Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently generate a command line used in a nonroutine work procedure in a data center, for example, operating/managing a server system providing various types of business operation processing services to a plurality of customers. <P>SOLUTION: Complex work procedure information comprising a combination of a plurality of template commands and single work procedure information consisting of one template command are associated with each procedure name to be stored previously, while description information about parameters of the respective commands is stored previously. A procedure generation part 30 reads all of the stored procedure names to display a list of them on a display device, and procedure names selected from the list by a work operator are arranged and displayed in the selection order, while an input field and the description information about the parameters of the commands to be used in operation processing of the arranged procedures are displayed. When the work operator inputs inputted parameter values in the input field, a command line generation part 40 replaces the parameters of the commands and generates the command line to be used in the work of the procedure names selected sequentially via the input device by the work operator. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a command generation technique used for, for example, an operation business operation of a business processing computer system, and more particularly to a data center that operates and manages a server system that provides various business operation processing services to a plurality of customers. The present invention relates to a technique suitable for preventing the occurrence of a failure due to an operation error even when an operation work in which an atypical work procedure is generated in a command issuing work.

  There are a wide variety of types of business operations such as system maintenance and system changes for large-scale business systems in recent years, and the types and procedures of operations managed by the department in charge of operations have increased and become more complicated. ing. Therefore, in a standard work where the work procedure is established, the work procedure is made into a template to automate the work, thereby preventing manual work mistakes and improving work efficiency.

  As such a technique, for example, there is an automatic processing program for routine operations described in Patent Document 1. In this technology, commands issued in routine operations are automatically executed by registering the definition of the combination as a procedure as a task.

  However, with this technology, procedures that change the execution order of existing routine tasks, tasks that execute different commands, or tasks that have additional procedures (hereinafter referred to as “atypical procedures”) However, since it is not established, there is a problem that it cannot be registered in the procedure and cannot be automated.

  In this way, as a technology that realizes automation of system change work, the work (work operator) performs work before work by replacing the procedure for each work with the command execution procedure and defining it as a template. It is conceivable to create a script that is automatically executed by selecting and specifying necessary information.

  However, the work that can be made into a template is limited to a fixed work whose procedure is established, and an existing template cannot cope with the execution of an atypical procedure. Even in the technique described in Patent Document 1 described above, it is possible to automate a work by a procedure that defines a work procedure. However, the work cannot be handled unless the work is established.

  Although it is possible to realize automation by creating a new template for work with atypical procedures, this means that it is necessary to create a template even for work with low reusability. Is less effective.

  Furthermore, although it is possible to perform only the atypical procedure manually, this may cause an operation error such as an input error.

JP 2004-36211 A

  The problem to be solved is that in the conventional technology, for example, in a data center that operates and manages a server system that provides various business operation processing services to a plurality of customers, in a change work that issues a plurality of commands, etc. It is a point that the operation work in which this work procedure (atypical procedure) occurs cannot be automated.

  The object of the present invention is to solve these problems of the prior art, for example, a business processing computer that prevents a failure due to an operational error in an operational business using an irregular work procedure and provides various business operation processing services to a plurality of customers. This is to improve the reliability of the system.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, for example, a procedure in the operation work of a business system is defined by dividing it into a single procedure and a composite work procedure, and a template defining a composite work procedure and an execution defining a single procedure are defined. A command is converted into a part, a work procedure is generated prior to work, a command sequence corresponding to the generated procedure is generated, and automatic execution and execution control are enabled. Specifically, in an operation terminal or the like, a command sequence for executing a complex task with a routine procedure, information (parameters) that can be changed for each task in each command, and a task name associated with the command are stored and managed. To do. Similarly, a single work command that can be converted into a command and an argument (parameter) necessary for executing the command are stored and managed in association with the single work name. At the time of the operation work, the procedure names of selectable procedures are displayed and presented as candidates, the work procedure is edited according to the selection operation of the work operator, and an execution command string (script file) is generated. This makes it possible for an operator to generate a script file by selecting an existing template if the work that occurs during operation is a routine, and confirming the work procedure if the work is an atypical procedure. The work target range can be expanded. In addition, work procedure rule (specifying command execution order, combination, etc.) conditions are registered in the storage device as a policy in advance, and this condition / policy is checked when the work procedure is created. To prevent. For example, by registering a command to be issued after a specific command is issued, a warning message is displayed at the time of violation. As a result, for example, when changing the procedure and combination of an existing template when generating a work procedure, it is possible to prevent omission of a procedure that is required to be executed or addition of a work procedure that is prohibited from being executed. it can.

