The row status of the entry. active (1)- indicates that the conceptual row with all columns is available for use by the managed device. notInService (2) - indicates that the conceptual row exists in the agent, but is unavailable for use by the managed device. notReady (3)- indicates that the conceptual row exists in the agent, one or more required columns in the row are not instantiated. createAndGo (4)- supplied by a manager wishing to create a new instance of a conceptual row and make it available for use. createAndWait (5)- supplied by a manager wishing to create a new instance of a conceptual row but not making it available for use. destroy (6)- supplied by a manager wishing to delete all of the instances associated with an existing conceptual row. The status row can be in any one of the three states, 'notReady (3)', 'notInService (2)', or 'active (1)'. If the manager wishes to add a row in a single shot with values for all the columns, the status column should be given as'createAndGo (4)'. After the creation of a row, its value is set to active. If a row has to be created with values for only some columns, the status column should be 'createAndWait (5)'. Also, this row with partially filled columns has the status 'notReady (3)'. The entry remains in this state until the values for all the columns is set. After all the values are set, the agent changes this value to 'active (1)'.
