Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer system that executes processing instructions that are permitted to be executed, and a processing management method for the computer system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Computers have come into widespread use, and one user can use a plurality of computers. In many cases, the respective computers exchange information with each other with a communication function, and obtain information from other computers that can be accessed as necessary. In addition, it is becoming commonplace to exchange information with others by exchanging data existing on computers used by each other.
Moreover, the development of computers has made the work of users to request these processings very easy. For example,
On a PC with a GUI, you can complete file copying and transfer by simply specifying the file you want to send and its destination with the mouse.

Now, when access to other computers (machines) can be easily performed through the network in this way, management of information becomes important. Normally, it is necessary to enter a predetermined password when logging in to a machine. Further, with respect to file access, it is possible to restrict unauthorized access by setting the access right provided by each operating system. As described above, conventionally, a method for preventing the information in the computer from being unfairly referred to by another person has been considered. Further, there are some application programs (for example, DB programs) that restrict access and editing of files.

However, a processing request based on a legitimate access right is executed even if it is an incorrect processing request, so that an incorrect processing contrary to the user's will may be executed. was there. In order to prevent such erroneous processing from being executed, it is increasingly necessary to manage the information possessed by the user and the management for an erroneous processing request with the support from the computer system.

Therefore, as an example applicable to such a situation, there is an electronic file management system described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-157949. FIG. 26 is a functional block diagram of a conventional electronic file management system. In FIG. 26, 20
Reference numeral 1 denotes a deciding means for deciding whether or not a processing request for an electronic file from a terminal can be executed.

Next, the operation will be described. When a processing request from the terminal to the electronic file is added, the determining unit 201 reads out the information corresponding to the requested terminal from the information table 202 according to the type of processing, and the processing (see,
If copying is permitted, the execution of the process is determined, and the process is performed on the electronic file based on this determination. Further, if the result of reference to the information table 202 is that the processing is not permitted, a notification that processing cannot be performed is returned to the terminal and the requested processing is interrupted. That is, whether or not the process can be executed is determined based only on the type of the process request and the terminal to which the process request is made. Further, if the process cannot be executed, it is impossible to execute the requested process.

Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-130937 discloses a conventional document information management system. In this case, the documents are collectively stored in the server machine, and the document protection and additional information are collectively managed in the server machine. Since the protection of the document and the additional information can be used in a unified manner, the document management system becomes efficient.

As a conventional example, ftp (file transfe) which is widely used for transmitting data (file) between computers.
r program). Figure 27 shows UNIX (UNIX System
Laboratories, Inc. trade name, the same shall apply hereinafter) 210, 22
0 is a computer for transmitting and receiving data, 212 and 222 are operating systems operating on the computers 210 and 220, 216 is a network connecting the computers, 211 is a program ftp requesting data transmission on the computer 210,
Reference numeral 212 is a program ftpd which operates on the computer 220 in response to a data transmission request.

Next, the operation will be described. Calculator 21
When the program 211 requesting data transmission on the computer 0 specifies data transmission with the computer 220, the operating system 212 receives the data transmission request on the computer 210. The operating system 212 requests the computer 220 via the network 216 to connect a connection for data transmission. At this time, on the computer 220, the operating system 222 and the program 212 that responds to the data transmission request operate, so that a user (a user who can recognize the computer 220) who is authorized to make a connection connection request to the computer 220. Check whether the item is genuine.

If the user is valid in this check, the user can freely transmit accessible data between the computer 210 and the computer 220. That is, only the user who first issued the data transmission request is authenticated, and the check that the data specified in the data transmission request is sent to the specified computer is not executed. The transmission is done.

