CREATE_OBJECTinstruction

This instruction creates an SMI object of specified class.

Syntax

create_object object-identifier of_class class-name

where object-identifier is either:

Example:

As any other instruction, this instruction would be incorporated in a action. Let's call this action arbitrarily CONFIGURE. Also let's assign to this action a parameter and call it equally arbitrarily NEW_POWER_SUPPLY. Let's also assume, that our SMI domain contains a class of objects called POWER_SUPLY. In one of the objects of the domain we could than add action CONFIGURE as follows:

action : CONFIGURE (NEW_POWER_SUPPLY)
. . .
create_object $(NEW_POWER_SUPPLY) of_class POWER_SUPPLY
. . .

The action CONFIGURE, most likely invoked from a GUI, would pick up the value of the parameter NEW_POWER_SUPPLY(let's call it arbitrarily HV109) and a new object called HV109 of the above class would be created.
