Rules :
1.
Specifying both sp and rn is not allowed because it would always result in no instances being
found.
2. Thetype parameter acts to filter the responses based on how the data was provisioned. For instance,
ifblock is specified, only DN blocks (that were provisioned as blocks) are returned. Ifsingle is
specified, only DNs that were provisioned as single DNs are returned.
Note:
If a substantial number of records are requested, there is a significant delay before responses start
coming back.
3.
Specifying a combination of 2 Network Entity types (sp, rn, vms, grn) other than sp and rn is
allowed and will result in instances matching both associations. Only specifying 1 NE will return
all instances associated with the NE, even if instances are associated with other NEs.
There is no association between the position of a DN in the database and the chronological order in
which it is provisioned. Thus, the response to the retrieve command gives no indication of which DNs
were provisioned first and which were provisioned last. It simply returns all DNs associated with an
IMSI. Likewise, the provisioning order of DNs have no effect on where DNs are physically placed in
the database.
The instance count values are given as optional because they are not returned for every procedure
call. For instance, IMSIs are not returned for commands related to retrieval of DNs.
Request syntax :
Rtrv_sub([iid XXXXX,] bdn XXXXX, edn XXXXX, [type <block/single>,] [pt
<none/0/1/2/3/4/….35>] [st <0/1>,] [nsdn XXXXX,] [sp XXXXX,] [rn XXXXX,] [vms XXXXX,]
[grn XXXXX,] [asd XXXXX,][cgbl <no/yes>,] [cdbl <no/yes>,] [split <no/yes>,] [data

Retrieve Subscription Information About a Specific IMSI
This command retrieves the subscription information for a specific IMSI. If the IMSI is associated with
DNs, they are returned as well.
Parameters :
The specific IMSI to retrieve.
imsi
5 to 15 hexadecimal digits expressed using ASCII characters.
Values:
(Optional) Lets the requester specify the type of output data to be returned. See Retrieve
Subscription Data Responses for additional information.
data
all – Return all known data for each instance (i.e., list the DNs on each
IMSI) (default).
Values:
neonly – Return only the Network Element information for each
instance.
