message flow documentation

[Peter Loveman]

Frank,
This is exactly what I needed!!!...do you by chance have a simular list
for gets and get-nexts.  I'm guessing they're pretty simular, but if
you've already got a list that'd be great.
Thanks so much for responding,
Peter Loveman

Peter,

Unfortunately, the AGENT++v3.x documentation is still under
construction.
Have you read the AGENT++v2.x documentation? It gives an overview
of the principles behind AGENT++.

Are you interested in how a SNMP message is dispatched by AGENT++?
This could give a brief description for a SET request processing:

1. RequestList::receive
2. Mib::process_request
2.1 Mib::process_set_request
2.2 for all subrequests do
2.2.1 Mib::get_context
2.2.2 Mib::find_managing_object
2.2.3 MibEntry::prepare_set_request
2.2.4 if all ok
2.2.4.1 MibEntry::commit_set_request
2.2.4.1.1 if ok MibEntry::clean_up_set_request
2.2.4.1.2 else MibEntry::undo_set_request
2.2.4.2 else MibEntry:cleanup_set_request
2.3 Mib::finalize
2.3.1 RequestList::answer
2.4 STOP

Regards,
Frank