  According to the present invention, for example, in the operation / maintenance work of a server that provides a business processing service to a plurality of customers, a routine work can be created in advance as a template, a work name can be registered, and a command can be converted into a command. It is possible to automate the execution procedure by registering the work contents and commands to be issued for one work and editing and confirming the work procedure even when an atypical procedure occurs using the dedicated work procedure creation interface. Therefore, it is possible to reduce manual work, and work leakage and mistakes caused by the work.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a business operation work apparatus provided with a command sequence creation system according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a detailed example of work procedure information used in the system in FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a first detailed example of the work procedure policy used in the system in FIG. 1, FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a second detailed example of the work procedure policy used in the system in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 5F is an explanatory diagram illustrating first to sixth screen examples displayed on the display device by the system in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing operation procedure of a procedure creation unit of the system in FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing operation procedure of the command sequence generation unit of the system in FIG. 1, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a work command sequence created by the system in FIG.

  The business operation work apparatus in FIG. 1 generates command sequences for various business operation processing services executed on the work target server 2 by the operation terminal 1, and each of the operation terminal 1 and the work target server 2 includes a CPU. (Central Processing Unit), main memory, display devices such as CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), input devices such as keyboard and mouse, external storage devices such as HDD (Hard Disk Drive), etc. It has a computer configuration having

  In particular, the operation terminal 1 stores a program or data recorded on a CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) or a DVD (Digital Video Disc / Digital Versatile Disc) or the like in an external storage device via an optical disk drive or the like. After installation, this external storage device is read into the main memory and processed by the CPU, so that the function of the command sequence creation system according to the present invention, that is, the generation of work procedure command sequences including atypical procedures and control at the time of issuance are issued. It implements the function of each processing unit to perform.

  In FIG. 1, an operation terminal 1 includes an input device 11 for receiving procedure selection and parameter input from an operator, a display device 12 for displaying procedure contents and input contents, and further displaying and editing work procedures. A procedure creation unit 30 that performs processing, a command sequence creation unit 40 that creates a command sequence based on a procedure edited by the procedure creation unit 30, and a first storage that stores a predefined work procedure and a command associated therewith A device (described as “work procedure information” in the figure) 50, a second storage device (described as “command string parameter” in the figure) 100 for storing pre-defined parameter explanation information for each command, a procedure creation An intermediate result storage device (described as “work area” in the figure) 110 that stores data generated by the unit 30 during the editing process, and a command sequence generated by the command sequence generation unit 40 A command string storage device (described as “work command string (script file)” 70) in the figure, a policy storage device (condition “work” in the figure) that stores condition information that associates procedure names that need to be used in combination. ("Procedure policy") 105). The procedure creation unit 30 and the command string generation unit 40 are functions realized by processing of the CPU using a program.

  The work target server 2 receives the input command and controls the peripheral device 123 as a function realized by the CPU processing using the program together with the input device 21 and the display device 22 for receiving the generated command string. System management unit 120 including a peripheral device management unit 121 for performing operation management, and an operation management tool control unit 122 for performing setting change of the operation management tool, and a command sequence generated by the command sequence generation unit 40 by the operation terminal 1 A command issuance control unit 60 for controlling the issuance process.

  The procedure creation unit 30 in the terminal device 1 includes a display processing unit 31, a storage processing unit 32, and a policy check unit 33, and the command sequence generation unit 40 includes a procedure input unit 41 and a command sequence generation processing unit 42.

  The terminal device 1 having such a configuration includes, in the first storage device 50, combined work procedure information that is a combination of a plurality of predefined commands that cause the work target server 2 to execute a predetermined work process. In addition, single work procedure information composed of one templated command is stored in association with each procedure name, and in the second storage device 100, pre-defined parameter description information for each command is stored. Keep it.

  The display processing unit 31 in the procedure creating unit 30 reads out all procedure names from the first storage device 50 and displays them as a list on the screen of the display device 12, and the work operator inputs an input device from the displayed list. The procedure names selected in sequence via 12 are read out, arranged in the order of selection, and displayed on the screen of the display device 12.

  When the work operator performs a confirmation operation on the procedure names displayed in the order of selection by the display processing unit 31 in this manner, the storage processing unit 32 stores the procedure names in the intermediate result storage device 110. Remember.

  The display processing unit 31 reads out the description information of the parameter of the command used for the work process of the confirmed procedure name stored in the intermediate result storage device 110 from the second storage device 100 and displays it on the screen of the display device 12. Displays the parameter input field.

