Method for controlling a computer

A computer control method for use with a computer system comprising a plurality of physical computers which each receives a command to execute a program and which each executes the program and a control computer which transmits the command to the physical computers to control the physical computers, wherein the control computer:

• beforehand stores physical computer names respectively of the plural physical computers with a correspondence established between the physical computer names and computer types;
• analyzes the command including a computer type of one of logical computers which executes the command;
• and
• transmits the command thus analyzed to each of the physical computers corresponding to the computer type.

A control computer which reads a command to execute a program stored in advance and which sends the command to a plurality of physical computers to thereby control the physical computers, comprising:

• a module for beforehand storing logical computer names respectively of the plural physical computers with a correspondence established between the physical computers and the logical computer names;
• a module for analyzing the command including the logical computer name of the logical computer which executes the command;
• and
• a module for transmitting the command thus analyzed to each of the physical computers corresponding to the logical computer name.

A control program to be executed by a control computer which reads a command to execute a program stored in advance and which sends the command to a plurality of physical computers to thereby control the physical computers, comprising:

• a step of beforehand storing logical computer names respectively of the plural physical computers with a correspondence established between the physical computers and the logical computer names;
• a step of analyzing the command including the logical computer name of the logical computer which executes the command;
• and
• a step of transmitting the command thus analyzed to each of the physical computers corresponding to the logical computer name.

A job flow setting method of setting a job flow for a job scheduling system which defines for an information system including a plurality of computers an operation procedure in a format of a job flow to execute the operation procedure, comprising the steps of:

• inputting system configuration information representing a configuration of the information system;
• inputting partial information of the system configuration information, as a parameter of a job included in the job flow;
• and
• establishing at execution of the job flow a correspondence between the partial information contained in the parameter and physical information required to execute the job, according to the system configuration information.
