Patterns of EFDs that CMIP services recognizes

If the filter attribute is specified according to the patterns described here and the OSIEVENT=PATTERNS start option is specified, CMIP services recognizes that the manager application program is interested in a particular resource or set of resources. CMIP services recognizes the following patterns:

A filter specifies a certain object class but not a specific resource and the OSIEVENT=PATTERNS start option is specified.
If the object class relates to VTAM® topology, the VTAM topology agent forwards to CMIP services all notifications for all instances of that class. CMIP services then creates an event report and sends it to the manager application program if all criteria in the filter were met.
A filter specifies a certain resource, with or without object class specified and the OSIEVENT=PATTERNS start option is specified.
If the object class relates to VTAM topology, the VTAM topology agent forwards notifications for that instance to CMIP services. CMIP services then creates an event report and sends it to the manager application program if all criteria in the filter were met.
A filter is created locally by some manager application program to collect remote notifications using a filter similar to the one shown:
```
  (item (equality (attributeId 1.3.18.0.0.1746, attributeValue
  (mgr (distinguishedName '1.3.18.0.2.4.6=netid;2.9.3.2.7.4=(n
  ame "cpname");1.3.18.0.0.2175=objectname')))))
```
CMIP services assumes that such filters are not meant to collect topology information, so the presence of this EFD does not cause the topology agent to start generating notifications.
