This columnar object is used for creating and deleting a conceptual row of the optIfODUkTNim config table. It is used to model the addTCM and removeTCM operations of an ODUk_CTP or ODUk_TTP for non-intrusive Tandem connection monitoring as defined in ITU-T G.874.1. Setting RowStatus to createAndGo or createAndWait implies addTCM. Setting RowStatus to destroy implies removeTCM. Successful addition/removal of Nim TCM will result in updating the optIfODUkPositionSeqCurrentSize variable and the optIfODUkPositionSeqTable table of the associated ODUk entry in the optIfODUkConfigTable.
