| Description | string | CIM_MethodParameters represents a set of values to be used as the parameters of a method These parameters may be passed to the method, diretly used by the method in its invocation, or accessed by the method when it is called. The properties of a concrete subclass of MethodParameters are mapped to the parameters of a method by the method itself or by the method caller. This is an implementation detail independent of the definition of the class. For ease of use, property names should match parameter names.
Property values should be set before the method is invoked. The ModelCorrespondence qualifier can be used to indicate if the property value should come from another class's property. The instances that the property values should be gleaned from should be associated with MethodParameters using the ParameterValueSources association. If the property is declared as an array, then the same property value (identified by the ModelCorrespondence) will be retrieved from all appropriate ParameterValueSources instances and stored in the array. If the property is declared as an array and the ModelCorrespondence is to an array property, then only one instance of the array will be copied from one ParameterValueSource. If the property is not declared as an array and there are multiple instances of the class and property associated with it through model correspondence where the values are not all the same, then an error will occur and the property's value will not be set. Several MethodParameters instances can be associated with any ManagedElement's methods. This allows the maintenance of 'canned' method invocation and reduces the overhead of recreating all method parameters for every method invocation. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
