Command responses to OM

When an IMS™ type-2 command or IMS type-1 command is issued from the Operations Manager (OM) API, OM routes it (through the Structured Call Interface (SCI)) to one or more IMS systems based on the command routing. Each IMS returns the command response to OM. The command responses from each IMS are grouped together by OM and returned to the caller.

For each IMS command that is issued from OM API, the response is encapsulated in XML tags.

The type-2 command responses to OM also include a return code, reason code, and a possible completion code. The return or reason code returned for the command might also indicate an error from a Common Service Layer (CSL) request.

When the following type-1 commands are issued from OM API, the DFS058I COMMAND IN PROGRESS message is not returned. Instead, the messages that result as a part of command processing are returned to OM. Following is the list of commands that do not return the DFS058I COMMAND IN PROGRESS message:
