JPS6123236A - Correction and control system of object program - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent miscorrections of an object program by deciding whether a partial correction is applied to the object program after controlling a correction history and checking the propriety of the correction data or the object program is totally replaced with another object program. CONSTITUTION:A partial correction means 50 supplies the partial correction data 40 to check the propriety of the correction order by a correction history control means 60 and corrects an object program stored in an object program store medium 10. The means 60 stores the control data including the dates of partial corrections to a correction history control table 70 in the medium 10 together with the correction history data. A total replacement means 30 supplies an object program 20 for replacement and checks the priority of the correction history, etc. to the object program for the total replacement as well as the renewal of the correction history data. The means 60 applies selectively both means 50 and 30.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a modification management method for object programs in an information processing system.

[Prior art]

Programs that control the computer's central processing unit and data input/output related devices, operating systems, application programs, and other general software object programs are individually modified, resulting in different object programs. Difficult to synchronize revisions during the process, ω) Since the revision history was managed using a management form, revision errors occur due to management errors such as entry errors.
8) When making partial corrections, when replacing all the files that have managed the correction history, problems such as reversal of corrections may occur because the correction history was not managed in such a way as to clear the correction history of partial corrections. There were drawbacks.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a modification management system for object programs that can synchronize modifications between different object programs and prevent the occurrence of erroneous modifications or reverse modifications.

[Structure of the invention]

The object program modification management method of the present invention includes means for partially modifying the object program by checking the validity of modification data for the object program, and means for collectively replacing the object program with a replacement object program. and means for applying either of the above two means while managing the modification history.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The object program storage medium 10' stores an object program for system startup. The partial correction means 50 inputs the partial correction data 40 and checks the validity of the correction data (when correcting data at a certain address, check if the address is correct, and correct it with correction data at the address) Furthermore, the modification history management means 60 checks the validity of the modification order (whether the modification order corresponds to a predetermined order button), and if there is no error, the object program in the object program storage medium 10 is modified. The modification history management means 60 stores management data such as the modification date of a partially modified object program in a modification history management table 70 in the object program management medium IO, and also stores management data such as the modification date of a partially modified object program. Set the information. The batch replacement means 80 inputs the replacement object program 20 and replaces it with the object program storage medium lO.
Check the validity of the modification history, etc. for the same object program in the same object program, perform bulk replacement, and update the modification history management table? Update the modification history data regarding the replaced object program in θ. Further, the modification history management means 60 includes a partial modification means 50 and a batch replacement means 80.
can be selectively applied, and the contents of the modification history management table 70 can be output as a list.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention separately performs partial modification and bulk replacement of object programs, and by managing modification history, it is possible to prevent troubles such as υ, omission of modifications, and reversal of the modification order. Modifications between different object programs can be synchronized.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] In a modification management method for an object program loaded in a readable/writable storage location, means for partially modifying the object program by checking the validity of modification data for the object program. An object program comprising: a means for replacing the object program at once with a replacement object program; and a means for applying one of the above two means while managing a modification history. modification management method.
