Management plugin creation query

Question

Hi i was trying to create a management plugin to display some lines of data onto the OMS UI. The problem i am facing here is, i am trying to post two lines to be displayed onto OMS UI, but i am able to see only one line being displayed on the UI..
Please refer the below mentioned metadata file i am using
<TargetMetadata META_VER="9.5" TYPE="workload360_collection_eod">
<Display>
<Label NLSID="workload_monitors_eod">Workload360 Data Monitor</Label>

I am printing this output from the script "workload_monitor.sh"...
print "em_result=hello|and|Collection|FNDEXT|19-OCT-08 19:34:12|19-OCT-08 19:34:15|1026751|C|19-OCT-08 19:33:44|19-OCT-08 19:23:44|ten|STANDARD\nDEST|EXT|Vikash Collection|VIKEXT|19-OCT-07 19:34:12|19-OCT-07 19:34:15|10111|D|19-OCT-07 19:33:44|19-OCT-07 19:23:44|eleven|why"
In this case there are two rows, there could be multiple rows in some cases... my main intention is to collect data and get it through the OMS database. Can you please let me know how can i do that....

Hi,
the issue got sorted out.... anywayz have one more question...
We are planning to modify some of the base EM plugin scripts, which comes with the basic EM Agent installation. In one of the metadata file named instance.xmlp , i did found a parameter name "_physical_writes" but wasnt able to trace the source in any of the perl scripts, i could find the parameter "physical_writes" collected in one of the perl script files, but wasnt able to find the parameter "_physical_writes", not sure what does the parameter "_physical_writes" mean or what does that underscore mean????
In the below metadata entries the metric "physwrites_ps" is collected based on some other parameters like
physicalwrites ,__interval, physicalwrites. I am able to figure where can i find the below mentioned parameters, i did check all the scipts and also the metadata files..
admin/metadata/instance.xmlp: <Label NLSID="instance_throughput_physical_writes">physical writes</Label>
admin/metadata/instance.xmlp: <ColumnDescriptor NAME="physwrites_ps" TYPE="NUMBER" IS_KEY="FALSE" COMPUTE_EXPR="(_physical_writes > physical_writes) ? (1/0) : (physical_writes - _physical_writes)/__interval">
admin/metadata/instance.xmlp: <ColumnDescriptor NAME="physwrites_pt" TYPE="NUMBER" IS_KEY="FALSE" COMPUTE_EXPR="(_physical_writes > physical_writes) ? (1/0) : (physical_writes - _physical_writes)/transactions">
