System for informing a computer user of a conflict encountered during resource allocation to expansion cards of different types having resource information in different format

摘要

A conflict object is generated during a conflict resolution process when resource conflicts cannot be resolved. The conflict object contains detailed information concerning the source of the conflict. If the conflict results from a manually-configured board and the manually- configured board can be reconfigured to remove the conflict, the conflict object provides information concerning the necessary change. When the conflict object is generated, an exception is also thrown, allowing the computer system to perform additional processing such as notifying the user and displaying the contents of the conflict object.
