Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce working man-hour by using system generation information in a user computer system to image data. CONSTITUTION:Existing device constitution is obtained from an automatic recognition means 1 and then existing system parameter information is obtained from a existing system parameter table read means 2. An image generation means 3 displays the system constitution in an image information processing terminal equipment 8 based on the information, and an operator inputs or updates the detailed information on the device constitution with respect to a display image by a screen editing means 4. Furthermore, the input and update of a device whose main body is not adjusted and a device which cannot execute automatic recognition are executed. A system parameter generation means 5 reflects the updated image on a system parameter table 7, and a list output means 6 outputs a device constitution diagram to a printer 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a system generation method for an operating system, and particularly to a system generation method for generating and updating a system parameter table.

[Conventional technology]

An operating system in a computer system generates a system parameter table by specifying the operating environment of a user computer system, system default values, etc. as system generation information suitable for each user's environment.

Conventionally, the method for specifying system generation information in this type of system generation method was to create a system configuration diagram for each user environment, and then create a system generation specification on a special sheet of paper in the form of a table based on that diagram. Based on this specification, the system generation work was performed by manually inputting system generation information from a terminal device.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional system generation method described above, it is necessary to prepare a system configuration diagram in advance in a system generation specification in a format corresponding to the system generation program, transfer it to the system generation specification, and then perform the system generation work from the terminal device of the computer system. However, there are disadvantages in that it places a greater burden on workers, such as human errors that occur during this time, an increase in the amount of desk work, and the need for prior knowledge of system generation programs.

[Means to solve the problem]

The system generation method of the present invention is a system generation method for an operating system in a computer system having image information input/output processing means, which includes a current device configuration automatic recognition device, and a device that converts the current device configuration and current system parameter table into a graphic image. An image creating means for displaying a configuration diagram on a terminal device, a screen editing means for inputting and updating system generation information based on this display image, and a system parameter table for inputting this updated device configuration diagram from the terminal device. and list output means for outputting a list of device configuration diagrams.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

The system generation method of this embodiment includes an automatic recognition means 1 for the current device configuration, a current system parameter table reading means 2, an image creation means 3 for displaying on a terminal device as a device configuration diagram converted into a graphic image, and screen editing means 4 for inputting and updating system generated information based on a display image; system parameter table creation means 5 for inputting this updated device configuration diagram from a terminal device and creating a system parameter table; and a device configuration diagram. and list output means 6 for outputting a list.

Next, the operation of the system generation method configured as described above will be explained.

First, the current device configuration is obtained from the current device configuration automatic recognition means 1. Next, current system parameter information is obtained from the current system parameter table reading means 2. If the system has just been installed, this field may be blank or contain the initial value set at the time of shipment. Based on the two pieces of information just mentioned, the image creation means 3 displays the system configuration on the image information processing terminal device 8. Using the screen editing means 4, the operator inputs or updates detailed information on the device configuration (for example, disk media name, etc.) on this display image, and also allows the operator to enter or update detailed information on the device configuration (for example, disk media name, etc.). Also inputs and updates equipment, etc.

The updated image is reflected in the system parameter table 7 by the system parameter creation means 5, and the device configuration diagram is outputted to the printer 9 by the list output means 6.

FIG. 2 is a part of a terminal display example of a device configuration diagram, and FIG. 3 is a part of a design example of a system configuration diagram corresponding to FIG. The screen editing means 4 updates the device configuration diagram in FIG. 2 as shown in FIG. 3, thereby completing the system generation information.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention processes system generated information in a user computer system using image data, thereby making it possible to input system generated information in a visually easy-to-understand manner. This has the effect of reducing errors during work and making input confirmation more efficient.

In addition, the time required to create specifications for system generation can be shortened, and less knowledge about the user interface of the system generation program is required, so the number of man-hours involved in system generation can be significantly reduced compared to conventional methods. effective.
