1. An operation management support device comprising: a memory configured to store a program; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: create an operation management flow to include a combination of operation management components for performing operation management actions on an information processing apparatus, determine, whether a parameter specifying a search condition for searching for a specific piece of configuration information of the information processing apparatus from a configuration management database is set for the operation management component included in the created operation management flow, acquire from the configuration management database, based on the set parameter, an arrangement of element information included in the configuration information of the information processing apparatus, the element information corresponding to information in which the parameter is settable as an attribute information, generate, based on the acquired arrangement of element information, search condition information for searching for the configuration information in which the parameter is set as attribute information, and add the generated search condition information to the operation management component included in the created operation management flow, wherein the configuration information of the information processing apparatus registered in the configuration management database has such a structure that the element information is arranged hierarchically, and wherein the processor is configured to generate the search condition information by repeating the acquiring of the element information included in the configuration information of the information processing apparatus registered in the configuration management database and corresponding to the parameter set for the operation management component in descending order of hierarchy until the element information in which the parameter is settable as attribute information is acquired, assembling the acquired element information into an arrangement, and setting the parameter as a search condition for attribute information of element information in which the parameter is settable as the attribute information.
