Description: This is the table INDEX. It is actually an octet encoded key representing the database record to be managed and how it is to be treated. It contains the Database Operation type, the DBSpecifier for database record, and the UMC system DB KEY identifying the record being referenced. For the initial implementation the OCTET representation will be as follows : octet[0] Version number of the octet representation being used to define this INDEX. The version number for the initial implementation will be 0x01.

For Version number 0x01 the remaining octets will be defined as follows :

octet[1] DB specifier octet for the database record being referenced. octet[2] Operation Type : See the DataOperation data type. octet[3] The Length (in bytes) of the database key in the following octets. octet[4] - [?] The actual UMC System database key to be used to manage the database record in question.
