ADD ALIASTYPE Adds new alias type, defining default domain for instances of the type,
corresponding subsystem-object types, owner, and numeric type code.
ADD COMPOSITE Adds new composite object, defining domain where definition is
replicated, components, groups to which the object belongs, and its type.
ADD COMPOSITETYPE Adds new composite type, defining default domain for instances of type,
component types, owner, and numeric type code.
ADD DNSDOMAIN Adds new DNS domain, defining nodes included in domain.
ADD GROUP Adds new group, defining domain where definition is replicated, groups
to which it belongs, and member objects.
ADD SS Adds new subsystem, defining company owning the subsystem, and an
integer that uniquely identifies subsystem within context of its owner.
