Class Declaration Attributes Name Value SUPERCLASS CIM_JobDestination NAME CIM_PrintQueue
Class CIM_PrintQueue Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Version string 2.10.0 CIM_PrintQueue Description string Capabilities and management of a Printer Queue. A PrintQueue holds PrintJobs that are placed on the Queue by a Print Service. Jobs can move from Queue to Queue. CIM_PrintQueue Description string JobDestination is an EnabledLogicalElement representing where a Job is submitted for processing. It can refer to a queue that contains zero or more Jobs, such as a print queue containing print Jobs. JobDestinations are hosted on Systems, similar to the way that Services are hosted on Systems. Also, they may be enabled/disabled similar to Services. CIM_JobDestination Description string This class extends LogicalElement to abstract the concept of an element that is enabled and disabled, such as a LogicalDevice or a ServiceAccessPoint. CIM_EnabledLogicalElement Description string CIM_LogicalElement is a base class for all the components of a System that represent abstract system components, such as Files, Processes, or LogicalDevices. CIM_LogicalElement Description string CIM_ManagedSystemElement is the base class for the System Element hierarchy. Any distinguishable component of a System is a candidate for inclusion in this class. Examples of system components include: - software components such as application servers, databases, and applications - operating system components such as files, processes, and threads - device components such as disk drives, controllers, processors, and printers - physical components such as chips and cards. CIM_ManagedSystemElement Description string ManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema.

Property Qualifiers
Property QueueEnabled Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Note: Both this property and QueueAccepting are deprecated in lieu of EnabledState. Deprecated description: Indicates that Jobs on the Queue will be passed to a Printer. When false, a Job will remain on the Queue and will not be passed to a Printer for output. This property, coupled with the information in QueueAccepting, aligns with various values of the inherited EnabledState property: - When both QueueEnabled and QueueAccepting are true, then EnabledState is set to 2 ( " Enabled " ) - When both QueueEnabled and QueueAccepting are false, then EnabledState is set to 3 ( " Disabled " ) - When QueueEnabled is true and QueueAccepting is false (for instance, when the Queue outputs jobs to the printer, but does not accept new jobs), then EnabledState is set to 6 ( " Enabled but Offline " ) - When QueueEnabled is false and QueueAccepting is true (for instance, when the Queue accepts print jobs but does not send them to a printer), then EnabledState is set to 8 ( " Deferred " ). CIM_PrintQueue
Property QueueAccepting Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Note: Both this property and QueueEnabled are deprecated in lieu of EnabledState. Deprecated description: When false, no PrintService can place PrintJobs on the PrintQueue. The ability of an individual PrintService to place a Job on the Queue can be specified using the QueueAcceptingFromService property in the QueueForPrint Service association. This property, coupled with the information in QueueEnabled, aligns with various values of the inherited EnabledState property: - When both QueueEnabled and QueueAccepting are true, then EnabledState is set to 2 ( " Enabled " ) - When both QueueEnabled and QueueAccepting are false, then EnabledState is set to 3 ( " Disabled " ) - When QueueEnabled is true and QueueAccepting is false (for instance, when the Queue outputs jobs to the printer, but does not accept new jobs), then EnabledState is set to 6 ( " Enabled but Offline " ) - When QueueEnabled is false and QueueAccepting is true (for instance, when the Queue accepts print jobs but does not send them to a printer), then EnabledState is set to 8 ( " Deferred " ). CIM_PrintQueue

