Here, the virtual server agent control unit 300 controls the information stored in the meta information storage unit 200 by the user so that the user can manage the information stored in the meta information storage unit 200 And the virtual server agent control unit 300 further includes an interface for processing information transmitted through the agent 410. [

This will be described in more detail.

The system 1000 according to the present invention comprises a management layer for managing meta information.

The management layer includes a meta information storage unit 200 for storing actual meta information, a user interface for allowing a user to manage information stored in the meta information storage unit 200, and an interface for processing information transmitted through the agent .

The system 1000 provides a management system and functions for detailed functions.

First, the meta information management unit 100 of the automated process system 1000 for operating processes based on cloud and virtualization utilizing meta information according to the present invention integrally manages virtualization server meta information and software meta information.

That is, the software information is integrated into the meta information of the virtual server. By registering software that defines one or more functions running on a single virtual server and registering the necessary parameters in the registered software, an environment in which the server can run in a physical virtualization environment is configured. The software and environment variable values included in the virtual server meta information are copied by registering the original value, and when the value of the original software and the variable is changed, the meta information using the corresponding value is automatically or synchronously selected by the user . This synchronization function can facilitate the operation and management of the software.

Since meta information about a virtual server is not dependent on a specific hardware device and a virtualization environment, it can be copied and moved to any environment necessary for IT service operation. Based on the copied and transferred meta information, And can generate and operate a display server.

Next, the meta information storage unit 200 of the automated process system 1000 for operating processes based on cloud and virtualization using the meta information according to the present invention plays a role as a repository for storing meta information.

2. Specifying the execution order of the functions of the software registered in the heterogeneous virtual server and executing it.

3. Execute a software function set in a plurality of virtual servers of the same or different kinds to be executed in a specific virtual server.

4. Suspend the execution of the connection according to the user setting.

5. Analyze the execution result of the software function executed in the virtual server and execute the software function registered in the other virtual server according to the execution result value.

In order to execute the operation management function, which is a bundle of connected functions, an integrated execution management number (Transaction ID) is issued and assigned in units of bundle so that the bundle unit can be divided and classified. The issued issuance number is assigned to the bundle execution Ensure uniqueness. When the software functions included in the operations management function are executed in the virtual server, they have the uniqueness of the executed and executed results according to the following principles.

Uniqueness of Identity = Operation ID + Transaction ID + Software ID + Event ID + Instance ID

Here, the Operation ID is an ID assigned to the operation management function unit and has a unique value in the operation management function.

The Transaction ID is issued for each operation management function every time the operation management function is executed, and has a unique value that is not duplicated each time it is executed.

The software ID has a unique value for each software in the software meta information management system.

Event ID is the only value issued by function in the same software.

Instance ID has a unique value for each virtual server physically created in the virtual server meta information management system.

Next, a meta information management system for correlation management between virtual servers for executing functions of software registered in different virtual servers will be described.

The process automation function according to the present invention is a process automation function in which a virtual server that executes an automation function to manage processing between successive functions in an environment where different software operates in different servers as well as servers operating in the same server is called an originator, And define individual servers to which each software function is performed as a listener.

A listener is a virtual server in which individual software functions are executed, and is transmitted through the virtual server agent control unit 300 when the function necessary for execution of the context information is executed.

In addition, the Originator is the information of the virtual server that originally executed the automation function (a set of sequential software functions). If the server on which the software function is executed is different from the virtual server that requested the automation function, And the virtual server on which the software function is executed is the same as the virtual server on which the automation function is requested, the information of the executor and the requester are the same.

Next, a process automation processing method in a cloud and virtualization-based operational process automation processing system 1000 using meta information according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a process automation process flow of an automation processing system based on cloud and virtualization using meta information according to the present invention.
