• Receive status information from the SNAplus2 node when
SNAplus2 returns the following status indications:
— The FP_NOTIFICATION indication provides information
about the focal point for a particular MS category. SNAplus2
returns this indication to an MDS-level application that has
registered to receive focal point information.
— The MS_STATUS indication informs the application of
changes in the status of the SNAplus2 system (when the
application's communications path to its connected node has
been lost, or when the SNAplus2 software has stopped).
SNAplus2 returns this indication to both MDS-level and
NMVT-level applications.
• Receive data from the SNAplus2 node when SNAplus2 returns
the following received data indications:
— The MDS_MU_RECEIVED data indication returns an
MDS_MU to an MDS-level application. The returned
MDS_MU is one of the following:
— The MDS_MU sent by a remote application if the MS
application registered using
REGISTER_MS_APPLICATION verb
— An MDS_MU converted from an incoming NMVT if the
MS application registered using the
REGISTER_NMVT_APPLICATION verb
— The NMVT_RECEIVED data indication returns an NMVT to
an NMVT-level application that has registered to receive
NMVTs.
4. When the application completes, it must end its registration with
SNAplus2 by issuing one of the following verbs:
• The UNREGISTER_MS_APPLICATION verb ends the
application's registration with SNAplus2. After the application
issues this call, SNAplus2 no longer sends MDS_MUs to the
application.
• The UNREGISTER_NMVT_APPLICATION verb ends the
application's registration with SNAplus2 so that it no longer
accepts NMVTs with a particular MS major vector key.
