The operation planning device 17 is the monitored computer device 2
Create and maintain an operation plan, and simulate the created operation plan. The operation planning device 17 includes a plan creation unit 171, a plan storage unit 172, and a plan simulation unit 173.

The plan creating section 171 creates an operation plan for the monitored computer device 2 from the operation information input by the input device 11, and registers the operation plan in the plan storage section 172. Also, the input device 1
An operation environment for avoiding the failure of the monitored computer device 2 is created from the operation information for avoiding the failure inputted in Step 1,
It is registered in the plan storage unit 172. Further, it instructs the operation display device 12 to output the created operation plan and the operation environment for avoiding the failure to the output device 16.

The plan storage unit 172 holds the operation plan registered from the plan preparation unit 171 as an operation plan table. When an operation environment for avoiding a failure is registered from the plan creation unit 171, the operation plan table is updated and held. FIG. 3 shows an example of the operation plan table. The operation plan table of FIG. 3 includes a start time, an end time, a used application, a used data file, a used database, and a start time for each monitored computer 2 for each date.
It is composed of the items of connection computer device and connection network. Applications used, data files used, databases used as part of the items in the operation plan table,
The items of the connected computer device and the connected network are collectively held for each monitored computer device 2 and held as distribution information.
The distribution information is transmitted from the operation information distribution unit 152 to the monitored computer device 2.
The operation preparation of the monitored computer device 2 is performed based on the distribution information. When the operation environment for avoiding the failure is registered from the plan creation unit 171, new distribution information is formed and held.

The plan simulation unit 173 displays the operation plan or the operation environment for avoiding a failure inputted from the plan preparation unit 171 on the screen of the output device 16 via the operation display device 12. When displaying an operation plan, specific operation information in the operation plan can be extracted and displayed by designating conditions. When correction is necessary, the information on the screen is directly corrected, and the corrected information is reflected in the operation plan of the plan storage unit 172.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Here, the operation of the planning simulation section 173 different from that of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the plan simulation process.

The operation plan created by the plan creation unit 171 or the operation environment for avoiding a failure is input (step E).
1). An operation plan or an operation environment for avoiding a failure is displayed on the screen of the output device 16 via the operation display device 12, and the operator confirms the operation environment. At this time, conditions can be specified. For example, when 10:00 am is specified as the start time condition, the operation information of the monitored computer device 2 whose operation starts at 10 am is displayed (steps E2 to E3). If correction is necessary after the confirmation, the operator corrects the display information on the screen (steps E4 to E5). The corrected information is registered in the plan storage unit 172, and the plan storage unit 172 updates the operation plan table to form and hold new distribution information (step E).

The first effect is that the operation status and the fault status can be centrally monitored and controlled. The reason is that the present system can perform consistent instructions and control by linking operation management for managing operation start and operation end and failure management for managing failure.

The second effect is that the burden on the operator of the monitored computer device in the network management work is greatly reduced. The reason for this is that, as the network becomes larger or more complex, the burden of managing status determination and the like increases.However, this system allows the user to grasp the failure status and issue a determination instruction to the monitored computer device on the screen of the monitoring computer device. This is because it is possible to respond.
