Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of use] The present invention relates to a system initial setting method for initializing the contents of a system file, initial information of a TSS function, etc. in a system.

[Conventional technology]

In the system initialization of a computer system, etc., the initialization of the entire system such as the setting of the number of jobs to be executed simultaneously in the system, the generation of files used in the system, the initialization of each extended function such as TSS are performed. In the past, this type of system initialization could only be done at system startup. In addition, the inconsistency between the initial settings of the entire system, the generation of system files, and the initial settings of various extended functions was checked by the operation manager after checking the results of the initial settings.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, in order to change the initial setting information after the system is operating, the system must be stopped once,
When the operation manager overlooks the error, there is a drawback that the system starts to operate with the inconsistent initial settings.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a system initial setting method capable of dynamically changing the initial setting information while the system is operating and automatically checking the contradiction between the initial settings.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention sets a system initial setting unit for setting, in the setting information storage unit, data relating to the initial setting of the entire system, which is input from the setting information storage unit and the data input unit. System file generation unit for generating a file based on the data related to the file used in the system input from the system and setting the data related to the generated file in the setting information storage unit, and various extended functions input from the data input unit Initializing means having a function setting part for setting data relating to the initial setting of the setting information storing means, and data set in the setting information storing means by the system initializing part, the system file generating part and the function setting part. Enter and check the mutual relationship inconsistencies between the data Check means and the data input means are selectively connected to the system initial setting part, the system file generating part and the function setting part in the initial setting means, and an error is generated when the inconsistency is detected by the mutual check means. When no contradiction is detected by the setting selecting means for reporting and the mutual checking means, exclusive control of the initial setting value storage means is performed, and the initial setting value storage is performed based on the contents stored in the setting information storage means. And information changing means for changing the contents of the means while the system is operating.

[Action]

The data input means such as a TSS terminal is connected to the system initial setting section included in the initial setting means by the setting selection means,
When you enter the data for the system-wide initial settings,
The system initial setting unit sets these data in the setting information storage means. Further, when the data input means is connected to the system file generation section to input the data regarding the file used in the system, the system file generation section generates a file based on these data and the data regarding the generated file is transferred to the setting information storage means. Set to. Further, when the data input means is connected to the function setting section to input data relating to initial setting of various extended functions, the function setting section sets these data in the setting information storage means.

Next, the mutual check means checks the contradiction of the mutual relationship between the contents set in the setting information storage means. If there is a contradiction, the setting selection means reports an error to the data input means. As a result, it is possible to prevent the system from starting to operate in the inconsistent initial setting state.

If there is no contradiction, the information changing means performs exclusive control of the initial setting value storage means, and changes the contents of the initial setting value storage means during system operation based on the contents stored in the setting information storage means. As a result, the initial setting information can be dynamically changed.

〔Example〕

 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a system to which the present invention is applied. This system includes terminals such as TSS terminal 1
Setting setting means 2, initial setting means 3, setting information storage means 4, mutual check means 5, and information changing means 6
And an initialization value storage means 7 and a synchronization mechanism 8. Further, the initial setting means 3 includes a system initial setting section 31 for initializing the entire system, a system file generating section 32 for generating a file used in the system,
For example, the TSS initial setting unit 33 and the communication environment setting unit 34 perform initial setting for each of the various extension functions. The information changing unit 6 includes a system initial setting value changing unit 61, a TSS initial setting value changing unit 62, and , A communication environment initial set value changing unit 63, and the initial set value storage means 7 includes a system initial set value storage unit 71, a TSS initial set value storage unit 72, and a communication environment set value storage unit 73. Has been done.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

When performing the initial setting, first, the TSS terminal 1 is connected to the setting selecting means 2 and the setting selecting means 2 selects which initial setting is to be performed. Now, when the user of the terminal 1 instructs to perform the initial setting of the entire system, the setting selection means 2 connects the system initial setting unit 31 to the terminal 1, and the system initial setting unit 31 relates to the initial setting of the entire system. information,
For example, information such as the number of jobs to be executed simultaneously, which storage medium to use as backing storage, and how much capacity to have as SYSOUT is displayed on the terminal 1.
When the user of the terminal 1 responds in sequence while looking at the display screen, the content of the response is added to the system type setting section 31 via the setting selection means 2, and the system initial setting section 31 sets the response content. The data is sequentially stored in the system initial setting area of the information storage means 4.

