IMPACT ANALYSIS METHOD, IMPACT ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An impact analysis method in which a management computer including a processor and a memory analyzes an influence on software from hardware in a computer system, the method comprising:
- a first step in which the management computer receives a time band for which the analysis is conducted;
a second step in which the management computer acquires configuration information that defines configuration elements of the hardware and configuration elements of the software, and relation information between the configuration elements of the hardware and the configuration elements of the software;
a third step in which the management computer acquires influence definition information that defines influences among the configuration elements of the configuration information;
a fourth step in which the management computer reads in time-series information that defines information related to operation of the software in time-series;
a fifth step in which the management computer determines an influence of the configuration elements of the hardware on the configuration elements of the software on a basis of operation states in time-series defined by the time-series information from the relation information and the influence definition information to determine a configuration element of the software that is influenced by the hardware among the configuration elements of the software in the time band; and
a sixth step in which the management computer outputs the configuration element of the software that is influenced by the hardware in time-series including the time band.
