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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a network information processing system to which a file environment information management system according to an 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 the two.

The common information server 1 includes an input / output device 12,
A common information management means 11 including a registration system (editor etc.) 13 and a common information file 14 is provided.

The machine 2 has a common information file 20 and
An individual information management means 21 including an input / output device 22, a registration system (editor, etc.) 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 generation means 28.
And are provided. The reference numeral 29 indicates a file environment constructed by the file environment constructing means 25.

The common information distribution means 3 is the common information server 1
Is a means for delivering the common information file 14 to each machine 2 other than the common information server 1 in the network information processing system. The common information distribution 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, and the common information from the machine 2 in response to the call from the common information server 1. Common information file 2 by going to the contents of file 14
0 may be stored in the common information file 20 of the common information server 1 from the machine 2 and stored in the common information file 20.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a construction example of the file environment 29 by the file environment information management system of this embodiment.
In FIG. 2, the common information file 20 stores a plurality of entries including data names and values. 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 positions.

Next, the operation of the file environment information management system of the present embodiment thus constructed 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 for the individual information file 24 to process the common information of the file environment information (edit information etc.) and the storage position ( Storage location information, etc.)
The individual information consisting of is registered and managed.

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 to the common information file 20 of the machine 2. Further, in the machine 2, it is assumed that the individual information file 24 has already been modified.

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 the generation information table 27.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the table creating means 26 reads the individual information file 24, and according to the data name (DATA1, DATA2, DATA3, ...) From the common information file 20 the data name (DATA1, DA1).
Read the value of TA2, DATA3, ...). Then, the read value and the contents of the individual information file 24 are associated with the data name to create the generation information table 27.

When the creation of the creation information table 27 is completed, the file environment construction means 25 causes the environment creation means 28.
File environment 2 based on the generation information table 27
9 is generated.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, environment generating means 2
8 reads the entries of the generation information table 27 one by one, processes the value in the file or directory indicated by the storage position based on the processing method, and edits, adds and deletes necessary files and directories. By doing so, the file environment 29 is constructed. DATA1
About the value da in the file F1 in the directory D0
The file of ta1 is edited (inserted). For DATA2, the file F2 is added to the directory D0. For DATA3, the directory D0 /
The file of the file F6 of D2 is deleted.
