  Conventionally, there is software for managing the version and configuration of a module in one environment. However, when synchronizing modules between environments having different configurations, the administrator manually synchronizes module differences. For example, when a module verified in a verification environment during enhancement is deployed in a production environment, the module deployment is manually identified, so there is a possibility that a deployment failure or a deployment mistake may occur.

  In one aspect, the present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to reduce module deployment omissions and deployment errors even in a plurality of environments having different configurations. To do.

  According to the above configuration, the correspondence information is referred to when the difference between the modules deployed in the production environment and the verification environment is extracted. Here, the correspondence information indicates a correspondence relationship between the module location information in the production environment and the module location information in the verification environment. Therefore, even in an environment where the production environment and the verification environment have different configurations, according to the above configuration, the difference between the modules deployed in the production environment and the verification environment can be extracted.

It goes without saying that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. That is, in implementing the present invention, a specific configuration according to the present embodiment may be employed as appropriate.

§1 Information processing apparatus FIG. 1 illustrates a scene where the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment manages modules in a plurality of environments. The information processing apparatus 1 is connected to each environment via a network and manages the configuration of each environment. The network connection between the information processing apparatus 1 and each environment is appropriately selected according to the embodiment.

  The information processing apparatus 1 acquires correspondence information indicating a correspondence relationship between the module location information in the production environment and the module location information in the verification environment for verification of the production environment. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 refers to the acquired correspondence information, extracts the difference between the module deployed in the production environment and the module deployed in the verification environment, and sets the module deployed in the production environment and the verification environment. Outputs difference information indicating the extracted difference from the deployed module.

  The production environment is an environment in which a system related to service provision is operating. The verification environment is an environment for verifying the operation of the system related to service provision in the production environment. These environments are constructed by, for example, one or a plurality of servers. In the present embodiment, since correspondence information described later exists, the production environment and the verification environment may be configured with different numbers of servers.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 1 refers to the correspondence information when extracting the difference between the modules deployed in the production environment and the verification environment. Here, the correspondence information indicates a correspondence relationship between the module location information in the production environment and the module location information in the verification environment. Therefore, even in an environment where the production environment and the verification environment have different configurations, the information processing apparatus 1 can extract a difference between modules deployed in the production environment and the verification environment. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 outputs difference information indicating the extracted difference.

  Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can reduce module deployment omissions and deployment errors even in a plurality of environments having different configurations.

  In FIG. 1, two environments of a verification environment A and a verification environment B are illustrated as verification environments. However, the number of verification environments may be one, or three or more.

<Configuration example>
FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a storage unit 11, a control unit 12, an input / output unit 14, a communication unit 15, and the like that are connected to the bus 13 as a hardware configuration.

  The storage unit 11 stores various data and programs used in processing executed by the control unit 12 (not shown). The storage unit 11 stores setting information 21, correspondence information 22, and history information 23. The storage unit 11 is realized by a storage device such as a hard disk or a flash memory, for example.

  The setting information 21 is information relating to the setting of each environment. The setting information 21 includes, for example, information defining each environment, information indicating the configuration in each environment, location information indicating the location (path) of the module in each environment, and the like.

  The location information of the modules in each environment is, for example, a tree structure including a subtree having a node indicating the production environment as a root node and a subtree having a node indicating the verification environment as a root node, and indicating the verification environment The subtree whose root node is the node that indicates the production environment is not included, the node that indicates the module deployed in the verification environment is included as a leaf node, and the subtree whose root node is the node that indicates the production environment Is represented by a tree structure in which a node indicating a verification environment is not included and a node indicating a module deployed in the production environment is included as a leaf node.

  FIG. 3 illustrates a method for expressing location information according to the present embodiment. The module location information in each environment according to the present embodiment is represented by a tree structure that can be classified into a vertex hierarchy, a service name management hierarchy, an environment name management hierarchy, a server name management hierarchy, and a module path management hierarchy.

  In the vertex hierarchy, one node (root node) is defined for the entire plurality of environments to be managed. In the service name management hierarchy, a service provided by the production environment and a node for each project unit are defined. In the environment name management hierarchy, each node of the environment such as the production environment and the verification environment is defined for each service and project defined in the service name management hierarchy. In the server name management hierarchy, for each environment defined in the environment name management hierarchy, a server node included in the environment is defined. In the module path management hierarchy, for each server defined in the server name management hierarchy, a module node (leaf node) included in the server is defined.

