Description

  The present invention relates to a data management program, a data management device, and a data management method.

  There are technologies related to modification of design information when specifications are changed in the development and maintenance phases of application programs.

  For example, there has been proposed a system for identifying a part affected by the modification without referring to the source code when modifying the program. In this system, the attribute data of the correction target program part including the correction instruction and the correction content data are acquired. Then, another program component having a usage relationship is identified, the definition information of this other program component is read from the component management table, and a data item similar to the correction content is identified. Information on the corrected data when the data item is updated with the corrected content is generated and displayed, a confirmation instruction for the corrected data information is accepted, and the correction content data is updated in the parts management table.

  Further, in a series of processes of application program development, a system provided with a data item dictionary that manages data items that are shared metadata has been proposed. In this system, in the data item dictionary, a plurality of data items configured by a one-to-one combination of purpose of use and attribute information are managed under the name of the data item.

JP, 2010-15458, A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-197533

  However, with the conventional technology that specifies the range of influence due to the modification of the program, it is not possible to specify the range of influence when there is a change in the definition information of the parts management table that manages data items.

  Further, in the conventional technology of managing data items for each purpose of use, when a data item in the data item dictionary is changed, each purpose of use managed under the name of the same data item in the data item dictionary is changed. The data item of can be regarded as the range of influence of the change. However, it is difficult to register all the data items that have many variations in the purpose of use by associating them with the same data item name, and as a result, specify the range of influence of the data item change. May not be possible.

  One aspect of the present invention is to specify the range of influence of a change in a data item.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, when a second data item associated with a first data item included in design information is added to other design information, the first data item and the second data item are added. The correspondence with the data item is stored in the storage unit. Further, even after the input for changing the attribute of the second data item of the other design information is performed, the correspondence relationship between the first data item and the second data item is retained in the storage unit. Let Then, when a change is input to the first data item, the second data item corresponding to the first data item is specified based on the correspondence relationship stored in the storage unit. Further, the second data item is output as a data item that may be affected by the input of the change to the first data item.

  As one aspect, it has an effect that it is possible to specify the influence range due to the change of the data item.

  Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the data management device 10 according to the first embodiment functionally includes a storage control unit 12 and an output unit 14. An item dictionary 22 and a correspondence table 24 are stored in a predetermined storage area of the data management device 10.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the item dictionary 22. In the example of FIG. 2, each record (each row) corresponds to one item. Each item includes an “item ID”, which is identification information of the item, and a plurality of types of attributes of the item. The attribute types include, for example, “item name”, “data type”, “digit number”, etc. of the item, and the attribute value of each attribute is defined in the item dictionary 22. Items defined in the item dictionary 22 (hereinafter referred to as “dictionary items”) are used for system design information.

  Here, the creation of design information using dictionary items will be described. The design information is information that defines the layout of screens used in the system to be designed, the data structure of the database, and test scenarios for verifying the designed screens and databases. Dictionary items are commonly used for a plurality of design information items constituting the same system.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the relationship between the item dictionary 22 and the design information. In the example of FIG. 3, the system to be designed includes the design information 30A, the design information 30B, and the design information 30C. The design information 30A is design information relating to the user registration screen 32A, and the design information 30A includes items 34A displayed on the user registration screen 32A. The design information 30B is design information related to the test scenario 32B for verifying the user registration screen 32A, and the design information 30B includes a verification target item 34B. The design information 30C is design information related to the user table 32C, and the design information 30C includes an item 34C corresponding to a column of the user table 32C.

  Note that the number and types of design information illustrated in FIG. 3 are examples, and the system to be designed may include various other design information.

  Hereinafter, when the design information 30A, 30B, and 30C are described without distinction, they are simply referred to as “design information 30”. Further, the items 34A, 34B, and 34C included in each design information 30 are referred to as "design information items" in order to distinguish them from the dictionary items 36. When describing each design information item without distinction, simply "design information" Item 34" is described. The dictionary item 36 is an example of the “first data item” of the present invention, and the design information item 34 is an example of the “second data item” of the present invention.

