CIM SMASH/Server Management API

Class CIM_MethodResult

extends CIM_ManagedElement
Jobs are sometimes used to represent extrinsic method invocations that execute for times longer than the length of time is reasonable to require a client to wait. The method executing continues beyond the method return to the client. The class provides the result of the execution of a Job that was itself started by the side-effect of this extrinsic method invocation. The indication instances embedded an instance of this class MUST be the same indications delivered to listening clients or recorded, all or in part, to logs. Basically, this approach is a corollary to the functionality provided by an instance of ListenerDestinationLog (as defined in the Interop Model). The latter provides a comprehensive, persistent mechanism for recording Job results, but is also more resource-intensive and requires supporting logging functionality. Both the extra resources and logging MAY NOT be available in all environments (for example, embedded environments). Therefore, this instance-based approach is also provided. The MethodResult instances MUST NOT exist after the associated ConcreteJob is deleted.

Local Class Properties

Name	Data Type	Qualifiers
Name	Data Type	Name	Data Type	Value	Scope	Flavors
Caption	string
		Description	string	The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.	None	TRANSLATABLE= true
		MaxLen	uint32	64	None	None
Description	string
Description	string	Description	string	The Description property provides a textual description of the object.	None	TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementName	string
ElementName	string	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. Note that if there is an associated instance of CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on this properties may exist as defined in ElementNameMask and MaxElementNameLen properties defined in that class.	None	TRANSLATABLE= true
InstanceID	string
		Description	string	Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.	None	TRANSLATABLE= true

PostCallIndication	string
		Description	string	This property contains a CIM_InstMethodCall Indication that describes the post-execution values of the extrinisic method invocation.	None	TRANSLATABLE= true
