Class CIM_ProtocolService
extends CIM_Service

ProtocolService represents represents an application layer service available on a hosting system. Often times, the service name reflects the employed/supported communication protocol (e.g. file transfer - FTP), however in some other cases it does not. (e.g. mail notification service - biff). Access to the service is modeled with one or more instances of ProtocolEndpoint. This class represents the availability of the function on the system. Issuing a stop to this instance is equivalent to disabling the functionality and making it unavailable to users. Thus a stop of this service will result in the removing of all ProtocolEndpoints which are associated with the instance via ServicAccessBySAP. The functionality can be made available again by issuing a start to the service. This class contains service definitions which are currently needed. Future extensions are expected.

ListenOnPort (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (ListenOnPort)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringCreate a CIM_TCPProtocoEndpoint instance and associate it with this CIM_ProtocolService instance via an instance of CIM_ServiceAccessBySAP. The newly created instance of CIM_TCPProtocolEndpoint will be for the port specified. When the CIM_IPProtocolEndpoint is not specified, the method will create an instance of CIM_HostedAccessPoint which associates the newly created CIM_TCPProtocolEndpoint instance with the instance of CIM_ComputerSystem with which this instance is associated via an instance of CIM_HostedService (the scoping system) It will also create instances of CIM_BindsTo which associate the created CIM_TCPProtocolEndpoint with each instance CIM_IPProtocolEndpoint which is associated with the scoping system. When an instance of CIM_IPProtocolEndpoint is specified, the CIM_HostedAccessPoint will associate the CIM_TCPProtocolEndpoint with the same instance which is associated with the CIM_IPProtocolEndpoint. In addition, the implementation will create a single instance of CIM_BindsTo that associates the CIM_TCPProtocolEndpoint with the specified instance of CIM_IPProtocolEndpoint. For each instance of CIM_BindsTo created by this method, the value of the Dependent property will be a reference to the newly created instance of CIM_TCPProtocolEndpoint. An extrinsic method is required in order to provide atomic creation of multiple, related instances. Prior to creating the instances, the implementation will verify that a CIM_TCPProtocolEndpoint instance can be created and associated with this instance.
