Class CIM_Action
extends CIM_ManagedElement

A CIM_Action is an operation that is part of a process to either create a SoftwareElement in its next state or to eliminate the SoftwareElement in its current state. A CIM_ComputerSystem object represents the environment in which CIM_SoftwareElements are already deployed/installed or into which the elements will be deployed/installed. For the case in which an element is already installed, the CIM_InstalledSoftwareElement association identifies the CIM_ComputerSystem object that represents the "environment". When a SoftwareElement is being deployed for installation on a ComputerSystem, that system is the target of the Action and is identified using the TargetSystem reference of the InvokeOnSystem method.
