DESCRIPTION

The DMI Service Provider, dmispd, is the core of the DMI solution.  Management applications and Component instrumentations communicate with each other through the Service Provider.  The Service Provider coordinates and arbitrates requests from the management application to the specified component instrumentations.  The Service Provider handles runtime management of the Component Interface (CI) and the Management Interface (MI), including component installation, registration at the MI and CI level, request serialization and synchronization, event handling for CI, and general flow control and housekeeping.