  Each design information item 34 is described in each design information 30 using the dictionary item 36. Here, when using the dictionary item 36, the designer extracts the related dictionary item 36 from the item dictionary 22 and duplicates it in the design information 30 as the design information item 34. In this case, the design information item 34 holds the attribute defined in the item dictionary 22 as it is. The attribute of the design information item 34 duplicated in the design information 30 can be changed. The designer changes the attribute of the design information item 34 according to the design information 30 for which the dictionary item 36 is used. Further, each design information item 34 is given a design information item ID for identifying each design information item 34 in the design information 30 including the design information item 34.

  For example, in FIG. 3, the design information item 34A of the design information 30A and the design information item 34B of the design information 30B are duplicates of the dictionary item 36 of item ID=item 2, and the attributes are changed after the duplication. Not not. On the other hand, in the design information item 34C of the design information 30C, after copying the dictionary item 36 of item ID=item 2, the attribute value “employee ID” of the attribute “item name” is changed to “user ID”.

  As described above, the data management device 10 according to the present exemplary embodiment can be used when the item dictionary 22 is changed due to a system specification change or the like when the design information 30 is created using the dictionary item 36. Identify the extent of impact. Hereinafter, each unit of the data management device 10 will be described in detail.

  When the design information item 34 associated with the dictionary item 36 included in the item dictionary 22 is added to the design information 30, the storage control unit 12 determines the correspondence relationship between the dictionary item 36 and the design information item 34 as a correspondence relationship table. Store in 24.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the correspondence table 24. In the example of FIG. 4, each record (each line) corresponds to one correspondence relationship between the dictionary item 36 and the design information item 34, and the “item ID” of the dictionary item 36 includes “design information”, “design information item”, And “change information” are associated with each other. The “design information” and the “design information item” are information that specifies which design information 30 and which design information item 34 the dictionary item 36 indicated by the item ID is using. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the names of screens, scenarios, tables, etc. are used as the information for specifying the design information 30, and the design information item ID is used as the information for specifying the design information item 34. The “change information” is information indicating whether or not the attribute has been changed after copying the dictionary item 36 to the design information 30 and, if the attribute has been changed, the contents of the change.

  Specifically, when the designer duplicates the dictionary item 36 extracted from the item dictionary 22 to the design information 30, the storage control unit 12 causes the item ID of the dictionary item 36 of the duplication source, the design information 30 of the duplication destination, and the design. And information for identifying the information item 34. The storage control unit 12 stores the acquired information in association with each of “item ID”, “design information”, and “design information item” in the correspondence table. The storage control unit 12 also sets the “change information” of the correspondence table 24 to an initial value (“none” in the example of FIG. 4) indicating that the attribute is not changed.

  Further, when the designer changes the attribute of the design information item 34 of the design information 30, the storage control unit 12 acquires the information specifying the design information 30 and the design information item 34 to be changed, and the change content. The storage control unit 12 retrieves the corresponding record from the correspondence table 24 based on the acquired information, and stores the change content in the “change information” column of the record. The change content can be, for example, the type of changed attribute and the attribute value before and after the change.

  As described above, the correspondence table 24 holds information on the correspondence between the dictionary items 36 and the design information items 34 even after the input for changing the attributes of the design information items 34 in the design information 30 is performed. Keep it.

  When a change is input to the dictionary item 36 in the item dictionary 22, the output unit 14 changes the dictionary based on the correspondence between the dictionary item 36 and the design information item 34 stored in the correspondence table 24. The design information item 34 corresponding to the item 36 is specified. Then, the output unit 14 outputs the specified design information item 34 as a data item that may be affected by the input of the change to the dictionary item 36.

  Specifically, when the designer changes the dictionary item 36, the output unit 14 acquires the item ID of the changed dictionary item 36. The output unit 14 extracts records associated with the acquired item IDs in the correspondence table 24 and outputs the records in, for example, a list format. Since the correspondence relation table 24 also holds the correspondence relation between the design information item 34 whose attribute is changed in the design information 30 and the dictionary item 36, the range of influence of the change on the dictionary item 36 can be specified without omission. it can.

