Sm_AgentApi_UpdateAttributes()

Call this function to update response attributes when the time-to-live (TTL) value has expired. When specifying request attributes, each attribute structure should be zero-initialized, then set the lpszAttributeOid fields in the Sm_AgentApi_Attribute_t structure. Use the same field to map the response attributes to requested attributes. Not all attributes may be updated.

This function will recalculate an active response that originally held no data. An active response attribute is considered valid if its return value has a non-zero length or its TTL value is set.

I/O

Description

pHandle

I

Agent API session handle returned in parameter ppHandle of Sm_AgentApi_Init().

lpszClientIpAddr
