Method Detail

associatorNames

public int associatorNames(CIMObjectPath objectName,
                           java.lang.String assocClass,
                           java.lang.String resultClass,
                           java.lang.String role,
                           java.lang.String resultRole)
                    throws CIMException

This operation is used to enumerate the names of CIM Objects (Classes or Instances) that are associated to a particular source CIM Object.

Parameters:

objectName - - Defines the source CIM Object whose associated Objects are to be returned. This may be either a Class name or Instance name (modelpath).

assocClass - The AssocClass input parameter, if not NULL, MUST be a valid CIM Association Class name. It acts as a filter on the returned set of Objects by mandating that each returned Object MUST be associated to the source Object via an Instance of this Class or one of its subclasses.

resultClass - The ResultClass input parameter, if not NULL, MUST be a valid CIM Class name. It acts as a filter on the returned set of Objects by mandating that each returned Object MUST be either an Instance of this Class (or one of its subclasses) or be this Class (or one of its subclasses).

role - The Role input parameter, if not NULL, MUST be a valid Property name. It acts as a filter on the returned set of Objects by mandating that each returned Object MUST be associated to the source Object via an Association in which the source Object plays the specified role (i.e. the name of the Property in the Association Class that refers to the source Object MUST match the value of this parameter).

resultRole - The ResultRole input parameter, if not NULL, MUST be a valid Property name. It acts as a filter on the returned set of Objects by mandating that each returned Object MUST be associated to the source Object via an Association in which the returned Object plays the specified role (i.e. the name of the Property in the Association Class that refers to the returned Object MUST match the value of this parameter).

Returns:

int - Operation ID. Result list from the performBatch method contains the actual return value.

Throws:

CIMException

associators

public int associators(CIMObjectPath objectName,
                       java.lang.String assocClass,
                       java.lang.String resultClass,
                       java.lang.String role,
                       java.lang.String resultRole,
                       boolean includeQualifiers,
                       boolean includeClassOrigin,
                       java.lang.String[] propertyList)
                throws CIMException

This operation is used to enumerate CIM Objects (Classes or Instances) that are associated to a particular source CIM Object.

Parameters:

objectName - - Defines the source CIM Object whose associated Objects are to be returned. This may be either a Class name or Instance name (modelpath).

assocClass - The AssocClass input parameter, if not NULL, MUST be a valid CIM Association Class name. It acts as a filter on the returned set of Objects by mandating that each returned Object MUST be associated to the source Object via an Instance of this Class or one of its subclasses.

resultClass - The ResultClass input parameter, if not NULL, MUST be a valid CIM Class name. It acts as a filter on the returned set of Objects by mandating that each returned Object MUST be either an Instance of this Class (or one of its subclasses) or be this Class (or one of its subclasses).

role - The Role input parameter, if not NULL, MUST be a valid Property name. It acts as a filter on the returned set of Objects by mandating that each returned Object MUST be associated to the source Object via an Association in which the source Object plays the specified role (i.e. the name of the Property in the Association Class that refers to the source Object MUST match the value of this parameter).

resultRole - The ResultRole input parameter, if not NULL, MUST be a valid Property name. It acts as a filter on the returned set of Objects by mandating that each returned Object MUST be associated to the source Object via an Association in which the returned Object plays the specified role (i.e. the name of the Property in the Association Class that refers to the returned Object MUST match the value of this parameter).

includeQualifiers - If the IncludeQualifiers input parameter is true this specifies that all Qualifiers for each Object (including Qualifiers on the Object and on any returned Properties) MUST be included as elements in the response. If false no elements are present in each returned Object.

includeClassOrigin - If the IncludeClassOrigin input parameter is true, this specifies that the CLASSORIGIN attribute MUST be present on all appropriate elements in each returned Object. If false, no CLASSORIGIN attributes are present in each returned Object.

propertyList - If the PropertyList input parameter is not NULL, the members of the array define one or more Property names. Each returned Object MUST NOT include elements for any Properties missing from this list. Note that if LocalOnly is specified as true (or DeepInheritance is specified as false) this acts as an additional filter on the set of Properties returned (for example, if Property A is included in the PropertyList but LocalOnly is set to true and A is not local to a returned Instance, then it will not be included in that Instance). If the PropertyList input parameter is an empty array this signifies that no Properties are included in each returned Object. If the PropertyList input parameter is NULL this specifies that all Properties (subject to the conditions expressed by the other parameters) are included in each returned Object. If the PropertyList contains duplicate elements, the Server ignores the duplicates but otherwise process the request normally. If the PropertyList contains elements which are invalid Property names for any target Object, the Server ignores such entries but otherwise process the request normally. Clients SHOULD NOT explicitly specify properties in the PropertyList parameter unless they have specified a non-NULL value for the ResultClass parameter.

Returns:

int - Operation ID. Result array from the performBatch method contains the actual return value.

CIMException

deleteInstance

public int deleteInstance(CIMObjectPath path)
                   throws CIMException

Deletes the CIM instance specified by the CIM object path, a name that uniquely identifies a CIM object. A CIM object path consists of two parts: namespace + model path. The model path is created by concatenating the properties of a class that are qualified with the KEY qualifier.

Parameters:

path - The CIMObjectPath identifying the CIM instance to delete

Returns:

int - Operation ID.

Throws:

CIMException

deleteQualifierType

public int deleteQualifierType(CIMObjectPath path)

The user does not have permission to view the result.

The requested query language is not supported.

The query specifies a class that does not exist.
