The CPU 12 performs various processes according to a program, and inputs and outputs data via the input / output control device 13. The main storage device 11 stores a history information management processing program executed by the CPU 12. This history information management processing program will be described later.

The input / output control device 13 controls data exchange between the terminal 16, the output device 15 or the external storage device 14 and the host computer 10 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 12.

The external storage device 14 is a parent component work DB 4
1. The configuration work DB 42, the parent component master DB 43, and the configuration master DB 44 are stored. Parent part work DB41
Is registered with management information of a parent part having a child part.
The connection relation between the parent part and the child part is registered in the configuration work DB 42. These two work DBs 41 and 42 are work spaces for registering information on components whose configuration has been changed.

Parent part master DB 43 and configuration master D
In B44, the information of the parent part and the change history of the configuration information are registered by reflecting the change information from the information of the parent part work DB 41 and the information of the configuration work DB 42, respectively.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the transition of the configuration information. Master D when the configuration of the unit part F12 is changed from the configuration management number 001 to the configuration management number 002
The contents of B43 and B43 are shown in a table format.

The contents of the parent component master DB 43 change from the state of Table 1 to the state of Table 3, and the contents of the configuration master DB 44 change from the state of Table 2 to the state of Table 4. In Tables 1 and 3, the configuration management number is a number indicating the number of changes to the parent part, the parent part is the part number of the parent part, and the processing date is the date and time when the change processing was performed. It is.

In Tables 2 and 4, the parent part is the part number of the parent part, the child part is the part number of the child part, the number is the number of child parts with respect to the parent part, and the additional management number is The configuration management number of the parent part when the parent / child information is added, and the deletion management number is the configuration management number of the parent part when the parent / child information is deleted.

In Tables 3 and 4, records marked with “→” are records added by change.
Records marked with “←” are records in which only the deletion management number has been updated due to the change.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the processing procedure of the history information management processing program executed by the CPU 12. The host computer 10 changes the configuration of the parent (unit) component F12 in advance as shown in FIG. 2, and registers the change information in the parent component work DB 41 and the configuration work DB 42. Then, when a history information creation processing request is input from the terminal 16, information on the designated parent part is acquired from the parent part work DB 41 (step S1, parent part information acquisition step).

It is determined whether or not there is a record in the acquired parent part information (step S2, parent part information acquisition presence / absence determination step). If there is no record, the process is terminated. If there is a record, the parent part F12 is deleted. The latest configuration management number record is acquired from the parent component master DB 43 (step S3, latest configuration management number record acquisition step). FIG.
Then, the latest configuration management number of the parent part F12 acquired at this time is “001”.

Then, it is determined whether or not the latest configuration management number record is present (step S4, latest configuration management number record acquisition presence / absence determination step). If the latest configuration management number record is present, the configuration work DB 42 stores the parent component F12. It is determined whether or not the configuration has been changed (step S6,
Parent component configuration change determination step).

If any part has been changed, the configuration management number is incremented by one and the parent part management information is registered in the parent part master DB 43 (step S8, parent part management information registration step). Here, since there is a change in the configuration of the parent part F12, the record of the configuration management number 002 is registered.

On the other hand, if there is no change in the configuration, a record with the configuration management number as it is is registered in the parent component master DB 43 (step S7), and the process returns to step S1. On the other hand, if there is no latest configuration management number record in step S4, the record of the configuration management number 001 is registered in the parent component master DB 43 (step S5), and the process proceeds to step S9.

Subsequently, one piece of configuration information of the parent part F12 is obtained from the configuration work DB 42 (step S9, configuration information obtaining step). It is determined whether or not there is a record in the acquired configuration information (step S10, configuration information acquisition presence / absence determination step). If there is no record, the process returns to step S1, and if there is a record, there is a configuration change for that record. Is determined (step S11,
Configuration change presence / absence determination step).

If there is a configuration change, it is determined whether or not the change is a child part addition (step S12, child part addition determination step). When the child component is added, the parent / child configuration information is registered in the configuration master DB 44 (step S1).
3. Configuration information registration step). Here, assuming that the acquired record is a record of the child part FB4, since the child part is added, the parent part F12,
The number of records of the child part FB4 is 4, the additional management number 00
2. Register with a blank deletion management number. On the other hand, if the child component is not added in step S12, the process proceeds directly to step S1.
The processing moves to the processing of step 4.

If the configuration information obtained in step S9 has been changed, it is determined whether or not the change is a child part deletion (step S14, child part deletion determination step). In the case of child component deletion, the deletion management number of the parent / child configuration information in the configuration master DB 44 is updated from blank to the configuration management number of the parent component F12 (step S1).
5. Configuration information deletion step). Here, assuming that the acquired record is a record of the child part FB3, since the child part is deleted, the parent part F in the configuration master DB 44 is deleted.
12. The record of the child part FB3 and the number of members 3 is updated from the blank of the deletion management number to “002”. On the other hand, if the child component is not deleted in step S14, step S1
The process moves to the process of step 6.

