PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION METHOD AND COMPUTER SYSTEM

Program distribution arrangements (e.g., carried out by a managing computer) for distributing a corresponding program to an apparatus including a processor, a memory, and a communication interface, such arrangements including: storing program request information indicating a condition required for executing the program; judging whether an apparatus as a distribution destination of the program includes a program execution control unit for controlling execution of the program; partially revising the program to a partially revised program to be distributed, according to the program request information, when the program is to be distributed to an apparatus not including the program execution control unit; and distributing the partially revised program to the apparatus not including the program execution control unit.
