snmp-mnesia Questions about MIB-Tables

Hi !

I try to make a snmp "controller application"



I need some advices about the following problems:

My MIB contains a couple of (static) tables as well as  a few scalar 
variables.


I created mnesia tables - one for the scalar variables:




 case mnesia:create_table(fourd_mib_variables, [{snmp, [{key, integer}]},
                 {attributes, record_info(fields, fourd_mib_variables)},
                 {disc_copies, ?HR}]) of
         {atomic, ok}     -> io:format("table fourd_mib_variables could 
be created~n"),
                             ok;
         {aborted,Reason} -> io:format("creation of database 
fourd_mib_variables failed reason.~w~n",[Reason]),
                             Reason
       end,

 an one for every MIB-table:

case mnesia:create_table(criticalHrAProcessesList, [ 
                                                                        
  {attributes, record_info(fields,criticalHrAProcessesList )},
                                                                        
  {disc_copies, ?HR}]) of
        {atomic, ok}     -> io:format("table active_processes could be 
created~n"),
                            ok;
        {aborted,Reason2} -> io:format("creation of database 
criticalHrAProcessesList failed reason.~w~n",[Reason2]),
                                      Reason2
     end,


1. question :   is this a good idea ?


I can initialize the fourd_mib_variables table with no problems but it's 
not clear to me how to initialize the
 criticalHrAProcessesList table.


I tried to ask my agent without initialization and get the following 
error message:
