Metabase Concepts

The following table describes concepts that help to understand the structure of the metabase.

Term	Description
Node or Key	A hierarchical container in the IIS metabase. Each node enables a specific set of properties to be configured at that location or path. For example, at the Web service node, identified by the IIsWebService IIS Glossary at the /LM/WSVC path in the metabase, certain properties like AppRoot can be set that affect the IIS Web service. A node is a child of another node if its path includes the path of the parent (for example, /LM/WSVC/1 is a child node of /LM/WSVC).
Path or Location	A path in the metabase uniquely identifies the hierarchical position of a node. For example /LM (local machine) is the path of the IIsComputer admin object, of which there can be only one. However, the IIsWebVirtualDir admin object can exist at several paths in the metabase, such as /LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT, /LM/W3SVC/2/ROOT, and /LM/W3SVC/2/ROOT/MyVDir. IIS 6.0: Each key in the metabase contains a Location attribute that specifies the path.
Property or Custom Property	A property or custom property defines values that are used to configure IIS. Properties contain attributes, and some properties, such as AccessFlags, also contain flags. Properties are contained by nodes in the metabase. Custom properties are not defined in the schema, but are configurable in the metabase as IIsCustom and contained in the IISConfigObject parent node.
Attributes	Metabase properties contain several attributes that describe some characteristics of the property, such as the INHERIT attribute. IIS 6.0: Not to be confused with XML attributes set in the Metabase.xml file, such as the Location attribute.
Flags	A flag is a particular bit within the DWORD value of a property that contains flags. Each flag within a property is used to configure particular functionality of the property, such as read or write access. The sum of the flag values for a property becomes the sum of the value attribute for that property.
Collections	The structure of the metabase schema is organized using containers called "collections."
Inheritance	To keep the size of the metabase manageable, IIS allows inheritance of properties from parent node to child node. Not all properties are inheritable properties. If an inheritable property is explicitly set at a child node, the explicit value overrides the inherited value. It is recommended that you do not rely heavily on inheritance. Each inherited property requires extra processing time to allow its value to be obtained from the parent node, and therefore negatively impacts performance.
