The ID statement assigns a unique numeric identifier for the definition. Each type of definition that is required to have an ID must have a unique ID in its scope. IDs are used for naming items at the API level, and for mapping to network management protocols. The syntax is:
id = n
In the ID statement, the .MIF file provider defines n. The value of n must be a non-zero 32-bit unsigned integer and must be unique in the scope of the containing definition. For example, all attributes in a group must have different IDs, but it is not necessary for attribute IDs to be unique across groups. Since components and management applications use these IDs for communication, users cannot change them.
The id statement is required in the attribute and table definitions. It is optional in the group definition. It is not used in the component, path, and enum definitions. The Service Layer assigns IDs to the components at installation time. The id statement can appear only once per definition.
