Patent ID: 7316015

Claim:
A method for automatically constructing an execution environment for a program, comprising: acquiring, by a first apparatus, at least the program and an execution environment setting file defining the program execution environment parameters from a second apparatus; acquiring, by the first apparatus, parameter conversion identification files of the first apparatus and the second apparatus, each parameter conversion identification file storing a parameter identifier identifying each execution environment parameter defined commonly in the first apparatus and the second apparatus, and an execution environment parameter used in the second apparatus corresponding to each parameter identifier; creating, by the first apparatus, a parameter conversion table converting the execution environment parameter used in the second apparatus into the execution environment parameter for use in the first apparatus, based on the acquired parameter conversion identification files; and converting, by the first apparatus, the execution environment parameter of the execution environment setting file acquired from the second apparatus into the execution environment parameter suitable for the first apparatus to create an execution environment setting file for the first apparatus, on the basis of the parameter conversion table.