[0011]

Since the computer system constituting the conventional electronic file management system and document information management system is configured as described above, it is necessary to determine whether or not execution is possible depending on the type of processing requested. In addition, exception processing is not permitted, and when the requested processing instruction is execution prohibited, the processing instruction cannot be executed. Similarly, for a file transmission request, only a result of execution can be obtained, so that it is not possible to set a condition such that transmission is possible, and there is a problem that exception processing is not allowed. In other words, when the processing is data transmission, even if the procedure is incorrect, the processing may be executed for a data transmission request that takes a valid procedure, and the vulnerability of data management may increase. . In other words, with respect to a processing request based on a legitimate access right caused by a user's erroneous operation, even if the processing request is different from the original intention of the user, the processing request is executed, resulting in an unintended result. become. In order to prevent such an error in data transmission that the user does not intend, it is necessary to support the computer system. And, it is desirable that this support mechanism is not complicated such as using encryption and can be easily realized.

However, with respect to the writing process, the copying process, etc., the OS or the application program may permit the process under certain conditions. In this case, since it is written by a series of programs that make up the OS, it is impossible or extremely difficult to change. In addition, although some application programs such as DB can set detailed attributes, even if they can be changed, only the attribute setting unique to the application program can be set and cannot be freely set. Since it is normally used, there is a problem that it is necessary to set a unique attribute for each application program, the procedure is complicated, and detailed attributes of the file cannot be specified.

The management of file transmission is realized by at least one of the OS of each computer, the application program of each computer, the management program of the gateway, and the management program of the server machine. Further, when collectively managing by the management program of the gateway or the server machine, since the setting regarding the transmission of the unique file is not made for each computer of the terminal, the detailed attribute setting of the user, the file and the like cannot be performed.

Further, for processing involving a plurality of computers, such as transmitting a file from within the computer,
Because of the lack of the contact function, that is, when the file is transmitted, the management information of the computer is not transmitted together with the transmission destination computer, so that the transmission destination computer cannot perform the same handling process as the computer. Therefore, it is not possible to manage the data on the computer to which the data is transmitted, like the computer to which the data is transmitted.

Further, since exception processing is not permitted, there is no reconfirmation procedure processing as to whether exception processing may be performed.
Therefore, there is no function for managing the reconfirmation procedure processing history, and it is not possible to provide information to the user or perform post-processing after the request processing is executed based on the reconfirmation procedure processing history.

The present invention solves the above problems,
To provide a computer system having good operability and a process management method for the computer system, which prevents erroneous processing in response to a processing command issued from a user and supports management of the processing command, or a user It is intended to provide a computer system having a good operability and a process management method for the computer system, which prevents the user from erroneously processing the data in the computer and supports the management of the data held by the user.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Embodiment 1. Hereinafter, a computer system of the present invention and a processing management method thereof will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is an instruction issuing means for issuing a processing instruction, and 2 is an instruction executing means for executing the processing when the instruction issued by the instruction issuing means 1 is not prohibited.
Reference numeral 3 is a management processing execution means for executing a corresponding management processing by referring to the management information table 4a (FIG. 2) when the command is issued from the command issuing means 1, and 3d is a part of the management processing execution means 3. It is an execution confirmation processing unit that performs a reconfirmation procedure again as to whether or not to execute the processing instruction when the processing instruction should not be executed in the management processing performed by the processing execution unit 3. Reference numeral 4 is management information which is management processing information having the management information table 4a.

Here, the command issuing means 1 refers to a person, a device, a program or a computer system that requests access to data for data processing and information exchange. In addition, data means some chunk of data that can be processed or operated. Furthermore, the program of the part that realizes the management processing of the management processing execution means 3 is provided separately from the application program and the OS. Further, the case where the execution confirmation processing means 3d is a part of the management processing execution means 3 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The same applies to all subsequent embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing information in the management information according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 4a indicates the management information 4, which is a management information table in which the management processing information 101 is set. This management information table 4
“A” indicates a relationship in which, when an instruction set in the management processing information 101 is to be executed, the management processing set together is executed, and the instruction execution is determined based on the result. In this case, it is specified to confirm whether the management process process1 is normally executed before executing the command command1.

