An operational control management method of determining a possibility of parallel execution of multiple operational controls that are included in a workflow, in which a computer performs processing includes judging whether a first operational control that is to be executed next and a second operational control that follows the first operational control are detailed determination targets, based on operation categorization information that results from categorizing each of the multiple operational controls based on an operation target and operation content; and determining a possibility of parallel execution based on relationships of the first operational control and the second operational control to the operation target and on operation situations of operation targets, with which the first and second operational controls are associated, in a case where the first operational control and the second operational control are the detailed determination targets.

Operational control management apparatus and operational control management method

A first executing unit executes, among tasks included in a first workflow, a first task group including one or more tasks using a resource. When a task included in the first task group is stopped, a rollback processing unit restores the resource to its former state prior to the execution of the first task group. After the resource is restored to the former state prior to the execution of the first task group, a second executing unit starts executing, among tasks included in a second workflow, a second task group including one or more tasks using the resource.

Apparatus and method for controlling execution workflows

A control unit of a workflow control apparatus identifies, among tasks included in a plurality of workflows, tasks using the same resource based on workflow definition information, and determines the execution sequence of the identified tasks based on the content of each of the identified tasks defined in the workflow definition information. The control unit identifies, among the identified tasks, one or more tasks whose execution is omissible based on the content of each of the identified tasks and the execution sequence of the identified tasks.

Workflow control apparatus and method therefor

A exclusion control method includes setting, for at least one or more operation information defining operations for an information processing apparatus and being included in a plurality of work flow information that indicate operation procedures, exclusive sections that indicate units of exclusion control performing an exclusive lock, calculating priorities of the exclusive sections using operation importance level information that indicate importance levels of the operations according to types of the operation information and operation urgency level information that indicate an urgency levels of the operations, when the operations are executed based on the operation information corresponding to the exclusive sections of the plurality of workflow information, and executing the exclusion control in the exclusive sections for a plurality of workflow based on the priorities, when a competitive regarding the exclusive lock occurs between the exclusive sections.
