update date, etc.) to the office management file 12,
Reference/update. Based on instructions from the OP command control unit 8, the document body control unit 11 stores the document file transmitted from the document transmission/reception unit 4 on the workstation side in the cabinet file 13, or conversely takes it out from the cabinet file 13 and transfers it to the document transmission/reception unit 4. Send to. When the office processor receives a command and a cabinet importance specification parameter from the workstation, it creates two cabinet files, a primary and a sub, for cabinets with importance specified, and one cabinet file for cabinets without importance specified. In addition, it has a function to perform document registration/replacement/deletion processing for a cabinet with a designated importance level, and recovery processing in the event of a failure, for both original and duplicate cabinet files at the same time. The office management file 12 is a database in which user information, cabinet information, document information, etc. are managed. In cabinet file 13, when a cabinet is created with importance specification, there are two original and secondary cabinet files for one cabinet, and when a cabinet is created without importance specification, there is one cabinet file for one cabinet. This is a library format file that stores the main body of the document that exists. The cabinet file recovery tool 14 is a tool for checking and restoring the contents of the primary and secondary cabinets when a failure occurs in a cabinet with a specified importance level, and has the function of returning the contents of the primary and secondary cabinets to the same state. have.

Next, a mechanism for creating a cabinet with a designated importance level, registering a document in a cabinet with a designated importance level, and recovery when a failure occurs will be explained.

First, when creating a cabinet with a specified importance level, the command input section 3 inputs cabinet information (name, type, attributes) including the importance level specifying parameters, document management information, office information, etc. into the cabinet creation command. Specify and input. The input command is WS
The command control section 5 recognizes that it is a cabinet creation command, outputs the contents of the command to the display means 1, displays the input contents, and sends it to the OP command control section 8. The OP command control section 8 recognizes that it is a cabinet creation command, and outputs a cabinet creation instruction to the office information control section 9 together with cabinet information. The office information control unit 9 receives the cabinet creation instruction and stores the cabinet information in the office management file 1.
2 and create a cabinet file 13. At this time, if the importance level is specified as cabinet information, two cabinet files are created as duplication: the original and the duplicate. The processing result of the cabinet creation instruction is
From the office information control unit 9 to the OP command control unit 8, WS
It is displayed on the display means 1 via the command control section 5 together with the input command image.

[0010] When registering a document to a cabinet whose importance level has been specified, first, a registration destination cabinet and registered document information are specified in a document registration command to the cabinet from the command input unit 1. The input command is W
The S command control section 5 recognizes that it is a document registration command, outputs the command contents to the display means 1, displays the input contents, and issues a document transmission instruction to the document transmission/reception section 4, and then outputs the command contents to the display means 1. An input command is sent to The document transmitting/receiving unit 4 receives the document transmission instruction and transmits the document body to be registered from the WS document file 6 to the OP command control unit 8 via the WS command control unit 5. The OP command control unit 9 recognizes that it is a document registration command and transmits a cabinet information check instruction and the registration destination cabinet to the office information control unit 9. The office information control section 9 receives the cabinet information check instruction, refers to the cabinet information from the office management file 12, performs an existence check, a reference check, etc., and returns the results to the OP command control section 8. In the OP command control unit 8, if the check result is good, the document information control unit 1
The document data transmitted from the document transmitting/receiving unit 4 is passed to the document transmitting/receiving unit 4, and a registration instruction is given to 0. If the check result is negative, the processing result is W as in the case of registering the cabinet described above.
It is returned to the S command control unit 5. The document information control unit 10 receives the document information registration instruction, registers the document information in the office management file 12, and returns the processing result to the OP command control unit 8. The document body control unit 11 receives the registration instruction, registers the document data as one subfile in the specified cabinet, and returns the processing result to the OP command control unit 8. At this time, if the target cabinet is a dual cabinet with a designated importance level, the primary and secondary cabinet files are processed at the same time. O that received the processing results returned from the document information control unit 10 and the document body control unit 11
The P command control unit 8 returns the processing result to the WS command control unit 5 as the document registration result.

[0011] When the system goes down or a physical failure occurs in a cabinet file, when the cabinet file recovery tool 14 is executed on a cabinet file with a specified importance level, it checks for inconsistent parts and failed parts in the original and copy, and performs recovery processing. be exposed.
