Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a system generated information management method for updating system generated information for using message transfer information between computers constructing a message transfer network.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in order to update system generated information for using message forwarding information between computers constructing a message forwarding network, it is necessary to create a system generated file that covers the message forwarding information of this system again. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, in the conventional method, a system raw h file containing all message transfer information of the system is created again. , all the system-generated file information had to be transferred every time it was updated, which had the disadvantage of taking time to transfer the files.

The present invention has been made to improve these conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide a system-generated information management method that can shorten file transfer time when updating system-generated information to utilize message transfer mechanisms. Our goal is to provide the following.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The system-generated information management method of the present invention includes a system-generated update information creation unit that creates system-generated update information when the system-generated information needs to be updated; a system-generated file update information creation means for creating a system-generated file transfer time by analyzing the system-generated update information created by the information creation means and the system-generated file currently in use; a file transfer means for distributing system generation file update information created by the system generation file update information creation means to each converter in order to update the system generation file; and system-generated file updating means for updating the system-generated file based on the system-generated file.

[Operation] When it is necessary to update system generated information, system generated update information is created, and system generated file update information is created based on this and the system generated file.

In the present invention, the created system-generated file update information is transferred to each computer, thereby updating the system-generated file of each computer.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a combiner network system to which the present invention is applied. First, referring to FIG. 2, the computer network 10 includes a plurality of computers A-
A message transfer network is constructed by connecting computers B to F to the mask computer A, and a computer person acting as a mask computer.

In this embodiment, each computer A to F has a system generation file that covers the system generation information of all comviators A to F that make up the 11m message transfer network, so that system generation can be centrally managed. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to update the system-generated information that is being managed originally when it becomes necessary to update it, the system-generated update information is created as shown in Fig. 1. The system generation update information creation means 1 analyzes the system generation update information created by the system generation update information creation means 1 and the system generation file currently in use, and determines the location where the system generation file needs to be updated. (block number, record number, byte position, and update information size) and update contents, and a system-generated file update information creation means 2 that creates system-generated file update information, and a system-generated file that each computer has. In order to update all of a system-generated file update means 4 for updating a system-generated file based on the system-generated file; and a message transfer program for restarting the message transfer program in order to reflect the system-generated information of the updated system-generated file in the message transfer program. means 5.

Next, in such a configuration, a process to be performed when it becomes necessary to update system generated information will be specifically described.

When it becomes necessary to change the system-generated information used in the message transfer program of the computer network 10, the system-generated update information creation means 1:
The change information is written for each computer A to F, and system generated update information @ is created. The system generation information used in the message transfer program includes the system configuration information of each computer A to F connected to the computer network 10, and the system configuration information of each computer A to F connected to the computer network 10.
It is composed of network information indicating which computers A to F are connected to.

Covers the entire network. After creating system-generated update information, system-generated file update information creation means 2
As shown in FIG. 3, system generated update information 3-1 created by system generated update information creation means 1,
System generated file 3-2 used in the message transfer program of this computer network 10
, system generated file update information creation 7'ogram 3
-3 to create system-generated file update information 3-4 by describing in a table how to update the system-generated file 3-2.

To explain such processing in more detail using the flowchart of FIG. 4, the system-generated file update information creation program first analyzes the system-generated update information (Stella 7'4-1). As a result of this analysis, if there is a specification error in the system-generated update information (step 4-2),
If there is no error, determine how to update the system-generated file based on the analysis result and the system-generated file, and update the system-generated file accordingly. Create information (Stella 7'4-3). i.e. the location (block number,
record number, byte position, and update information size),
Create system-generated file update information by writing the update contents in a table. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the format of a table of system-generated file update information created in this way. In the table of FIG. 5, the 10th record of block #2 of the system-generated file, byte position " All 4-byte pits from 0” are 0NK-f.
Which indicates that.

On the other hand, when creating system-generated file update information, if there is a contradiction between the system-generated update information and the system-generated file (Stella 7'4-4), an error message is output (Stella'f4-5).

When the system-generated file update information is created, the file transfer means 3 uses the file transfer management table to perform the procedure shown in FIG.
Allow file transfer to occur. An example of a file transfer management table is shown in FIG. 71, and the file transfer management table 7-1 in FIG. 7 indicates whether file transfer has been completed in each computer A to F. If it is completed, "1 done" is written, otherwise "#-i1 not yet done" is written.

At first, only the computer name is described in this table 7-1 as an initial value, and the file transfer means 3 reads the code one by one from this table 7-1 (step 6-1), reads it in the last record 1, and then converts the file into the table. 7-1
It is determined whether the process has been completed (step 6-2). If Table 7-1 is not finished, the file is transferred to the designated computer. In this file transfer, computer B-
If the message transfer program is started in F (and the mask computer A,!: Stella 7'6-3) is connected, create it using the system generated file update information creation means 2. The updated system-generated file update information is transferred as a file (Step 6-4), and "1 completed" is written in the table (Stella 7'6-5).

On the other hand, if it is not connected to the mask computer A, no file transfer is performed, and "°" is written in the table (Stella 7'6-6).

After the above processing is completed, scan table 7-1 to determine whether the file transfer is complete (step 6-7).
). If it has not been completed yet, the operator of mask computer A will update the system-generated file update information for the computer systems described as "not yet" in the table (computer C and computer E in the example in Figure 7). When the transfer system recognizes that the reception of the core file has been completed and instructs the transfer using a center command, etc.
The computers are connected and files are transferred (step 6-8).

Next, the system-generated file updating means 4 updates the system-generated file according to the processing procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, the system generated file update means 4 reads code by code from the system generated file update information transferred by the file transfer means 3 (
Step 8-1) Write the specified contents to the specified location (block number, record number, byte position, and update information size) of the system generated file until the table reaches the final record (Stella f 8-2 ), the system generated file is updated (step 8-3).

In this way, in this embodiment, when it is necessary to update the system-generated information, only the updated information of the system-generated file is distributed to each converter using file transfer. Compared to the traditional method of transferring system-generated files to each converter,
File transfer time can be shortened. ``Effects of the Invention'' As explained above, in the present invention, when it is necessary to update system-generated information, only the update information of the system-generated file is transferred to each computer. Because
This has the effect of reducing file transfer time.
