This table will be used to hold a list of the WMI expressions, which are used for the translation of data that is collected from a WMI Gateway to a format that is acceptable for the SLM r11 database.
For example, since strings are a valid type of information collected by the WMI and the events table can only store numeric information, we need a way to map the data into the database. This is accomplished by using an expression, which can be saved for future use, or applied to other types of WMI metric instances. The expression itself will probably use a language such as Tcl, which is used by the SNMP Metric Wizard expressions in SLM 3.5.
