Class CIM_MethodAction Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Experimental boolean true CIM_MethodAction Version string 2.8.1000 CIM_MethodAction Description string MethodAction is a PolicyAction that MAY invoke methods as defined by a query. If there are no results returned from the query, then no methods are called, otherwise each query result row defines the method to call and its parameters. The called method MAY be either an intrinsic method of a CIM Namespace or an extrinsic method of a CIM_ManagedElement. In order to correlate between methods called by this MethodAction and any other invoked Methods, InstMethodCall indications MAY be created for the method calls that result from this MethodAction. These indications are named by the value in the InstMethodCallName property. These indications MUST be produced if that InstMethodCallName value is included in the FROM clause of the query of some other MethodAction instance within the same PolicyRule. (The details of how this is accomplished are implementation dependent.) The input parameters to the method are defined by the query and MAY be fixed values defined by literals or MAY be defined by reference to one or more properties of classes named in the FROM clause of the query. The referenced objects MAY be those produced by QueryConditions or MethodActions instances associated to the same PolicyRule instance. CIM_MethodAction Description string A class representing a rule-specific or reusable policy action to be performed if the PolicyConditions for a Policy Rule evaluate to TRUE. Since all operational details of a PolicyAction are provided in subclasses of this object, this class is abstract. CIM_PolicyAction Description string An abstract class defining the common properties of the policy managed elements derived from CIM_Policy. The subclasses are used to create rules and groups of rules that work together to form a coherent set of policies within an administrative domain or set of domains. CIM_Policy 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 InstMethodCallName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Required boolean true CIM_MethodAction Description string In the context of the associated PolicyRule, InstMethodCallName defines a unique name for the InstMethodCall instances that result from the methods invoked as a result of evaluating the Query string. This name MAY be used in subsequent MethodActions of the same PolicyRule to identify the set of InstMethodCall instances that result from evaluation of this MethodAction in the context of its PolicyRule. This string is treated as a class name, in a query statement. CIM_MethodAction ModelCorrespondence string CIM_MethodAction.Query CIM_MethodAction
Property Query Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Required boolean true CIM_MethodAction Description string A query expression that defines the method to invoke and its input parameters. These are defined by the first and subsequent select-list entries in the Query string ’ s select-criteria. The FROM clause MAY reference any object, including those named by the QueryResultName and MethodCallName produced by QueryConditions or MethodActions of the same PolicyRule. Note that both intrinsic and extrinsic methods MAY be called. The first select-list entry MUST be an object Path to a method. For consistency it SHOULD be called MethodName. However, if there is a conflict with existing parameter names, it MAY be called something else. The remaining select list entries are not positional and MUST use the name of the corresponding method parameter. CIM_MethodAction ModelCorrespondence string CIM_MethodAction.InstMethodCallName

Property SystemCreationClassName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_PolicyAction Description string The name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of the System object in whose scope this PolicyAction is defined. This property helps to identify the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyAction exists. For a rule-specific PolicyAction, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyAction, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Action. Note that this property, and the analogous property SystemName, do not represent propagated keys from an instance of the class System. Instead, they are properties defined in the context of this class, which repeat the values from the instance of System to which this PolicyAction is related, either directly via the PolicyActionInPolicyRepository association or indirectly via the PolicyActionInPolicyRule aggregation. CIM_PolicyAction MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_PolicyAction
Property SystemName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_PolicyAction Description string The name of the System object in whose scope this PolicyAction is defined. This property completes the identification of the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyAction exists. For a rule-specific PolicyAction, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyAction, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Action. CIM_PolicyAction MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_PolicyAction
Property PolicyRuleCreationClassName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_PolicyAction Description string For a rule-specific PolicyAction, the CreationClassName of the PolicyRule object with which this Action is associated. For a reusable PolicyAction, a special value, ’ NO RULE ’ , should be used to indicate that this Action is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule. CIM_PolicyAction MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_PolicyAction
Property PolicyRuleName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_PolicyAction Description string For a rule-specific PolicyAction, the name of the PolicyRule object with which this Action is associated. For a reusable PolicyAction, a special value, ’ NO RULE ’ , should be used to indicate that this Action is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule. CIM_PolicyAction MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_PolicyAction
Property CreationClassName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_PolicyAction Description string CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified. CIM_PolicyAction MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_PolicyAction
Property PolicyActionName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_PolicyAction Description string A user-friendly name of this PolicyAction. CIM_PolicyAction MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_PolicyAction
Property DoActionLogging Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string DoActionLogging causes a log message to be generated when the action is performed. CIM_PolicyAction
Property CommonName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A user-friendly name of this policy-related object. CIM_Policy
Property PolicyKeywords Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string An array of keywords for characterizing / categorizing policy objects. Keywords are of one of two types: - Keywords defined in this and other MOFs, or in DMTF white papers. These keywords provide a vendor- independent, installation-independent way of characterizing policy objects. - Installation-dependent keywords for characterizing policy objects. Examples include ’ Engineering ’ , ’ Billing ’ , and ’ Review in December 2000 ’ . This MOF defines the following keywords: ’ UNKNOWN ’ , ’ CONFIGURATION ’ , ’ USAGE ’ , ’ SECURITY ’ , ’ SERVICE ’ , ’ MOTIVATIONAL ’ , ’ INSTALLATION ’ , and ’ EVENT ’ . These concepts are self-explanatory and are further discussed in the SLA/Policy White Paper. One additional keyword is defined: ’ POLICY ’ . The role of this keyword is to identify policy-related instances that may not be otherwise identifiable, in some implementations. The keyword ’ POLICY ’ is NOT mutually exclusive of the other keywords specified above. CIM_Policy
Property Caption Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. CIM_ManagedElement MaxLen uint32 64 CIM_ManagedElement
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
