Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to the generation of an operating system, and is suitable for incorporating related programs into the operating system. Concerning how to embed programs.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional techniques, for example, as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. Sho 61-7592, describe the combination and editing of modules when incorporating them into an operating system; No consideration was given to incorporating the

In general. Incorporation of the program into the operating system (hereinafter referred to as target OS) is as follows.

(1) Create a job control statement for each embedded program and install the programs one by one.

(2) Install one job at a time using the built-in program and the built-in job control statements provided in J(.

In both (1) and (2), one program is installed as one job, and each time one program is installed, the next job is started.

[Problem that 11JJ is trying to solve] The above conventional technology does not take into consideration the fact that multiple programs are successively installed into the target OS, and as the number of programs to be installed increases, the installation time and man-hours increase. There was a problem.

An object of the present invention is to significantly shorten the installation time by installing a plurality of programs in a continuous manner.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above objectives, computer systems are equipped with auxiliary storage devices such as magnetic disk devices and magnetic tape devices, and VDT.
Collect information to install the hardware and program from etc., copy the program to the target OS,
Processing '! that has a processing program that has the function of establishing linkage with the target OS as necessary! The A position is used, a;

[Effect]

The processing program operates as follows.

(1) Information for installing the program into the target OS is collected, for example, from the magnetic tape on which the installed program is stored, and the installation information is stored. (2) Create a control statement for the embedded job from this information.

(3) Secure the storage space necessary to incorporate the program into the target OS.

(4) Copy the program to the target OS and perform linkage between the target OS and the embedded OS as necessary.

〔Example〕

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

As an example, the target operating system (
It is assumed that a program to be installed into the target OS (hereinafter abbreviated as target 1 OS) is provided on a magnetic tape.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the entire system of this embodiment.

The magnetic tape 1 stores programs (one or more) scheduled to be installed in the target OS and their information.

The VDT 2 inputs data, instructs and monitors work, and so on. This is done in accordance with the guidance provided by the processing program to the VDT.

Target 083 is the operating system into which the program will be installed.

The embedding information storage table 4 is an embedding file created based on information on the magnetic tape or information input from the VDT.

The processing device 5 has a processing program 6, is activated by instructions from the VDT, and performs processing of embedded information, program integration, and the like.

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the data.

The magnetic tape 11 stores a group of programs to be installed in the target OS, information on installing the programs into the target OS, and magnetic tape configuration information. This information is incorporated into the system before the program group is installed, and creates the information table 12 shown in FIG. 2 (2>).

The information table 12 is the processing device? 15 real memory or external storage device, and is referenced when installing a program into the target OS. In the information table 12,
A unique name that identifies each embedded program, the name of the data set 1 (or file) to which it is embedded on the target OS, the amount of space required to incorporate it, and the target OS.
Linkage information with S is essential.

Then, the above-mentioned respective space amounts are totaled for each data set to which the target 1/OS is installed, and the total space amount is stored.

This totaling is performed by the processing program when the table 12 is created.

A method for incorporating a program from a magnetic tape into a target OS will be described below according to the flowchart i. of FIG.

When this system is started, guidance provided by the processing program 6 is displayed on the VDT 2.

Most of the data needed to create the control statements for an execution job is
This can be obtained from the processing program 6 and the program information on the magnetic tape 11, but any missing information can be input according to this guidance (101).

(Whether the '!VA'' Ii address used in this work, data set 1, name new system, etc.) Using that control statement, the program information from the magnetic tape 1 is reloaded into the system, and the program embedded information table is created. Create (1 0 3).In the table, information on each program necessary for integration and the amount of space of the data set or file for each installation destination, which is aggregated based on this information, are recorded.

A job control statement necessary for program installation is generated from this table and the data previously input from the VDT (104).

In the case of a new work or system, create a data set for the embedded program in the target OS by referring to the total space value of the data set for each embedded destination in the table (106)
.

When adding a program to an existing system, check whether there is enough space for the program you are about to incorporate by comparing the total space value of the data set for each table embedding destination with the existing system's data set (1 0 7 )
.

If there is a shortage as a result, the space of the data set to be incorporated is expanded to compensate for the shortage (108).

After the above preparation is completed, the first program in the magnetic tape 11 is copied to the data set of the target OS according to the job control statement. Also, the program to be installed and the target O
If linkage with S is necessary, do it (109)
.

Then, the above operation (109) is continued until all programs on the magnetic tape 11 are executed (110). When the installation of all programs is completed, the execution results are displayed on the VDT2 and the process is completed (111). [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to construct a system that allows a plurality of programs to be continuously installed into a target OS without interruption, and there is an effect that the programs can be installed efficiently and in a short time.
