  • Publication number: 20090193388
    Abstract: Before design information is published, a consistency state of reference design information referred to by the design information is revealed. By this, it is possible to reduce waste caused by redesign or the like of the design information. Public design information used for designing the design information is stored as reference design information 210 into a developer design information storage part 202 (S5). When a developer requests publication of the design information that has used the reference design information 210, the design information is stored as public design information 261b into a public design information storage part 260 (S17). When the design information is stored in the public design information storage part 260, a consistency state between reference design information 210 of design information that uses the design information 261b and the design information 261 is verified (S19), and the verified consistency state is stored in a consistency state storage part 203.

  • Patent number: 6981075
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a common storage accessible by a host includes: an NIC group connected with a plurality of communication paths connected to the host; an I/O processing unit for executing I/O processing of the common storage in response to an I/O request of the host; a storing unit for holding log information for each data transfer performed from/to the host; and a communication path selection unit for selecting, as a data transfer path, a communication path having actually indicated good I/O processing performance among communication paths used in the past data transfer approximate in a communication condition by referring to the log information held by the storing unit.

  • Patent number: 6510457
    Abstract: Data analysis using online data summarization processing and rule-based data characteristic detection is performed at the time the transaction data is input. Online data input through an input device of a first server is stored into a transaction data memory device. A data summarizing device carries out summarization processing of online data according to stored parameters, and the resultant summary data is stored into a summary data memory device. A data joining device joins the summary data stored in the summary data memory device and the summary data transferred from a second server for the purpose of updating. In the first server, using rules generated by a rule generating device and stored in rule memory device, a detecting device detects characteristics of the summary data. Further, the results of data characteristic detection are sent to a client through.