  When the operator inputs a parameter value using the input device 11 with reference to the description information in the input field displayed by the display processing unit 31 in this way, the storage processing unit 32 displays the input parameter value. The intermediate result storage device 110 stores the command in association with the command.

  In the command sequence generation unit 40, first, the procedure input unit 41 reads the confirmed procedure name stored in the intermediate result storage device 110, and then the command sequence generation processing unit 42 reads the procedure read by the procedure input unit 41. The command used for the name processing is read from the first storage device 50, and the parameter of the read command is replaced with the parameter value stored in the intermediate result storage device 110 in association with the command.

  In this way, the operation terminal 1 generates a command sequence used in the work of the procedure name selected in sequence by the work operator via the input device 11. The generated command sequence is stored in the command sequence storage device 70.

  Further, the operation terminal 1 stores condition information such as information relating to the order of each procedure name defined in advance and information associating procedure names that need to be used in combination in the policy storage device 105. For each procedure name displayed on the display device 12 by the display processing unit 31 according to the operator's selection, the policy check unit 33 determines whether the order and the combination are acceptable.

  For example, if the policy check unit 33 determines that there is another procedure name to be used in combination with the procedure name selected by the operator, the policy check unit 33 displays information indicating that, or displays another procedure name together with the displayed procedure name. It is displayed on the screen of the apparatus 12 and is subject to parameter assignment processing and command sequence generation processing, and if there is an inadequate selection order of procedure names of the operator, information indicating that fact is displayed.

  The command sequence generated in the operation terminal 1 and stored in the command sequence storage device 70 in this way is read and executed in the work target server 2. The command issuance control unit 60 in the work target server 2 includes a command string input unit 61, a server check unit 62, a return value check unit 63, a command input processing unit 64, and a command execution control unit 65.

  The command string input unit 61 reads the command string generated by the operation terminal 1 by the command string generation unit 40 from the command string storage device 70, and the server check unit 62 allows the server (2) to execute the operation of the command string. If it is an executable server, the command execution control unit 65 issues each command, and the command input processing unit 64 sends the command to the system management unit 120 to manage peripheral devices. Unit 121 and operation management tool control unit 122 are activated, a return value obtained as a result of the processing is input to return value check unit 63 via command input processing unit 64, and a return value check is performed. Confirm.

  Hereinafter, such processing contents will be described more specifically with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5A to 5F.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of registration of work procedure information 50 defined in the present system. The work procedure information 50 includes composite work procedure information and single work procedure information. Work category (“file update”, “DB update”,...), Procedure name representing the content of each work (“ini file update”, “hosts file update”, “data update”,...), Name of each work to be performed in that procedure (specific flow of work is shown: "[% 1] file is copied to [% 2] file, [% 1] time stamp [% 3] is confirmed. ”,“ Copy [% 1] file to [% 2] file, issue Ping [% 3] command ”,“ Update data in [% 2] table of [% 1] DB , [% 3] Results by log file ”) And specific command sequences corresponding to them (“ COPY% 1% 2, CHECKTIME% 1% 3 ”,“ COPY% 1% 2, COMMAND Ping% 3 ”,“ DBUPDATE% 1% 2, CHECKLOG% 3 ", ...), and parameters (variable information determined at the time of work, items entered by the operator and replaced with command strings .:"% 1: Copy source file path ,% 2: Copy destination file path,% 3: Time stamp ”,“% 1: Copy source file path,% 2: Copy destination file path,% 3: Name resolution confirmation host name ”,“% 1: Database name, % 2: Table name,% 3: Confirmation target log file ", ...) are registered.

  In addition, the single work procedure information includes a work category (“change status”, “DB change work”,...), And a procedure name (“server offline”, “server online”, “backup”) representing the work content. , ...), the name of the work to be performed by the command ("Take [% 1] server offline", "Take [% 1] server online", "Back up [% 1] DB", ..), commands to be issued ("OFFLINE% 1", "ONLINE% 1", "BACKUP% 1", ...), parameters ("% 1: offline target host name", "% 1: online target host") Name ”,“% 1: database name ”,...), And return values (“ 1 ”,“ 1 ”, 0 ", ...) are registered.

  In FIG. 3, the procedure creation unit 30 checks a work procedure policy (required order) for checking whether other work that must be performed before or after a specific work is leaked due to the order of the procedure when the procedure is created. (Rule) registration example.

  In FIG. 3, “procedure” is a procedure that is a policy check target (“server offline”, “data update”,...), And “target procedure” is in the same work procedure as a policy check target procedure. Represents the procedure that should exist in the server ("server online", "backup", ...), and in "order", determine whether the procedure is before or after the procedure subject to policy check .

