Modifying the SMA Instrumentation Code

After you generate and analyze the templates, the task then is to extract the core SNMP get, getnext, and set processing out of the Solstice Enterprise Agents subagent code, and move it to the get and set handler and get_first/get_next methods defined in the SMA module approach.

The index handling is removed from each get and set function in Solstice Enterprise Agents code to be handled by the SMA. Special methods are used for tables. Context fields are used to store the current index information so that advancing in the table is relatively simple.
