 ==== `ism_get_snap [-t <days>] [-m part|full] [-c]`
-Creates and downloads an ISM snap file (ZIP format) that can be used for support issues. You can specify the period in _days_ of log files that should be retrieved by parameter `-t`. If no time spec is given then default value _SNAPDAYS_ defined in <<Configfile>> is used. Using `-m` option allows to define whether to generate a full or a partial snap. Default _SNAPMODE_ is defined in <<Configfile>>. With option `-c` the snap file is copied afterwards to Fujitsu\'s SFTP server to directory `/incoming`.
