ABSTRACT:
A program loading method loads a processing program that operates on a computer into the computer under control of a control program that operates on a service processor which is coupled to the computer. The processing program includes a predetermined processing procedure part that carries out a predetermined process according to a predetermined procedure. The program loading method includes the steps of (a) providing in the processing program a function of declaring a provisional execution mode and a process of judging whether or not the processing program is executable on the loaded computer when loading at least a portion of the processing program from the service processor to the computer, where the provisional execution mode is a mode in which the processing program is provisionally executed on the computer to judge whether or not the processing program is actually executable, (b) providing in the service processor a diagnosis instruction that is called from the processing program, where the diagnosis instruction includes functions of cancelling the provisional execution mode and discontinuing execution of the processing program, and (c) judging whether or not the processing program is executable prior to execution of the predetermined processing procedure part within the processing program, and cancelling the provisional execution mode of the processing program from the service processor if executable and suppressing execution of the processing program from the service processor if non-executable.
