mlmNextScript

Module: MLM-MIB

OID (symbolic): MLM-MIB::mlmNextScript

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.42.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TestAndIncr

Access: read-write

Description: This variable is used for creating scripts in the mlmScriptTable. It should be used for creating scripts from scratch, or for reading scripts from non-volatile storage into the mlmScriptTable (by setting mlmScriptNumber as described later). The current value of mlmNextScript should first be retrieved, and this value should then be included in the set request for creating the first row of a new script, or in the set request for changing mlmScriptNumber to read a script from non-volatile storage. If the value it is set to does not equal its current value, the set completely fails. A manager should only perform set requests on rows in the mlmScriptTable which it has created using mlmNextScript. The value of mlmNextScript is equal to the first unused set of rows in the mlmScriptTable.

What is mlmNextScript?

A TestAndIncr semaphore analogous to mlmLock but for the mlmScriptTable: a manager retrieves its current value and must include that same value in the set request that creates the first row of a new script, or the set fails, ensuring only the manager that reserved this script slot can populate it.
