  • Patent number: 10768978
    Abstract: A management system coupled to an operation target system including one or more operation target apparatuses (1) manages a plurality of components each including a component input property and a processing content to be executed based on an input value that is input to the component input property; (2) creates or edits a service template that is associated with one or more components and an execution order and that includes one or more template input properties; (3) receives a designation of a service template and an input value to be input to the template input property; (4) generates, based on the designated input value and the service template, an operation service for executing the processing content included in the component using the designated input value; and (5) executes the generated operation service to operate the operation target apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10606581
    Abstract: A management system coupled to an operation target system including one or more operation target apparatuses creates or edits a service template for operation automation, the service template being associated with one or more components. A processor (1) receives a version upgrade request that designates a service template; and (2) causes a version of a target component associated with the designated service template or a copy of the designated service template to be different from a version of a target component already associated with the designated service template, in response to the version upgrade request.

  • Publication number: 20160011856
    Abstract: The present invention provides a user interface creation system and a creation method that are able to improve user interface creation efficiency. A prescribed process (100) that is executed using a computer is created by combining a plurality of sub-process steps (101(1)) and (101(2)) for executing respective prescribed sub-processes. The sub-process steps respectively have sub-process user interfaces that correspond to sub-process contents. A storage operation automation system is configured to detect the sub-process steps comprising the prescribed process, and create a general user interface to be used in the prescribed process by using the sub-process user interfaces of the detected sub-process steps.

  • Patent number: 9075850
    Abstract: A monitoring system quantifies either a configuration change or a status change of a monitoring target, and displays a change value thereof. Furthermore, the monitoring target refers to either a monitoring-target apparatus or a component of a monitoring-target apparatus. Moreover, in a case where multiple monitoring information acquisition intervals are used a change value may be computed and displayed for each of multiple monitoring targets. There may also be a case in which a time axis of a chronological graph of monitoring numeric values and a time axis of a chronological graph of change values are displayed collectively.