Further, when the user of the terminal 1 gives an instruction to generate a system file, the setting selection means 2 causes the system file generation unit 32.
Is connected to the terminal 1, the terminal user sequentially inputs a required system file and its capacity, and this input information is transferred to the system file generation unit 32 via the setting selection means 2.
In addition, the system file generator 32 sequentially generates the designated files. Then, after this generation, the system file generation unit 32 stores information on files generated for the mutual check described later, for example, what kind of files were generated and how much capacity is in the setting information storage means 4. Sequentially store in the system file initialization area.

Next, when the user of the terminal 1 switches to the TSS initial setting, the setting selection means 2 causes the TSS initial setting unit 33 and the terminal 1 to operate.
Is connected to the TSS initial setting unit 33, and information about the setting of the environment for operating the TSS, for example, how many jobs are allocated to the TSS, what kind of terminal is connected to which line, etc. Information is displayed on the terminal 1. When the user of the terminal 1 responds sequentially while looking at the display screen, the content of the response is stored in the TSS initial setting area of the setting information storage means 4 via the setting selection means 2 and the TSS initial setting unit 33. .

Similarly, when initializing the communication environment, the communication environment setting unit 34 displays information about the communication environment, such as communication network definition information, on the terminal 1, and when there is a response, The content of the response is stored in the communication environment setting area of the setting information storage means 4.

When the information necessary for the initial setting this time is stored in the setting information storage means 4 as described above, the mutual check means 5 is activated in response to the termination instruction of the terminal 1, for example. When the mutual check means 5 is activated, the system initial setting section is executed based on the contents stored in each area of the setting information storage means 4.
31, system file generation unit 32, TSS initial setting unit 33,
It is sequentially checked whether or not there is a contradiction in the initial settings between the communication environment setting units 34, and if there is a contradiction, an error message including, for example, the initial setting contents in which the contradiction has occurred is displayed on the terminal 1. The contradictions checked by the mutual check means 5 are as follows.

Despite the initial setting of the storage medium used as backing storage in the system initial setting section 31,
No file is assigned to the backing storage in the system file generator 32.

The number of jobs for TSS set by the TSS initial setting unit 33 is larger than the number of jobs to be executed simultaneously set by the system initial setting unit 31.

The file used by the TSS initialization unit 33 is not created by the system file creation unit 32.

When the terminal configurations set by the TSS initial setting unit 33 and the communication environment setting unit 34 are different.

As described above, when the inconsistency between the initial settings is found by the mutual check means 5, an error message is displayed on the terminal 1, so that the terminal user can know the initial setting error. If so, the initial settings related to file generation are performed again, and the TSS initial setting section
If the setting in 33 is incorrect, the contradiction can be resolved by correcting the content.

If no contradiction is found by the mutual checking means 5, the information changing means 6 is activated. When the information changing unit 6 is activated, the system initial setting value changing unit 61 and the TSS initial setting value changing unit 6 are operated according to the stored contents of the setting information storage unit 4.
2. The setting values of the system initial set value storage section 71, the TSS initial set value storage section 72, and the communication environment set value storage section 73 of the initial set value storage means 7 are changed by using the communication environment set value changing section 63. Since the setting values in the storage units 71, 72, 73 are referred to by various programs,
This initial setting value can be immediately reflected in the system.

Here, since each set value of the initial set value storage means 7 is referred to by various programs during system operation, synchronization is taken in order to prevent changing during the reference. Will be updated. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, each change unit 61, 62, 63 has a corresponding storage unit 71,
When the contents of 72 and 73 are changed, the lock of the storage units 71, 72 and 73 corresponding to the synchronization mechanism 8 is changed (step S1),
Storage unit corresponding to the lock permission from the synchronization mechanism 8
71, 72 and 73 are changed (steps S2 and S3), and then an unlock request is made (step S4). On the other hand,
The program that refers to the storage units 71, 72, 73 is the synchronization mechanism 8
To the storage unit 71, 72, 73 (step S10), and after receiving the lock permission (step S10).
1, S12) and then an unlock request is made (step S13).

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically check various initial setting errors, for example, between the extended function and the system or between the extended functions, by the mutual check means, thus reducing the burden on the system operator. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the risk of operating the system with incorrect initial setting information. When the mutual check means does not detect a contradiction, the information changing means performs exclusive control of the initial setting value storage means and operates the contents of the initial setting value storage means based on the contents stored in the setting information storage means. Since it is changed in the middle, it is not necessary to stop the operation of the system as in the conventional case, and there is an effect that the operation of the system can be continued easily.
