In this situation, a manager application program requests that an object be deleted and the agent application program that owns the object allows it to be deleted. In general, these are the steps that are followed:

1. The manager application program issues the CMIP delete request for an object.
2. CMIP services sends an ROIV message to the agent application program that owns the object.
3. The agent application program sends the MIB.DeleteResponse with a result code of 0 to CMIP services.
4. CMIP services sends MIB.Delete with an action code of 0 to the agent application program.
5. The agent application program uses the MIBSendCmipResponse to return the CMIP delete response to CMIP services.
6. CMIP services sends an RORS to the manager application program containing the application program's delete response.
7. CMIP services sends the API_TERMINATE_INSTANCE to the deleted object.