  That is, a node related to the module path management hierarchy expresses module location information in each environment as information indicating a path. In the present embodiment, the location of the module is specified by the location information expressed in this way. In the hierarchy excluding the vertex hierarchy, a plurality of nodes can be defined.

  In the existing configuration management tool, since the vertex hierarchy is associated with the environment, the configuration between a plurality of environments cannot be managed. The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment expresses each environment as shown in FIG. 3 and uses correspondence information 22 to be described later, thereby enabling configuration management between a plurality of environments.

  Note that the method of expressing the location of a module in each environment shown in FIG. 3 can also be applied to an existing configuration management tool. That is, by using the expression method shown in FIG. 3 as the module expression method in the existing configuration management tool, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can be realized using the existing configuration management tool. It is.

  FIG. 4 illustrates the correspondence information 22 according to the present embodiment. The correspondence information 22 is expressed in a table format, for example. Data relating to each row of the table indicates the correspondence between modules.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the correspondence information 22 includes, for example, an identifier (ID) for identifying a module and module location information in each environment. FIG. 4 illustrates correspondence information 22 indicating the correspondence relationship between modules in the verification environment A and the production environment of the modules identified by ID1 to ID4.

The data of the module related to ID1 exemplifies the correspondence relationship when the module path is different between the verification environment A and the production environment. In the location information, “root” is the vertex hierarchy, “service1” is the service name hierarchy, “kenshoA” of the verification environment A and “service” of the production environment are the environment name management hierarchy, “apl1” is the server name management hierarchy, and other parts Corresponds to the expression related to the module path management hierarchy. Therefore, the module data related to ID2 exemplifies the correspondence relationship when the module file names are different. The data of the module related to ID3 exemplifies the correspondence relationship when the servers are different. The data of the module related to ID4 exemplifies the correspondence relationship when the service is different and the server is different. In the data of the module related to ID4, the correspondence relationship in the case where the verification environment A and the production environment have different numbers of module adaptation destinations is exemplified.

  In the present embodiment, the correspondence between modules in each environment is specified by such correspondence information 22. Therefore, even if each environment has a different configuration such as having a different number of servers, the location (path) of the target module in each environment can be specified. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 can extract a difference between modules deployed in the production environment and the verification environment even in an environment where the production environment and the verification environment have different configurations.

  Note that the correspondence information 22 illustrated in FIG. 4 indicates the correspondence between the modules included in the two environments, the verification environment A and the production environment. However, the correspondence information 22 may indicate a correspondence relationship between modules included in each of three or more environments by preparing a target environment field.

  The history information 23 indicates a history of difference information described later. The information processing apparatus 1 extracts a difference such as a version difference of modules having the correspondence relationship indicated by the correspondence information 22 and outputs the extracted difference as difference information. The history information 23 is information in which the time at which the difference is extracted is associated with the difference information.

  Note that the data formats of the setting information 21, the correspondence information 22, and the history information 23 may be appropriately selected according to the embodiment. In this embodiment, the setting information 21, the correspondence information 22, and the history information 23 are stored in the storage unit 11. However, the setting information 21, the correspondence information 22, and the history information 23 may be stored in independent devices such as NAS (Network Attached Storage).

Returning to FIG. 2, the control unit 12 includes one or more processors such as a microprocessor or a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and peripheral circuits (ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), interface circuit, etc.). The control unit 12 implements the processing of the information processing apparatus 1 in the present embodiment by executing various data and programs stored in the storage unit 11. ROM, RAM, and the like may be referred to as a main storage device in the sense that they are arranged in an address space handled by a processor in the control unit 12.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the control unit 12 includes a correspondence information acquisition unit 31, a difference extraction unit 32, an output unit 33, a module deployment unit 34, and an inspection unit 35. For example, the correspondence information acquisition unit 31, the difference extraction unit 32, the output unit 33, the module deployment unit 34, and the inspection unit 35 may store programs stored in the storage unit 11 in a RAM that is a peripheral circuit of the control unit 12. This is realized by being expanded and executed by the processor of the control unit 12.

