5421.0. "set to create new row in SNMP?" by HGSW67::CHARLESKWAN () Tue Aug 03 1993 00:04

    Hi, there,
    
    A customer asks us the following questions:
    
    How to add a row to a table with the set-request in the iconic map of
    DECmcc via the SNMP access module?
    
    The customer said that in the SNMP Newsletter "The Simple Time"
    May/June release it mentioned that "we simply set the variables of the
    row and it should be created."
    
    However, in DECmcc, a user can only set the variables of an existing row
    in the SNMP access module. Since a new row doesn't exist before a user
    creates it, it seems there is no way in DECmcc iconic map to set the
    variables in order to create a new row.
    
    Am I missing something?
    
    Thanks and regards,
    Charles.

	Many agents will allow you to set objects in an existing table row
	in order to create a new row. Say you have a row with index value 1.
	When you set the value to 2, the agent will create a new row with
	index 2, and preserve the old row. Next time you do a show operation,
	you will see both the rows. 

	However, some agents work differently and instead of creating a new
	row, will change the index of the current row from 1 to 2. In such cases,
	you cannot use the iconic map to create a new row entry. You can do 
	the operation through FCL. What you really need is a CREATE directive,
	which you can use through the iconic map. I have the create directive
	implemented, but currently it is not available through V1.3.

5421.2Any plan?HGSW67::CHARLESKWANWed Aug 04 1993 23:097
    Hi, Rahul.
    
    Thanks for the reply. But is there engineering plan to incorporate that
    feature in future releases?
