Object

scalar r/w SNMPv2-TCTestAndIncr
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.
