Abstract

PURPOSE:To acquire the detailed execution information on a program and to improve the operability and the maintenance properties of a program state display device by displaying the program state on a terminal, through a screen information display mechanism. CONSTITUTION:An operator of a terminal 2 wants to know the state of a program carried out at a terminal 1 while a program 3 containing the screen information 4 is carried out at the terminal 1. Under such conditions, a screen information copying mechanism 5 is driven by the terminal 2 via e control line 12. Then the mechanism 5 calls out a program screen information storing part 4 through a control line 13 and copies the screen information 21 to a screen information storage mechanism 6 controlled via a control line 14. Thus the screen information on the terminal 1 is stored in the mechanism 6. These stored data 15 are displayed as the data 16 on the terminal 2 by a screen information display mechanism 7. Thus the screen of the terminal 1 is displayed on a display device screen of the terminal 2. As a result, the program executing state is not shown just in a mere status and a screen itself can be shown.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a program status display device, and more particularly to a program execution status display device in a computer system having a plurality of display devices.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a program status display device of this type has only "execution" status of program execution.
It was displaying "Stopping" etc.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional program status display device, the program executed in a certain terminal (station) only shows the status in another terminal, and screen information cannot be obtained. Therefore, when a system administrator needs to take action by looking at the screen information when a failure occurs, he or she has to go to a place where the terminal executing the program is located, and there is a drawback that maintainability is poor.

[0004]

A program status display device according to the present invention has a screen information copying mechanism, a screen information storage mechanism, and a screen information display mechanism.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, a terminal 1 executes a program 3 via a control line 11, and the screen information of the program 3 is stored in a screen information storage unit 4. There is. In this embodiment, another terminal 2
It has a screen information copying mechanism 5, a screen information storage mechanism 6, and a screen information display mechanism 7.

When the operator operating the terminal 2 wants to know the state of the program being executed on the terminal 1 while the program 3 including the screen information 4 is being executed on the terminal 1,
The screen information copying mechanism 5 is driven from the terminal 2 via the control line 12, and the copying mechanism 5 calls the program screen information storage unit 4 with the control line 13 and controls the screen information 21 with the control line 14. Copy to 6. As a result, the screen information of the terminal 1 at that time is stored in the screen information storage mechanism. The screen data display mechanism 7 displays the stored data 15 as data 16 on the terminal 2. As a result, the screen of the terminal 1 is displayed on the display device screen of the terminal 2.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the screen itself can be seen instead of simply indicating the execution state of the program by the status, more detailed execution information can be obtained, so that the operability is improved. -It has the effect of greatly improving maintainability.
