<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow anybody to easily determine an image formation workflow optimum for an image formation request required from a client. <P>SOLUTION: A process management manager 111 retrieves a system process database and generates a first network workflow showing the entire available workflows to generate a template of a designated product. The process management manager 111 compares a character string in a received job definition file with a character string in the template to specify the final product and eliminates workflows irrelevant to the final product from the first network workflow to generate a second network workflow. Then, the process management manager 111 specifies the only one workflow from the second network workflow by a preset selection condition to generate a process job definition file. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
