The DMI Direct Interface Componentry sample (NAMEDIR.C) is located in the \TOOLKIT\SAMPLES\SYSMGT\DMI\NAMEDIR subdirectory.

To use NAMEDIR, do the following:

• Copy the NAMEDIR.MIF file to the \DMIPATH directory.

• Open the Problem Determination Tools folder (located in the OS/2 System folder).

• Start the DMI MIF Browser.

• From an OS/2 session, run the NAMEDIR.EXE program. The following two things will happen:

  • A new component will be added to the DMI database and will be displayed in the DMI MIF Browser. The name of the component will be DMI Service Layers - Direct Interface (DI) version.

  • The OS/2 session will display the following messages:

        Preparing to install 'NAMEDIR.MIF'
        Installation successful ComponentID=6.
        Preparing to register component id 6
        I got started
    

  5.
  Expand the new component and double-click on one of the groups to see information about the operating system, company name, and the name of the DMI service layer. This information is coming from the NAMEDIR.EXE file.
