Abstract

A computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute information processing is provided, wherein plural pieces of management object information are stored in a storage device with unique identification information and non-unique name information, the information processing including: receiving a process request that specifies management object information of a process object by using location information which is represented by a sequence of name information assigned to respective pieces of management object information;

selecting one piece of management object information corresponding to the location information with reference to history information which is registered with the location information and the management object information being associated with each other; and sending back a result of a process that is executed for the selected management object information of the process object in accordance with the process request.

Claims

1. A computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute information processing,

wherein plural pieces of management object information are stored in a storage device in a storage structure of a predetermined type with unique identification information and non-unique name information being assigned to each management object information,

the information processing comprising:

receiving a process request that specifies management object information of a process object by using location information, wherein the location information is represented by a sequence of name information assigned to respective pieces of management object information from management object information serving as an origin to the management object information of the process object;

selecting, from the storage device as the management object information of the process object, one piece of management object information corresponding to the location information used by the received process request with reference to history information which is registered with the location information of the process object and the management object information of the process object being associated with each other; and

sending back a result of a process that is executed for the selected management object information of the process object in accordance with the process request.

3. The computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein

the received process request further includes user information, and

the selecting step selects one piece of management object information corresponding to the location information used by the received process request with reference to history information which is registered with the location information of the process object, the user information and the management object information of the process object being associated with each other.

2. A computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute information processing,

wherein plural pieces of management object information are stored in a storage device in a storage structure of a predetermined type with unique identification information and non-unique name information being assigned to each management object information,

the information processing comprising:

(A) receiving a process request that specifies management object information of a process object by using identification information;

(B) converting the identification information of the specified management object information to location information, wherein the location information is represented by a sequence of name information assigned to respective pieces of management object information from management object information serving as an origin to the management object information of the process object;

(C) sending back the converted location information;

(D) receiving a process request that specifies the management object information of the process object by using the location information;

(E) selecting, from the storage device as the management object information of the process object, one piece of management object information corresponding to the location information used by the process request received by the receiving step of (D) with reference to history information which is registered with the location information of the process object and the management object information of the process object being associated with each other; and

(F) sending back a result of a process that is executed for the selected management object information of the process object in accordance with the process request.

4. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a storage device that stores plural pieces of management object information in a storage structure of a predetermined type with unique identification information and non-unique name information being assigned to each management object information;

receiving section that receives a process request that specifies management object information of a process object by using location information, wherein the location information is represented by a sequence of name information assigned to respective pieces of management object information from management object information serving as an origin to the management object information of the process object;

selecting section that selects, from the storage device as the management object information of the process object, one piece of management object information corresponding to the location information used by the received process request with reference to history information which is registered with the location information of the process object and the management object information of the process object being associated with each other; and

sending back section that sends back a result of a process that is executed for the management object information of the process object selected by the selecting section in accordance with the process request.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein

the process request received by the receiving section further includes user information, and

the selecting section selects one piece of management object information corresponding to the location information used by the received process request with reference to history information which is registered with the location information of the process object, the user information and the management object information of the process object being associated with each other.
