2. Description of the Related Art When operating a computer system, it is necessary to quantitatively grasp the resource status of the system related to the performance and capacity of the system. Knowing the resource status of a system is essential for effectively using system resources and designing a system for the future.System users can easily view system resource information on the screen. It is important from the point of view of usability that the content can be easily searched and edited freely.

[0003] In conventional system resource information editing methods, when displaying system resource information on a screen, there is a limit to the number of system resource information items that can be displayed on one screen, and many information items can be displayed on one screen. When the display cannot be displayed, the usual display processing is to display it on several different screens or by scrolling the screen.
In addition, users are not allowed to freely edit or tally information, and it is customary to be unable to dynamically change the editing method or change the tally method.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] For this reason, conventional system resource information editing methods allow system users to search for system resource information across several types of screens.
This method has the disadvantage that it is troublesome to search by scrolling the display screen of the system's resource information.

[0005] Furthermore, in the conventional system resource information editing method, each system's resource information item displayed on the screen is fixedly displayed on the system resource information display screen. There is a waste of displaying on the screen even items of system resource information that the user does not particularly need, and it is not possible to display various information that the system user needs on one screen at the same time.
It has the disadvantage that it is not possible to perform free-form screen display and edit and dynamically change the aggregation method according to the user's own editing and aggregation method.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The system resource information editing method of the present invention includes a screen definition means for a system user to set screen definition information of system resources, and a system resource information required by the system user. an edit definition screen output means for storing information items in advance and outputting an edit definition screen for setting edit definition information; and an input data analysis means for analyzing edit definition information input according to the edit definition screen. , information collection means for collecting system resource information from a storage device that stores system resource information based on the analysis result by the input data analysis means, and editing definition information analyzed by the input data analysis means and the screen definition means. and editing means for editing and displaying the screen based on the screen definition information obtained.

The input/output device 2 displays an editing definition screen using the system resource information editing method 1. Furthermore, by displaying the edit definition screen, the edit definition information set by the system user is input into the system resource information editing method 1. Furthermore, system resource information is collected and edited using system resource information editing method 1 and displayed on the screen. Note that the input/output device 2 is composed of a terminal device.

On the other hand, the edit definition screen output means 3 outputs to the input/output device 2 an edit definition screen for inputting previously stored selection information items and edit definition information.

On the other hand, the input data analysis means 4 analyzes the editing definition information of the system resource information inputted by the system user from the input/output device 2.

Further, the screen definition means 8 sets screen definition information input by the user of the system.

Note that the storage device 5 stores system resource information.

Therefore, the information collecting means 6 analyzes the information item selected by the input data analyzing means 4, and based on the result, stores the resource information of each system stored in advance corresponding to the information item from the storage device 5. Collect.

Then, the editing means 7 edits the information collected by the information collecting means 6 and displays the system resource information on the input/output device 2 on a screen. The editing method at this time is based on the editing definition information obtained by the input data analysis means 4 and the screen definition means 8.
This is done based on the screen definition information obtained in .

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of screen definition information 100 set by the user in the screen definition means 8 of this embodiment. 2A to 2F indicate field names arbitrarily set by the user, and □ indicates an information output field.

FIG. 3 shows the editing definition screen output means 3 of this embodiment.
It is a figure which shows an example of the edit definition screen 200 obtained by. A and H in FIG. 3 indicate selection information item names. Also,
The edit definition area 201 is a value set by the user.

Next, the operation of the system resource information editing method of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

First, the user is asked to set the output screen format for system resource information (screen definition information 100). At this time, the output field names a, to f are arbitrarily set by the user and must be input.

Next, an edit definition screen 200 is displayed on the input/output device 2 for the system user to select an information item. Based on this screen, the system user selects an item of system resource information from the edit definition screen 200, and uses the output field names a, to f set by the user in the screen definition information 100 and the selected information item. Attach the correspondence. That is, settings are made as to which field on the screen set by the user the selected information item on the edit definition screen 200 is to be output.

Edit definition information setting example (see edit definition screen 200)
・a=A
...Output A information item to field a ・b=B
...Output B information item to b field ・c=G
...Output G information item to c field ・d=H
...Output H information item to d field ・e
=A+B+G+H...Output the total value of the formula to the e field ・f=(A+B+G+H)÷
4... Outputs the total value of the formula values to the f field.Next, the input data analysis means 4 analyzes the editing definition information. According to this analyzed information item (here A, B, G, H),
The selection information collecting means 6 collects the system resource information corresponding to the information items A, B, G, and H from the storage device 5. These collected system resource information are edited by the editing means 7.