  FIG. 4 shows a registration example of a work procedure policy (essential combination rule) for adding a work to be performed in combination with a work performed in the procedure by the procedure creation unit 30 at the time of creating the procedure.

  In FIG. 4, “procedure” is a procedure to be applied to a policy (“restore”,...), And “combination procedure” is a procedure to be executed in combination with the procedure to be applied (the “reboot”). ], ...).

  5A to 5F show a specific example of the procedure creation screen displayed by the procedure creation unit 30. FIG.

  A screen (A) in FIG. 5A represents an example of a screen necessary for creating a procedure. The “procedure list” in the left frame has a function of displaying a list of work procedure information registered in the composite work procedure information and the single work procedure information.

  By the operation on this screen (A), the work operator can select a desired procedure. The “work procedure” in the right frame has a function of displaying the “procedure” selected by the work operator from the “procedure list” in the left frame and added (pressing the button a in the screen).

  When a plurality of procedures are displayed in this “work procedure”, the work operator can change the work order by pressing the buttons b and c on the screen.

  When the operator presses the button d on the screen, the procedure in the order displayed in the “work procedure” is determined.

  Thus, the work operator can easily specify the target work procedure by changing the order and combination of the work procedures without being aware of the command itself used in the work.

  The screen (B) in FIG. 5B shows an example in the case where only one procedure is selected. When the work to be performed is one routine work, the work operator selects a desired procedure from the “procedure list” in the left frame of the screen (B), adds it to the “work procedure” in the right frame, and presses the button d on the screen. It is only necessary to press to confirm the procedure.

  A screen (C) in FIG. 5C shows an example in the case of confirming a work procedure for performing a plurality of work. When there are multiple tasks to be performed, the work operator selects a procedure corresponding to the task to be performed from the “procedure list” in the left frame and presses button a to add it to the “work procedure” column in the right frame. , Press button d to confirm.

  In the registration process to the “work procedure” in such screens (A) and (B), in this example, the policy check unit 33 performs a check as shown in FIGS. 5D and 5E.

  The screen (D) in FIG. 5D shows an example in the case where the “essential combination rule” is applied as the work procedure policy condition. When the operator selects a procedure defined in the work procedure policy ("essential combination rule") information from the "work list" and adds it to the "work procedure", the "mandatory combination rule" is applied and combined. Automatically add other steps that should be done.

  In the screen (D), “restore” is a procedure selected by the operator, and “reboot” is a procedure added by the policy check unit 33. As a result, it is possible to prevent work leakage during procedure creation.

  A screen (E) in FIG. 5E shows an example in the case where the “essential order rule” is applied as the work procedure policy condition. This “mandatory order rule” is checked when the procedure is confirmed. If a procedure defined by the “mandatory order rule” condition exists in the procedure added by the operator to the “work procedure”, the policy check is performed. Based on the information, the unit 33 checks whether or not the target procedure exists before and after the “work procedure”, and if the target procedure does not exist in the defined direction and violates the rule, the screen (E) A warning message is displayed in the dialog e.

  Instead of displaying such a warning message, the policy check unit 33 automatically adds the combination procedure to the “work procedure” and automatically adds it in the dialog e in the screen (E). It is also possible to display a message.

  A screen (F) in FIG. 5F shows a specific example of the parameter input screen. In the procedure creation technique in this example, it is necessary to input parameters for each procedure (information that can be changed for each operation) after the procedure is determined. Therefore, the procedure creation unit 30 performs work procedure information as shown in the screen (F). The input items defined in the above are displayed, and the operator is prompted to input specific values.

  In the example of the screen (F), there are “copy source file path”, “copy destination file path”, and “time stamp” as input items necessary for the execution of the work command with the work name “update ini file”. On the other hand, “C: ¥ TEST.txt”, “D: ¥ TEST.txt”, and “200507251630” are input by the work operator.

  In the screen (F) shown in FIG. 5F, when the operator presses the button e in the screen, the command sequence generation unit 40 is activated, and the command sequence generation processing unit 42 executes the corresponding command sequence (script file). Is generated.

  FIG. 6 shows a specific example of the operator's operation procedure until the procedure is determined by the procedure creation unit 30, and will be described below.

  The work operator selects a desired procedure from the “procedure list” in the left frame of the screens (A), (B), and (C) in FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C and adds it to the “work procedure” (step S401). . When there are a plurality of operations to be performed (step S402), the procedure corresponding to the operation to be performed is repeatedly selected and added from the “procedure list” (step S403), and for each procedure added to the “procedure list” Editing such as deletion or order change is performed (step S404).