Here, in FIG. 2, a method of describing the management process to be executed together with the instruction name for executing the management process is taken as an example. However, it goes without saying that any expression and management method may be used as long as the means can recognize the relationship between processing instructions and management processing. Further, it is not arguable that a plurality of processing instructions can be grouped together and set for this group. This is the same for all management information tables described in all the subsequent embodiments.

When the processing instruction is issued from the instruction issuing means 1, the management processing executing means 3 starts executing the processing shown in FIG. 3 (ST
ART) First, referring to the management information table 4a, it is judged whether the processing instruction requires execution of the management processing (S1).

If the management process S1 is not necessary,
The instruction execution is transmitted to the instruction execution means 2 (S2), and the instruction is executed. If the processing command is command1 and it is determined that the management process process1 is necessary from the result of the process S1, the management process process1 is executed (S3). When this process S3 ends normally, the process instruction is transmitted to the instruction executing means 2 by executing the process S2. If the management process process1 does not end normally, an execution confirmation process is executed to inquire whether the issued processing instruction may be executed (S).
4). If the result of the processing S4 is that the processing instruction is executed, the instruction execution is transmitted to the instruction executing means 2 (S2), and the instruction is executed. If the result of processing S4 is that the processing instruction is not executed, the processing ends. Here, the execution confirmation process S4 is
For example, it is a process based on a message output to the operator as to whether or not the command may be executed and a response to the message.

By operating the management process executing means 3 in this way, it is possible to determine whether or not to execute the command based on the result of the management process S3. Further, even when it is determined that the instruction cannot be executed based on the result of the management process S3, it is possible to flexibly respond and execute the instruction by reconfirming the execution confirmation process S4. Further, since the part of the program that realizes the management processing of the management processing execution means 3 is provided separately from the application program and the OS, the setting change, update, addition, deletion, and execution confirmation processing S4 of the management information 4 is performed. It is possible to easily realize the presence or absence of.

In FIG. 1, the management process executing means 3 is described as a structure in which the command issuing means 1 and the command executing means 2 are separated from each other, but the operation performed by the management process executing means 3 is performed by the command issuing means 1. It may be combined with
There is no problem even if the configuration is combined with the instruction executing means 2.

Here, as the transmittable computer name information T1 and the transmission acceptability condition T6, the transmittable user name information T2 can be obtained by designating the computer name, IP address and MAC address.
Can be realized by specifying the login name, email address, user id, and real name. Prerequisite processing information T3, management information transmission necessity information T4, execution confirmation information T5, maintenance processing execution information T7
Can be realized by specifying the command to be executed and the path of the shell script. For example, a case will be described in which the preprocessing information T3 is set when the operator executes the file transfer program and transfers date7.
At this time, in the program of the data management means 13,
When a transfer request for date7 in the management information 14 occurs, the path /usr/lib/shori/date7.sh is specified. Then, it is stipulated that 0 is returned when the processing set in the designated path is normally completed, and 1 is returned when the processing is abnormally ended.

Although the management information 14 shown in FIG. 17 stores information in an array format, this does not have to be an array and any format can be used as long as the above information can be stored. But it doesn't matter. For example, if a list structure is used, it is possible to easily add an information management area as needed, and it is possible to obtain a feature that the processing load is lighter than that of the array format when performing data sorting. In addition, although an example with two computers is explained,
Any number of computers may be connected to the network. Although the case where data is transmitted from the computer 10 to the computer 20 has been described, it may be transmitted from the computer 20 to the computer 10. Further, it goes without saying that various networks such as LAN and WAN can be applied as the network.

FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing the operation of the data management means according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Here, the processing from receiving the processing command issued by the means 11 for requesting data transmission to determining whether or not to actually execute the data transmission processing is shown.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. When a means 11 for requesting data transmission on the computer 10 issues a data transmission request to another computer 20, the data management means 13 executes the instructions shown in FIG. 18 before the operating system 12 executes this processing. Start processing for judgment (START). The data designated first as the data transmission target is the management information 1
It is checked whether or not the data has a setting of 4 (S1).
If the setting is not made, a processing request is issued to the operating system 12 (S2).