  The data management device 10 can be realized by, for example, the computer 40 shown in FIG. The computer 40 includes a Central Processing Unit (CPU) 41, a memory 42 as a temporary storage area, and a non-volatile storage unit 43. The computer 40 also includes an input/output device 44, a read/write (R/W) unit 45 that controls reading and writing of data from and to a storage medium 49, and a communication interface (I/F) connected to a network such as the Internet. ) 46 and. The CPU 41, the memory 42, the storage unit 43, the input/output device 44, the R/W unit 45, and the communication I/F 46 are connected to each other via a bus 47.

  The storage unit 43 can be realized by a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, or the like. A data management program 50 for causing the computer 40 to function as the data management device 10 is stored in the storage unit 43 as a storage medium. The data management program 50 has a storage control process 52 and an output process 54. In addition, the storage unit 43 has an information storage area 60 in which information constituting each of the item dictionary 22 and the correspondence table 24 is stored.

  The CPU 41 reads the data management program 50 from the storage unit 43, expands it in the memory 42, and sequentially executes the processes of the data management program 50. The CPU 41 operates as the storage control unit 12 illustrated in FIG. 1 by executing the storage control process 52. Further, the CPU 41 operates as the output unit 14 shown in FIG. 1 by executing the output process 54. Further, the CPU 41 reads information from the information storage area 60 and loads each of the item dictionary 22 and the correspondence table 24 into the memory 42. As a result, the computer 40 that executes the data management program 50 functions as the data management device 10.

  The function realized by the data management program 50 can also be realized by, for example, a semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or the like.

  Next, the operation of the data management device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described. When the designer starts to create or modify the design information 30 of the system to be designed, the data management device 10 executes the storage control process shown in FIG.

  In step S11, the storage control unit 12 determines whether or not the item ID of the dictionary item 36 of the copy source and the information specifying the design information 30 and the design information item 34 of the copy destination are acquired. If the information has been acquired, the process proceeds to step S12. If the information has not been acquired, the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S12, the storage control unit 12 stores the information acquired in step S11 in association with each of the “item ID”, the “design information”, and the “design information item” in the correspondence table. Further, the storage control unit 12 sets the “change information” to an initial value (“none” in the example of FIG. 4) indicating that the attribute has not been changed, and the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13, the storage control unit 12 determines whether or not the information specifying the design information 30 and the design information item 34 whose attribute has been changed and the changed content are acquired, and thus the design information of the design information 30 is acquired. It is determined whether the attribute of the item 34 has been changed. If the attribute is determined, the process proceeds to step S14, and if not changed, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S14, the storage control unit 12 retrieves the corresponding record from the correspondence table 24 based on the information acquired in step S13, stores the change content in the "change information" column of the record, and the process is executed. Control goes to step S15.

  In step S15, the storage control unit 12 determines whether or not an instruction to end the creation or modification of the design information 30 by the designer has been received. If the end instruction has not been received, the process returns to step S11, and if the end instruction has been received, the storage control process ends.

  Further, when the designer inputs the item ID of the dictionary item 36 to be changed when changing the item dictionary 22, the data management device 10 executes the output process shown in FIG. 7. ..

  In step S21, the output unit 14 acquires the item ID of the input dictionary item 36, and extracts the record associated with the acquired item ID in the correspondence table 24.

  Next, in step S22, the output unit 14 outputs the extracted records in a list format, for example, as a result of specifying the range of influence of the change on the dictionary item 36, and the output process ends.

  As described above, according to the data management device 10 according to the first embodiment, the correspondence between the dictionary item and the design information item is retained even after the attribute of the design information item is changed, so that the dictionary item can be changed. When there is, it is possible to specify the impact range of the change without omission.

