20140013099 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR - An extracting unit extracts, from a collection of procedure information sets individually indicating operating procedures for configuration modification of systems according to contents of the configuration modification, in which operating procedures specific information pieces of the individual systems have been replaced with individually corresponding variable names, a procedure information set indicating an operating procedure according to a content of the configuration modification to be applied to a modification-target system. A replacing unit replaces a variable name in the extracted procedure information set with a corresponding specific information piece of the modification-target system, which specific information piece is acquired from a configuration information set defining a configuration of the modification-target system. | 01-09-2014 |
20140222771 | MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND MANAGEMENT METHOD - A management device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor executes a process including: acquiring, from a plurality of devices, group information indicating a management group used to manage the devices and setting information indicating a setting item and setting content that are set in each of the devices; extracting a setting item corresponding to setting content that is common to devices included in a same management group indicated by the acquired group information; and creating, for the extracted setting item, a rule indicating that a common setting content is set to the devices included in the same management group. | 08-07-2014 |
20140297778 | EXECUTION CONTROL METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND EXECUTION CONTROL APPARATUS - An execution control method performed by a processor includes storing a first plurality of commands executed in the first computer and a first execution order in a memory; executing the first plurality of commands according to the first execution order when executed on the third computer; storing a second plurality of commands executed in the second computer and a second execution order in the memory; executing the second plurality of commands according to the second execution order when executed on the fourth computer; storing information generated by executing a command among the first plurality of commands and the second plurality of commands in the memory as configuration information each time the command is executed; and selecting a command among a first earliest command among unexecuted commands of the first plurality of commands and a second earliest command among unexecuted commands of the first plurality of commands, and executing the command. | 10-02-2014 |
20140298291 | CHANGE METHOD, APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A method performed by a computer, the method includes: determining a portion of a program run by a first information processing apparatus, the portion corresponding to a difference between first configuration information related to the first information processing apparatus and second configuration information related to a second information processing apparatus; and deciding a change type to be applied to the portion of the program, based on details of the difference. | 10-02-2014 |
20140380314 | MANAGEMENT SERVER, PATCH SCHEDULING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium has stored therein a patch scheduling program that causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes managing, aggregating, determining, and scheduling. The managing includes managing a system including a plurality of software that control a plurality of virtual machines. The aggregating includes aggregating virtual machines including a similar trend regarding a predetermined index thereof with a mutually-same virtual software. The determining includes determining a time period during which the virtual machines are to be moved, based on the trends of the virtual machines aggregated with the mutually-same virtual software and based on moving time of the move of the virtual machines to a different virtual software included in the plurality of virtual software. The scheduling includes scheduling applying a patch to each of the plurality of virtual software at the determined time periods. | 12-25-2014 |
20150019600 | COMPUTER PRODUCT, FILE IDENTIFYING APPARATUS, AND FILE EVALUATION METHOD - A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium stores a file evaluation program that causes a computer to execute a process including classifying, for each server group of a plurality of server groups, a plurality of files of a same name into a layer that is one of a plurality of layers, based on a matching degree of contents of the plurality of files, the plurality of files being stored in the server group; and extracting a first plurality of files having a same name, being classified into different layers, and being stored in different server groups among the plurality of server groups. | 01-15-2015 |
20150033212 | TESTING PROGRAM, TESTING METHOD, AND TESTING DEVICE - A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a test program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising: starting a test of a test-target program containing a plurality of modules by executing a plurality of individual tests, the plurality of individual tests being associated with the plurality of modules, respectively; generating test-relationships information that includes relationships between the plurality of individual tests based on module-relationships information including relationships of the plurality of modules; and in cases in which results of the plurality of individual tests include one or a plurality of specific results fulfilling a specific condition, specifying one or a plurality of additionally executing tests based on the one or plurality of specific results and the test-relationships information. | 01-29-2015 |
20150100579 | MANAGEMENT METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - In an information processing apparatus for managing a system including apparatuses classified into clusters, an acquiring unit acquires history records from a memory unit based on scheduled change information indicating a scheduled change in configuration information of apparatuses accounting for a first rate amongst apparatuses belonging to a particular cluster. Each history record includes content related to a change in the configuration information of at least one or more apparatuses amongst apparatuses belonging to the same cluster. The acquiring unit acquires, from the memory unit, history records each associated with a change in the configuration information of apparatuses accounting for a second rate amongst apparatuses belonging to the same cluster. The second rate satisfies a predetermined similarity relationship with the first rate. A predicting unit predicts, based on the acquired history records, an impact on the system due to implementing the scheduled change. | 04-09-2015 |
