Management Collection Object APIs

The management collection object APIs support working with management collection objects (attribute *PFR). These APIs:

• Retrieve the active management collection object name
• Retrieve the attributes of a management collection object
• Open and close a management collection object
• Open and close a repository of a management collection object
• Read data from a repository of a management collection object

The management collection object APIs are:

• Close Management Collection Object (QpmCloseMgtcol) closes a management collection object.
• Close Management Collection Object Repository (QpmCloseMgtcolRepo) closes a repository of a management collection object.
• Open Management Collection Object (QpmOpenMgtcol) opens a specified management collection object for processing.
• Open Management Collection Object Repository (QpmOpenMgtcolRepo) opens a specified repository of a management collection object for processing.
• Read Management Collection Object Data (QpmReadMgtcolData) positions to a specific record in a repository of a management collection object, returns information about the record, and optionally reads specified bytes of data from the record.
• Retrieve Active Management Collection Object Name (QpmRtvActiveMgtcolName) returns the object name and library name of an active management collection object.
• Retrieve Management Collection Object Attributes (QpmRtvMgtcolAttrs) returns information about attributes of a management collection object and repositories of a management collection object.
