Abstract

PURPOSE:To continuously process a file which is being edited on an editor even if a device or line becomes abnormal. CONSTITUTION:If a text which is being edited can not be saved owing to the down of a host computer 10 or line abnormality, an edited text saving means 11 saves the text in the internal disk system 5 of a terminal device 20 and a reconnecting means 12 automatically recognizes a recovery from the fault after the recovery and makes a reconnection, so that the editing is carried on. Consequently, if a session fault occurs, the text which is being edited can be saved and the trouble of reediting the text is reducible.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for recovering an edit file when a session failure occurs in a remote system of a computer. The present invention relates to a computer device that can be restored when a failure occurs without spending a lot of time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a session fails, all the editing contents of the editor used by the user are erased.

[0003]

The conventional method as described above has a drawback that the editing data of the editor is erased at the time of a session failure, so that much time is required for recovery.

The present invention eliminates such drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of restoring the text being edited even if a session failure occurs during text editing.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a host computer and a plurality of terminal devices are connected via a line, and input of text editing and display of various information relating to text editing are displayed on each of the plurality of terminal devices. A computer having a console for performing, an editor for editing text according to input from the console while transmitting and receiving information to and from the host computer, and a built-in disk system for storing data of the edited text and environment information of the editor. In the device, in the editor,
Edit text saving means for saving the text being edited in the internal disk system of the terminal device specified in advance when a session failure occurs, and for the session when reconnected to the host computer or the line Reconnection means for performing reconnection and text recovery, and each of the terminal devices is provided with a text table for storing the internal format of the text edited by the editing operation of the edited text saving means. To do.

[0006]

[Operation] Specify the evacuation disk system required for the session in advance, and shut down the host computer.
Or, when the session is disconnected due to a line error, the text being edited in the disk system of the specified terminal is saved, and when the failure is recovered and the host computer or line is reconnected, the session Reconnect and restore text.

As described above, even if a session failure occurs while editing text in the editor, the text being edited can be restored and the file designated to be saved can be reused when the session is restored. You can avoid spending a lot of time.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the host computer 10 is used.
And a plurality of terminal devices 20 are connected via a line 3, and a plurality of terminal devices 10 each transmit / receive information to / from a console 2 for inputting text editing and displaying various information related to text editing, and a host computer 10. However, the editor 1 for editing the text according to the input from the console 2 and the built-in disk system 5 for storing the data of the edited text and the environmental information of the editor 1 are further provided. In addition, when the session is reconnected to the edit text saving means 11 for saving the text being edited in the built-in disk system 5 of the terminal device 20 which is designated in advance when the session failure occurs, the session is reconnected to the session. Reconnect to perform reconnection and text recovery And a 12, respectively the terminal apparatus 10 includes a text table 4 which stores the internal format of the text edited by the editing of the editing text saving means 11.

The console 2 displays the screen of the editor 1 and displays an error message of the host computer 10 or the line 3 and a recovery message from the error. The line 3 is a line connecting the host computer 10 and the terminal device 20. The text table 4 stores the internal format of the text edited by the editing work of the edited text saving means 11. The built-in disk system 5 stores edit text data, an editor environment, and the like.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention thus constructed will be described with reference to the drawings. 2 is a flow chart showing an operation flow of the edited text saving means in the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing an operation flow of the reconnection means in the embodiment of the present invention.

The edited text saving means 11 is activated by the time sharing system when a session failure occurs and checks the status of the line failure error (step 21). If the evacuation is not necessary, the process ends without doing anything. If a line error that requires the saving of the edited text occurs, the environment parameters of the editor 1 are saved in the internal disk system 5. At the same time, the environment status of the editor 1 and the fact that the edited text data has been saved are displayed as a message on the display of the console 2. Here, the saved environment of the editor 1 and the edited text data are saved as a file (step 22), and even if the session is disconnected, the substance of the file is not erased.

As shown in FIG. 3, the reconnection means 12 checks whether or not the line 3 is restored from the status information of the time sharing system at the time of session connection (step 31). When the line 3 is not restored, the operation is ended without doing anything. If line 3 is restored, reconnecting means 12
Reconnects line 3 with the host computer 10,
The edited text data saved in the internal disk system 5 and the environment of the editor 1 are restored. The display of the console 2 displays edit text data and a message indicating that the environment of the editor 1 has been restored.

In this way, the session user can refer to the information such as the edit text file and the editor environment used before the occurrence of the last session failure for the session on the display of the console 2, You can use the recovered files again with the editor in the time-sharing system.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, the save disk system required for the session is designated in advance, so that the text being edited can be edited even if a session failure occurs while the text is being edited. It is possible to recover the file, and it is possible to reuse the file specified to be saved when the session is recovered.
