Class CIM_ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism
extends CIM_ServiceAccessPoint

ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism is deprecated. This class combined the concept of capabilities and accesspoint, but did not model the types of access properly. The new model uses CIM_ProtocolService, CIM_ServiceAccessPoint and Capabilities to describe the information. The class, ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism, describes access to an ObjectManager. It describes a protocol and data encoding that can be used for communication. When all instances of this class are enumerated for an ObjectManager (using the CommMechanismForManager association), all possible protocol and encoding schemes will be known. Also, specific capabilities (for example, basic read or query) that are supported in the protocol/encoding are described - using the ProfilesSupported property.

Versionstring
DeprecatedstringCIM_CIMXMLCapabilities.WBEMProtocolVersionsSupported
DescriptionstringProvides the protocol version for this service access point. Version information MUST be in the form of M.N, where M is a numeric that describes the Major version and N is a numeric that describes the minor version.

DeprecatedstringNo value
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.

DeprecatedstringNo value
DescriptionstringThis property signifies the advertisement for this access point. . 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 communicationMechansim MAY be advertised using several mechanisms. Note: If this property is null/uninitialized, this is equivalent to specifying the value 2, "Not Advertised".
