Switching requests

When a collection is started using a Start Performance Data Collection CNM RU, enablement indicators determine whether data should be delivered automatically for SMF intervals or non-inactivation events. A monitor can also dynamically enable or disable automatic data delivery during a collection without modifying the monitor's current set of collections. This is known as a switching request.

A switching request is performed by issuing a Start Performance Data Collection CNM RU with a switching indicator specified. The enablement indicators along with their corresponding switching indicators determine whether non-inactivation event notification or SMF data delivery will be enabled or disabled for the collections specified on the request. If the enablement indicator is specified on the request, non-inactivation event notification or SMF data delivery will be enabled. Otherwise, non-inactivation event notification or SMF data delivery will be disabled. If both switching indicators are on, both switching functions are performed for the same request.
