Abstract: A computer system stores management information that manages a workflow and a deletion flag that indicates deletion of data in the workflow hidden from a user. The computer system executes a workflow that includes one or more processes that convert input data into output data. The computer system includes a lineage of the executed workflow including information of the input data and the output data in the management information. The computer system deletes data selected from data in the executed workflow, and sets the deletion flag of the selected data in the management information. The computer system, in response to an access to first data to which the deletion flag is set, regenerate the first data based on the management information and removes the deletion flag of the first data in the management information.

Abstract: A control server checks whether a resource necessary for process execution is present in a computer system. The control server determines that generating a placement plan is possible when relative guarantee is possible, the relative guarantee guaranteeing a guarantee volume that is at least an absolute resource volume and, if possible, guaranteeing a resource volume reaching an upper limit volume, for a reservation acceptance limit, and starts generating the placement plan. In a period between right after the start of generation of the placement plan and right before permission to selection/approval of the proposed placement plan, the control server makes a reservation with relative guarantee that for the resource and the reservation acceptance limit, makes the guarantee volume and the upper limit volume for the resource volume of the resource different respectively from the guarantee volume and the upper limit volume for the reservation acceptance limit.

Abstract: Appropriate management of transfer of data generated in real time from an area where handling of data is regulated to the outside is enabled. A storage computer manages transfer of data from a transfer source belonging to an environment where handling of data is regulated to an external transfer destination. Data to be transferred is sequential transfer data sequentially transferred to the outside when the data is not wholly present in the environment. The storage computer includes a memory storing information and CPU connected to the memory and capable of performing predetermined processing. Permissibility of transfer of the data to be transferred to a transfer destination is determined by the CPU based on: personal information included in a data source on which the data to be transferred is based; contents of processing performed on the data source; and an execution result of the processing on the data source.

Abstract: Processing efficiency of a computer using a volume and processing efficiency of another computer using another volume corresponding to the volume can be maintained at high levels. In a computer system, a storage apparatus is able to provide a certain volume to a computer, and another storage apparatus provides data to the computer by causing a virtualization function to point to another volume from the certain volume and copying data from the other volume to the certain volume. An upper limit on the number of pages copiable from the other volume to the certain volume of the storage apparatus is set. A CPU of the other storage apparatus copies data in an amount equal to or smaller than the upper limit from a page among multiple pages of the other volume to a storage region corresponding to a page forming the certain volume of the storage apparatus.

Abstract: An example of storage system obtains a reference request of a reference request data block that is included in the content and is stored in the medium area. The storage system determines a number of gaps among addresses, in the medium area, of a plurality of data blocks continuous in the content including the reference request data block. The storage system determines, based on the number of gaps, whether or not defrag based on the plurality of data blocks is valid. The storage system writes, when the defrag is determined to be valid, the plurality of data blocks read from the medium area to the memory area, into continuous address areas of the medium area.

Abstract: A covering is easily mounted and/or demounted to envelop an overall sliding device with onboard moving-magnet linear motor. The covering helps improved propulsion, high velocity and response of a table even with small in dimension, compact in construction. End blocks are installed in opposite ends of a bed and a linear motor is placed between the bed and the table. The end blocks are made in solid bodies which are tightened to the bed together with a coil board. The end blocks have butting surfaces which can come into abutment against the ends of the table to protect the table from getting out of the bed. The end blocks have locking recesses which mate with locking jaws on the covering to fasten the covering to the end blocks.

Abstract: A computer includes first and second processors, first and second I/O devices, a shared memory, and an interrupt controller. The first processor issues a control command for causing the first I/O device to read target data from the first apparatus and store the target data in the shared memory. The first I/O device reads the target data from the first apparatus and, transfers the target data to the shared memory, and generates an I/O complete interrupt. The interrupt controller delivers the generated I/O complete interrupt to the second processor. When the second processor receives the I/O complete interrupt, the second processor issues a control command for causing the second I/O device to read the target data from the shared memory and send the target data to the second apparatus. The second I/O device reads the target data from the shared memory and sends the target data to the second apparatus.
