A business process management computer, when the load of a service execution computer etc. is increased, determines the condition of a service call step which is calling a service execution unit, etc. of said service execution computer, etc. If said condition is the bottleneck condition, it determines the condition of the service call step in other process which is calling said service execution unit, etc. If there is no condition other than the bottleneck in that condition, the addition of the resource for said service execution computer, etc. is determined and if there is a condition in which the throughput can be limited, it is determined that the throughput should be limited. In a process which is configured with a plurality of service call steps, when the resource insufficiency has occurred, a means to make the adequate addition of the resource possible can be provided.

Business process management system, method thereof, process management computer and program thereof

A data processing apparatus, a data processing method, and a data processing program for use in a data processing system is provided, the system including the data processing apparatus which includes an RDBMS storing information shared among a plurality of organizations and a business application execution apparatus which is employed when either one of the organizations uses the information stored in the RDBMS of the data processing apparatus and which is communicably connected to the data processing apparatus. An inherent item table managed by the data processing apparatus is kept unchanged even if an organization is added.

Method to retain an inherent and indelible item value in a relational database management system

A storage resource management system includes a storage apparatus having one or more pieces of volumes and a management computer. The management computer holds volume characteristic information and use field sort volume information. The management computer executes a single use field portion allocating sequence for allocating the use fields to volumes having volume characteristics suitable for a single use field from volume characteristics described in the use field sort volume information, and also, executes a plural use fields common portion allocating sequence for allocating volumes having volume characteristics suitable for the plural use fields to any use field. Since the sequences are executed by the management computer, such a use field sort volume allocation information is formed which has described that one use field in maximum is allocated to the volume, namely one use field is allocated thereto, or none of these use fields is allocated to the volume.

Storage resource management system, method, and computer for dividing volumes based on priority, necessary capacity and volume characteristics

The data migration method of this invention is for a computer system. The data migration method is characterized in that the storage system measures, for each logical volume, a used I/O amount and a storage capacity of the logical volume, the management computer manages the logical volumes in groups by storing the association relation between the logical volumes and the groups, the management computer obtains, from the storage system, the used I/O amount of the logical volume and storage capacity, which are measured by the storage system, the management computer identifies a logical volume to which data is to be moved based on the ratio of the obtained I/O amount of the logical volume to the obtained storage capacity of the logical volume, and the management computer instructs the storage system to move data from the data's original logical volume to the logical volume designated as the migration destination.