  In addition, when the attribute of the design information item is changed, the change information is also associated with the correspondence relationship between the dictionary item and the design information, so that when the influence range is output, the copy destination of the dictionary item is changed. Whether or not the attribute has been changed and the content of the change can also be output. Therefore, it is possible to confirm whether or not the attribute of the design information item has been changed and the changed contents without visually confirming the design information including the design information item affected by the change of the dictionary item.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, a case has been described in which the dictionary information 36 is duplicated from the item dictionary 22 to create the design information 30, but in the second embodiment, the dictionary item 36 is referenced by referring to the item dictionary 22 from the design information 30. The case of using will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the data management device 210 according to the second embodiment functionally includes a storage control unit 212 and an output unit 214. Further, an item dictionary 22 and a mapping table 26 are stored in a predetermined storage area of the data management device 210.

  The mapping table 26 is a table for mapping the dictionary items 36 referred to by the design information items 34 included in the design information 30. FIG. 9 shows an example of the relationship among the item dictionary 22, the mapping table 26, and the design information 30. As shown in FIG. 9, the design information 30 does not include the substance of the design information item 34, but only the design information item ID for which mapping to the mapping table 26 is set. In the mapping table 26, which is the mapping destination of the design information item ID included in the design information 30, the correspondence between the design information item ID and the item ID of the dictionary item 36 used by the design information item 34 indicated by the design information item ID. Mapping information indicating the relationship is stored. In addition, the mapping to the item ID of the item dictionary 22 is set to the item ID included in the mapping table 26.

  When the design information item 34 indicated by the design information item is used by changing the attribute of the dictionary item 36 in the design information 30, the change information is associated with the design information item ID of the mapping table 26. Will be remembered. The attributes that are not changed are not included in the mapping table 26 and are set to NULL.

  For example, in the case of the design information item 34A of the design information 30A shown in FIG. 3, the design information 30A is used without changing the attribute. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the mapping table 26 has an item ID and design information. Only the mapping information with the item ID is described. In this case, the design information item 2 used in the design information 30A refers to the item 2 in the item dictionary 22 via the mapping table 26.

  Further, for example, in the case of the design information item 34C of the design information 30C shown in FIG. 3, in the design information 30C, the attribute value of the attribute "item name" is changed from "employee ID" to "user ID" and used. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, in the mapping table 26, in addition to the mapping information between the item ID and the design information item ID, the attribute to be changed and the attribute value after the change of the attribute are stored. In this case, the design information item 2 used in the design information 30C refers to the mapping table 26 for the changed attributes and the mapping table 26 for the unchanged attributes as in the case of FIG. The item 2 of the item dictionary 22 is referred to through.

  9 to 11, the example in which the mapping table 26 is provided for each design information 30 is shown, but the design information item 34 used for each of the plurality of design information 30 in one mapping table 26 is shown. The mapping information to the dictionary item 36 of may be stored. In this case, the mapping information also includes information that identifies the design information 30.

  Hereinafter, each unit of the data management device 210 will be described in detail.

  When generating the design information item 34 of the design information 30 based on the dictionary item 36 included in the item dictionary 22, the storage control unit 212 stores mapping information that associates the dictionary item 36 and the design information item 34 in the mapping table 26. Remember. Further, when the storage control unit 212 receives an input of a change to the attribute of the design information item 34, the storage control unit 212 additionally stores the changed content in the mapping information stored in the mapping table 26.

  Specifically, the designer inputs the setting for using the dictionary item 36 extracted from the item dictionary 22 as the design information item 34 of the design information 30. From this setting, the storage control unit 212 acquires the item ID of the dictionary item 36 to be used and the information that specifies the design information 30 and the design information item 34 of the usage destination. The storage control unit 212 stores the mapping information of the item ID and the design information item ID in the mapping table 26 corresponding to the design information 30 based on the acquired information. The storage control unit 212 also sets the mapping to the mapping table 26 from the design information item ID included in the design information 30.

  Further, when the designer changes the attribute of the design information item 34 of the design information 30, the storage control unit 212 acquires the information specifying the design information 30 and the design information item 34 to be changed and the change content. The storage control unit 212 specifies the mapping information between the design information item ID indicating the design information item 34 to be changed and the item ID in the mapping table 26 corresponding to the design information 30 to be changed, based on the acquired information. .. Then, the storage control unit 212 stores the acquired change content in association with the specified mapping information.

