Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a work analysis program for analyzing a flow of work based upon an operating status of a computer system, said work analysis program causing a computer to execute operations comprising: storing a plurality of update information each of which including an identifier individually identifying a work process accompanying updates of a plurality of data sets, an update time at which said data sets were updated, and data set names of said data sets; storing period information that defines splitting at least a part of an operating period of said computer system into a plurality of analysis unit periods; classifying said plurality of update information into said plurality of analysis unit periods corresponding to each update time; generating first workflow information, in which a plurality of data set names are sorted for each of said work processes, based upon a first part of said plurality of update information classified into a first analysis unit period; generating second workflow information, in which a plurality of data set names are sorted for each of said work processes, based upon a second part of said plurality of update information classified into a second analysis unit period; generating first transition information indicating a transition relation between two of said data sets that have been successively updated, based upon said first workflow information generating second transition information indicating another transition relation between two of said data sets that have been successively updated, based upon said second workflow information; generating change information including some differences between said first transition information and said second transition information, based upon a comparison of said first transition information and said second transition information; and outputting said change information.
