To facilitate the correction of a cooperative processing flow for performing the preset cooperative processing of a job between a plurality of devices connected through a network when the function of a device configuring a network changes.
When it is defected that the function of any device changes, a cooperative processing flow influenced by the detected function change is corrected and the corrected cooperative processing flow is stored. Also, the cooperative processing flow influenced by the detected function change is corrected, and the corrected cooperative processing flow is proposed to the owner user of the cooperative processing. Advantage for a user is preferably evaluated by comparing the corrected cooperative processing flow with the cooperative processing flow in a status quo, and preferably the evaluation result is announced and proposed to the owner user of the work flow.