In step S2, the operating system 12 sends a processing request that is determined to allow data transmission.
Tell The operating system 12 executes these processes in the same manner as a normal process request (when there is no data management unit 13) issued from the unit 11 for requesting data transmission, and the process is completed. If the result of the processing S1 indicates that the management information 14 has data, the transmittable computer name information T1 corresponding to the data name T0 of the management information 14 is transmitted.
And by referring to the transmittable user name information T2,
It is determined whether the transmission request is permitted (S
3). When the precondition process is set for data transmission, the precondition process information T3 is referred to. For example, in FIG. 17, data1 is permitted to transmit data to a computer called machine1,
Data transmission to user3 is not permitted and precondition processing is not set.

If the result of processing S3 indicates that the data transmission destination is permitted, processing S2 is executed. Then, the operating system 12 carries out data transmission. As a result of the process S3, when the data transmission destination is not permitted and the precondition process is set, the process S15 for performing the precondition process is performed.
According to the result of the process S3, when the data transmission destination is not permitted and the premise process is not set, it is determined that the requested process cannot be executed, and whether the process is to be executed interactively is determined. Process S4, which is an execution confirmation process for asking the user.

The process S15 is prerequisite process information to be performed before transmitting the data specified in the management information 14.
Perform recording at T3. For example, in FIG. 17, data1 is m
At the time of transmission to achine3, logging of the history of data transmission is required prior to execution of processing, and data2 is required to request transmission permission (request) from the partner computer 20. When this premise process ends normally, the process S2 is executed and the data transmission is performed by the operating system 12.

Based on the result of the process S15, it is finally determined that the data transmission process cannot be executed if the premise process is not normally completed. Then, the fact that the data transmission request cannot be executed is notified (S16), and the process ends. A process S4 interactively asks the data transmission requester whether or not the process may be forcibly executed when the process in which the data transmission is not permitted is designated by the setting of the management information 14. Execution confirmation information T5 at this time
Refer to to determine whether or not to perform processing that interactively asks for forced execution. For example, in FIG. 17, data1 does not execute the process of inquiring forced execution, but executes process S16 and ends.

As a result of the processing S4, when a response of forced execution is obtained, the processing S2 is executed and the data transmission is carried out by the operating system 12. If the result of step S4 is that the command is not executed, it is notified that the data transmission request cannot be executed (S
16) and the process is ended. As a result of the processing S4, when the conditional processing for instruction execution is set, the processing S15 for deciding whether or not to execute the instruction is executed according to the execution result of the condition.

As described above, when a data transmission request is issued from the own computer 10 to another computer 20, the operating system 12 does not execute the command as it is, but the data management means 13 makes the request correct. A process for determining whether it is a thing is executed. As a result, the function for data management is improved, and it becomes possible to prevent erroneous operation for a data transmission request. In addition, the data management means 13
The execution confirmation processing means 13d can be freely set. That is, a data management policy is always set like an application program (DB program, e-mail program) and OS, and it is not a uniform one that follows a certain one. Therefore, it is possible to flexibly deal with each situation of the processing.

Since the data management means and the execution confirmation processing means can be freely set for each computer, data management can be easily realized at the user level.
Further, when the reconfirmation procedure is performed by the execution confirmation processing means 13d, the precondition process is set and it is determined whether or not the data is transmitted based on the precondition process, so that the function for data management is improved. However, it becomes possible to prevent an erroneous operation for a data transmission request.

The operation of the data management means 13 is shown in FIG.
However, if the same processing is executed, there is no problem even if the processing is executed in an order different from that in FIG. This also applies to the following embodiments.

