Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM), a list of the target system
tape and disk locations, file fingerprints for files managed by DSM/SCM, and
DSM/SCM target information. The snapshot is compiled on the target system from the
target database and sent to the host system to store in the host database. An
instruction to create a snapshot is part of every activation package sent from the host
and can also be requested independently through the Target Interface. (3) In Visual
Inspect, a disk file created by the Save Snapshot command or by DMON if the
SAVEABEND attribute for a process is ON and the process abends. A snapshot is an

Inspect and Inspect can be used to debug snapshots, but the Inspect product refers to
a snapshot as a save file.
