Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

When the input unit 35A receives the first identification information 34A and the second identification information 34B from the communication I / F unit 31 or the operation input unit 32, the input unit 35A stores the first identification information 34A and the second identification information 34B in the storage unit 34. Further, when the collection unit 35 B receives the performance data of the resource from any of the systems 10 through the communication I / F unit 31, the collection unit 35 B stores the performance data in the storage unit 34. At this time, the collection unit 35B additionally registers the received performance data in the collected data 34C having the identification information 34C1 matching the identification information of the transmission source system 10 among the plurality of collected data 34C.

The extraction unit 35C starts the process illustrated in FIG. 10 periodically or at a timing when a request is issued from the operation input unit 32.

First, the extraction unit 35C focuses on identification information of one system in the combination of the first identification information 34A (step S1). Next, after confirming that the identification information of the system of interest exists (step S2), the extraction unit 35C focuses on the collected data 34C having identification information 34C1 that matches the identification information of the system of interest (step S2) S3).

Next, the extraction unit 35C focuses on performance data 34C2 of one resource included in the focused collection data 34C (step S4). Next, after confirming that the performance data of the resource of interest is present (step S5), the extraction unit 35C determines whether the performance data 34C2 of the resource of interest is performance data related to a specific process. Is analyzed as follows.

First, the extraction unit 35C focuses on one piece of identification information 34B2 included in the second identification information 34B (step S6). Next, after confirming that the second identification information 34B2 of interest exists (step S7), the extraction unit 35C matches the performance data 34C2 of the resource of interest with the second identification information 34B2 of interest. Whether or not identification information is included is analyzed (step S8). Since the resource performance data 34C2 has the structure shown in FIG. 6, the extraction unit 35C first determines whether the identification information 34C211 of the resource matches the second identification information 34B2 of interest. If a match is detected, the process of step S8 ends. If they do not match, the extraction unit 35C checks whether or not identification information exists at another location in the resource performance data 34C2. The resource 34C2 may have identification information in the performance value 34C21312 of the data 34C213 regarding its respective performance. That is, there is a possibility that identification information such as a process ID, a user ID, and a session ID as illustrated in FIG. 8 is included in the resource performance data 34C2. The extraction unit 35C determines whether the identification information matches the second identification information 34B2 of interest each time the identification information is found. Here, when identifying the identification information, as described above, a definition file in which the position of the identification information is described may be prepared for each format of the performance data, and may be searched by referring to the definition file. If a match is detected, the process of step S8 ends. If it is found that all the identification information found does not match the second identification information 34B2 of interest, the process of step S8 is also ended.

When the extraction unit 35C determines that the second identification information of interest is included in the performance data 34C2 of the resource of interest as a result of the process of step S8 (YES in step S9), the resource of interest is selected. Is stored in the storage unit 34 as one of the selection data 34D (step S10). Then, the extraction unit 35C focuses attention on the performance data 34C2 of the next resource included in the focused collection data 34C (step S11), returns to step S5, and repeats the same processing as the above-described processing.

On the other hand, when the extraction unit 35C determines that the 34C2 of the resource of interest does not include the second identification information of interest (NO in step S9), the next one of the second identification information 34 is selected. Focus on one piece of identification information (step S12), return to step S7, and check whether the performance data 34C2 of the resource being focused on includes the second identification information that is newly focused on as in the previous procedure. Investigate in the procedure of Similar processing is performed to find identification information that matches the second identification information in the performance data 34C2 of the focused resource, or performance data 34C2 of the resource that the focused identification information matches with any second identification information. Repeat until you find it is not present.

When the extraction unit 35C finishes the sorting of the performance data 34C2 of the resource of interest by the above-mentioned processing, it focuses attention on the performance data 34C2 of the next resource (step S11), returns to step S5, and newly It is investigated whether or not any second identification information exists in the performance data 34C2 of the focused resource.

Then, when the extraction unit 35C finishes screening of the performance data 34C2 of all the resources included in the focused collection data 34C (YES in step S5), another one of the combinations of the first identification information 34A is selected. Attention is directed to the identification information 34A2 of the system (step S13), and the process returns to step S2 to repeat the same process as the process described above. As a result, performance data of a resource having any of the identification information in the second identification information 34B is extracted from the other collected data 34C.

When the extraction unit 35C finishes the process on the collected data 34C corresponding to the identifiers of all the systems 10 included in the first identification information 34A (YES in step S2), the process of FIG. 10 ends.

When the processing of the extraction unit 35C is completed, the output unit 35D transmits the selection data 34D stored in the storage unit 34 to an external terminal through the communication I / F unit 31, or displays the selection data 34D on the screen display unit 33.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the resources involved in a specific process are limited to the resources of some of the plurality of systems 10, There is no need to analyze whether or not desired identification information is included in performance data of all collected resources when selecting only performance data of resources involved in specific processing, and efficient screening is possible. It will be possible.

Third Embodiment

When the update unit 35E receives a message indicating that resource accommodation has been performed between the systems 10 through the communication I / F unit 31, the update unit 35E analyzes the message, and the identification information of the system serving as the resource borrower is the first identification. A function of additionally registering, in the combination in the information 34A, the identification information of the system 10 as a lender of resources in the above combination of the first identification information 34A as identification information of a system having a resource involved in a specific process. Have.

In recent years, in order to cope with resource shortage, it has been proposed or put into practice that resources be interchanged between computer systems. When resource interchange is implemented between computer systems, the combination of computer systems involved in a specific process changes. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, there are three computer systems 10-1, 10-2 and 10-3 as computer systems having resources involved in a specific process, and these three computer systems are initially It is assumed that resources 10-1 to 10-3 cooperate to execute a specific process. Thereafter, in order to resolve the resource shortage of the computer system 10-1, as shown in FIG. 12B, it is assumed that the computer system 10-1 has received resource accommodation from another computer system 10-4. In this case, as a form in which the computer system 10-1 executes a specific process, a form using resources of the own computer system 10-1 itself and a form using resources borrowed from the computer system 10-4 can be considered. .

When the computer system 10-1 receives resource accommodation from the computer system 10-4, the computer system 10-1 or the computer system 10-4 or a computer (not shown) that controls resource accommodation is sent to the computer 40.
