Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve speed for a fault correspondence processing by analyzing faults, which are generated in the past, and the correspondence processings simultaneously with the generation of a fault and activating a processing program corresponding to the generated fault. CONSTITUTION:A fault event judgement processing part 14 searches a fault event and correspondence action table with a message, which is received from a fault information reception processing part 13, and judges whether the fault is generated or not. As a result, when it is judged that the fault is generated, a recovery job activation notification processing part 15 is operated and a fault event and correspondence action are notified to a recovery job activation processing means 26. The recovery job activation processing means 26 operates a recovery job activation information reception processing part 16 and the contents of information are dispatched to a recovery job activation processing part 17 when the fault event and correspondence action are received. The recovery job activation processing part 17 receives the information and activates the said job of the fault event and recovery job part 6.

Next, FIG. 2 is an overall configuration diagram of the failure 6i'f notification processing stage 24. Referring to FIG. 2, the failure information monitoring processing stage 24 is permanently resident during operation, The reading processing unit 10 operates, and the console message log unit 2,
I-1/W Error lock section 3, Sh5 6 Reads fault information from the job completion information section 4. As a result, the failure information notification writing section 1-]- operates and notifies the failure event judgment processing means 25 of the failure information read by the failure information reading processing section 10.

Here, since the failure notice information monitoring means 24 is a system-resident monitoring processing means, until the end command is input,
A similar process is performed and the process is terminated when the termination command is input.

FIG. 3 is an overall configuration diagram of the failure event judgment processing means 25. Referring to FIG.
is activated, and the failure event response action table part 5 V
) II: Read the adverse event/response action table. Next, the fault information notification receiving processing section 13 operates and waits for a notification from the fault information monitoring processing means 24. When there is a notification,
The fault information notification receiving processing unit]-3 passes the message from the fault information monitoring processing unit 24 to the fault event determination processing unit 14.

The failure event judgment processing unit 14 is a failure information notification reception processing unit]
Using the message received from 3 as a key, search the failure event/response action table to determine whether a failure has occurred. As a result, if it is determined that a failure has occurred, the recovery job activation notification processing section 1-5 operates and notifies the recovery job activation processing means 26 of the failure event response action.

Here, since the failure event determination processing means 25 is a system-resident monitoring processing means, it performs the same processing until the end command 1 is input.

Next, FIG. 4 is an overall configuration diagram of the recovery job activation processing means 26. Referring to FIG. The recovery job activation notification receiving processing unit 16 operates and passes the notification contents to the recovery job activation processing unit 17. Recovery job startup processing unit 1

The message that should be the basis for the occurrence of a failure and the corresponding illusory action are registered by the failure event response action table registration processing unit 18. In addition, when changing the failure event or response action, the update is performed by one failure event response action table update processing unit, and when it is simply desired to refer to it, the failure event response action table reference processing unit 20 is used for reference.

Specific examples of registration include the following.

If you know from past experience that there is always a line failure when the message "MCNW93 C=80'" is output, you should activate the line and issue the line trace end command l-' as a countermeasure. Put it in,
It is possible to run a race job from line 1. Register a series of specific actions as shown in this example.

And, FIG. 6 is a diagram of the fully closed structure of Likaharishov registration update/reference processing 1,000 steps, and referring to FIG. 6,