  When a change is input to the dictionary item 36, the output unit 214 specifies the design information item 34 associated with the changed dictionary item 36 based on the mapping information stored in the mapping table 26. Then, the output unit 214 outputs the specified design information item 34 as a data item that may be affected by the input of the change to the dictionary item 36.

  Specifically, when the designer changes the dictionary item 36, the output unit 214 acquires the item ID of the changed dictionary item 36. The output unit 214 extracts, from the mapping table 26, the design information item ID associated with the acquired item ID and the mapping information, and the change information associated with the mapping information. The output unit 214 outputs the extracted information in a list format, for example.

  The data management device 210 can be realized by the computer 40 shown in FIG. 5, for example. The storage unit 43 of the computer 40 stores a data management program 250 for causing the computer 40 to function as the data management device 210. The data management program 250 has a storage control process 252 and an output process 254. Further, the storage unit 43 has an information storage area 60 in which the information constituting each of the item dictionary 22 and the mapping table 26 is stored.

  The CPU 41 reads the data management program 250 from the storage unit 43, expands it in the memory 42, and sequentially executes the processes of the data management program 250. The CPU 41 operates as the storage control unit 212 shown in FIG. 8 by executing the storage control process 252. Further, the CPU 41 operates as the output unit 214 shown in FIG. 8 by executing the output process 254. Further, the CPU 41 reads information from the information storage area 60 and loads each of the item dictionary 22 and the mapping table 26 in the memory 42. As a result, the computer 40 that executes the data management program 250 functions as the data management device 210.

  The function realized by the data management program 250 can also be realized by, for example, a semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, an ASIC or the like.

  Next, the operation of the data management device 210 according to the second embodiment will be described. Also in the second embodiment, when the designer starts to create or modify the design information 30 of the system to be designed, the data management device 210 executes the storage control process shown in FIG. Hereinafter, points different from the storage control processing in the first embodiment will be described.

  In the storage control process in the second embodiment, the storage control unit 212 stores the mapping information between the item ID and the design information item ID in the mapping table 26 in step S13. The storage control unit 212 also sets the mapping to the mapping table 26 from the design information item ID included in the design information 30.

  In step S15, the storage control unit 212 identifies the mapping information between the design information item ID indicating the design information item 34 to be changed and the item ID, associates the changed content with the identified mapping information, and maps the mapping table. 26.

  Also in the second embodiment, when the designer inputs the item ID of the dictionary item 36 to be changed to the data management device 210, the data management device 210 executes the output process shown in FIG. 7. Hereinafter, differences from the output processing in the first embodiment will be described.

  In step S21 of the output process in the second embodiment, the output unit 214 outputs the design information item ID associated with the input item ID and the mapping information, and the change information associated with the mapping information. It is extracted from the mapping table 26.

  As described above, according to the data management device 210 according to the second embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, the mapping information between the dictionary item and the design information item is held even after the attribute of the design information item is changed. . Thus, when a dictionary item is changed, the range affected by the change can be specified without omission.

  Further, when the item dictionary has been changed, the design information item whose attribute has not been changed is referred to from the design information through the mapping table, so that the change in the item dictionary is directly reflected in the design information. It Further, regarding the design information item whose attribute has been changed, since the change information stored in the mapping table 26 is referred to, even if the item dictionary 22 is changed, the changed attribute value is used as it is. Therefore, when the item dictionary is changed, whether or not it is necessary to change the design information item used in the design information can be easily grasped by outputting the influence range including the change information, and the design information can be corrected. Etc. efficiency is improved.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the items defined in the item dictionary are used in the design information has been described. However, when the items used in the specific design information are used in other design information, The present invention is applicable.

  In the above description, the mode in which the data management programs 50 and 250, which are examples of programs according to the disclosed technology, are stored (installed) in the storage unit 43 in advance has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The program according to the disclosed technology can be provided in a form stored in a storage medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or a USB memory.
