1. A processing apparatus that relocates data processing functions on another apparatus to continue data processing, the processing apparatus comprising one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
storing information indicating a communication relationship between apparatuses;
calculating, based on the information indicating the communication relationship, a corresponding estimated transfer delay of data for each of a plurality of schedulings, wherein the transfer delay is generated during relocation of the data processing functions, and each scheduling corresponds to a different order of the apparatuses for performing the relocation of data processing functions;
selecting a particular scheduling, from the plurality of schedulings, whose corresponding estimated transfer delay is minimized;
setting, based on the selected particular scheduling, an order of the apparatuses for the relocation of the data processing functions and a start timing of the relocation of the data processing functions; and
relocating the data processing functions to the other apparatus in accordance with the order and the start timing.
