  The CPU 101 controls the information management server 100 as a whole. Specifically, the CPU 101 writes data to the HDD 104 via the bus 106 or the like, and reads data from the HDD 104. As a result, the data in the HDD 104 for which data registration / update and reference requests in the HDD 104 have been requested are presented. In addition, the CPU 101 manages the data stored in the HDD 104 by expanding and executing the program stored in the ROM 102 on the RAM 103. The details of the operation for managing data by the CPU 101 will be described later.

The HDD 104 is composed of a magnetic storage device having a predetermined capacity corresponding to the IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) standard, for example. The HDD 104 is controlled by the CPU 101, stores data, and supplies the stored data to the client device 107 and the like.
The HDD 104 stores hierarchical information that defines a file structure of data and the like in addition to data such as shared information in a company. For example, when data such as shared information in a company has a file structure as shown in FIG. 2, hierarchical information defining these file structures is stored.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the distribution database 201 is stored in the lower hierarchy of the directory “¥ Domino ¥ Distribution ¥”. In addition, directories such as aaa \, bbb \, and ccc \ are provided below the \ Domino \ Data \ directory, and various databases 202 are stored below each directory.

  The distribution database 201 stores in a rewritable manner one or more predetermined command commands for instructing the data stored in the database 202 to be duplicated or overwritten. Further, the distribution database 201 also stores rewritable destination information corresponding to which directory (for example, aaa \ directory) to which this command is distributed.

  The command command / distribution destination information is created, for example, according to the operation of the keyboard 506 and mouse 507 of the client device 107, transmitted to the information management server 100 via the network 108, and stored in the distribution database 201.

Specifically, the distribution database 201 includes a table H301 as shown in FIG. In the row where the command command distributed to the database 202 is stored, 1 indicating that the command has been distributed is stored correspondingly, and in the command command row that has not been distributed, 0 indicating that the command has not been distributed is stored. Then, the distribution destination directory and the command are stored in association with each other. Here, the command is distributed to the database A202 of each directory.
Further, the command commands may be distributed to all the directories at once without distributing the command commands distributed for each directory.

  Further, for example, a plurality of databases 202 such as A, B, and C are prepared as shown in FIG. For example, each database A202 stored in the lower hierarchy of each directory is a database that stores command commands in a rewritable manner. Further, the other databases 202 (for example, the database B and the database C) stored in the lower hierarchy of each directory are used as databases for storing various information such as salaries and working hours of employees in the organization in a rewritable manner.

  The instruction command stored in the database A 202 is an instruction command distributed from the distribution database 201. The various information stored in the database B202 and the database C202 is created according to the operation of the keyboard 506 and the mouse 507 of the client device 107, for example, and transmitted to the information management server 100 via the network 108, and is stored in the database B202 and the database C202. Stored.

  Specifically, the database 202A includes a table A302 as shown in FIG. The command command distributed from the distribution database 201 is stored in each row. The CPU 101 stores a command line that has already been executed in correspondence with 1 indicating execution, and stores an unexecuted instruction command line in correspondence with 0 indicating non-execution.

Specifically, the database B202 and the database C202 are configured by a table B303 as shown in FIG. Each row of the table B303 stores various types of information such as employee numbers and salaries in the organization in association with each other. When the CPU 101 executes each program stored in the ROM 102, the data content recorded in each database 202 can be freely processed.
Further, the table B303 illustrated in FIG. 3C is a table for two columns, but may have any number of columns.

  The ROM 102 is a non-volatile memory that stores a program and the like for the CPU 101 to control the entire information management server 100. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the ROM 102 stores programs (data) that do not need to be rewritten, such as a management program 401, a distribution program 402, and a path / file name acquisition program 403.

  A bus 509 is a transmission path for transferring commands and data among the CPU 501, RAM 502, ROM 503, HDD 504, display 505, keyboard 506, mouse 507, and I / F 508.

  The configurations of the information management server 100 and the client device 107 according to the present embodiment have been described above.

Next, specific operations of the information management server 100 and the client device 107 having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of processing for registering an instruction command in the distribution database 201 and distributing the instruction command to each database 202.
The CPU 101 of the information management server 100 starts the distribution process when receiving an access signal from the client device 107 or the like to the distribution database 201.

