Description

A CROSS_INVAL request allows you to invalidate the copies of the data item in the local cache buffers of other users with registered interest in the data item. A cross-invalidate operation:

Deregisters user interest. With the exception of your connection, all users with registered interest in the data item have their interest deregistered.
Invalidates local copies of the data item. With the exception of the copy in your local cache buffer, all users' copies of the data item are invalidated.

The data items against which a cross-invalidate operation is performed are identified by NAME and NAMEMASK.

If the request exceeds the model-dependent time-out criteria before processing completes, either a restart token (RESTOKEN) or an extended restart token (EXTRESTOKEN) is returned in the answer area. The token can be specified on the next CROSS_INVAL request to resume processing with the next data item to be processed. Resumed requests are processed identically whether using the RESTOKEN or EXTRESTOKEN to specify the starting location.
