DESCRIPTION

17       Provided the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Inter‐
18       face  (PMAPI)  context  is  associated  with a set of archive logs, pm‐
19       LookupInDomArchive will scan the union of all the instance domain meta‐
20       data  for the instance domain indom, locate the first instance with the
21       external identification given by name, and return the internal instance
22       identifier.
23
24       This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI routine
25       pmLookupInDom.
26
27       Only the leading non-space characters of name will be used to  identify
28       the instance.
29
30       The  value  for the instance domain indom is typically extracted from a
31       pmDesc structure, following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for a  particular
32       performance metric.
33
34       pmLookupInDomArchive will return a positive instance identifier on suc‐
35       cess.

DIAGNOSTICS

38       PM_ERR_NOTARCHIVE
39              the current PMAPI context is not associated with a  set  of  ar‐
40              chive logs
41
42       PM_ERR_INDOM_LOG
43              indom is not a defined instance domain identifier for the set of
44              archive logs
45
46       PM_ERR_INST_LOG
47              the external instance name is not known for the instance  domain
48              indom in the set of archive logs
