Abrégé

A processor acquires a current change request of a network virtualization environment, and automatically rejects the current change request if a determination criterion that satisfies a value of a comparison item in the current change request is not detected in a determination criterion management database. If the determination criterion that satisfies the value of the comparison item is detected, the processor searches for a past change record that satisfies the determination criterion (execution result of the past change of the same type). If the execution result of the past change is not detected, the processor automatically rejects the current change request. If the execution result of the past change is detected, the processor automatically approves the current change request when a predetermined condition related to the execution result of the past change is satisfied, but automatically rejects the current change request when the predetermined condition is not satisfied.

Abrégé

A network management apparatus performs a determination process and a prioritization process. The determination process is processing that determines, while instructing to execute a first task registered in a first queue in sequence, whether or not an execution condition of a second task registered in a second queue, which has an execution priority higher than the first task, is satisfied. The prioritization process is processing that gives priority to instructing to execute the second task when the execution condition of the second task is satisfied.
