Action request

A snapshot action request is used to request LU-related resource data. The action is sent as an m-Action-Confirmed operation.

The snapshot request for logicalUnitIndex object can specify whether or not a network search is requested for the target name, in addition to looking for matching resources in the VTAM topology agent host node. The search information is specified in the snapshot request through values of a managementExtension with the luSearchParm parameter where information is set to 0 for no-search or 1 for search. Without the managementExtension search parameter, the default is not to perform a network search.

The target resource logicalUnitIndexName can be network qualified, such as NETA.APPL1.

The following example shows a request with the target name NETA.APPL1, with "no-search" explicitly specified by the 0 value for information in the luSearchParm managementExtension.

The following special identifiers are used in the request:

1.3.18.0.0.2291: logicalUnitIndex
1.3.18.0.0.2294: logicalUnitIndexName
1.3.18.0.0.2222: snapshot
1.3.18.0.0.5946: luSearchParm
