Class CIM_DiagnosticService
extends CIM_Service

The CIM_DiagnosticService class provides the ability to start a service that functions to participate in a problem determination process. Specific diagnostic services SHOULD be defined by subclassing this class. Examples of a diagnostic service are tests, information retrievers, exercisers, and ports to external executives.

RunDiagnostic (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (RunDiagnostic)

Name	Data Type	Value
Deprecated	string	CIM_DiagnosticService.RunDiagnosticService
Description	string	This method is being deprecated as part of the change to have Diagnostic Settings derive from CIM_SettingData instead of CIM_Setting. The RunDiagnostic method is invoked to commence execution of a diagnostic program on a specific managed element. The input parameters specify this managed element and the settings that SHALL be applied to the diagnostic and the resultant job. The method returns a reference to the ConcreteJob instance created. Prior to invoking this method, clients SHALL examine the appropriate capabilities and create valid DiagnosticSetting and JobSettingData instances to apply as input parameters. Since settings may be changed without warning, the RunDiagnostic method SHOULD immediately evaluate and capture the attributes of DiagnsoticSetting in an instance of DiagnosticSettingRecord. This information is useful for post-mortem analysis of diagnostic results. A job SHALL be instantiated as a means for monitoring the diagnostic as it runs and to provide useful accounting and status information once the diagnostic has completed. The "Busy" return code indicates that the method cannot be invoked "at this time". It is not an error condition, but signals that the provider is doing something else and cannot respond.

Method Parameters (RunDiagnostic)

Name	Type	Qualifiers
Name	Type	Name	Data Type	Value
DiagSetting	REF CIM_DiagnosticSetting
		Description	string	Specifies the desired settings that SHOULD be applied to the Diagnostic. If null, the Diagnostic's defaults MAY be used.

Job	REF CIM_ConcreteJob
		Description	string	Returns a reference to the resulting Job.
		IN	boolean	false
		OUT	boolean	true
JobSetting	REF CIM_JobSettingData
		Description	string	Specifies the desired settings that SHALL be applied to the resulting Job. If null, the job's defaults MAY be used.
		IN	boolean	true
ManagedElement	REF CIM_ManagedElement

RunDiagnosticService (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (RunDiagnosticService)

Name	Data Type	Value
Description	string	The RunDiagnosticService method is invoked to commence execution of a diagnostic program on a specific managed element. The input parameters specify this managed element and the settings to be applied to the diagnostic and the resultant job. The method returns a reference to the ConcreteJob instance created. Prior to invoking this method, clients examine defaults and appropriate capabilities and create valid DiagnosticSettingData and JobSettingData instances to apply as input parameters. The RunDiagnosticService method SHALL evaluate and capture the attributes of DiagnosticSettingData in an instance of DiagnosticSettingDataRecord for use in post-mortem analysis of diagnostic results. A job SHALL be instantiated as a means for monitoring the diagnostic as it runs and to provide useful accounting and status information once the diagnostic has completed. The "Busy" return code indicates that the method cannot be invoked "at this time". It is not an error condition, but signals that the provider is doing something else and cannot respond.