Property QueueStatusInfo Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Provides a textual explanation for the status of the Queue. The settings of both QueueStatus and the Status property that are inherited from ManagedSystemElement can be described by QueueStatusInfo. For example, if " Stopping " is the value that is assigned to Status, then this property might contain an explanation as to why the Queue is being stopped. CIM_PrintQueue
Property MaxJobSize Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Specifies the largest possible Job (in terms of a single byte stream) that can be submitted to this Queue. A value of 0 indicates that no limit has been set. Units are Kbytes. CIM_PrintQueue Units string KiloBytes CIM_PrintQueue ModelCorrespondence string CIM_PrintJob.JobSize CIM_PrintQueue
Property DefaultJobPriority Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Specifies the priority that will be assigned to a new Job that is submitted to this Queue, if the Job does not explicitly specify a priority. The range of valid priorities and the interpretation of priorities can be determined from the JobPriorityHigh and JobPriorityLow properties. CIM_PrintQueue ModelCorrespondence string CIM_PrintQueue.JobPriorityHigh
CIM_PrintQueue.JobPriorityLowCIM_PrintQueue
Property JobPriorityHigh Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Specifies the numeric value that is used to represent the highest priority Jobs that are submitted to this Queue. The range of numeric values for priority can be inversed, for example, a high priority job is represented by a low integer value. This value is indicated by JobPriorityLow being greater than JobPriorityHigh. If both values (PriorityLow and PriorityHigh) are assigned to 0, then the Queue does not support Job priorities. CIM_PrintQueue ModelCorrespondence string CIM_PrintQueue.JobPriorityLow
CIM_Job.PriorityCIM_PrintQueue
Property JobPriorityLow Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Specifies the numeric value that is used to represent the lowest priority Jobs that are submitted to this Queue. The range of numeric values for priority can be inversed, for example, a low priority job is represented by a high integer value. This value is indicated by JobPriorityLow being greater than JobPriorityHigh. If both values (PriorityLow and PriorityHigh) are assigned to 0, then the Queue does not support Job priorities. CIM_PrintQueue ModelCorrespondence string CIM_PrintQueue.JobPriorityHigh
CIM_Job.PriorityCIM_PrintQueue
Property AvailableJobSheets Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Specifies the job sheets that are supported by this Queue. Typically the job sheets that are provided by a Queue will be the union or aggregation of those provided by all the Printers that it supports. However, a system administrator can choose to restrict access to some job sheets on a particular Queue. A Queue can also support additional job sheets through the use of a filter that adds a banner or some other page when a Job is taken from the Queue.

Property EnabledState Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled and disabled states: Enabled (2) indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests. Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests. Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state. Not Applicable (5) indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled. Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element might be completing commands, and will drop any new requests. Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state. Deferred (8) indicates that the element might be completing commands, but will queue any new requests. Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The behavior of the element is similar to the Enabled state, but it processes only a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued. Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.

Property OtherEnabledState Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A string that describes the enabled or disabled state of the element when the EnabledState property is set to 1 ( " Other " ). This property must be set to null when EnabledState is any value other than 1. CIM_EnabledLogicalElement ModelCorrespondence string CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState CIM_EnabledLogicalElement
Property RequestedState Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string RequestedState is an integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ( " Not Applicable " ), then this property has no meaning. By default, the RequestedState of the element is 5 ( " No Change " ). Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration. It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are " Reboot " (10) and " Reset " (11). Reboot refers to doing a " Shut Down " and then moving to an " Enabled " state. Reset indicates that the element is first " Disabled " and then " Enabled " . The distinction between requesting " Shut Down " and " Disabled " should also be noted. Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and might involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or processing requests. This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code. A particular instance of EnabledLogicalElement might not support RequestedStateChange. If this occurs, the value 12 ( " Not Applicable " ) is used.

Property TimeOfLastStateChange Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The date or time when the EnabledState of the element last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this property is populated, then it must be set to a 0 interval value. If a state change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property must not be updated. CIM_EnabledLogicalElement
Property InstallDate Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed. CIM_ManagedSystemElement MappingStrings string MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5 CIM_ManagedSystemElement
Property Name Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property. CIM_ManagedSystemElement MaxLen uint32 1024 CIM_ManagedSystemElement
Property OperationalStatus Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration ’ s values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more detail. " Stressed " indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of " Stressed " states are overload, overheated, and so on. " Predictive Failure " indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. " In Service " describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered. " No Contact " indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it. " Lost Communication " indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable. " Stopped " and " Aborted " are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated. " Dormant " indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. " Supporting Entity in Error " indicates that this element might be " OK " but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems. " Completed " indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error). " Power Mode " indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today ’ s environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

Property StatusDescriptions Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if " Stopping " is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus. CIM_ManagedSystemElement ArrayType string Indexed CIM_ManagedSystemElement ModelCorrespondence string CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus CIM_ManagedSystemElement
Property Status Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons: 1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. 3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.

Property HealthState Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined: " Non-recoverable Error " (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost. " Critical Failure " (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible. " Major Failure " (20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working. " Minor Failure " (15) - All functionality is available but some might be degraded. " Degraded/Warning " (10) - The element is in working order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors. " OK " (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error. " Unknown " (0) - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time. DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future. CIM_ManagedSystemElement ValueMap string [See below.] CIM_ManagedSystemElement Values string Unknown

Property Description Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Description property provides a textual description of the object. CIM_ManagedElement
Property ElementName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. CIM_ManagedElement
