The plural process means includes a first process means issuing requesting messages for requesting a function and a second process means receiving the requesting message, performing a process requested by each requesting massage, and sending back a response indicating results of the process to the first process means. In the apparatus, storage means stores therein, of the requesting massages issued, only response-waiting messages issued by the first process means and received by the second process means.
