CIM_ScopedSettingData class

The CIM_ScopedSettingData class is an abstract classed used to define settings data for a managed element.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Syntax

[UMLPackagePath("CIM::Core::Settings"), Abstract, Version("2.10.0"), AMENDMENT]
class CIM_ScopedSettingData : CIM_SettingData
{
  string Caption;
  string Description;
  string ElementName;
  string InstanceID;
};

Properties

The CIM_ScopedSettingData class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

The Description property provides a textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

ElementName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Required

The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition, the user-friendly name can be used as an index property for a search or query. (Note: The name does not have to be unique within a namespace.)

This property is inherited from CIM_SettingData.

InstanceID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: key

Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following "preferred" algorithm:

<OrgID>:<LocalID>

Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.

<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance.

For DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.

This property is inherited from CIM_SettingData.
