Abstract

PURPOSE:To lower a system construction expense, and to restart a processing by a spare system in a short time when a system in use is failed, by coupling between the CPU of a system in use and the CPU of the spare system with an on-line adapter, and also providing a communication means between each service processor. CONSTITUTION:An on-line transaction job program (QLTP)11 of the system in use issues information that the QLTP11 itself is operated normally, with an interval of 4sec. The CPU2, receiving the information, sends heartbeat communication to the CPU4 of the spare system through the on-line adapter 5. The monitoring program 32 of the spare system is started up under the control of an operating system QS33, and an access but to a terminal equipment is opened tentatively, and the QLTP31 is set in a waiting state just before execution. At this time, when the QS13 in operating a processing is fallen in a stalled stated, the heartbeat communication is not performed any more, and when the CPU4 of the spare system detects the generation of abnormality in the system in use, the CPU4 issues the complete stop request of the system in use to the service processor 7, and after stopping the system the monitoring program 32 issues an execution instruction request to the QLTP31 in the waiting state, and thereby, the re-acceptance of a telegram from the terminal equipment can be available in a short time.
