Description: The status of this row, by which new entries may be created, or old entries deleted from this table. Once created, the row may be deleted, but other objects in the row may not be modified. A row (and corresponding rows in the getSubtreeRootTable) will be deleted automatically by the agent once the operation has completed. A row may be created using an instance value for getSubtreeRootOperationID even if no entries exist in getSubtreeRootTable indexed by that value.

Creating a row will cause the subtree retrieval operation to commence if there are entries in the getSubtreeRootTable indexed by the same value of getSubtreeRootOperationID as this row. If the agent allows aborting operations in progress, deleting a row will cause the operation to halt. If the operation is successfully aborted, the rows in the getSubtreeRootTable corresponding to this request will also be automatically deleted by the agent.
