The information that this record provides is also available from the TCP/IP Callable NMI by invoking this NMI with the GetTnProfile (NWMTNPROFILETYPE) request. The GetTnProfile request always returns complete profile information. For more information about the GetProfile request output, see TCP⁄IP NMI response format. There are some minor differences in the information between this SMF record and the GetTnProfile request output.

Both the SMF record and the GetTnProfile request provide a flag bit indicating whether the community name parameter was specified on the TNSACONFIG profile statement. But, for security reasons, the actual community name value is returned only by the GetTnProfile request.
