729.0. "Additional reference attributes" by CCIIS1::ROGGEBAND () Mon Feb 18 1991 07:23

    Hello,
    
    Question : Is it possible to add reference attributes to existing
    object classes ? i.e. augment entities such as Node4, Bridge, SNMP ?
    Most customers like the idea of reference attributes, but they want
    "their own" attributes. Something tells me it shouldn't be too
    difficult to do that.
    
    amicalement,
    
    Philippe.

729.1I think soBARREL::LEMMONTue Feb 19 1991 00:5412
    I believe it can be done by writing up a management specification using
    the syntax that augments an existing entity.   The new reference
    attribute names/codes should be registered (at a minimum make sure they don't
    conflict with any existing attribute names/codes name) and the 
    datatype must be latin1string.
    
    I don't have the exact MS syntax for augmenting an existing entity but
    believe it is in the toolkit documentation.
