The
following list describes the general format of the response: - The response header, which is defined by the NWMHeader structure,
the request section descriptors (triplets), and the response section
descriptors (quadruplets). Processing is slightly different for the
request types (poll-type and action-type) as described in the following
topics.
- The request sections.
- The response output. See the following topics about the poll-type
and action-type response output for a description.
Guideline: Some of the data in
the response output uses data structures in a variable size. Do not
rely on the documented size of the data structure for accessing data.
You must use the length field of the response output section descriptors
(triplets) to determine the correct size of each response.
Processing poll-type request responsesThe
format of the response output depends on the specific request. - The following requests return one or more response section elements
of the same type.

- The following requests return one or more records. Each record
begins with an NWMRecHeader structure that describes the record. See
the specific request topics for a detailed description of the response
output of each request.
- GetFTPDaemonConfig
- GetGlobalStats
- GetIfs
- GetIfStatsExtended
- GetProfile
- GetRnics
- GetSmcLinks
- GetTNProfile
The response output is described by the response section
quadruplet in the NWMHeader structure. The quadruplet consists of
the following fields: - The offset, in bytes, of the first response section element or
record. This offset is relative to the beginning of the response buffer.
- The number of elements in the response section or the number of
records that are returned.
- The length of a response section element for requests that return
one or more response section elements of the same type. For requests
that return one or more records, the value of this field is 0. The
NWMRecHeader structure for each returned record contains the actual
length of each record.
- The total number of elements that passed the requested filter
checks.
The response header contains the number of bytes required
to contain all the requested data. When the return code is ENOBUFS,
use this value to allocate a larger request/response buffer and reissue
the request.
GetFTPDaemonConfig response
formatFor the GetFTPDaemonConfig request, the output is
returned as one record. The response section quadruplet contains
the following values: - The offset, which is in the response buffer, of the output record.
- The length of each element. It is always 0.
- The number of elements that are returned is always 1, which indicates
that only one record was returned.
- The number of elements that matched the filters is always 1, which
indicates that one record was matched.
The output record consists of the following fields: - Record header
- The record header is mapped by the NWMRecHdr structure and consists
of the following fields:
- An EBCDIC identifier.
- The total length of the record.
- The number, which is always 3, of section descriptors that are
included in this record. The section descriptors are mapped by the
NWMTriple structure.
- Section descriptor triplets
- The following three section descriptors that describe the returned
information for each section type are always included. For each section
type, only one section is included.
- FTP daemon identification section
- FTP daemon general configuration section
- FTP daemon configuration data section
The sections of data that this request provides
are identical to the corresponding sections in the SMF 119 subtype
71 record. See FTP daemon configuration record (subtype 71) for the layout
of these sections: - FTP daemon identification section - SMF119FT_FD
- This section provides information that identifies which FTP daemon
this record is collected for.
- FTP daemon general configuration section - SMF119FT_FDCF
- This section provides configuration information for the statements
whose value has a fixed length.
- FTP daemon configuration data section - SMF119FT_FDCD
- This section provides configuration information for the statements
whose value has a variable length. This section is a set of entries
with a variable length for each statement. Each entry contains the
following fields:
- Total length of the entry.
- Key of the entry. This value identifies the statement that the
entry represents.
- Value that is specified for the statement.
In this section, only statements that are explicitly specified
or have default values are provided. You can use the SMF119FT_FDCD_Key
value of each configuration data entry in this section to determine
which statements are contained.
GetGlobalStats response formatFor the GetGlobalStats request, the output is returned as one
record. The response section quadruplet contains the following values: - The offset, which is in the response buffer, of the output record.
- The length of each element. It is always 0.

to indicate that only one record was returned.
- The total number of matching elements. It is set to 1 because
filters are not supported.
The output record consists of the following fields: - Record header. The record header is mapped by the NWMRecHdr structure
and consists of the following fields:

- The number of section descriptors (mapped by the NWMTriple structure)
that are present in this record
- Section descriptor triplets for each set of statistic counters.
The returned statistic counters are similar to the counters in the
output of the Netstat STATS/-S report. See Netstat STATS/-S report in z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's
Commands for a description of each field. The following
section descriptors that describe the returned information for each

