Abstract

In a server device, an intermittent appender intermittently appends to a report file for a store, at predetermined time intervals, log information of a record newly generated or updated in a database. Upon receiving a request for download of the report file from a store terminal, a supplementary appender appends to the report file the log information after the previous appending by the intermittent appender. Upon start of appending by the supplementary appender, a provider causes the intermittent appender to hold appending, and upon completion of the appending by the supplementary appender, provides the store terminal with the report file. Upon completion of providing the report file by the provider, a resumer initializes the report file, and then cancels holding of the intermittent appender to cause the intermittent appender to resume the appending.
