No. 59964 is disclosed. That is, the prior art aims to eliminate the necessity of managing the distribution destination of the definition information at the time of registering / updating the definition information, and to enable the related definition members to be distributed to the related distributed operation system. In a dictionary distributed operation management system of a system including a plurality of systems including a dictionary for integrally managing database information and system configuration information, and a DB / DC system managed by the dictionary, a plurality of systems are provided. A dictionary management information section that holds the distribution destination information of the dictionary and the distribution date and time, and manages the distribution destination information of the dictionary by its own dictionary management function of recording and updating the dictionary management information section of its own dictionary; and And its own dictionary management function It is a dictionary distributed management system for managing the dispersion distribution of Shonari.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned dictionary distributed operation management system of the prior art will be described. First, the dictionary management information section, which holds the distribution destination information of the dictionary and the distribution date and time, pre-records information on the distribution destination system and the distribution status, and based on the distribution information when updating the definition information. To determine the destination of the target system. As a result, in the definition information distribution management process, it is possible to perform the distributed operation management of the definition information without making the definition operator aware of the distribution destination each time, and to easily perform the definition operation by preventing an operation error. Can be. In addition, the distribution destination information of the dictionary is managed by the own dictionary management function that records and updates the dictionary management information section of the own dictionary, and the distributed management of the management item information is managed by the own dictionary management function. The definition management of the dictionary management information section can be performed using its own definition information management processing section, and there is no need to create a new control function. In addition, the necessity of distribution of the dictionary management information section to the distribution destination and the determination of whether distribution has been completed can be performed with reference to the distribution destination management information and the distribution management information. Can be prevented, and the definition information confirmed by the test / development system can be transferred to the production machine without omission, so that the consistency can be ensured in the distribution destination system. This also minimizes the amount of dictionary definition members to be distributed to other systems due to definition changes, and reduces the distribution time of definition members. Then, in a series of operations relating to definition member registration, consistency check, and generation of a directory required for execution by the DB / DC system, control for distributing related members to the distribution destination system at each operation stage. Can be explicitly given a time to reflect the distribution destination definition information, so that trouble shooting can be easily performed and recovery processing can be easily performed. it can.

According to such prior art, the distribution process of the definition members related to the definition operation to the plurality of distributed production systems from the test / development system can be performed without being aware of the distribution destination each time. An effect is disclosed in which the definition members can be distributed while maintaining the consistency of the definition members, and the number of maintenance steps in the distributed development operation of the definition members can be reduced.

[0005]

However, the prior art has the following problems. First, the first problem is that the test / development device requires an additional operation for updating the definition information. In particular, when the test / development device is introduced or the system is expanded, all the hosts (specifically, when the system is expanded) In
In the case where the (production machine side) is not started at the same time, it is necessary to perform an operation for changing the definition information every time the host is started. And the second problem is that
If the definition information of the entire system is modified while a certain host is stopped, there is a high possibility that when the stopped host is started, it operates with the old definition information before the modification.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to prepare definition information on a manager in advance and automatically execute the definition information on an activated agent. An object of the present invention is to provide a distributed integrated operation management system that enables updating.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a distributed integrated operation management system comprising: a single host for centrally managing definition information set for each host to specify various functions of the plurality of hosts; And at least one or more agents that are hosts to which the definition information is distributed. The manager receives a download request, which is an instruction for a request to distribute definition information from the agent, selects definition information to be distributed to the agent that transmitted the download request, and transmits the definition information to the agent. Each agent issues the download request to the manager when it starts up, holds the latest definition information distributed by the manager in response to the request, and refers to the latest definition information to serve as its own host. Redefine various functions. Here, "at the time of activation" means any time from when the agent is activated to when the definition information in its own definition information file is referred to.

[0008] Each agent can automatically obtain the latest definition information from the manager by transmitting a download request to the manager at the time of startup. Therefore, there is no possibility of accidentally operating with old definition information.