Embodiment 3 FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the operation of the data management means according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 19, a process S20 is a process of checking whether or not the data designated as the data transmission target is the data set in the management information 14. In the second embodiment, the operation of the data management means 13 is shown in the flowchart of FIG. 18, but the process S1 is replaced with the process S2 of FIG.
It may be replaced by the one operating as 0.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 16, 17, and 19. When a data transmission request to another computer 20 is made by the means 11 for requesting data transmission on the computer 10, the operating system 12
Before the data is executed by the data management means 13 shown in FIG.
The processing for instruction execution determination shown in 9 is started (START). First, it is checked whether or not the data designated as the data transmission target is the data set in the management information 14 (S20). If specified here, process S
In step 3, the process execution is confirmed according to the management information.

When the data is not set in the management information 14 in the process S20, it is confirmed in the process S4 whether or not the process is executed. Other processes are the same as those in the second embodiment. In this way, the management information 14
By handling data that has no setting processing in
Data management will be performed for all data, and the function for preventing erroneous processing of data by the user will be strengthened and security will be increased.

Even if the management information 14 is not set in advance, if the data is managed for all the data, the management information 14 can be set when a certain data becomes the transmission target for the first time. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the time and labor required for the management work, and the management of the data to be transmitted is not lost.

Embodiment 4 FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing the operation of the data management means according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 20, the process S21 refers to the management information transmission necessity information T4 of the transmission target data name T0, and sets the management information 14 of the corresponding data of the own computer 10 to the transmission destination computer 2.
This is a process for checking whether it is necessary to send 0. If the transmission of the management information 14 has failed and the setting in the management information transmission necessity information T4 is postpone, the processing S22 causes the partner computer 20 to execute the maintenance processing execution information T7 of the target data. This is a process of recording that the management information 5 needs to be sent. The second embodiment may be adopted.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 16, 17 and 20. Similar to the second embodiment, when the data management unit 13 performs the processing for instruction execution determination shown in FIG. 20 and determines to permit the data transmission, the processing request is issued to the operating system in the processing S2. Immediately before the execution, the following process S21 is performed. The process S21 is
In FIG. 17, data1 indicates that the management information transmission necessity information T4 is a necessary condition (must) for data transmission, and data2 indicates that the management information transmission necessity information T4 may be after data transmission (postpo
ne). Here, when it is not necessary to transmit the management information 14 or when the operation of transmitting the management information 14 is normally completed, the process S2 is executed and the data transmission is performed by the operating system 12.

As a result of the processing S21, when the transmission of the management information 14 fails and the setting in the management information transmission necessity information T4 is must, and when the data transmission (acceptance) is rejected from the partner computer 20, Performs processing S16, assuming that data transmission is not permitted. As a result of the processing S21, the transmission of the management information 14 has failed and the management information transmission necessity information T
When the setting in 4 is postpone, the maintenance process execution information T8 of the target data is set to the partner computer 20.
It is recorded that it is necessary to send the management information 5 to (S22). After that, the process S2 is executed and the data transmission is carried out by the operating system 12.

As described above, by transmitting the management information 14 to the partner computer 20 along with the transmission of data, it becomes possible to manage a certain data in all computers in the same manner. .

In the above description, when the data is transmitted, the management information 14
The case has been described where the is transmitted to the partner computer 20. In this case, when the partner computer 20 receives the management information 14, the transmission acceptance condition T6 of the management information 14 may have a condition as to whether or not to receive the target data. For example, in FIG. 17, data1 indicates that the data transmission is accepted only when the data transmission source computer is machine0, and data2 indicates that the data transmission is accepted when the data is newly created than the own computer 10.

Next, the operation of the recipient computer 20 will be described.
Data management means 1 of the computer 10 that issued the data transmission request

The partner computer 20 receiving these pieces of information refers to the transmission acceptability condition T6 of the management information 24 on its own computer 20, and determines whether the data to be transmitted is acceptable or not. The result of this determination is transmitted to the data transmission source computer 10. Then, if the data can be accepted, the partner computer 20 outputs the management information 14 regarding the transmitted target data to the own computer 2
Stored in the management information 24 of 0.

