Abstract

A system which executes a workflow without a management apparatus immediately notifies the user of an error which has occurred in a device. When an error occurs in a job in a device which is executing the workflow, the device which shares the workflow with other devices transmits the log of the error to a device of the end stage of the workflow in accordance with the flow of the workflow.