A distributed integrated operation management system according to a second aspect is a subordinate concept of the distributed integrated operation management system according to the first aspect. That is, the manager describes the definition information file holding the definition information and various information for specifying the agent as a location management table.
Receiving location management means and receiving download requests,
The location management unit is controlled to select the definition information to be distributed to the agent that sent the download request, and to output the file transfer request based on the definition information dispatch unit and the file transfer request output from the definition information dispatch unit. File transfer means for transmitting the definition information to the agent. Each agent
A definition information dispatch unit that issues a download request to the manager when the agent itself starts, a definition information file that centrally manages the definition information distributed from the manager, and the definition information transmitted from the file transfer unit on the agent side. File transfer means for outputting a write completion notification to notify the agent side of the completion of updating the definition information immediately after writing to the definition information file of the agent, reading the definition information written to the definition information file of the agent, and It is provided with definition information reference means operating according to the information, and process control means for immediately activating the definition information reference means in response to the write completion notification output from the file transfer means on the agent side.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a distributed integrated operation management system in which the file transfer means on the manager side in the distributed integrated operation management system according to the second aspect is subordinated. That is, the file transfer means transmits the file transmission process as a child process to the agent that has transmitted the download request, and executes the automatic distribution process of the latest definition information.

At the time of transferring the definition information, the file transfer means generates another process (file transmission process). This file transmission process reads the definition information and transfers the file to the agent. Such processing is intended to avoid the processing time required for reading / transferring a file, and to execute file transfer for a download request without waiting time when a new download request comes from an agent. It is valid. In other words, when the file transmission process is transferring definition information and a download request is received from another agent,
Create another file transmission process and transfer the definition information to another agent.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a distributed integrated operation management system in which the location management means in the distributed integrated operation management system according to the second or third aspect is subordinated. That is, the location management means describes and holds the transfer destination information for specifying the transfer range of the latest definition information from the manager as a parameter in the definition information file on the manager side.
The distributed integrated operation and management system according to claim 5 is the same as claim 4.
Is a subordinate concept of the location management means in the distributed integrated operation management system according to the above. In other words, the location management means performs at least three of a simultaneous distribution process to all agents, a distribution process to a specified agent, and a simultaneous distribution process to agents belonging to a specified group.
It has a configuration in which a type of transfer range can be defined as transfer destination information. Here, the “group” means a unit for operating each of a plurality of arbitrary agents with the same definition information.

[0013] By making the agents that perform the same operation belong to the same range, only the transfer range name needs to be specified, and there is no need to list the agent names.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a distributed integrated operation management system in which the definition information dispatching means on the manager side in the distributed integrated operation management according to any one of the second to fifth aspects is subordinated. That is, the download request includes a revision that is information for specifying the new or old creation of the definition information held by the agent. Then, the definition information dispatch unit compares the revision of the definition information centrally managed in the definition information file on the manager side with the revision of the definition information specified by the download request, and as a result of the comparison, both revisions are the same. In this case, it is determined that distribution of the definition information to the agent is not necessary, and processing is performed to prohibit the distribution of the requested definition information to the agent. It is determined that distribution of the definition information is necessary, and the processing of distributing the requested definition information to the agent is performed simultaneously and simultaneously for the agent.

If the definition information files in the manager and the download request issued by the agent have the same revision, the definition information is the same. In such a case, the definition information is not transferred.

The configuration of the present embodiment will be described in more detail. The manager 1, which is a single host that centrally manages the definition information, manages the definition information of all the agents 10,. The manager 1 has all agents 1
The definition information of 0,..., 18 is defined in the definition information file 7 together with the distribution destination, and the agents 10,.
18 at the time of activation of each agent 10,..., 1
8 downloads (distributes) the definition information defined in the definition information file 7 to each of the agents 10,..., 18 based on the predefined distribution information in response to the definition information download request 6 generated by each. I do.

Since the activation of each of the agents 10,..., 18 is normally performed asynchronously with the manager 1 according to the convenience of each of the agents 10,. ) Is successive to the download request 6 from each of the agents 10,..., 18, that is, the download request 6 from each of the agents 10,.
Is configured to be able to respond asynchronously.

The download request 6 issued by each of the agents 10,.
.., 18 each include the creation number of the definition information (that is, information that specifies the new or old definition information creation, also called “revision”). The manager 1 (definition information dispatch means 2) refers to the creation number (revision) of the definition information that is centrally managed in the definition information file 7 in the manager 1, and refers to the agents 10,.
Each of them is compared with the creation number (revision) of the definition information of the download request 6 issued, and as a result of the comparison, if the creation numbers (revisions) of both are the same, the definition information for each of the agents 10,. The download (distribution) is determined to be unnecessary, and the process of downloading the requested definition information to each of the agents 10,..., 18 is not performed. On the other hand, when the comparison result shows that the creation numbers (revisions) of both are different, the agent 10,
…, Download (distribution) of definition information to each of 18
, And 18 downloads the requested definition information to each of the agents 10,..., 18 simultaneously (simultaneously).