  The CPU 101 expands the management program 401 stored in the ROM 102 in the RAM 103. Then, the CPU 101 expands the distribution program 402 stored in the ROM 102 in the RAM 103 in accordance with the management program 401. Therefore, according to the distribution program 402, the CPU 101 stores the command command and distribution destination information supplied from the client device 107 via the network 108 in the distribution database 201 as the data contents of the table H301 (step S101).

  The CPU 101 refers to the table H301 and distributes (duplicates) the undelivered command command stored in each row to the database A202 belonging to the designated directory (step S102). At this time, the CPU 101 rewrites the line storing the distributed command command as distributed. Specifically, the value of the column for determining delivery is rewritten from 0 to 1.

  Through the above processing, the command commands input from the client device 107 can be stored in the database A 202 belonging to all the specified directories. This eliminates the need for the user to input a command command many times.

  Next, the CPU 101 starts a path / file name acquisition process according to the management program 401 loaded in the RAM 103 (step S103). Specific processing operations for this path / file name acquisition processing will be described later.

The CPU 101 acquires the file name and path of the database A 202 belonging to each directory by executing the path / file name acquisition process in step S 103, and stores them in the HDD 104.
Then, the CPU 101 sequentially executes the command of the database A202 belonging to each directory according to the management program 401 (step S104). When the CPU 101 executes this command, the data contents of the other databases B and C202 belonging to the same directory are processed / corrected.

  Specifically, for example, the salary of employees in the organization is stored in the database B202 in association with the employee identification number, and the total working hours of the employee is stored in the database C202 in association with the employee identification number. Keep it. Then, the command command stored in the database A202 is sequentially executed to calculate the salary corresponding to the total working time in the database C202, and the calculation result can be overwritten on the database B202. Of course, not limited to this process, any process can be performed.

  At this time, the databases B and C202 are created and searched only in the lower hierarchy of the directory defined by the path acquired in step S103. Thereby, interference / association with data belonging to a lower hierarchy of another directory can be eliminated.

  The file names of the databases B and C202 are unified with the same name under each directory. Thereby, the command command distributed in step S102 can be executed as it is under each directory. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the file names of the databases B and C202 may be different names under each directory. If the name is different under each directory, it is necessary to respecify the file name of the file to be processed by the instruction command distributed in step S102.

Next, a specific operation of the path / file name acquisition process in step S103 of the flowchart of FIG. 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The CPU 101 starts a path / file name acquisition process in step S103 of FIG. 6, and expands the path / file name acquisition program 403 stored in the ROM 102 in the RAM 103 according to the management program 401 (step S201).

  The CPU 101 acquires the file name of the database A202 according to the path / file name acquisition program 403 (step S202). Specifically, it is obtained by calling a function or the like for obtaining a file name provided in the platform.

  Next, the CPU 101 acquires the path of the database A202 according to the path / file name acquisition program 403 (step S203). Specifically, it is obtained by calling a function for obtaining a path provided in the platform.

  The file name and path of the database A202 acquired in step S202 and step S203 are stored in the HDD 104 to create the necessary databases B, C202, etc. (step S204), or in the database 202 that has already been created. Make it visible when searching for data. Thereafter, the CPU 101 ends the path / file name acquisition process.

  By executing the above processing by the CPU 101, the information management server 100 according to the present embodiment can efficiently use the resources of the server, the cost can be suppressed, the load on the operation of the administrator is reduced, and the data It is possible to protect against loss and leakage.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible.

  For example, the HDD 104 in the above embodiment may be configured by other storage media or various large-capacity storage media that will be developed in the future.

  In the above embodiment, the programs executed by the CPU 101 and the CPU 501 are stored in the ROM 102, the ROM 502, and the like in advance. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the information management server 100 and the client device 107 according to the above embodiment can be applied by applying a program for executing the above-described processing to an existing information management server and client device. It may be made to function as.

  The method of providing such a program is arbitrary. For example, the program may be provided via a communication medium such as the Internet, or may be stored and distributed in a recording medium such as a memory card.
