| Description | string | The Setting class represents configuration-related and operational parameters for one or more ManagedSystemElements. An Element can have multiple Setting objects associated with it. The current operational values for the parameters of an Element are reflected by properties in the Element itself or by properties in its associations. These properties do not have to be the same values present in the Setting object. For example, a modem might have a Setting baud rate of 56Kb/sec but be operating at 19.2Kb/sec.
Note: The CIM_SettingData class is very similar to CIM_Setting, yet both classes are present in the model because many implementations have successfully used CIM_Setting. However, issues have arisen that could not be resolved without defining a new class. Therefore, until a new major release occurs, both classes will exist in the model. Refer to the Core White Paper for additional information. Setting instances can be aggregated together into higher-level Setting objects using ConcreteComponent associations. |
