Description

The present invention relates to a customizing system capable of customizing an application system to create a similar application system.

[Prior Art] A conventional customizing system of this type has the configuration shown in FIG. That is, a part of the application system is changed in consideration of the user's requirements to create a system that matches the user. At this time, it is necessary to find out the influence of the change due to the customization, but this information is in the head of the development experience who created the application system, various management ledgers, etc., enter this, create the change instruction, By this instruction, parts are recreated, compiled, and parts are assembled to create a customized application system.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

In the above-mentioned customization system, the management information for the customization is not managed in an integrated manner, and the customization work is often done manually against this background, and there are the following problems.

-Evaluation of the interface by changing the parts is only a visual check, and there is a problem that a defect is discovered at the time of compiling or at the operation check evaluation after system assembly, which causes productivity / quality deterioration due to backtracking.

-Since the influence range due to component changes was not automatically detected and was checked manually, a defect was found in the operation check after system assembly of the component that originally needed to be recreated by recompiling. Therefore, there is a problem that productivity / quality is deteriorated due to the backtracking.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The customizing system of the present invention uses, as the customized management information, at least an application system name, a component name, a reference component name, a management information file holding a component reference parameter list, and data of the management information file as an arbitrary key. Management information retrieval / update means for referring / updating below, a user's instruction input from the terminal, a control means for driving other elements of this system, and a control means for receiving an instruction for customization. At least, in order to confirm the interface between the parts at the time of customizing the parts, the information about the parts in the management information file is read, and the influence range is limited from the evaluation of the correspondence between the quoted parameter and its value and the definition parameter definition area. And edit the object specified by the above-mentioned change impact solution means into a format for parts maintenance That a component maintenance instruction means, composed of a system assembly instruction means for editing the object specified by the aforementioned change impact SOLUTION system assembling instruction format.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First
The figure is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a management information file for the customizing system, and 2 is a management data search / update means for searching / updating management data in the management information file.
Is a control means for inputting and analyzing an instruction from the terminal user to drive other elements of the system, and 4 is processing the data of the management information file to check the interface and the effect of the change by changing the parts. 5 is a parts maintenance instruction means for creating instruction commands for parts, and 6 is a system assembly instruction for creating instruction commands for system assembly. It is a means.

FIG. 3 shows one of the embodiments of the present invention for explaining the customizing.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a change influence analysis range that occurs with the customization. In the following, the operation of customizing the component P2 will be described in order.

In the management information file, at least the format: system information storage area holds the application system name, component name, and component reference parameter list. Format: component information storage area stores the component definition name, component Definition parameter list,
A reference part name and a part reference parameter list are held.
An example of this is shown in FIG. The components whose system name is "SY1" are "P1" and "P2".
The part reference parameter list for "1" is "X1 = x11, Y1 = y11".
Is. This means that the part P1 is quoted by the parameters of X1 and Y1 and its value is x1. On the other hand, 24,25,26
Holds information about the part P1, and is a part name, a definition name, and a part definition parameter list, respectively. The part definition parameter list holds the domain of values for the parameters X1 and Y1. 27 and 28 represent internal reference parts of the part P1.

When the control means receives a customizing instruction of the component P2 from the terminal 7, it passes control to the change influence solving means to resolve the range of the components affected by the customizing of the component.

The change impact solution means searches the management information file for the part P2 using the management information search update means. Next, the customization information 210, 211 of P2 is fetched. In this example, part P2
This is the case when there is a change in the reference parameter of its internal component QQ1 due to customization. That is, the reference to the Q1 parameter has disappeared, and the reference has been changed to the Q1 ′ parameter.

In the following, an operation example of the change influence solving means will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 (a) shows the parts configuration of the system SY1, 41 is information on the system SY1,
2 is the interface between SY1 and the component P1 it uses. The change impact solution means traces the relationship between the system and the parts of the management information file and the relationship between the parts using the management information search update means, and obtains the parts interface 12, 15, 16 of the calling side and the reference side of the part P2. . FIG. 4 (b),
(C) is an example of this. Next, for each of the obtained interfaces, it is checked whether or not the object is to be customized. In this example, interface 15 or parts
It can be seen that there is a change in the interface with the internal calling component QQ1 of P2. Next, in order to evaluate whether the interface to be changed is appropriate, it is evaluated whether the value of the reference parameter is in the domain of the definition parameter. That is, it is necessary to find the domain of the Q1 ′ parameter, which can be obtained by tracing the management information file with the part name QQ1. If the evaluation is valid here, the following processing is performed.If it is determined that the evaluation is not valid, the instruction is returned to the control means, and it is immediately notified to the terminal user that the customization of the parts is illegal. Will be returned.

Next, if the customization of the parts is appropriate, the range of the affected parts is grasped. Therefore, based on this information, the parts maintenance means and the system assembly means are driven to customize the system by the parts customization. be able to. In this example, changing the part P2 results in the part QQ1
If the interface evaluation is not changed, the system customization is completed only by reassembling the component P2.
If there is a change in the interface with the component QQ1, QQ1 is changed, and this procedure is the same as that for the component P2 described above. Also, if it is information that recompilation etc. is required, drive the parts maintenance means based on this information,
It can be recompiled.

As described above, the customization of the system is achieved based on the management information file.

〔The invention's effect〕

 As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

Since the interface consistency is evaluated immediately by customizing the parts, it is possible to improve productivity / quality by eliminating the backtracking due to compilation / evaluation.