The manager 1 (definition information dispatch means 2) does not limit the process of downloading (distributing) the definition information only at the time of activation of each of the agents 10,..., 18; At the timing when each of the agents 10,..., 18 is connected (hereinafter referred to as operation), the processing of downloading (distributing) the definition information can be executed.

FIG. 2 shows a mapping operation in the location management means 3 to which the definition information file 7 is distributed. FIG.
In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a location management table, and reference numeral 22 denotes transfer destination information. Referring to FIG. 2, the transfer range of the definition information is defined as the transfer destination information 22 in the definition information file 7 of the present embodiment. Specifically, “(1) simultaneous download (distribution) to all agents 10,..., 18” and “(2) designated agents 10,.
8 download (distribution) and “(3) simultaneous download (distribution) to specified group” are defined as the transfer destination information 22, but are not particularly limited to this. Instead, it is possible to define a transfer range suitable for implementing the present invention.

The location management means 3 has the above-mentioned location management table 20 managed by the file transfer means 4. In this location management table 20, all agents 10,.
8 agent names (identifiers of groups performing the same operation) are defined, and in addition, the group names to which all the agents 10,..., 18 belong, and the activation of all the agents 10,. / Not activated (whether or not activated). For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the agent AG belonging to the group name GRP1
T1, agent A belonging to group name GRP1
It is stored that the GT2 and the agent AGT3 belonging to the group name GRP2 have been activated, and the agent AGT4 belonging to the group name GRP2 has not been activated.

Here, a group means a unit for operating a plurality of arbitrary agents 10,..., 18 with the same definition information. In this way, by making the agents 10,..., 18 that perform the same operation belong to the same group, the location management means 3 can specify only the group name without listing the agent names. It has the effect of becoming

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the manager, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the agent. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIGS.

Referring to FIG. 1, first, agent 1
0,..., 18 respectively,
Is the definition information dispatch unit 11 and the file transfer unit 1
2 is started (step 201 in FIG. 4). In response,
The definition information dispatching unit 11 issues (transmits) the definition information download request 6 to the manager 1 (step 202 in FIG. 4).

In response to this, in the manager 1, when the definition information dispatching means 2 receives the download request 6 from each of the agents 10,.
Step 101), referring to the definition information file 7 in the manager 1, controls the location management means 3 to select definition information to be downloaded (distributed) to each of the agents 10,.

More specifically, the manager 1 (definition information dispatching means 2) refers to the creation number (revision) of the definition information centrally managed in the definition information file 7 in the manager 1, and refers to the agents 10,. 18 is compared with the creation number (revision) of the definition information of the download request 6 issued by each of them (step 102 in FIG. 3). If the comparison shows that the creation numbers (revisions) of both are the same, the agent 10 of the definition information ,..., 18 are determined to be unnecessary, and the process of downloading the requested definition information to each of the agents 10,. Agent 10,
…, Download (distribution) of definition information to each of 18
, And 18 downloads the requested definition information to each of the agents 10,..., 18 simultaneously (simultaneously).

The manager 1 (definition information dispatching means 2) does not limit the process of downloading (distributing) the definition information only at the time of activation of each of the agents 10,..., 18; At the timing when each of the agents 10,..., 18 is connected (hereinafter referred to as operation), the processing of downloading (distributing) the definition information can be executed.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the manager 1 (definition information dispatching means 2) unconditionally transmits all the agents in the case of "(1) simultaneous download (distribution) to all agents 10,..., 18". Downloaded (distributed) to 10,..., 18 (steps 103, 104 in FIG. 3).

Also, "(2) the designated agent 10,
,..., 18 ”, the agent name is searched, and if the agents 10,..., 18 that have issued (transmitted) the download request 6 are described in the location management unit 3, The definition information corresponding to the download request 6 is downloaded (distributed) to the agents 10,..., 18 (step 10 in FIG. 3).
3, 105).

In the case of “(3) Simultaneous download (distribution) to designated group”, file transfer means 4
, 1 that have issued (transmitted) the download request 6 with reference to the location management table 20 managed by
8 belong to the group described in the location management means 3, download (distribute) the definition information corresponding to the download request 6 to all the agents 10,..., 18 belonging to the group ( FIG. 3 steps 103 and 106).

