Definitions
- the invention relates to a recording / reproducing arrangement for data and command protocols in peripheral devices of computer systems according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Peripheral devices of computer systems are connected to the computer system via an interface module.
- the computer system which, for. B. can be a mainframe (host)
- data and commands are transmitted to a control device (controller) of the peripheral device.
- controller control device
- fault or problem messages can occur regarding the controller, the user of the peripheral device and the software used.
- B. can be displayed on a monitor of the peripheral device.
- Such recording of data and commands is referred to as an I / O trace.
- the fault messages to be examined can be, for example, an error within the peripheral device (in the case of the electrophotographic high-performance printer, for example a faulty printout), an incorrect message from the peripheral device to the EDP system, an error message from the EDP system.
- System a "system or print Kerabsturz "act. Since the problems described are generally application-specific and occur in the online state of the peripheral device, in the interest of economical troubleshooting, the error must also be reproducible in the offline state of the peripheral device.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a recording / playback arrangement for data and command protocols in peripheral devices of computer systems, with which the data and command protocols that were transmitted online from the computer system to the peripheral device can be used, can be recorded in a simple manner and independently of the EDP system in such a way that the data can be analyzed and the online situation can be reproduced when the peripheral device is offline.
- This object is achieved by the specified in claim 1
- Data and commands from an EDP system (mainframe) for order processing to a peripheral device, e.g. B. an electrophotographic high-performance printer are transferred to the peripheral device in a storage device.
- This record can e.g. B. via a bidirectional parallel interface of the peripheral device into a microcomputer with internal hard disk memory or into an internal mass storage device of the peripheral device itself.
- This enables independent recording by the EDP system and reproduction of the I / O trace recorded in the online state of the peripheral device in the offline state of the peripheral device. Associated with this is a faster and more economical fault diagnosis of the peripheral devices to be serviced by maintenance and a central service.
- the data and commands required for error diagnosis and re-production can be transmitted to the latter indirectly via transportable floppy disks or directly by means of remote data transmission (eg modem).
- the creation of the documents for error diagnosis is also independent of the operating system used. The reproducibility, which is often dependent on the software level of the customer, no longer poses a problem in the case of many errors. This also results in a considerable saving of time in error diagnosis.
- the recording speed can also be increased in the microcomputer concept.
- the performance gain (higher speed) of the arrangement can also be increased.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a control device (controller) of a peripheral device, which is connected to an EDP system via a peripheral connection and to a microcomputer for recording an I / 0 trace,
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a control device of a peripheral device, which is connected to an EDP system via a peripheral connection and to a mass storage device for recording a 1/0-trace.
- FIGS 1 and 2 each show the basic connection of a peripheral device 1, z. B. an electrophotographic high performance printer to an EDP system 2.
- the EDP system 2 is designed, for example, as a mainframe (host), from which data and commands for processing an order (for example, for a print job in the case of the electrophotographic high-performance printer) are sent to the Central unit 100 are transmitted to control device 10. How these data and commands are transmitted, for example, for the respective print job of the high-performance printer, and how the control device 10 is constructed with the central unit 100 of high-performance printer 1 for processing these print jobs is known to the person skilled in the art as such.
- Figure 1 shows in a first embodiment for this
- PC personal computer
- HSCC high-level serial communications
- Interfaces for data rates of several kilobytes per second are possible.
- the data and commands (I / 0 trace) transferred to the microcomputer 3 are then stored on a hard disk 30 of the microcomputer 3.
- the trace files stored on the hard disk 30 are copied onto floppy disks.
- the recorded trace files can be analyzed at any time on the screen of a personal computer (PC) or printed out using a printer connected to the personal computer.
- PC personal computer
- remote data transmission via a modem connection is also possible.
- the recorded commands and data in the offline state of the peripheral device 1 are transferred from the microcomputer 3 via the parallel bidirectional interface 103 to the control device 10 of the peripheral device 1.
- the malfunction of the peripheral device 1, once recorded on line, can thus be repeated as often as desired on any identically configured peripheral device without the computer system 2.
- memory and register values can also be fetched from the control device 10 of the peripheral device 1 to the microcomputer 3 via the bidirectional, parallel interface 103 and stored or transferred back to the hard disk 30.
- the recording of these values stored in the internal memory areas and register contents of the peripheral device 1 is referred to as a dump.
- the dump function is possible both in the online and in the offline state of the peripheral device 1.
- the resulting files can also be copied onto floppy disks and are therefore transportable.
- the dump function also enables a comfortable "browsing" and editing of the memory of the peripheral device 1 on the screen of the microcomputer 3.
- suitable software can also be used to Microcomputers 3 with functions such as. B. Single Step, Break Points, Start Points, Trace Print, Trace Edit a more targeted analysis can be carried out by the central service or the development.
- FIG. 2 shows in a second exemplary embodiment for the recording how the trace files are recorded in an internal mass memory 104 of the peripheral device 1.
- the mass storage device 104 is connected to the central unit 100 via the bus system 101.
- a mass storage device 104 e.g. B.
- a SCSI hard disk connected directly to the bus system 101 can be used.
- the direct recording of the trace files on a SCSI hard disk would have a higher processing speed compared to the first embodiment in FIG. 2.
