time by just performing a Rediscover for the object you are concerned with at the time (and
individual group or ServerNet adapter, for example).
Refresh refers to OSM updating the attribute values displayed in the OSM Service Connection
interface. Reanalyze refers to the running of OSM incident analysis, which checks EMS event
messages and creates alarms in OSM if certain conditions exist.
Snapshot Functionality
Snapshots preserve a view of your system at a point in time for use in diagnosing problems later
or remotely. You can save snapshots from the OSM Service Connection client without having to
change a configuration file setting (as was the case in TSM).
Saving Snapshots
Snapshots are created and saved manually from within the OSM Service Connection. Select Save
Snapshot from the OSM Tools menu.
The suggested (default) name includes the system name and the date and time that the snapshot
was created. The default location is ZSUPPORT>OSM>snapshots on your PC’s local disk.
Loading Snapshots
Snapshot files can be transferred to and loaded on any workstation capable of establishing an
OSM Service Connection session. From the workstation containing the snapshot file:
1. Start a new Internet Explorer browser session.
2. In the address bar, enter the URL of any valid OSM service connection (it does not have to
be the same system as the snapshot file you want to load), followed by snapshot/index.html.
