Abstract
In an information processing apparatus connected to at least one data retaining apparatus over a network to execute a process on data kept in the data retaining apparatus, it is possible to display, with certainty, data identification information of data that was retrieved in the past and discriminate, with ease, whether or not data of the displayed data identification information is usable or not, irrespective of the activation state of the data retaining apparatus. For The information processing apparatus has a display controlling unit which displays data identification information together with information representing whether data of the data identification information is accessible or not on a displaying unit on the basis of a data list including the data identification information of the data and a retaining place of the data, and a situation of monitoring by a server monitoring unit.
