vacmViewSpinLock

INTEGER{(0,2147483647)}

read-write

An advisory lock used to allow cooperating SNMP

Command Generator applications to coordinate their

use of the Set operation in creating or modifying

views.

When creating a new view or altering an existing

view, it is important to understand the potential

interactions with other uses of the view. The

vacmViewSpinLock should be retrieved. The name of

the view to be created should be determined to be

unique by the SNMP Command Generator application by

consulting the vacmViewTreeFamilyTable. Finally,

the named view may be created (Set), including the

advisory lock.

If another SNMP Command Generator application has

altered the views in the meantime, then the spin

lock's value will have changed, and so this creation

will fail because it will specify the wrong value for

the spin lock.

Since this is an advisory lock, the use of this lock

is not enforced.

This object is implemented as defined in the corresponding MIB files.
