In order to identify a parallel-executed portion of processes included in a business flow, following stages are executed: obtaining transaction records including a processing time, a process type and an identifier from a database; grouping the transaction records based on the identifier and sorting the transaction records within a group based on the processing time; in case where the processing time included in the transaction record represents only one time, calculating a processing period of each transaction record based on a sequence of the processing times in the transaction records in the group; identifying a transaction record relating to a process executed in parallel based on the distribution of the calculated processing periods for each process type; and identifying, for each group, a business flow of the group based on the processing result of the identifying the transaction record and the transaction records in the group.

Business flow processing method and apparatus

Update history information of databases is analyzed, and workflow models are automatically displayed with typical workflows and exceptional workflows separately represented. An update history information storage unit stores update history information including identification information of a data update process, and the name and updated time of an updated data set. A workflow extractor generates flow information where the names of updated data sets are arranged in chronological order of updated time, oldest first, for every data update process, and counts the number of appearances of flow information of same. Out of the workflows represented by the flow information, the workflow classification unit classifies the workflows into typical and exceptional workflows depending on the number of appearances. A workflow model display unit displays a typical workflow diagram showing the typical workflows, and in response to user input, displays an exceptional workflow diagram showing the typical and exceptional workflows.

Program, method and apparatus for modeling workflow

A device analyzes a flow of a computer system by identifying transition relations each representing a relation between two of data sets that have been updated, based upon workflow information. Transition information indicate a number of occurrences of each transition relation, with respect to each analysis unit period. Change information indicates a change in the number of occurrences of each transition relation, by comparing the transition information for each analysis unit period between adjacent ones of the analysis unit periods.

An information processing method for a business process analysis includes identifying a processing target field in a record generated in an analysis target system and stored in a data storage; identifying data representing probability that the processing target field corresponds to a time stamp of an event by using definition data for each field in the record; and presenting a user with the identified data so as to correspond to each said field.

Information processing method and apparatus for business process analysis

A computer program automatically producing a system test specification adapted for real-life use of a computer system, such that the system's most important processing functions can be tested. An update record storage unit stores update records each including: a process identifier of a data updating process, the name of a dataset updated by that process, and an update timestamp. A function test data storage unit stores data of function tests for checking whether each module realizing operation steps of an operation flow satisfies specified requirements. An operation flow extractor creates a flow descriptor enumerating the names of datasets updated by a data updating process in chronological order. From the stored function test data, a system test generator compiles a system test description for each operation flow, which specifies a series of function tests in the same order as the operation steps constituting each operation flow.

Program and apparatus for generating system test specifications

There is provided a database analysis program, a database analysis apparatus, and a database analysis method capable of detecting a relation between fields in a plurality of tables. The database analysis program allows a computer to execute: a field evaluation step that calculates, for each field of the table, a field score which is a value based on the appearance frequency of each value in the field; a relation generation step that selects tables different from each other as a relation source table and relation destination table from the plurality of tables, selects a relation source field which is a field in the relation source table and a relation destination table which is a field in the relation destination table, and generates a combination of the relation source field and relation destination field as a relation; and a relation evaluation step that calculates, for each relation generated by the relation generation step, a relation score which is a value based on the appearance frequency of each value in the relation destination field counted for each relation source field, field score of the relation source field, and field score of the relation destination field.

A computer-readable medium storing a program that can produce execution flows of business-specific services automatically from a given business process model so as to deploy them on a plurality of servers. When a business process model is given, a service interface selector determines which service interface should be used to implement interactions between swimlanes of the business process model. An execution flow generator then creates an execution flow of each individual service defined by the corresponding swimlane and places functional elements of each swimlane in the corresponding execution flow, as well as adding input and output interfaces between different swimlanes according to the service interface chosen by the service interface selector. A service deployment unit then deploys the created execution flows on their corresponding servers.
