RIV::OQL module overview

Edit online

The RIV::OQL module provides an interface to communicate with and perform operations on Network Manager internal databases.

RIV::OQL constructor

The RIV::OQL module provides a constructor that creates and initializes a new RIV::OQL object. The RIV::OQL constructor takes a blessed reference to either a discovery agent application object or a client/server application object. These application objects were returned in a previous call to the RIV::Agent or RIV::App constructor. The RIV::OQL constructor also takes the name of a service that indicates the Network Manager internal database to use.