Further, if the configuration information obtained in step S9 has been changed, it is determined whether or not the change is a change in the number of child parts (step S16, a step of determining a change in the number of child parts). If the number of child parts is to be changed, the deletion management number of the record before the change in the number of parent / child configuration information in the configuration master DB 44 is updated from blank to the configuration management number of the parent part F12, and the record after the number of changes is registered. (Steps S17, S18, configuration information update step). Here, assuming that the acquired record is a record of the child part FG2, the number of child parts is changed, and therefore, the parent part F12 and the child part FG are stored in the configuration master DB 44.
2. The deletion management number of the record having the number of members 2 is updated from blank to “002”, and the parent part F12 and the child part FG are further updated.
Record 2 is registered with the number of members 1, the additional management number 002, and the deletion management number blank. Thereafter, the process returns to step S9.

In the parent part management information registration step of step S8, a processing date and time is added to the parent part management information. Then, by specifying the parent part and the date and time, the configuration management number of the parent part at that time can be acquired from the parent part master DB 43. Then, the configuration information at the designated time is such that, in the configuration master DB 44, of the parent component configuration information, the additional management number is less than or equal to the configuration management number and the deletion management number is larger than the configuration management number or blank. I have. Thus, when the date and time are specified, the configuration at that time can be restored.

Furthermore, by assigning a management number indicating the number of the change instruction to the parent part management information, even when no change has been made in the parent part for which the configuration change has been instructed, it can be managed as a history. Can be.

By assigning the management number and the configuration management number before the change to the parent part work DB 41, the same processing can be performed even if the latest management number record acquisition step in step S3 is omitted.

Further, an addition / deletion code indicating addition / deletion of a child part is added to the configuration work DB 42, and the number of members is set to two before and after the change, thereby obtaining steps S6 and S1.
In the configuration change determination steps of 1, S12, S14, and S16, the configuration work DB 42 and the configuration master DB 44 can be determined only by using the information of the configuration work DB 42 without comparing them.

When a master part to change existing configuration information is designated in the master DBs 43 and 44, a work DB creation step of copying parent part management information and configuration information of the parent part from the master DB to a work DB, , A work DB deletion step of deleting the work DB information for the parent part.
Work DBs 41 and 42 created in the B creation step
After the above information is corrected, the configuration information is registered in the master DBs 43 and 44 by the above method, and the information of the parent part is deleted in the work DB deletion step.

Further, for the configuration information that does not exist in the master DBs 43 and 44, the parent component management information and the configuration information are created in the work DBs 41 and 42, and then the configuration information is registered in the master DBs 43 and 44 by the above method.
In the work DB deletion step, information of the parent part is deleted.

As described above, in the information management system and the history information management method of the present embodiment, the master DB that manages the history of the configuration information of the unit component (including the product) composed of a plurality of components is stored as the information of the parent component. The configuration information is divided into two parts, information on the parent part is given a configuration management number indicating the number of changes, the configuration information is managed for each combination of parts and child parts, and each record is additionally managed By preparing a number and a deletion management number and managing the history of the configuration information using the two management numbers, the amount of data to be held can be reduced, and resources can be used effectively.

Further, by adding the processing date and time to the information of the parent component, the configuration at the specified date and time can be accurately and easily restored for the specified parent component.

Further, by assigning a management number indicating the number of the change instruction to the information of the parent part, even if the specified parent part has not been changed, the history of no change is managed. can do.

Further, by assigning the management number before the change to the parent part work DB, it is not necessary to search the master DB in order to obtain the latest management information, so that the efficiency can be further improved.

Further, by adding an addition / deletion code to the configuration work DB and changing the number of child parts before and after the change, the master DB and the work DB are compared in order to know the configuration change status. This eliminates the necessity, allows processing to be performed by searching only the work DB, and further increases efficiency.

Further, when the data to be searched is small, the occurrence of competition with other processing at the time of searching is reduced, which is more efficient.

The present invention can cope with a case where there are a plurality of parent parts to be processed, and the management target is not limited to the component configuration information, and changes occur at regular and irregular intervals such as inventory management information and personnel information. It can be applied to history management of various information.

A workstation or a personal computer can be applied as the host computer, and various databases and files can be applied to the storage device.

Further, the present invention may be applied to a system including a plurality of devices, or may be applied to an apparatus including a single device. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to a case where the present invention is achieved by supplying a program to a system or an apparatus. In this case, by reading out a storage medium storing a program represented by software for achieving the present invention into a system or an apparatus, the system or the apparatus can enjoy the effects of the present invention.
