Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and method for improving platform dump collection. The method includes upon receiving a platform dump request for a system, accessing a model of the system hardware and a list of commands for the dump. The method further includes determining whether a constraint exists for the command in the list, identifying which software and hardware locks are required by the constraints, determining whether a hardware and software lock is required by multiple constraints, generating a grouping of the constraints requiring the hardware and software lock, and generating an executable list of commands.