The definition information dispatching means 2 uses the location management means 3 to transfer the definition information to the agents 10,.
After it is determined that each file is downloaded (distributed), a file transfer request 5 is issued (output) to the file transfer unit 4. Specifically, the agent 10,
,..., 18 are activated or not activated with reference to the location management table 20, and the activated agents 10,.
), The definition information is not transferred to the unactivated agents 10,..., 18 (the activated / unstarted columns are marked with x).

In response, the file transfer means 4 reads the definition information from the definition information file 7 and transfers the definition information to each of the agents 10,..., 18 (step 107 in FIG. 3).

When transferring the definition information, the file transfer means 4
Generates another process (the file transmission process 8 in this embodiment). The file transmission process 8 reads definition information and transfers files to the agents 10,..., 18, respectively. Such a process is to execute the file transfer for the download request 6 without waiting time when a new download request 6 is received from the agent 18 in order to avoid processing time for reading / transferring the file. It is effective to do. That is, when the download request 6 is received from the agent 18 while the file transmission process 8 is transferring the definition information, the file transmission process 9 is generated and used to transfer the definition information to the agent 18. It is suitable.

In each of the agents 10,..., 18 after the file transfer means 12 completes the writing of the definition information into the definition information file 13 (step 20 in FIG. 4).
3, 204), and outputs a write completion notice 14 to the process control means 15 (step 205 in FIG. 4).

When the write completion notice 14 is input, the process control means 15 responds to this by
6 and 17 are started (step 206 in FIG. 4). As a result, the definition information reference means 16 and 17 can be started using the latest definition information immediately after the start.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, the first effect is that definition information is created in advance on the manager 1, and the latest definition information is automatically downloaded (distributed) without operating the manager 1 when each of the agents 10,. With such a configuration, the operability of the entire system can be improved. The second effect is that the latest definition information is downloaded (distributed) to each of the agents 10,..., 18 before the process of referring to the definition information on each agent 10,. By doing so, it is possible to prevent accidental operation with old definition information.

Next, the operation of changing the definition information of all the agents 10,..., 18 at once during operation will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The same parts as those already described in FIGS. 1 to 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram for explaining another operation of the distributed integrated operation management system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 26 denotes a definition information rereading instruction, reference numeral 28 denotes a definition information change instruction, and reference numeral 30 denotes a definition information writing completion notification.

Referring to FIG. 5, first, the manager creates new definition information in the definition information file 7 in the manager 1 and issues a definition information change instruction 28 to the definition information dispatching means 2 using a command ( Send.

Upon receiving the definition information change instruction 28, the definition information dispatching means 2 uses the location management means 3 to determine whether or not the definition information in the definition information file 7 is to be downloaded (distributed). , 18 units. Subsequently, the definition information is transferred to each of the agents 10,..., 18 through the same processing described with reference to FIGS.

When the writing of the definition information to the definition information file 13 is completed, the file transfer means 12 of the agents 10 and 18 outputs a write completion notification 30 to the definition information dispatching means 11.

Upon input of the write completion notice 30, the definition information dispatching means 11 receives
17, and outputs a definition information re-reading instruction 26 for each of them. When each of the definition information reference means 16 and 17 receives the definition information reload instruction 26, it reads new definition information from the definition information file 13 and operates based on the definition information.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to each of the above embodiments, and each embodiment can be appropriately modified within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. In addition, the number, position, shape, and the like of the constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be set to numbers, positions, shapes, and the like suitable for carrying out the present invention. In each drawing, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0052]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. First, the first effect is that the definition information is created in advance on the manager, and the latest definition information is automatically distributed without operating on the manager when each agent is started. The operability as a whole can be improved. The second effect is that the latest definition information is distributed to the agent before the process of referring to the definition information is started on the agent, so that the agent operates erroneously with the old definition information. That can be prevented.

According to the distributed integrated operation management system according to the third aspect, by transmitting the file transmission process as a child process to the agent that has transmitted the download request, the download request is transmitted from another agent while the definition information is being transferred. In this case, since another file transmission process can be generated and the definition information can be transferred to another agent, the file transfer for the download request can be executed without waiting time.

According to the distributed integrated operation management system according to the fourth or fifth aspect, by using the transfer destination information for specifying the transfer range of the definition information, it is not necessary to list the agent names if only the transfer range name is specified. Therefore, the configuration of the download request can be simplified.

According to the distributed integrated operation management system of the present invention, if the definition information file in the manager and the definition information of the download request issued by the agent are the same, the definition information is not transferred. Since unnecessary transfer can be prevented, the load on the network can be reduced.