  Thereafter, the policy check unit 33 performs a policy check in response to pressing of the confirm button operation by the operator (step S405). If there is no rule violation in the policy check (step S406), it is defined in the “procedure list”. The determined procedure is confirmed (step S407).

  Then, in order to input a parameter value necessary for a command used in each determined procedure, an input item registered in the second storage device 100 in association with the command is read, and a screen (F) shown in FIG. 5F is displayed. Is displayed, and the work operator inputs a specific parameter value (step S408).

  Thereafter, when the work operator depresses the button e on the screen (F), the command string generation unit 40 executes the process shown in FIG. 7 and executes the command string based on the work procedure created in the procedure shown in FIG. Is generated.

  That is, first, the procedure input unit 41 reads the work procedure created by the above-described procedure (step S501), and the command sequence generation processing unit 42 generates a command sequence based on the read work procedure.

  The command string generation processing unit 42 first reads a command corresponding to each work name defined in the read work procedure from the work procedure information 50 (step S502), and searches for a replacement character string from the command string (step S503). ).

  If a replacement character string exists (step S504), the parameter value input at the time of procedure generation in the procedure of FIG. 6 is replaced with the replacement character string of the command string (step S505), and the command is repeated for the number of parameters (step S506). 8), a command sequence having the contents shown in FIG. 8 is created and output to the command sequence storage device 70 as a work command sequence file (script file) (step S507).

  In FIG. 8, corresponding to the procedure name “ini file update” and procedure name “data update” in the composite work procedure information shown in FIG. 2, and the procedure name “backup” in the single work procedure information, FIG. An example of a command string replaced with each parameter value input on the screen (F) or the like is shown.

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8, in this example, the procedure in the operation work of the business system is defined by dividing it into a single procedure and a composite work procedure, and a template defining the composite work procedure An execution command that defines a single procedure is converted into a component, a work procedure is generated prior to work, a command sequence corresponding to the generated procedure is generated, and automatic execution and execution control are enabled.

  Specifically, in the operation terminal 1, an execution command sequence of a complex work having a routine procedure, information (parameters) variable for each work in each command, and work procedure information 50 in which work names are associated with them. Are stored in the storage device and managed.

  Similarly, a single work command that can be converted into a command and an argument (parameter) necessary for executing the command are stored in the storage device as work procedure information 50 in association with the single work name and managed.

  For example, when an atypical procedure work occurs, the procedure names of selectable procedures are displayed and presented as candidates, the work procedure is edited according to the selection operation of the work operator, and an execution command string (script file) is displayed. Generate.

  This makes it possible for an operator to generate a script file by selecting an existing template if the work that occurs during operation is a routine, and confirming the work procedure if the work is an atypical procedure. The work target range can be expanded.

  Also, work procedure rules (specifying command execution order, combinations, etc.) are registered in the policy storage device 105 in advance, and this condition / policy is checked when the work procedure is created. To prevent.

  For example, by registering a command to be issued after a specific command is issued, a warning message is displayed at the time of violation. As a result, for example, when changing the procedure and combination of an existing template when generating a work procedure, it is possible to prevent omission of a procedure that is required to be executed or addition of a work procedure that is prohibited from being executed. it can.

  As described above, according to this example, in the operation / maintenance work of a server that provides a business processing service to a plurality of customers, it is possible to create a procedure template and register a work name or command for a routine work in advance. Even for a single task, the work contents and commands to be issued are registered, and even when an atypical procedure occurs using the dedicated work procedure creation interface, the work procedure can be edited and confirmed to automate the execution procedure. It can be realized, and it is possible to reduce manual operation work work in the data center that operates and manages the server system, and omissions and mistakes caused by the work work.

  Thereby, it is possible to improve the reliability of a business processing computer system that provides various business operation processing services to a plurality of customers. Further, such a business processing system for a plurality of customers can be used for an outsourcing service for configuration change work in a shared use data center or the like equipped with an operation terminal for operation and maintenance.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the example demonstrated using FIGS. 1-8, In the range which does not deviate from the summary, various changes are possible. For example, in this example, the command generation technique used for the operation work operation of the business processing computer system has been described as an example, but it can be generally used to generate a command sequence that causes the computer to execute a predetermined work process.

  The computer configuration example of this example may also be a computer configuration without a keyboard or optical disk drive. In this example, an optical disk is used as a recording medium, but an FD (Flexible Disk) or the like may be used as a recording medium. As for the program installation, the program may be downloaded and installed via a network via a communication device.
