Abstract
A method for generating a new configuration of a program containing a plurality of modules and stored in a data processing system. A first table built in response to data entered by a user at a workstation contains the correspondence between each program function and an assigned user. A second table built in response to requests for creating or modifying specified functions indicates for each request, a request number, a description of the requested work, and the function assignee retrieved from the first table. Then, a message is sent to a function assignee that contains the request number and description of the requested work. A third table built in response to users starting the work requested contains for each request number, a status for the requested work. By reading the third table, a report of the status of the requests is prepared which helps the program administrator to prepare a new configuration of the program.
