TSS_RESULT Tspi_TPM_CreateMaintenanceArchive(TSS_HTPM hTPM,                 TSS_BOOL fGenerateRndNumber,
                                             UINT32*  pulRndNumberLength,   BYTE**   prgbRndNumber,
                                             UINT32*  pulArchiveDataLength, BYTE**   prgbArchiveData);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**Tspi\_TPM\_CreateMaintenanceArchive**  creates the TPM Manufacturer specific maintenance archive data. **This command is not currently implemented by any manufacturer**.

## PARAMETERS

### hTPM

The *hTPM* parameter is used to specify the handle of the TPM object.

### fGenerateRndNumber

The *fGenerateRndNumber* parameter determines how the random number is generated. If TRUE, a random number is generated by the TPM and returned. If FALSE, a random number is calculated based on the owner secret.

### pulRndNumberLength

The *pulRndNumberLength* parameter receives the length in bytes of the *prgbRndNumber* parameter. This is 0 if *fGenerateRndNumber* is FALSE.

### prgbRndNumber

The *prgbRndNumber* parameter receives a pointer to the random number data attributes. This is NULL if *fGenerateRndNumber* is FALSE.

### pulArchiveDataLength

The *pulArchiveDataLength* parameter receives the length in bytes of the *prgbArchiveData* parameter.

### prgbArchiveData

The *prgbArchiveData* parameter receives a pointer to the archive data.

## RETURN CODES

**Tspi\_TPM\_CreateMaintenanceArchive** returns TSS\_SUCCESS on success, otherwise one of the following values is returned:

- TSS\_E\_INVALID\_HANDLE

  *hTPM* is not a valid handle.

- TSS\_E\_INTERNAL\_ERROR

  An internal SW error has been detected.

- TSS\_E\_BAD\_PARAMETER

  One or more parameters is bad.

- TSS\_E\_NOTIMPL

  The function is not implemented.

## CONFORMING TO

**Tspi\_TPM\_CreateMaintenanceArchive** conforms to the Trusted Computing Group Software Specification version 1.1 Golden
