REDUCING SIZE OF DIAGNOSTIC DATA DOWNLOADS

摘要

Aspects are related to reducing size of diagnostic data downloads. To reduce the size, format and content are read from a diagnostic data file so that pre-defined priority rules may be applied to the diagnostic data file and/or a subset of the diagnostic data file utilizing the format or the content. Then, a priority level is assigned to the diagnostic data file or the subset based on an ability of that file or that subset to diagnose a failure as determined by the pre-defined priority rules. Next, an ordering of the diagnostic data file and/or the subset into a file stream occurs, followed by a streaming of the file stream to a remote diagnostic system. A notification can be received from the remote diagnostic system to stop the streaming if sufficient diagnostic data to diagnose the failure has been received by the remote diagnostic system.

主权项

1. A method for reducing size of diagnostic data downloads, comprising:
reading at least one of a format and a content of a diagnostic data file; applying pre-defined priority rules to at least one of the diagnostic data file and a subset of the diagnostic data file utilizing the at least one of the format and the content; assigning a priority level to the diagnostic data file or the subset of the diagnostic data file based on an ability of the diagnostic data file or the subset of the diagnostic data file to diagnose a failure as determined by the pre-defined priority rules; ordering at least one of the diagnostic data file and the subset of the diagnostic data file into a file stream; streaming the file stream to a remote diagnostic system; and receiving a notification from the remote diagnostic system to stop the streaming if sufficient diagnostic data to diagnose the failure has been received by the remote diagnostic system.
