong to the parent node are contained in the one child node, and most of abnormal values which belong to the parent node are contained in the other child node. | 02-19-2009 |
20090299936 | POLICY CREATING APPARATUS, POLICY CREATING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PRODUCT - A policy integrity validating unit validates whether a system model can achieve an objective set up in a policy without violating a constraint set up in the policy when a system model is operated according to a procedure set up in the policy. When the policy integrity validating unit determines that there is no integrity between a policy created by a system administrator and the system model, an alternate policy creating unit creates an alternate policy that replaces the policy created by the system administrator. Upon receipt of the alternate policy, the policy integrity validating unit validates integrity between the alternate policy and the system model. When the policy integrity validating unit determines that there is integrity between the alternate policy and the system model, a policy creating apparatus presents the alternate policy to the system administrator. | 12-03-2009 |
20100070422 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR WORKFLOW DEFINITION ALTERATION - A computer readable storage medium has stored therein a workflow-definition alteration program. The workflow-definition alteration program is for presenting a workflow definition including process procedures, policies, and constraints. The workflow-definition alteration program causes a computer to execute a process which includes: receiving the process procedures, the policies, and the constraints; generating a state transition model for execution of workflows corresponding to the process procedures, by using the process procedures and the policies received; determining whether a constraint violation occurs when the workflows are executed, by using the state transition model generated and the constraints received; altering any one or some of the process procedures, the policies, and the constraints when it is determined in the determining that the constraint violation occurs; and presenting, when alteration is applied in the altering, a workflow definition including the process procedures, the policies, and the constraints applied with the alteration as an alternative workflow definition. | 03-18-2010 |
20110010587 | SYSTEM OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, SYSTEM OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT METHOD - A system management procedure combines operations for performing operation management in a computer system, the system management knowledge capable of specifying a post-status of each constituent element of the computer system, the post-status being expected as a result that the operations are executed in accordance with the system management procedure, are previously stored in databases. Then, it is judged that a failure occurs, when an actual state of the computer system as a result that the operations are executed based on the system management procedure, is inconsistent with the expected post-status. When the failure occurred, a revising method capable of making the actual state of the computer system as the result that the operations are executed in the system management procedure, to be consistent with the expected post-status, is derived to be proposed. | 01-13-2011 |
20110066889 | TEST FILE GENERATION DEVICE AND TEST FILE GENERATION METHOD - A test file generation method for generating a test file for testing a consistency of a work process includes receiving various types of definition information relating to various types of procedures included in the work process, execution sequence of the various types of procedures, a final goal that is a goal that is finally achieved in the work process, sub-goals that are goals that are achieved in the various types of procedures, a constrained condition that is observed when the various types of procedures are executed, an executioner who executes the various types of procedures, and an authority for determining a procedure that can be executed by the executioner, generating a definition file on the basis of the various types of definition information received, and generating a test file that indicates a behavioral model when the work process is executed on the basis of the definition file generated. | 03-17-2011 |
20110138397 | PROCESSING TIME ESTIMATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A processing time estimation method for estimating a processing time of each of a plurality of jobs, the processing time estimation method including determining, executed by a computer, whether the each job has a preceding job thereof on the basis of previous execution data including previous information of a plurality of previous start times and previous finish times of respective jobs of the plurality of jobs, the preceding job of the each job being included in the plurality of jobs and at least having the previous finish time earlier than the previous finish time of the each job. | 06-09-2011 |
20110154360 | JOB ANALYZING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A job analyzing method includes classifying jobs in log data in accordance with a time segment to which an end time of each of the jobs belongs; generating, for first jobs included in a first time segment, first data indicating an execution sequence relation between the first jobs based on end time of the jobs, and generating, for second jobs included in a second time segment succeeding the first time segment, second data indicating an execution sequence relation between the second jobs based on end time of the second jobs; and analyzing an execution sequence relation between the first and second jobs based on the end time of the first jobs and the end time of the second jobs, and generating data indicating the execution sequence relation between the first and second jobs across the first and second time segments. | 06-23-2011 |
20110185236 | COMMON TROUBLE CASE DATA GENERATING METHOD AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING COMMON TROUBLE CASE DATA GENERATING PROGRAM - A method of generating common trouble case data for managing a plurality of systems. The method includes (a) obtaining first identifiers of actual system components and a second identifier of a template from a system data storage unit, (b) obtaining third identifiers of definitional system components from a template data storage unit on the basis of the second identifier, (c) selecting, by a computer, a first identifier subset among the first identifiers on the basis of the third identifiers, and (d) selecting, by the computer, a first trouble case data subset among a plurality of first trouble case data pieces on the basis of the first identifier subset to generate the common trouble case data.
