DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a file environment information management system, and more particularly to a file environment information management system for a network information processing system in which a plurality of machines (computers) having a common file environment are connected via a network. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of network information processing system, registration and change of all file environment information are performed individually for each machine, or a server consisting of one machine while being aware of the type of each machine. I was doing centralized management.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional file environment information management system, when registering and changing all the file environment information are performed individually for each machine,
The common file environment information must be reflected individually on all machines, which may cause inconsistencies in the file environment information between the machines and complicate the management of the file environment information. was there.

[0004] When the registration and change of all file environment information are centrally managed by a server, even the individual information of each machine is changed, the entire file environment information is changed. Must be reflected on all the machines, and there is a problem that changing the file environment information is troublesome and loses the degree of freedom.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to centrally manage common information among file environment information in a common information server and manage individual information individually in each machine. It is an object of the present invention to provide a file environment information management system which prevents inconsistency between each machine and allows individual information to be freely changed for each machine.

[0006]

The file environment information management system of the present invention is a single machine in a network information processing system in which a plurality of machines having a common file environment are connected via a network. A common information management unit that manages common information including a data name and a value of the file environment information that must be matched between the machines in the file information, and a common information that is managed by the common information server. Common information distribution means for distributing information to other machines, and machine-specific data names and processing methods for reflecting common information on the file environment on each machine
And a file environment necessary for operating the machine based on the common information distributed by the common information distribution unit and the individual information of each machine. File environment construction means.

[0007]

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a network information processing system to which a file environment information management system according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied. This network information processing system is configured by connecting a common information server 1 and a plurality of machines 2 (one shown in the figure) via a network (not shown). The common information distribution means 3 is interposed between them.

The common information server 1 has input / output devices 12,
A common information management unit 11 including a registration system (editor or the like) 13 and a common information file 14 is provided.

The machine 2 has a common information file 20 and
Individual information management means 21 comprising an input / output device 22, a registration system (editor or the like) 23, and an individual information file 24
And a file environment construction means 25 comprising a table creation means 26, a generation information table 27 and an environment creation means 28
Are provided. Reference numeral 29 denotes a file environment constructed by the file environment construction means 25.

[0011] The common information distributing means 3 includes a common information server 1
Is a means for delivering the common information file 14 to each machine 2 except the common information server 1 in the network information processing system. The common information distributing means 3 may be a means for transmitting the contents of the common information file 14 from the common information server 1 to the common information file 20 of the machine 2. Go to get the contents of file 14 and go to common information file 2
0, or may simply be obtained from the machine 2 for the contents of the common information file 14 of the common information server 1 and stored in the common information file 20.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the construction of the file environment 29 by the file environment information management system of the present embodiment.
2, a plurality of entries including a data name and a value are stored in the common information file 20. The individual information file 24 stores a plurality of entries including a data name, a processing method, and a storage location. The generation information table 27 stores a plurality of entries including data names, values, processing methods, and storage locations.

Next, the operation of the file environment information management system of the present embodiment configured as described above will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

The common information management means 11 registers and manages common information of file environment information in the common information file 14 from the input / output device 12 of the common information server 1 using the registration system 13.

The individual information management means 21 uses the registration system 23 from the input / output device 22 of each machine 2 to process the common information of file environment information (edit information and the like) and store the individual information file 24 in the individual information file 24. Storage location information, etc.)
Registration and management of individual information consisting of

Now, it is assumed that the contents of the common information file 14 have been updated by the common information server 1 and the common information distribution means 3 has finished delivering them to the common information file 20 of the machine 2. In the machine 2, it is assumed that the modification of the individual information file 24 has already been completed.

The file environment construction means 25 reads the common information file 20 and the individual information file 24 managed by the machine 2 by the table creation means 26, and creates a generation information table 27.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the table creating means 26 reads the individual information file 24 and reads the data names (DATA1, DA3) from the common information file 20 according to the data names (DATA1, DATA2, DATA3,...).
TA2, DATA3,...) Are read. Then, the generation information table 27 is created by combining the read values and the contents of the individual information file 24 by data names.

When the creation of the generation information table 27 is completed, the file environment construction means 25
The file environment 2 based on the generation information table 27
9 is generated.

For example, as shown in FIG.
Reference numeral 8 reads the entries of the generation information table 27 one by one, processes values in the file or directory indicated by the storage location based on the processing method, and edits, adds, and deletes necessary files and directories. Thus, the file environment 29 is constructed. DATA1
For the value da in the file F1 in the directory D0
The file of ta1 is edited (inserted). As for DATA2, a file F2 is added to the directory D0. For DATA3, the directory D0 /
The file F6 of D2 is deleted.

[0021]

As described above, the present invention comprises common information management means, common information distribution means, individual information management means and file environment construction means, and the common information of the file environment information is concentrated in the common information server. By managing personally and managing individual information individually on each machine,
There is an effect that inconsistency of the common information does not occur between the machines and that the individual information can be freely changed for each machine.
