Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the hang-up of a system due to the fact that a communication processing volume exceeds the throughput of the system by selecting a communication line with the lowest priority order when the communication processing volume exceeds the throughput, and setting a selected communication line at an inoperable state. CONSTITUTION:A control means 104 judges whether or not the communication processing volume detected by a communication processing volume detecting means 101 exceeds the throughput of the system. When the processing volume exceeds the throughput, the control means 104 selects the communication line with the lowest priority order out of available communication lines by referring to the priority order of individual communication line set on a priority order storage means 103 in advance. Furthermore, the control means 104 issues an instruction to set the selected communication line at the inoperable state to a connection state change means 102, and the connection state change means 102, after informing the fact that the communication processing volume exceeds the throughput to an indicated communication line, sets the communication line at the inoperable state. In such a way, it is possible to suppress abnormality in data or the hang-up of the whole system.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic configuration control method for an information processing system, and more particularly to automatic configuration control for communication throughput of an information processing system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of information processing system has not had a function to detect when the amount of communication processing exceeds the processing capacity of the system and automatically take some kind of countermeasure.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional information processing systems mentioned above did not have a function to automatically take some action when the amount of communication processing exceeded its processing capacity, which could lead to data abnormalities or, in some cases, the suspension of the entire system. Sometimes it happened.

[Means to solve the problem]

The configuration of the automatic configuration control method for an information processing system of the present invention includes a means for detecting the communication processing amount of the information processing system, a means for arbitrarily changing the connection state of each communication line constituting the communication processing section, and a means for detecting the communication processing amount of the information processing system. By having means for setting line priorities in advance, data abnormalities and system-wide stoppages caused by the amount of communication processing exceeding the processing capacity of the system can be suppressed, and the system can be automatically degraded and operated. It is characterized by being able to

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing two embodiments of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the process flow of FIG. 1.

In FIG. 1, communication processing amount detection means 101 is means for detecting the communication processing amount of the system, and connection state changing means 102
is a means for arbitrarily changing the connection state of each communication line, the priority storage means 103 is a means for presetting the priority of each communication line, and the control means 104 is a means for controlling the whole.

Regarding the communication processing amount detected by the communication processing amount detection means 101, the control means 104 determines whether the processing amount exceeds the processing capacity of the system (steps 201 and 202 in FIG. 2). If the processing amount exceeds the processing capacity, the control means 104 refers to the priority order of each communication line preset in the priority order storage means 103 and prioritizes the available communication lines. The communication line with the lowest ranking is selected (step 203 in FIG. 2).

Further, the control means 104 instructs the connection state changing means 102 to disable the selected communication line, and the connection state changing means 102 controls the communication throughput for the instructed communication line. After notifying that the communication line exceeds the processing capacity, the communication line is made unusable (step 204 in FIG. 2).

The above procedure is repeated until the amount of communication processing no longer exceeds the processing capacity.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention includes a means for detecting the amount of communication processing, a means for arbitrarily changing the connection state of each communication line constituting the communication processing section, and a means for presetting the priority order of the communication lines. This has the effect of suppressing data abnormalities and stopping the entire system due to the amount of communication processing exceeding the processing capacity of the system, and automatically degenerating the system for operation.
