Introduction
Overview of the Desktop Management Interface
The relationships among management applications, the DMI SP and
component instrumentation may be many-to-one. There may be many
management applications issuing commands through a single DMI SP
to manage many components.
Within DMI, information about all components is defined in a language
called the Management Interface Format (MIF) and stored by the DMI
SP in a MIF database. Each component has a unique MIF file which
describes its manageable characteristics. Each component's MIF file is
registered in a MIF database, and owned by the DMI SP. For more
information on MIF files, see Writing Component MIF Files in the
Component section of this Developer's Guide.
