3.1.5 Message Processing Events and Sequencing Rules

  1. When the CER server receives an error report level 1 data message, it MUST respond with a level 1 server response reply.

  2. When the CER client receives a level 1 server response and if the response message requests additional data (that is, iData is set to 1), and if there is additional data to upload, the following must take place:

    1. CER client MUST collect as much of the requested data as possible; for example, if a file is requested in the GetFile section of level 1 server response that is not present on the system, then the file cannot be included but the error report MUST still be made. The method of data collection is implementation-specific.<2>

      Note There is no requirement that two clients use the same method or format of error information.

    2. The CER client MUST compress the complete report information into a single file by using any implementation-specific file compression.<3>

      Note There is no requirement that two clients use the same file compression scheme.
