Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress a useless output of information by employing a storage device storing kinds and number of times of abnormality to be detected, by and means comparing the detected abnormality with the fault detected and stored previously to evade the repetitive output of information as to the same abnormality. CONSTITUTION:Errors and their detected number of times stored in a storage device of the titled unit are set initially at the start of diagnosing and the stored abnormality is compared with the detected abnormality at each detection of abnormality during the diagnosing, and when the both are different, the error information relating to the abnormality detected newly is outputted and the said information is stored in the storage device and when the both is equal, the abnormal information is not outputted but only the number of times of occurrence is integrated, and after the end of diagnosing, kinds and integrated number of times of the abnormality detected are all outputted as the abnormal information. When a abnormality is detected in such a way, it is outputted as the abnormal information at one only and the repetitive output of he same abnormal information is suppressed, then the load of the unit maintenance personnel is relived.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a test diagnosis method for a data processing device, and more particularly to a method for outputting abnormality information when detecting an abnormal event in a data processing device.

(Prior art) Conventionally, the abnormality information output method of this type of data processing device is as follows:
The test diagnosis program is composed of a plurality of test diagnosis items, and when the test is executed, information regarding the abnormal event is output each time an abnormal event is detected.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional abnormality information output method described above, when testing multiple items of the test diagnostic program, all of the detected abnormal ilX events are output as abnormality information even if they are the same as those already detected and have already been output as abnormality information. This method has to be output each time, and has the disadvantage that the same abnormality information is output repeatedly, which increases the burden on the data processing device maintenance personnel who analyze the abnormality information.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The abnormality information output method of the data processing device of the present invention initially sets abnormal events stored in the storage device of the device and the number of times they have been detected at the start of diagnosis. Each time an event is detected, it is compared with the abnormal event already stored, and if the two are different, it is a newly detected abnormality! ■ Output abnormality information regarding the event and store this information in the storage device, and when both are equal, do not output the abnormality information and only add up the number of times, and after the diagnosis is completed, all abnormal events detected during the diagnosis This method outputs the type of error and the number of times it has been accumulated as abnormality information.

In this manner, when an abnormal event is detected, the abnormality information is output only once, and repeated output of the same abnormality information is suppressed, thereby reducing the burden on the equipment maintenance personnel.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of an abnormality information output method of a data processing apparatus according to the present invention.

This embodiment uses a storage device that stores the type and number of abnormal events detected during diagnosis, and means that compares each detection with previously detected and stored abnormal events, and outputs abnormal information. Each type is output only once at the beginning, and after the diagnosis is completed, each abnormality information and the number of abnormalities are output.Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, when the test diagnosis program is started according to an instruction from the operator, the type of information regarding abnormal events stored in the storage device and the number of times of detection thereof are initialized (step 1).
). Next, a test diagnosis of the data processing device is performed according to the program (step 2), and the presence or absence of an abnormality is checked by this test diagnosis (step 3). When an abnormal event is detected, the detected abnormal event is compared to see if it is the same as the abnormal events that have been detected and stored in the storage device (step 4), and if the abnormal event is different, a new abnormal event is detected. Step 5) to notify the operator that an event has been detected;
Information regarding the abnormal event is stored in the storage device (Step 6), and if it is determined that the abnormal event is the same as an already detected abnormal event, the number of detections of the abnormal information stored in the storage device is updated (Step 7). ). However, the operator is not notified of the abnormal event detection. In any of the above cases, and if there is no abnormality in step 3, then it is determined whether all the test diagnostic programs instructed by the operator have been completed (step 8), and if they have not been completed, the process is repeated in step 2. Return the flow of processing to If the program has been completed, the operator is notified of all the information regarding the abnormal event stored in the storage device and the number of times it has been detected (step 9), and the program is ended.

In this way, when the test diagnostic program is executed, no matter how many times the same abnormal event is detected, the operator will be notified of the information output at the time of the first detection and the execution of the test diagnostic program. Only the information that will be output when all the steps are completed will be output.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a storage device that stores the type and number of abnormal events detected during diagnosis, and a storage device that stores the types and number of abnormal events detected before each detection when executing a test diagnosis program for a data processing device. The same anomaly! 1 (By not repeatedly outputting information related to elephants, it is possible to suppress the output of useless information, and it is also possible to reduce the burden on the data processing equipment maintenance personnel who analyze this information.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] In a test diagnosis method for a data processing device, an abnormal event stored in a storage device of the device and the number of times of its detection are initially set at the start of diagnosis, and each time an abnormal event is detected during diagnosis, the abnormal event is stored. When the two are different, the abnormality information related to the newly detected abnormal event is output and stored in the storage device, and when the two are equal, the abnormal information is not output and the number of times is accumulated. An abnormality information output method for data processing equipment that outputs all types of abnormal events detected during diagnosis and their cumulative number of occurrences as abnormality information after the diagnosis is completed.
