Module: LEXMARK-MPS-MIB
OID (symbolic): LEXMARK-MPS-MIB::swInventoryParentIndex
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.641.6.3.3.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-only
Description: The swInventoryIndex of the software object that the item in this row is tied to. If there is no parent, this object should read 0.
Example: An application framework is installed. It should have an swInventoryParentIndex of 0. If applications are installed that use that framework, those should have an swInventoryParentIndex that points to the application framework.
What is swInventoryParentIndex?
Points to the swInventoryIndex of a parent software item this entry depends on, such as an application pointing back to the framework it runs on; 0 means no parent (a top-level item like the framework itself). An admin uses this to see software dependency relationships, e.g. confirming which applications are tied to a particular installed framework before removing it.
