Class CIM_RegisteredProfile
extends CIM_ManagedElement

A RegisteredProfile describes a set of CIM Schema classes with required properties and/or methods, necessary to manage a real-world entity or to support a usage scenario, in an interoperable fashion. RegisteredProfiles can be defined by the DMTF or other standards organizations. Note that this class should not be confused with CIM_Profile, which collects SettingData instances, to be applied as a 'configuration profile' for an element. A RegisteredProfile is a named 'standard' for CIM-based management of a particular System, subsystem, Service or other entity, for a specified set of uses. It is a complete, standalone definition, as opposed to the subclass RegisteredSubProfile, which requires a scoping profile for context. The uses for a RegisteredProfile or SubProfile MUST be specified in the document that defines the profile. Examples of Profiles are to manage various aspects of an Operating System, Storage Array, or Database. The name of the profile is defined and scoped by its authoring organization.

NameData TypeValue
InstanceIDstring
DescriptionstringWithin 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 organizational 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'.

AdvertiseTypeDescriptionsstring[]
ArrayTypestringIndexed
DescriptionstringA free-form string providing additional information related to the AdvertiseType. A description MUST be provided when the AdvertiseType is 1, "Other". An entry in this array corresponds to the entry in the AdvertiseTypes array at the same index. It is not expected that additional descriptions are needed if the Type is set to "Not Advertised" or "SLP". However, as the SLP template expands, or as other advertisement mechanisms are defined, support for additional descriptions may be needed. This array is defined to support this.

AdvertiseTypesuint16[]
ArrayTypestringIndexed
DescriptionstringThis property signifies the advertisement for the profile information. It is used by the advertising services of the WBEM infrastructure to determine what should be advertised, via what mechanisms. The property is an array so that the profile MAY be advertised using several mechanisms. Note: If this property is null/uninitialized, this is equivalent to specifying the value 2, "Not Advertised".

ImplementedFeaturesstring[]
DescriptionstringProfiles may gather a set of provisions together that are implemented, (or not implemented), as a whole by a conformant implementation. Such sets are known as profile features. If a profile does not define features, then this property shall be null. If not null, an implementation shall put the profile defined feature name of each implemented feature in a separate entry of this array.

Method Parameters (OpenConformantInstances)

NameTypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
ContinueOnErrorboolean
DescriptionstringTRUE requests continuation on error. Continuation on error is the ability to resume an enumeration session successfully after an invocation of this method that returned an error. A conformant implementation may support continuation on error. If ContinueOnError is true and the method does not support continuation on error, it shall return failure with return code CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED If the implementation supports continuation on error, it shall support it as follows: If ContinueOnErroris true, the enumeration session shall remain open when this or a subsequent PullConformantInstances invocation returns failure, and any subsequent successful PullConformantInstances operations process the set of instances that would have remained if the failing invocation had been successful, subject to the consistency rules defined for pulled enumerations, see DSP0223. If ContinueOnError is false, the enumeration session shall be closed when this method returns failure.
INbooleantrue
EndOfSequenceboolean
DescriptionstringThe EndOfSequence output parameter indicates to the CIM Client whether the enumeration session is exhausted. If EndOfSequence is true upon successful completion of this invocation, no more elements are available and the implmeentation shall close the enumeration session, releasing any possibly allocated resources related to the enumeration session. If EndOfSequence is false, there may be additional elements available and implementation shall not close the enumeration session.
INbooleanfalse
OUTbooleantrue
EnumerationContextstring
DescriptionstringThe EnumerationContext parameter is the enumeration context value representing the enumeration session to be used. If the session is closed as a result of this invocation, the output EnumerationContext shall be NULL. Otherwise, the output EnumerationContext shall provide the information necessary for a subsequent PullConformantInstances call.
INbooleanfalse
OUTbooleantrue
MaxObjectCountuint32
DescriptionstringThe MaxObjectCount input parameter defines the maximum number of elements that may be returned by this Pull operation. Any uint32 number is valid, including 0. The implementation may deliver any number of elements up to MaxObjectCount but shall not deliver more than MaxObjectCount.elements. The CIM Client may use a MaxObjectCount value of 0 as a means of restarting the OperationTimeout for the enumeration session, while it wishes to not retrieve any elements.
INbooleantrue
OperationTimeoutuint32
DescriptionstringThe operation timeout is the minimum time the CIM Server shall maintain the open enumeration session after the last OpenConformantInstances or PullConformantInstances invocation, (unless the enumeration session was closed during that last invocation). If the operation timeout is exceeded, the enumeration session may be closed at any time, releasing any possibly allocated resources related to the enumeration session. An OperationTimeout of 0 means that there is no operation timeout, i.e. the enumeration session is never closed based on time. If OperationTimeout is NULL, the operation timeout is implementation dependent. All other values for OperationTimeout specify the operation timeout in seconds. The implementation may restrict the set of allowable values for OperationTimeout. This specifically includes the possibility to not allow 0 (no timeout). If the specified value is not an allowable value, the method shall return failure with return code CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT.
INbooleantrue
ResultClassstring
DescriptionstringNULL, or a class name that acts as a filter to select only those central or scoping instances that a kind of the specified class. This is useful to select particular subclasses or to select a particular instances when more than one is defined for a profile.
INbooleantrue
IncludedPropertyListstring[]
