Processing-time-definition creating program, processing-time-definition creating method, and information processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with a processing-time-definition creating program including instructions executable on a computer, the program defining a processing time in a computer system including a plurality of computers for which the processing time is calculated, the program causing the computer to execute:
- displaying a definition information input screen in which a hierarchy of transmission and reception of each message in the plurality of computers corresponds to a first coordinate value and an order of appearance of each message corresponds to a second coordinate value and in which each message is represented by an arrow that connects the computers between which the message is transmitted or received, that has a direction of transmission or reception, and that exists at a position corresponding to the order of appearance of the message;
receiving an input into the definition information input screen under constraints of permitting only an input specifying a starting point and an end point of an arrow representing a message, permitting only an input specifying a hierarchy in which a first message is transmitted as a starting point of a message processing path, permitting only an input specifying the hierarchy that was set as the starting point of the message processing path as an end point of the message processing path, and permitting only an input in which a time of an starting point or an end point that is newly specified is equal to or later than a time of a starting point or an end point that was previously specified as the message processing path; and
creating a processing time in each of the plurality of computers along the message processing path based on the received input.

Abstract
A processing time can be defined in a system including a plurality of computers for which the processing time is calculated, by displaying candidates of paths corresponding to flow of a series of processings as to transmission and reception of each message based on transmission and reception of messages among a plurality of computers; receiving an input that selects one path among the displayed candidates; and creating a processing time in each of computers in the flow of a series of processings as to transmission and reception of messages based on the received input.
