Management Services Verbs
TRANSFER_MS_DATA
Chapter 380
TRANSFER_MS_DATA
This verb is used by:
• NMVT-level applications to respond to previously received NMVT
requests and to send unsolicited NMVTs
• NMVT-level and MDS-level applications to send unsolicited NMVTs
(such as alert information)
The application can supply a complete NMVT to be sent, or it can supply
some of the required subvectors and request SNAplus2 to add header
information or additional subvectors. For more information about the
format of NMVTs, including the format of the headers and subvectors
that SNAplus2 adds, refer to IBM Systems Network Architecture:
Formats.
This verb was provided as part of the Common Service Verbs (CSV) API
in versions of SNAplus2 before Release 5, but it is now provided as part
of the MS API. If you have written applications for previous SNAplus2
versions that use this verb, you will need to re-link them with the MS
library to use them with Release 5 or later.
