Versionstring2.7.0 CIM_ConcreteDependency
DescriptionstringCIM_ConcreteDependency is a generic association used to establish dependency relationships between ManagedElements. It is defined as a concrete subclass of the abstract CIM_Dependency class, to be used in place of many specific subclasses of Dependency that add no semantics - i.e., that do not clarify the type of dependency, update cardinalities, or add/remove qualifiers. Note that when defining additional semantics for Dependency that this class MUST NOT be subclassed. Specific semantics continue to be defined as subclasses of the abstract CIM_Dependency. ConcreteDependency is limited in its use as a concrete form of a general dependency. It was deemed more prudent to create this concrete subclass than to change Dependency from an abstract to a concrete class. Dependency already had multiple abstract subclasses in the CIM Schema, and wider industry usage and impact could not be anticipated. CIM_ConcreteDependency