The section descriptor triplets are mapped by the NWMTriple structure.
The section descriptors (triplets) immediately follow the record
header, and the sections immediately follow the section descriptors.
If there is no profile information for a section, the section descriptor
triplet fields for that section all contain 0.
The section structures
in the GetProfile response are identical to the section structures
in the TCP/IP profile SMF 119 subtype 4 event records. If you already
have an application that processes the SMF record section structures,
you can also use it for processing the GetProfile response section
structures. See TCP/IP profile event record (subtype 4) for a
layout of this SMF record.
In the GetProfile response, the
Profile Information Common and Data Set Name sections primarily contain
information about the initial profile, not about the last change to
the profile; however, the following fields contain the date and time
of the last change to the profile: - NMTP_PICOChangeTime
- NMTP_PICOChangeDate

related to the individual link.
GetTnProfile response
formatFor the GetTnProfile request, the output is returned
as one record. The response section quadruplet contains the following
values:

in this record. Management section descriptors are always returned.
The NWMTriple structure maps the section descriptors.
The section descriptors immediately follow the record
header, and the sections immediately follow the section descriptors.
If no profile information for a section is available, the section
descriptor fields for that section are all 0.
The section structures
in the GetTnProfile response are identical to the section structures
in the TN3270E Telnet server profile SMF 119 subtype 24 event records.
If you have an application that processes the SMF record section structures,
you can use it to process the GetTnProfile response section structures.
See TN3270E Telnet server profile event record (subtype 24) for a layout
of this SMF record.
In the GetTnProfile response, the Profile
Information and Data Set Name sections contain information about the
last profile. The following fields contain the date and time when
the last profile was activated: - SMF119TN_PIProfStck
- SMF119TN_PIProfTime
- SMF119TN_PIProfDate
If the NWMTnGrpDtl flag is set, multiple entries for a
group are generated. If the flag is not set, only the first entry
of each group is available.
Processing action-type request responsesProcessing the response for the DropConnection action-type request
is described in this section.
For this type of request, the
quadruplet contains the offset and number of elements, which is the
same as the offset and number of elements in the triplet (output is
the same as the input). If the call to EZBNMIFR returns a nonnegative
return value, and the value for NWMQMatch returned in the quadruplet
section is equal to the number of entries input, NWMQNumber, then
all of the connections or endpoints were dropped successfully. If
the call to EZBNMIFR returns a nonnegative return value, and if NWMQMatch
is less than NWMQNumber, then not all of the connections or endpoints
were successfully dropped. In this case, the program should examine
the return code that is set in each NWMDropConnEntry field. If the
value of the return code is nonzero, then this connection was not
dropped; if the value of the return code is 0, then the connection
was dropped.
The following describes the codes: Table 2. Return code valuesNWMDropConnRC |

Guideline: Input to the
DropConnection request will most likely be from the output result
of a GetUDPTable or GetConnectionDetail request where the filtered
connection information might return connections that are not intended
for termination. Applications that support the DropConnection request
should be coded to ensure that the connections input for termination
have been examined carefully by programming logic that selects connections
that meet a specific criteria, such as state.
ExampleOne NWMDropConnEntry is submitted:
Resource ID =003A, Local IP Address=9.0.0.1, Local Port=5003,
Remote IP Address=9.0.0.5, Remote Port=3000, Protocol=TCP
The following TCP connections exist: - Resource Name = FTP1, Resource ID = 001A, Local IP Address =
9.0.0.2, Local Port = 5000,Remote IP Address = 9.0.0.5, Remote Port
= 3001
- Resource Name = FTP2, Resource ID = 002A, Local IP Address =
9.0.0.1, Local Port = 5001,Remote IP Address = 9.0.0.5, Remote Port
= 3002
- Resource Name = USR1, Resource ID = 004F, Local IP Address = 9.0.0.1,
Local Port = 5002,Remote IP Address = 9.0.0.5, Remote Port = 3003
- Resource Name = USR7, Resource ID = 003A, Local IP Address = 9.0.0.1,
Local Port = 5003, Remote IP Address = 9.0.0.5, Remote Port = 3000
When a DropConnection request is made, connection 4 is
dropped because it matches the five required items.
