Abstract: Fault monitoring/controlling apparatus and method for a data processing system comprises one or more computer systems, monitor and control apparatuses connected thereto for monitoring and controlling the associated computer systems and a single supervision/control system provided at a site remote from the computer systems. When abnormality taking place in the computer system is decided as a fault, report of the fault occurrence is automatically effectuated to the remotely located supervision/control system, which responds to the reception of the fault report and issues, if necessary, a command requesting additional supply of detailed fault information to the computer system suffering the fault. The additional fault information is comparatively collated with the fault information accumulated (precedents). When a reference precedent which coincides with the fault occurring currently is found to be present as the result of collation, a recovery procedure is generated on the basis of the precedent data to be subsequently transmitted to the computer system of concern. A plurality of computer systems can be monitored in a consolidated manner, wherein fault taking place in the computer systems can be removed rapidly through diagnosis and execution of appropriate procedure.

TL;DR: In this article, a control apparatus for realizing remote operation control for a computer system is interposed between the Computer system and a master console for supervising data stream on a data transmission/reception signal line existing between the computer system and the master console.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a group of tables for storing the characteristics of computer systems in the network system with which the site of that computer system is communicatable, the cumulative total of account information when the site executed jobs requested from another site, and the calculated value of the balance of accounts between the sites of each computer system and each site in correspondence to each site.

TL;DR: In this article, an automatic operation control system for controlling the automatic operation of a computer system, stores in a storage unit the status informations of hardware configuration and software configuration, a running event of the operating system and application programs, and a procedure for an operation command to be executed in accordance with the configuration information and occurred event.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to monitor and recover the fault of a computer system from a remote place by providing a computer operating system as the controlled object with a monitor controller.
