A control method and apparatus for dynamically switching a logical session in an information processing system having a network control system configuration in which a plurality of terminal devices are connected to a plurality of central processing units via at least one communication control processor. The communication control processor comprises stores histories of command data transactions corresponding to the respective terminal devices, and retrieves the histories of transactions of the terminal devices connected logically to a central processing unit to be replaced when switching from the central processing unit to be replaced to another central processing unit is performed, delivers to the processing unit to be replaced command data to disconnect logical connective relationship from the central processing unit to be replaced, and establishes logical connective relationship to the another central processing unit, and for automatically delivering the retrieved histories of the transactions to the another central processing unit.

A control method and apparatus for dynamically switching a logical session in an information processing system having a network control system configuration in which a plurality of terminal devices are connected to a plurality of processing units via at least one communication control processer. The communication control processor includes storage area for storing histories of command data transactions corresponding to the respective terminal devices, and retrieves the histories of command data transactions of the terminal devices connected logically to a processing unit to be replaced when switching from the processing unit to be replaced to another central processing unit is performed, delivers to the processing unit to be replaced command data to disconnect logical connective relationship from the processing unit to be replaced, and establishes logical connective relationship to the replacing processing unit, and for automatically delivering the retrieved histories of the command data transactions to the replacing processing unit.

An area boundary between a system common area and a job private area is set at any page boundary independently from a segment boundary, and for the segment (boundary segment) containing the area boundary, a page table is prepared for each virtual address space. Thus, virtual pages which are not used as the system common area in the bondary segment can be used by jobs as job private areas. The real page is fixedly allocated to the virtual page belonging to the system common area in the boundary segment. Thus, it is not necessary to simultaneously update page tables for the system common area. Those virtual pages may be subjects of dynamic allocation of the virtual storage.