The correspondence information acquisition unit 31 acquires correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the module location information in the production environment and the module location information in the verification environment for verification of the production environment. The difference extraction unit 32 refers to the acquired correspondence information and extracts a difference between the module deployed in the production environment and the module deployed in the verification environment. Then, the output unit 33 outputs difference information indicating the extracted difference between the module deployed in the production environment and the module deployed in the verification environment.

  Based on the difference information, the module deploying unit 34 deploys a module so that one of the production environment and the verification environment in the old module state matches the other environment in the new module state. Update the environment in the old module state. The information processing apparatus 1 may not include the module deployment unit 34 when the module is not deployed.

  The inspection unit 35 inspects the operation of the module deployed in the production environment or the verification environment. Here, the module deployment unit 34 downgrades one of the production environment and the verification environment by redeploying the module up to the update using the history information 23 stored in the storage unit 11. Also good. And the test | inspection part 35 may test | inspect operation | movement of the module deployed in the downgraded environment.

  The input / output unit 14 is one or a plurality of interfaces for transmitting / receiving data to / from a device existing outside the information processing device 1. The input / output unit 14 is, for example, an interface for connecting to a user interface such as an input device and an output device, an interface for connecting to a device such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, or these interfaces. It is a combination. For example, the input / output unit 14 may be connected to a user interface (not shown) (input / output devices such as a touch panel, a numeric keypad, a keyboard, a mouse, and a display).

  The communication unit 15 is one or a plurality of interfaces for performing data communication with other devices via a network. In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 performs data communication with a server or the like included in each environment by the communication unit 15.

  The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment is an apparatus having these configurations. The information processing apparatus 1 may be, for example, a general-purpose computer such as a PC or a virtual environment computer. Further, the information processing apparatus 1 may be constructed by a plurality of servers. For example, the information processing apparatus 1 may be realized by a repository server that manages the version of a module deployed in each environment, a server that deploys a module, or the like.

§2 Operation Example Next, an operation example of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 illustrates a processing procedure related to module difference extraction between a plurality of environments by the information processing apparatus 1. FIG. 6 illustrates a processing procedure related to the degradation verification by the information processing apparatus 1. 5 and 6, the step is abbreviated as “S”.

<Difference extraction>
In step 101, the correspondence information 22 is obtained by the correspondence information acquisition unit 31. For example, the correspondence information acquisition unit 31 acquires the correspondence information 22 stored in the storage unit 11. Note that the correspondence information acquisition unit 31 may acquire the correspondence information 22 from another information processing apparatus via a network.

  Here, the correspondence information 22 is created by the user of the information processing apparatus 1. For example, when adding a module, the user inputs the target service name, environment name, server name, module directory path name, and the like. Also, for example, when leaving a server from a certain environment, the user changes the setting information 21 and changes the correspondence information 22 if necessary, so that the server can be changed without changing the module configuration in each environment. It is possible to leave.

  In step 102, the difference extraction unit 32 extracts module differences between the environments. The difference extraction unit 32 refers to the correspondence information 22 acquired in step 101 and identifies the modules of each environment that have a correspondence relationship. For example, when referring to the correspondence information 22 illustrated in FIG. 4, the difference extraction unit 32 identifies modules that have correspondence relationships between the production environment and the verification environment A. Hereinafter, the correspondence information 22 illustrated in FIG. 4 will be described.

  The difference extraction unit 32 determines whether or not the identified target module exists in each of the production environment and the verification environment A. If the target module does not exist in any environment as a result of the determination, the difference extraction unit 32 extracts, as difference information, that the target module does not exist in any environment (production environment or verification environment A). .

  If the target module exists in each of the production environment and the verification environment A, the difference extraction unit 32 compares the checksums of the target modules in the respective environments, for example, to check whether the versions of the modules match. Determine whether or not. The difference extraction unit 32 extracts, as difference information, that the versions of the target modules in the production environment and the verification environment A are different when the checksums of the modules are different. The extracted difference information indicates in which environment the module is an old version.

  Here, the difference extraction process in steps 101 and 102 may be set to be periodically executed as a batch process. Further, in the correspondence information 22, text data, property files, and the like may be set in addition to the modules. This makes it possible to extract differences for other data of the module.

  As described above, the correspondence information 22 is information set by the user. Therefore, the user can obtain the difference information about the desired module by setting the desired module as the extraction target in the correspondence information 22.

