Patent number: 6041425Abstract: An error recovery reduces the recovery time in finding out the JOB causing error in a computer system. An event generation unit is called at the beginning of the execution of a JOB, at the end of the execution of the JOB and at the close process of the file input-output process, by the JOB execution control unit. The JOB start event, end event, and close event are generated by the event generation unit. A file input/output count acquisition unit is called to generate a file input/output count for each JOB, by the JOB execution control unit. The monitoring process thereby generates the execution record comprising the end code, the start time, the end time, the execution time, the file input/output count, and the error flag for each JOB, based upon the above mentioned events. The monitoring process activates the error recovery support process when the error occurs.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1997Date of Patent: March 21, 2000Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Motohide Kokunishi, Hiromu Kato, Tsutomu Ito, Toshio Hirosawa

Patent number: 5671354Abstract: User authentication information for network of a user and a name of a server to be accessed are sent from a client terminal to a user management equipment realized by one of servers which constitute a network system. The user management equipment sends the network address of that server and user authentication information registered for that server back to the client terminal. Using these pieces of information, the client terminal logs in that server. Each of the servers used by the user notifies the user management equipment of the actual accounts for the user at preferable times. Using the notified information, the user management equipment manages the actual accounts of each user. Each user can know the total of actual accounts for the servers used by accessing only the user management equipment.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 1996Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Computer Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsutomu Ito, Toshio Hirosawa, Atsushi Ueoka, Motohide Kokunishi, Tadashi Yamagishi, Kouichi Nakatsu

Patent number: 5557736Abstract: In an electronic mail associated type computer system network equipped with a computer system for executing a job and a general-purpose electronic mail system, a user of an electronic mail can freely recognize a condition of an execution result of a job performed in the computer system and a job execution result. Also, these results are available from a desired output device for the user. When a mail processing unit employed in the computer system analyzes a mail statement about the job execution derived from the electronic mail system, and the job execution is completed, this mail processing unit sends to the electronic mail system, such a mail statement for the completion of the job execution containing information about fail/safe execution result. Upon receipt of this report, the user designates the output device into a response mail so as to output the job execution result from the designated output device.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1994Date of Patent: September 17, 1996Assignees: Hitachi Electronics Services Co., Ltd., Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Software Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Hirosawa, Tsutomu Itoh, Motohide Kokunishi, Atsushi Ueoka, Yoshikazu Ichikawa, Fujio Fujita, Tadashi Yamagishi, Masahiko Ishimaru, Hideki Namba, Shigeru Sasaki, Michio Hirano, Kaoru Kozuma, Kazuyuki Nakamura
