Class CIM_RegisteredProfile
extends CIM_RegisteredSpecification

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.

ImplementedFeatures	string[]		Description	string	Profiles 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)

Name	Type	Qualifiers
Name	Type	Name	Data Type	Value
ContinueOnError	boolean
ContinueOnError	boolean	Description	string	TRUE 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.
EndOfSequence	boolean
		Description	string	The 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.
		IN	boolean	false
		OUT	boolean	true
EnumerationContext	string
		Description	string	The 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.
		IN	boolean	false
		OUT	boolean	true
MaxObjectCount	uint32
MaxObjectCount	uint32	Description	string	The 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.
OperationTimeout	uint32
OperationTimeout	uint32	Description	string	The 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.
ResultClass	string
ResultClass	string	Description	string	NULL, 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.
IncludedPropertyList	string[]
IncludedPropertyList	string[]	Description	string	NULL, or unordered set of property names, acting as a restricting filter on the properties included in the returned instance. An empty list specifies to return no properties. The instance path shall always be returned.
InstanceType	uint16[]
		ArrayType	string	Indexed
		Description	string	On successful completion, an array corresponding to the InstanceWithPathList that indicates whether the entry is a scoping instance, a central instance, or both.
		IN	boolean	false
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_RegisteredProfile.OpenConformantInstances(InstanceWithPathList)
		OUT	boolean	true
		ValueMap	string	2, 3, 4, ..
		Values	string	Central Instance, Scoping Instance, Central and Scoping Instance, DMTF Reserved
InstanceWithPathList	string[]
		ArrayType	string	Indexed
		Description	string	On successful completion, an correlated, but unordered set of the enumerated instances and their addresses, with a number of entries from 0, up to a maximum defined by MaxObjectCount, that meet the criteria defined in the Open operation that established this enumeration session. Note that returning no entries in the array does not imply that the enumeration session has been exhausted. Only the EndOfSequence output parameter indicates whether the enumeration session has been exhausted.

EndOfSequence	boolean
		Description	string	The EndOfSequence output parameter indicates to the CIM Client whether the enumeration session is exhausted. If EndOfSequence is true upon successful completion of this method, no more elements are available and the enumeration session shall be closed, releasing any possibly allocated resources related to the enumeration session. If EndOfSequence is false, there may be additional elements available and enumeration session shall be remain open unless there is an error in which case, ContinueOnError governs whether or not the session is closed or not.

		Description	string	The EnumerationContext parameter is the enumeration context value representing the enumeration session to be used. On input, it shall be the EnumerationContext ouput value from the previous invocation of OpenConformantInstances or PullConformantInstances within an open enumeration session.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.