Calculator 10 trying to send data
Determines the processing to be executed after the processing S21 according to the reply result of transmitting the management information 14. By thus determining the data transmission according to the conditions of the destination computer, it is possible to avoid unnecessary data transmission or reception, and the data management capability is improved. In addition, it is possible to stop the inflow of data that adversely affects the computer or system.

Further, the management information 14 may have maintenance processing execution information T7 to be executed in the data management work.
For example, FIG. 17 shows that it is not permitted to change the content of the management information for data1, and data2 deletes this data on 5/5. Maintenance management execution information T7
Is described in the processing S4 by the data management means 13 at the time of data transmission, is described in the management information of the data transmitted from another computer, or can be set at any time other than the data transmission. .

The data management means 13 can automatically execute the data management work in the computer by periodically referring to the maintenance management execution information T7 set in this way. Thus, for example, when it is desired to temporally refer to data on another computer 20, it is possible to specify that the transmitted data will be automatically deleted after a certain period of time.

Embodiment 5 FIG. 21 is a diagram showing information in the management information according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Next, the operation will be described. It is assumed that an instruction (rcp file A computer B) for transmitting the file A to the computer B is received by an instruction from the user (operator). At this time, the shell 1a asks the management process executing means 3 whether the file A may be transmitted. Here, since the interface 3a of the management processing execution means 3 recognizes the management processing execution means 3 as one program,
The interface for calling this program from the library may be defined.

According to this definition, the management processing execution means 3 executes the above-mentioned judgment processing S1 to S16 of whether or not the file A may be sent to the computer B by an interface such as check (rcp, file A, computer B). It is executed as shown in FIG. That is, it is checked whether or not the file A may be transmitted, and if the management information 4 is set so as not to allow this, the execution confirmation process S4 is executed. The execution confirmation processing means 3d is realized by newly displaying a confirmation window on the CRT screen.

Based on the result of this execution confirmation processing S4,
When the process execution response is received from the user, the management process execution means 3 issues the process execution command S2 to the OS2a, and the OS2a executes it. The OS 2a issues the processing result to the management processing executing means 3. Further, when the management process executing means 3 recognizes that the file A cannot be transmitted to the computer B, and when the result of the execution confirmation process S4 that the user does not execute the process is obtained, the interface 3a of the management process executing means 3 is obtained. Issue information that cannot be executed.

FIG. 23 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the management process executing means according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, which is one means for forming the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 23, an arrow (→) indicates a data pointer connection, and EPO
(End Of Pointer) indicates that no more data is connected. Move file A to computer B (transfer)
Will be described.

The management processing execution means 3 traces the list of data from the entry pointer and searches for the data whose data name corresponding to the file A matches. When the definition regarding the file A is not made and there is no matching data in the management information 4, the default processing is executed (the processing instruction is executed). If the definition for file A is specified, refer to the corresponding data in the data structure,
It is checked whether or not the computer B is designated in the items of "computers that may transfer data" and "computers that should not transfer data".

When the file A may be transferred, a transfer processing request is issued to the OS 2a.
On the other hand, when the file A should not be transferred, an instruction to check whether execution confirmation processing is necessary and to display a confirmation window when it is necessary, and an instruction to output a message indicating that the confirmation window cannot be transferred when this is not necessary are issued. Issue to shell 1a.

Since the computer system is configured as described above, it is possible to change the setting of the management information 4 for each computer. Also, since the setting of the reconfirmation processing can be changed, the flexibility of information management becomes high. For example, when electronic settlement becomes commonplace and an individual has each financial information as data in a computer, data (file) such as personal financial information is set not to be transferred to another computer. When personal financial information such as tax returns, loans and credit card enrollment is needed, this information is allowed to be transferred specially.
