Publication number: 20210406226Abstract: At present, on the basis of microservice, capabilities and applications of a monolithic integrated system are transitioned to a component system and rebuilt. However, the application of microservice to a shared database has not sufficiently been under study. A system building assisting apparatus of the present invention uses, in building of a component system, access history aggregation table indicating access history of access to a database for a production control system corresponding to an integrated system to be analyzed, to classify data items constituting the database as “individual data” or “common data.” At this time, the system building assisting apparatus desirably uses a capability corresponding to an access source indicated by the access history to classify each of the data items as “individual data” or “common data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Eiji NISHIJIMA, Masafumi OKADA, Natsuhiko INAKI
