Abstract: A setting support device generates a setting of parameters common to a plurality of devices and a condition used for the setting as a first rule based on information relating to settings of the parameters performed for the plurality of devices in the past. In addition, the setting support device generates a setting of parameters common to the plurality of devices and a condition used for the setting as a second rule for each generation based on information of each generation that relates to settings of the parameters performed for the plurality of devices in the past. The setting support device compares the first rule and the second rule with each other in relation to the setting of the parameters that is common, specifies a different rule, and calculates an index representing a degree of certainty of the specified different rule.

Abstract: In a setting support device, for the existing system groups each include multiple tags, a grouping unit groups the systems that have common tags. A rule extracting unit extracts, for each grouped group, a set rule that is used for environmental setting set in each of the systems on the basis of the environmental setting that is set in the systems belonging to a group. A tag common rule specifying unit specifies a set rule that is common in each tag on the basis of the set rule that is extracted for each group and on the basis of the tags included in the systems belonging to each group. A new rule merging unit creates, by using the set rule specified by each tag, a set rule that is associated with the multiple tags included in a new system.

Abstract: A search device in a system in which first and second device groups are connected to each other, acquires first history information that specifies transmission sources and transmission destinations of communication executed between devices in the first device group, and second history information that specifies transmission sources and transmission destinations of communication executed between devices in the second device group. The search device searches across the first and second history information for a pair of a first device in the first group and a second device in the second group, by comparing the first and second history information, where the first device has a same function as the second device.

Abstract: In a control device, a relationship extracting module extracts, from specification-item change information indicative of change information concerning specification items of hardware changed in the past and parameter change information indicative of change information concerning parameters set to the hardware, combinations of the specification-item change information and the parameter change information being in correlation. A change-pattern generator calculates a relational expression of the specification-item change information and the parameter change information for each of the extracted combinations, and generates a change pattern of the parameter change information corresponding to the specification-item change information by the calculated relational expression.

Abstract: A storage unit stores information indicating a plurality of management units that manage a plurality of apparatuses and have an inclusion relationship and indicating sets of apparatuses divided by the respective management units, and stores setting values of a plurality of attributes stored in association with each of the apparatuses. A computing unit specifies a management unit having a first feature with regard to setting values of any one of the attributes in each of sets of apparatuses divided by the management unit, with reference to the storage unit. The computing unit detects, for the setting values of the attribute having the first feature, a second feature established among a plurality of sets that are divided by the specified management unit. The computing unit creates information indicating requirements for the setting values of the attribute in the specified management unit, based on the first and second features.

Abstract: A relationship-information storage unit stores relationships between configuration items. The configuration items belong to an information system and are stored in multiple databases. A first counting unit compares, across the databases, attribute values of one configuration item in each of the databases, thereby counting a matching-attribute-value count. A second counting unit identifies a configuration item having a relationship with the one configuration item, for which the first counting unit counts the matching-attribute-value count, by referring to the relationship-information storage unit. Then, the second counting unit compares, across the databases, attribute values of the identified configuration items to count a matching-attribute-value count. A similarity calculation unit calculates similarity between the configuration items, based on the matching-attribute-value count counted by the first counting unit and the matching-attribute-value count counted by the second counting unit.

Abstract: Upon receiving a request to change an attribute value for a certain configuration item (CI), it is determined whether a first pattern exists that includes a first condition, which is satisfied with change relating to the request. Each pattern includes a first condition relating to a certain change of an attribute value for a first CI and a second condition relating to an attribute value, which is to be changed at a same timing as the certain change, for a second CI that has a predetermined relation with the first CI. Upon determining that there is the first pattern, it is determined whether a second condition of the first pattern is satisfied, based on another request to be processed with the request or the like. Upon determining that the second condition of the first pattern is satisfied, a predetermined processing is performed.
