snapshot. (1) A file that can be created by OSM and TSM client software to record
information about the status of an HP NonStop™ S-series server, including the

forwarded to your service provider to help with troubleshooting problems. (2) For
Distributed Systems 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
