Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus for executing a job in cooperation with an external apparatus, according to a job flow in which a plurality of processes have been defined, the image processing apparatus comprising a processor that implements: a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the image processing apparatus can execute a process, among the processes defined in the job flow to be executed, which is designated to be executed by the external apparatus; an execution unit configured to execute the process which is designated to be executed by the external apparatus in response to determining that the image processing apparatus can execute the process; a generation unit configured to generate a job flow changed so that the external apparatus does not execute processes, among the processes defined in the job flow to be executed, which have been executed by the execution unit; a log management unit configured to manage an execution result by the execution unit as log information; a confirm unit configured to confirm whether or not the external apparatus can manage the log information managed by the log management unit, as an execution result of a process executed by the external apparatus; and a control unit configured to control the image processing apparatus to not execute the process even if the determination unit has determined that the image processing apparatus can execute the process in a case where the confirm unit has confirmed that the external apparatus cannot manage the log information managed by the log management unit, as an execution result of a process executed by the external apparatus.
