3.1.4.3.2.1.1.1 ObjectReference Type

Many of the commands require an element that is of type ObjectReference. An ObjectReference consists of a hierarchical list of references that, when concatenated, reference an object by its full path in the server object hierarchy.

Only a MajorObject (section 2.2.4.2.2.1) can be referenced by an ObjectReference.

The following table lists the elements that are needed to reference each of the major objects.

ServerID is always optional when referencing a major object, because the current server is used.
