Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively process the maintenance data by reserving the executing date of maintenance to a memory means and retrieving presence or absence of data together with compression, conversion, etc., only after a system power supply is applied for the reserved date. CONSTITUTION:When a power supply is applied, a service processor 1 carried out the initialization of a data processing system. In this case, a date is read out of a timepiece circuit 25 and then the executing date of maintenance out of a memory circuit 27 to perform comparison between both dates. When the coincidence is obtained between both dates, the compiling processes are carried out for retrieval, compression, conversion, etc. of the maintenance data stored in an external memory device 4. Then the maintenance data is stored again in the device 4. While no compiling process is carried out if no coincidence is obtained between both dates. When a remote maintenance job is indicated from a remote maintenance processor 6 via a transmission/reception circuit 28, the processor 1 reads the compiled maintenance data out of the device 4 and sends it to the processor 6 via a communication circuit 5.
