Claim 0:
1. A processing system comprising a high-order system and a low-order system, the high-order system configured to process a high-order workflow and to transmit a processing command to the low-order system, the low-order system configured to process a low-order workflow in accordance with the processing command from the high-order system and to transmit a device command to a device,
the high-order system including:
a storage device configured to store progress data in which an identifier of the device and a device command to be executed by the device are associated with each other;
a high-order workflow advancing unit, including one or more processors, configured to transmit a processing command for asynchronous processing to the low-order system; and
a notice processing unit, including one or more processors, configured to receive, from the low-order system, a notice related to the device command to be executed by the device in the asynchronous processing, and update the progress data, the low-order system including:
a low-order workflow advancing unit, including one or more processors, configured to transmit, upon receiving the processing command from the high-order system, the device command to the device; and
a notification unit, including one or more processors, configured to notify, when transmission of the device command to the device is detected, the high-order system of the identifier of the device to which the device command was transmitted and the device command.
