Versionstring2.6.0 CIM_InstMethodCall
DescriptionstringCIM_InstMethodCall notifies when an instance ’ s method is invoked. CIM_InstMethodCall
Indicationbooleantrue CIM_InstMethodCall
DescriptionstringCIM_InstIndication is an abstract superclass describing changes to instances. Subclasses represent specific types of change notifications, such as instance creation, deletion and modification. CIM_InstIndication
Indicationbooleantrue CIM_InstIndication
Indicationbooleantrue CIM_Indication
DescriptionstringCIM_Indication is the abstract root class for all notifications about changes in schema, objects and their data, and about events detected by providers and instrumentation. Subclasses represent specific types of notifications. To receive an Indication, a consumer (or subscriber) must create an instance of CIM_IndicationFilter describing the criteria of the notification, an instance of CIM_ListenerDestination describing the delivery of the notification, and an instance of CIM_IndicationSubscription associating the Filter and Handler.

Property Qualifiers

Property MethodName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Requiredbooleantrue CIM_InstMethodCall
DescriptionstringThe name of the method invoked. CIM_InstMethodCall

Property MethodParameters Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe parameters of the method, formatted as an EmbeddedObject (with a predefined class name of " __MethodParameters " . CIM_InstMethodCall
EmbeddedObjectbooleantrue CIM_InstMethodCall

Property ReturnValue Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringReturnValue ’ s data is dependent on the PreCall property. When PreCall is TRUE, this property is NULL describing that there is no method return value (since the method has not yet executed). When PreCall is FALSE, ReturnValue contains a string representation of the method ’ s return value. CIM_InstMethodCall
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_InstMethodCall.PreCall CIM_InstMethodCall

Property PreCall Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Requiredbooleantrue CIM_InstMethodCall
DescriptionstringBoolean indicating whether the Indication is sent before the method begins executing (TRUE) or when the method completes (FALSE). When TRUE, the inherited property SourceInstance contains the value of the instance (the properties defined by the Filter ’ s Query clause), before execution of the method. When PreCall is FALSE, SourceInstance embeds the instance as it appears after the completion of the method. CIM_InstMethodCall

Property SourceInstance Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Requiredbooleantrue CIM_InstIndication
DescriptionstringA copy of the instance that changed to generate the Indication. SourceInstance contains the current values of the properties selected by the Indication Filter ’ s Query. In the case of CIM_InstDeletion, the property values are copied before the instance is deleted. CIM_InstIndication
EmbeddedObjectbooleantrue CIM_InstIndication

Property IndicationIdentifier Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringAn identifier for the Indication. This property is similar to a key value in that it can be used for identification, when correlating Indications (see the CorrelatedIndications array). Its value SHOULD be unique as long as Alert correlations are reported, but MAY be reused or left NULL if no future Indications will reference it in their CorrelatedIndications array. CIM_Indication

Property CorrelatedIndications Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringA list of IndicationIdentifiers whose notifications are correlated with (related to) this one. CIM_Indication

Property IndicationTime Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe time and date of creation of the Indication. The property may be set to NULL if the entity creating the Indication is not capable of determing this information. Note that IndicationTime may be the same for two Indications that are generated in rapid succession. CIM_Indication