  In step 103, the output unit 33 outputs the difference information extracted in step 102. The output unit 33 outputs the difference information extracted in step 102 to an output device such as a display, for example. In the output device, for example, the difference information is displayed as a module management screen. Note that the output unit 33 may distribute the difference information to the user by e-mail, for example.

  In step 104, the module deployment unit 34 changes one of the production environment and the verification environment in the old module state to the other environment in the new module state for the module related to the difference output in step 103. By deploying modules to match, it is accepted whether or not to update the environment in the old module state. The old module state indicates a state where the target module does not exist or the target module is an old version.

  The user browses the difference information output to the output device and selects a module to be updated. This makes it possible to update modules in each environment at a timing desired by the user. For the module selected as the update target, the processing of the next step 105 is executed. On the other hand, the processing of the next step 105 is omitted for modules not selected for update.

In step 105, the module deployment unit 34 updates the module selected in step 104. The module deployment unit 34 refers to the difference information and updates the module in the environment in the old module state by deploying the module in the environment in the new module state to the module in the environment in the old module state. The module deployment unit 34 updates the setting information 21 according to the update.

  The module to be deployed may be stored in the storage unit 11 or may be acquired from another information processing apparatus via a network. Further, the module deployment unit 34 may cause another information processing apparatus to deploy the target module to the target server by requesting the other information processing apparatus to deploy the module.

<Degradation verification>
Next, a processing procedure of the information processing apparatus 1 related to the degradation verification shown in FIG. 6 will be described. The degradation verification may be set to be periodically executed as a batch process.

  In step 201, the inspection unit 35 determines whether the module has been updated. The inspecting unit 35 determines, for example, whether or not the module has been updated between the last time when the verification is performed and the current time when the current verification is performed by referring to the history information 23 or the setting information 21. .

  The history information 23 may include information indicating whether or not the module has been updated based on the extracted difference, and the setting information 21 is updated to the module update. Therefore, the inspection unit 35 can specify whether or not the module has been updated based on the extracted difference by referring to these pieces of information. If the module has been updated, the process proceeds to the next step 202. On the other hand, if the module has not been updated, the process ends.

  In step 202, the module deployment unit 34 redeploys the module before the update, thereby downgrading either the production environment or the verification environment. The module deployment unit 34 refers to the history information 23 or the setting information 21 and identifies a module that has been updated in either the production environment or the verification environment. Then, the module deployment unit 34 downgrades the identified module in one of the production environment and the verification environment. The environment where the module is downgraded may be set to any environment, or may be fixed to the verification environment. If there are a plurality of verification environments, an environment for downgrading may be set for each module to be verified.

  The module to be redeployed may be stored in the storage unit 11 as described above, or may be acquired from another information processing apparatus via a network. Further, the module deployment unit 34 may cause another information processing apparatus to redeploy the target module to the target server by requesting the other information processing apparatus to redeploy the module.

  In step 203, the inspection unit 35 performs the degradation verification in the environment where the module is downgraded. The inspection unit 35 performs the degradation verification by executing the test script set for each module. The test script is data in which a description related to a predetermined operation is described, for example. The test script may be stored in the storage unit 11 or may be acquired from another information processing apparatus via a network.

The inspection unit 35 performs the degradation verification by checking whether or not the predetermined operation can be normally executed in the target module according to the test script. In this case, when the predetermined operation is not normally executed in the target module, the inspection unit 35 detects that the degradation has occurred. On the other hand, when the predetermined operation is normally executed in the target module, the inspection unit 35 detects that no degradation has occurred.

  In step 204, the output unit 33 outputs information indicating the module in which the degradation has occurred as information indicating the inspection result. The output unit 33 may display, for example, information indicating the module detected in step 203 on which the degradation has occurred as a module management screen on an output device such as a display, or distribute it to the user by e-mail. Also good. Note that the information indicating the test result may include digestibility information indicating the ratio of the modules that have been subjected to the above-described degradation verification among the deployed modules. The user can know at a glance the ratio of modules that have been verified by the digestion rate.

  The module deploying unit 34 may return the redeployed module to the original state (the latest state) automatically or after receiving an instruction from the user after the inspection is completed.

§3 Supplement Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the above description is merely an example of the present invention in all respects and is not intended to limit the scope thereof. It goes without saying that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
