Introduction Terminology Row A row of data describes an instance of data in a group. Scalar group rows refer to all the attributes in the associated group. Table group rows refer to a particular set of all columns (Index attribute, Name attribute, Position attribute). For example, row 1 identifies the set of (1,"Frank","Electrical Engineer"). Index ===== 1 2 Name ===== Frank Howard Position Electrical Engineer Electrical Engineer Intern Scalar Group This is a group that has one set of values for the described attributes. The lack of the MIF keyword key implies the group is scalar. Service Provider (SP) This is the HP-UX daemon that receives RPC calls from management applications and manages the MIF information found in its MIF database. This daemon also provides an interface to direct interface and overlay components by starting them and calling them when it receives attribute requests from management applications. Table Group This is a multidimensional group. It has more than one instance of the attributes described. This type of a group is implied when the MIF keyword key is used. This type of group is typically implemented as an array or other kind of multiple value structure (list, tree etc.). See Row, above. 16 Chapter 1
