A class is a blueprint, or prototype, that defines the properties
and the methods common to a particular kind of object. Each
CIM class is a blueprint for a type of managed element. Classes
contain properties, which describe the data of the class,
and methods , which describe the behavior of the class. A
class is scoped by the schema in which it belongs. A class must
belong to only one schema and the class name must be unique for
that schema. A fully qualified class name includes the schema name
using the following format: schemaname_classname.
Example:
[Abstract, Version ("2.7.0"), Description
(
"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.") ]
class CIM_ManagedElement {
[MaxLen (64), Description (
"The Caption property
is a short textual description (one-"
"line string) of
the object.") ]
string Caption;
[Description (
"The Description
property provides a textual description of "
"the object.")
]
string Description;
[Description (
" 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. \n"
" Note that
ManagedSystemElement's Name property 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 MAY be present in both "
"the Name and ElementName
properties.") ]
string ElementName;
};
