Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL)

The Component Interface outline lists five procedures that define the simplest method for you to write run-time instrumentation. When you complete the outline files, include them in the library and in your program.

To use run-time programs, use an instrument to specify the attribute value of the MIF Path block name. The block name should contain the run-time program file name or path name. (See the SystemView Agent Programmer's Guide on the system for details about using the Path block in the MIF file.) This program runs when the Service Layer needs to access the attribute values.

If the file name in the path block does not have a complete path, the Service Layer uses the library path to find the DLL.
