The query_conversation command returns information about conversations using a particular local LU. This command can be used to obtain information about a specific conversation or a range of conversations, depending on the options used.

This command must be issued to a running node.

Supplied Parameters

Parameter name         Type         Length      Default
[query_conversation]
num_entries decimal 1
list_options constant SUMMARY+LIST_INCLUSIVE
conv_id hex number 4 0x00
lu_name character 8 (null string)
lu_alias character 8 (null string)
session_id hex array 8 (null array)

Supplied parameters are:

num_entries

Maximum number of sessions for which data should be returned. You can specify 1 to return data for a specific conversation, a number greater than 1 to return data for multiple conversations, or 0 to return data for all conversations.

list_options

The position in the list of conversations from which SNAplus2 begins to return data. Specify one of the following values:

FIRST_IN_LIST

Start at the first entry in the list.

LIST_INCLUSIVE

Start at the entry specified by the combination of local LU, partner LU, and conversation ID.

LIST_FROM_NEXT

Start at the entry immediately following the entry specified by the combination of local LU, partner LU, and conversation ID.

conv_id

The identifier of the conversation for which information is required, or the conversation ID to be used as an index into the list of conversations. This parameter is ignored if list_options is set to FIRST_IN_LIST.

lu_name

LU name of the local LU. This name is a type-A character string. To indicate that the LU is identified by its LU alias instead of its LU name, do not specify this parameter. To specify the LU associated with the local CP (the default LU), do not specify either lu_name or lu_alias.

lu_alias

Locally defined LU alias. This parameter is used only if lu_name is not specified. To specify the LU associated with the local CP (the default LU), do not specify either lu_name or lu_alias.

session_id

8-byte session identifier. To list only information about conversations associated with a specific session, specify the session identifier. To obtain a complete list for all sessions, do not specify this parameter.

Returned Parameters

Parameter name         Type            Length
conv_id hex number 4
local_tp_name character 64
partner_tp_name character 64
tp_id hex array 8
sess_id hex array 8
conv_start_time decimal
bytes_sent decimal
bytes_received decimal
conv_state constant

If the command executes successfully, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:

conv_id

Conversation identifier. The conversation ID was returned by the ALLOCATE verb in the invoking TP, or by the RECEIVE_ALLOCATE verb in the invoked TP.

local_tp_name

The name of the local TP in the conversation.

partner_tp_name

The name of the partner TP in the conversation. This parameter is returned only if the conversation was started by the local TP; it is reserved if the conversation was started by the remote TP.

tp_id

The TP identifier of the conversation.

sess_id

The session identifier of the session allocated to the conversation.

conv_start_time

The elapsed time in hundreths of seconds between the time when the SNAplus2 node was started and the time when the conversation was started.

bytes_sent

The number of bytes that have been sent from the local TP to the partner TP since the start of the conversation.

bytes_received

The number of bytes that have been received from the partner TP by the local TP since the start of the conversation.

conv_state

The current state of the conversation. Values are:

  • CONFIRM

  • CONFIRM_DEALL

  • CONFIRM_SEND

  • END_CONV

  • PEND_DEALL

  • PEND_POST

  • POST_ON_RECEIPT

  • RECEIVE

  • RESET

  • SENT

  • SEND_PENDING

Error Return Codes

If the command cannot be executed, SNAplus2 returns a primary return code to indicate the type of error and a secondary return code to provide specific details about the reason for unsuccessful execution.

Parameter Check

If the command does not execute because of a parameter error, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:

primary_rc

PARAMETER_CHECK

secondary_rc

Possible values are:

AD_CONV_ID

The list_options parameter was set to LIST_INCLUSIVE to list all entries starting from the supplied conversation ID, but the conv_id parameter value was not valid.

INVALID_LU_ALIAS

The lu_alias parameter value was not valid.

INVALID_LU_NAME

The lu_name parameter value was not valid.

State Check

No specific state errors, other than those listed in Appendix A “Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands” occur for this command.

Other Conditions

Appendix A “Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands” lists combinations of primary and secondary return codes that are common to all commands.
