This field can contain a sequence of bit-mapped flags. The values of these
flags are:
DCI_ENABLED
This class is enabled and available
for use. All classes registered are considered enabled. This bit must be
set for all registrations of all metrics.
DCI_DISABLED
This class is disabled. This status is not supported.
All classes registered are considered enabled.
DCI_NOTIMPLEMENTED
A non-implemented class.
DCI_NOTAPPLICABLE
This class is not applicable to the measured system.
DCI_OBSOLETE
This class
is no longer supported on the measured system.
DCI_PROVIDER_INSTANCE
The provider does not register instances with the
DCI. All instance requests go directly to the provider's method. This is
used for volatile instances. Volatile instances are used for classes where
registering each instance is regarded as too time consuming considering
the life of the instance. For example, threads, task and memory objects.
Change notification of volatile instances is not supported.
