DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a basic configuration of a data concentrator according to one embodiment of the present invention. The data concentrator 1 has a plurality of types of data A,
B, a plurality of concentrators file F _A to concentrator C to the respective types each, F _B, comprising a F _C, and a plurality of types plurality of after each concentrator completion of data concentrators file F _A, F
_B, succeeding job J _A corresponding to each of the F _C, J _B,
A data concentrator 1a for executing _JC and each concentrator file F
Whether the collection of each of the plurality of types of data A, B, and _C by _A , F _B , and F _{C is} possible is monitored and controlled based on predetermined state confirmation information, and of the subsequent jobs J _A , J _B , and J _C. And a collective data check unit 1b for controlling the execution of the corresponding data.

Here, the predetermined state confirmation information in the collected data check unit 1b includes three types of information relating to the line state α, the collected state β for each data type, and the state γ of the succeeding job. I have. Received data check unit 1b
Refers to the status γ information of the succeeding job and
a) causes a failure in the execution of a specific job of the succeeding job, or refers to the line status α information or the received status β information for each data type to specify a plurality of collected files by the data collecting unit 1a. If a failure occurs in the transfer of data to the corresponding file, the transfer of data to the corresponding type of file is prohibited.

In the case of the data concentrator 1, the collected data check section 1b has the above-described three types of status confirmation information. The collection file F _A ,
F _B, data A, respectively type the F _C, B, prior to the concentrator to C, function of monitoring control to confirm whether or not it is possible to concentrators in concentrator data check unit 1b is obtained. Therefore, in the system for the data concentrator 1, when performing data consolidation, first, at the time of startup, the converged data check unit 1b
Refers to the state confirmation information, and as a result, if collection is possible, the data collection unit 1a is operated to start collection.

The operation of the data collection system according to the data collection device 1 will now be specifically described. For example,
When the data A is first collected, the collected data check unit 1b first confirms that there is no line failure based on the initial value of the line state α information, and then checks the collected state β for each data type.
Data A by the information, B, after confirming that it is not in the C throat data also concentrator, the state γ information succeeding job subsequently confirmed that data A is not being processed by the succeeding job J _A (document cited Ha Corresponding). After that, the data collection unit 1a starts collection, sets the collection state β information for each data type to “collecting”, and gives an initial value to the state γ information of the succeeding job (corresponding to the document reference A). When the concentrator is completed, the concentrator data check unit 1b releases the data by type of concentrator state β information, the subsequent job J _A the start to processing status γ information succeeding job (document cited b Corresponding).

Incidentally, when this state is continued,
The continuous collection of data A is prohibited because the state γ information of the succeeding job is being processed, but the collection of other types of data B and C can be performed together.

Further, when the processing of the succeeding job J _A is completed, the state γ information of the succeeding job is released, and the process waits for the next activation (corresponding to document citation).

By the way, the collected data check section 1b
If a line failure occurs during data collection by the data concentrating unit 1a, the line state α information is regarded as a failure and waiting for recovery (corresponding to document citation d), and the data A is restored until the line state α returns to normal. , B and C are prohibited. or,
Even when a specific succeeding job (for example, J _A ) ends in an abnormal state, the status γ information of the succeeding job is determined to be abnormal (corresponding to document quotation E), and the data A remains until the status γ of the subsequent job returns to normal. To prevent the collection of messages.
Incidentally, the data collection unit 1b is a data collection unit 1b.
When leads to trouble in the execution of the concentrator for concentrator file F _A by a, and the data by type of concentrator state β information in abnormal, until another concentrator state β data type is restored successfully, the current on the data A Do not let the trust go.

Although the case where the data A is collected is described here, the case where the other data B and C are collected individually or arbitrarily combined, or all the data A, B and C are simultaneously transmitted. The same operation is performed when collecting data. However, usually concentrator data check unit 1b, all of the data A with the data concentrator unit 1a, B, a plurality of concentrators files as a result of referring to the status report information in the same time the concentrator the C F _A, F _B , F _C
If a failure occurs in the execution of the transfer to a specific file, the function is performed to prohibit the transfer of data to the corresponding type of the transfer file.

According to the operation of the data collecting and trusting system, the collecting for the dedicated collecting files F _A , F _B , and F _C for the data A, B, and C, and the succeeding jobs J _A , J _B. it can be carried out efficiently at maximum tolerance on the fly in response to a result of referring to the status report information to execute the J _C.

[0020]

As described above, according to the data concentrator of the present invention, the data concentrator checks the converged data checker before the data concentrator collects the data of the type in the dedicated concentrator file. Checks whether or not collection is possible for each collection file based on the status confirmation information, and monitors and controls the execution of collection, so there is no need to artificially check the line availability. However, data can be collected efficiently and quickly automatically. As a result, troubles in data collection, such as overwriting the collected data or performing double processing, are avoided.

Further, the concentration data checking unit refers to the status information of the succeeding job and causes a failure in the execution of a specific succeeding job by the data concentration unit, or the line status information or the collection by data type. If the data concentrator fails to execute the consolidation for a specific one of the plurality of consolidation files with reference to the communication status information, the data consolidation for the corresponding type of consolidation file is prohibited. Regardless of whether data is being processed, other data can be efficiently collected together. As a result, it is possible to construct a system that can collect data to a dedicated file for each data and execute each succeeding job simultaneously and efficiently within the maximum allowable range. Can be improved.
