Abstract
A management system capable of preventing a problem from occurring in synchronizing setting data. The setting data is managed by a server, and is alternatively managed by an MFP as an alternative server. The server keeps a first time. The MFP keeps a second time. The MFP corrects the second time using a difference between the first time and the second time. The MFP manages the setting data based on the corrected second time.
Claims12
A management system including an alternative management apparatus that alternatively manages setting data managed by a management apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor which act as:
- a correction unit configured to correct a second time using a difference between a first time kept by the management apparatus and the second time kept by the alternative management apparatus;
- and
- a management unit configured to manage the setting data based on the corrected second time.
An alternative management apparatus that alternatively manages setting data managed by a management apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor which act as:
- a correction unit configured to correct a second time using a difference between a first time kept by the management apparatus and the second time kept by the alternative management apparatus;
- and
- a management unit configured to manage the setting data based on the corrected second time.
A method of managing setting data, which is executed by an alternative management apparatus that alternatively manages the setting data managed by a management apparatus, comprising:
- correcting a second time using a difference between a first time kept by the management apparatus and the second time kept by the alternative management apparatus;
- and
- managing the setting data based on the corrected second time.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for executing a method of managing setting data, which is executed by an alternative management apparatus that alternatively manages the setting data managed by a management apparatus,
- wherein the method comprises:
- correcting a second time using a difference between a first time kept by the management apparatus and the second time kept by the alternative management apparatus;
- and
- managing the setting data based on the corrected second time.
