Abstract: A delay in a configuration changing operation of a computer system including a manual procedure and an automatic procedure is detected. Based on actions of a setup tool or a configuration tool operated on IT resources, an event which occurs corresponding to the start and the end of a manual procedure is detected and the actual time of the manual procedure is calculated from the detection time points. Next, a delay rate is calculated from a scheduled time and the actual time of the manual procedure, and an end time point of an incomplete operation procedure is estimated from an estimated time required for the manual procedure with the calculated delay rate taken into account and from a time required for the automatic procedure to determine whether the scheduled operation will be finished within a period.

Abstract: An absolute path name and a command line of a process associated with a process operating on a business server are found from process information acquired from the business server. A standard process decision unit judges an OS standard process. An interpreter decision unit judges an interpreter name from the command line. A shared directory decision unit judges an executive file name located directly under a shared directory. A subdirectory decision unit judges a parent-child relation of an executive file directory from the absolute path name of the executable file. As a result, an application name recognition unit recognizes a name of an application.

Abstract: Using a service server list containing addresses of servers within a service system and an application list containing names of active applications within the service system, addresses of servers on which the active applications are running, and communication source addresses and communication destination addresses of the active applications, the following processes are carried out: specifying applications of a first layer in the service system from among applications lying within the service system; specifying applications of a second or subsequent layer in the service system from the application list and from addresses of servers on which the applications of the first layer are running; and judging applications having the same application name among applications belonging to the same layer as being of the same role for aggregation.
