Abstract

PURPOSE:To solve the communication fault of an on-line system based on the circuit data collected previously and without any special equipment. CONSTITUTION:An operating designation input part 21 stores the information desired by an operator into an operating designation storage part 22 through an input device 1. A circuit data input part 25 inputs the circuit data from a designated communication controller 29 via a circuit 4. Then a code converting part 26 performs the code conversion of the input data by reference to a code table stored in a code table storage part 23. An editing part 27 edits the converted data while identifying the data collecting time and the data outgoing/ incoming modes. An output part 28 outputs the edited data to a designated output file 3. In such a constitution, the factor of a communication fault can be studied.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data terminal device having a line data collection function for an online system.

0002

[Background Art] Conventionally, when a communication failure occurs in a computer online system, the cause of the problem is determined based on a record of the OS status through a memory dump and a trace list representing the exchange of information between the OS and a communication control device. was conducting an investigation.

0003

The conventional system described above does not have a function to collect line data of an online system, so it is not possible to check the actual transmission/reception status of data on the line. Therefore, in order to determine whether the cause of a communication failure is due to differences in the data sending environment, receiving environment, line environment, or differences in specifications between the sending and receiving environments, for example, a special diagnostic device called an online scope is used. The drawback was that the cause of the communication failure could not be determined without preparation.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a data terminal device having a function of collecting data transmitted on a line of an online system, which includes an operation specification storage section for storing operator's instruction contents, and an operation specification storage section for storing the contents of an operator's instruction. a line data input means for collecting line data from a predetermined communication control device based on instruction contents stored in a designated storage unit; The system includes an editing means for displaying tabulated line data, and an output means for storing the tabulated line data in a predetermined output file.

Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the data terminal device having the line data collection function of this embodiment is composed of an input device 1, a data terminal device 2, and an output file 3. Consists of an operation specification input section 21, an operation specification storage section 22, a code table storage section 23, a clock section 24, a line data input section 25, a code conversion section 26, an editing section 27, an output section 28, and a communication control device 29. .

Next, the operation of the data terminal device 2 of this embodiment will be explained.

First, the operation specification input section 21 of the data terminal device 2 allows the operator to enter various information from the input device 1, such as which communication control device's line data should be converted into which code and which file should be output. Enter the operation instruction information,
These are stored in the action designation storage section 22. The line data input section 25 inputs data from the corresponding communication control device 29 via the line 4 based on the machine number of the communication control device specified by the operation specification storage section 22 . The code conversion section 26 converts the input data into the code specified by the operation specification storage section 22 by referring to the code table stored in the code table storage section 23 . The editing unit 27 distinguishes and edits the converted line data, the line data collection time obtained from the clock unit 24, and whether it is outgoing data or incoming data. Then, the output unit 28 outputs the edited line data to the output file 3 specified by the operation specification storage unit 22.

0010

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention has the effect that by equipping a data terminal device with a line data collection function, it becomes possible to investigate the cause of a communication failure without preparing special diagnostic equipment. .
