UnPackNALPath Method in Class SMS_NAL_Methods

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

The UnPackNALPath method, in Configuration Manager, decodes a network abstraction layer (NAL) path into its components.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and is intended to show the definition of the method.

SInt32 UnPackNALPath(
     String NALPath,
     String DisplayQualifiers[],
     String NALType, 
     String NetworkOSPath, 
     String NetworkConnectionQualifiers[]
);

Parameters

• NALPath
  Data type: String

  Qualifiers: [in]

  NAL path to be decoded.

• DisplayQualifiers
  Data type: String Array

  Qualifiers: [out]

  Qualifiers used by the Configuration Manager console. See the DisplayQualifiers property of PackNALPath Method in Class SMS_NAL_Methods.

• NALType
  Data type: String

  Qualifiers: [out]

  The NAL type specified by the network operating system. See the NALType property of PackNALPath Method in Class SMS_NAL_Methods.

• NetworkOSPath
  Data type: String

  Qualifiers: [out]

  Network operating system path. See the NetworkOSPath property of PackNALPath Method in Class SMS_NAL_Methods.

• NetworkConnectionQualifiers
  Data type: String Array

  Qualifiers: [out]

  Configuration Manager component-specific qualifiers. See the NetworkConnectionQualifiers property of PackNALPath Method in Class SMS_NAL_Methods.

Return Values

An SInt32 data type.

Example Code

The following example decodes a NAL path.

    Dim clsNALMethods As SWbemObject
    Dim NALPath As String
    Dim DisplayQuals() As Variant
    Dim NALType As String
    Dim NOSPath As String
    Dim NOSQuals() As Variant
    Dim instResources As SWbemObjectSet
    Dim instResource As SWbemObject
    Dim Query As String

    Set clsNALMethods = Services.Get("SMS_NAL_Methods")

    Query = "SELECT * FROM SMS_SystemResourceList " & _
            "WHERE RoleName=""SMS Distribution Point"" AND SiteCode=""<site code>"""
    Set instResources = Services.ExecQuery(Query, , wbemFlagForwardOnly Or wbemFlagReturnImmediately)

    For Each instResource In instResources
        NALPath = instResource.NALPath

        clsNALMethods.UnPackNALPath NALPath, DisplayQuals, NALType, NOSPath, NOSQuals
        MsgBox "Path = " & NALPath & vbCrLf & _
               "Display = " & DisplayQuals(0) & vbCrLf & _
               "Type = " & NALType & vbCrLf & _
               "NOSPath = " & NOSPath & vbCrLf & _
               "NOSQual = " & NOSQuals(0)
