Abstract:
A communication path management apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and to decide, for each of processing-pairs, part of inter-adjacent-server communication paths that couple adjacent servers on communication paths among servers in the network as data-transfer-paths used for data transfer from a first processing to a second processing of a processing-pair, the processing-pair including first and second processings that are consecutive in the order of execution, based on an execution track record of the first processing that is earlier in the order of execution and the second processing that is later in the order of execution in the processing-pair in each of the servers, and instruct servers at both ends of the data-transfer-paths decided regarding each of the processing-pairs to carry out data transfer of an execution result of the first processing by the data-transfer-paths.

Claim (Index 12):
The communication path management method according to  claim 11 , further comprising:\n determining whether or not a track record of execution of the second processing exists in any one of servers allowed to be reached by tracing the shortest path that passes through the data transfer path from the data transfer path to a side more remote from the starting point server, wherein, in the instructing, servers at both ends of the data transfer path determined to have the track record of execution of the second processing are instructed to establish a communication coupling of bidirectional communication and servers at both ends of the data transfer path determined to have no track record of execution of the second processing are instructed to establish a communication coupling of unidirectional communication from the side more remote from the starting point server to a side closer to the starting point server.
