CIM_FileImportService Superclass: CIM_Service
Provides configuration support for importing and hosting FileShares exported from other ComputerSystems. FileImportService is the base class managing the client-side application in a client-server-based shared file system. A FileImportService is hosted by a ComputerSystem and supports 'mounting' (binding to a name in a local namespace) a FileSystem element or a FileShare element exported by a remote ComputerSystem host. Specifically this local name will be a LogicalFile sub-element of a FileSystem hosted by the local ComputerSystem. The relationship between the mount-point and the Share is represented by a CIM_ImportedShare association.
The FileSystem required here only needs to support a namespace for a LogicalFile (it need not support the full complexity of a LocalFileSystem, for instance, real storage). The namespace could be constructed using any provider-specific algorithm - if it is based on LocalFileSystem, it would be configured by a FileSystemConfigurationService, hosted by the same ComputerSystem, on a StorageExtent, also hosted by that ComputerSystem.
The remote Share is identified by a durable Id - this is a string that represents a path that uniquely identifies the remote Share.

An integer that indicates the time (in seconds) that the provider must wait before releasing this FileShare. If WaitTime is not zero, the method will create a job, if supported by the provider, and return immediately. If the provider does not support asynchronous jobs, there is a possibility that the client could time-out before the job is completed.

Start a Job to release an imported FileShare.
If 0 is returned, the method completed successfully and no ConcreteJob instance was required. If 0x1000 is returned, a ConcreteJob will be started to release the Share. The Job's reference will be returned in the OUT parameter Job.
If the method is successful, the FileShare element will not be imported anymore. This method cannot be called if the FileShare element is also being exported - the FileExportService.ReleaseExportedShare method must be called first.
If InUseOptions are specified, this method will succeed only if no more clients are accessing the share.

The client-specified requirements for how the import settings for the specified FileShare element are to be modifed by the FileImportService. This operation cannot be performed on a FileShare that not already imported (implying that it is currently only exported). Goal is an element of the CIM_ImportedFileShareSetting class, or a derived class, encoded as a string-valued embedded object parameter. If NULL or the empty string, the existing configuration must include an ImportedFileShareSetting which may be unchanged. Any differences in property values will be resolved by the FileImportService and CIM_Errors generated if appropriate.

An integer that indicates the time (in seconds) that the provider must wait before executing this request if it cannot be made while the share is in use. If WaitTime is not zero, the method will create a job, if supported by the provider, and return immediately. If the provider does not support asynchronous jobs, there is a possibility that the client could time-out before the job is completed.

An array of references to RemotePorts that this Share may use to connect to the remote Share, if the CIM_ImportedFileShareSettings.AccessPoints property is set to 'Named Ports'.
The array will be processed in index order and added to the existing set of RemotePorts. If the array is NULL, the existing set will not be changed. If an entry in the array is NULL, all access points supported by the remote share will be surfaced as RemotePorts and made available. If the array is empty, no access points will be made available, and existing access points will be disabled.

Start a Job to modify an imported share.
If 0 is returned, the method completed successfully and no ConcreteJob instance was required. If 0x1000 is returned, a ConcreteJob will be started to modify the Share. The Job's Reference will be returned in the OUT parameter Job.
If the Job succeeds, the FileShare will be modified and re-configured and ready to be enabled. A reference to the FileShare will be returned in TheShare. The FileShare will have a HostedShare association to the host ComputerSystem, as before.
This method MUST return a CIM_Error representing that a single named property of a setting (or other) parameter (either reference or embedded object) has an invalid value or that an invalid combination of named properties of a setting (or other) parameter (either reference or embedded object) has been requested.
This method cannot be used to change the remotely shared entity or the mount point in the local namespace, but a provider may support changing the pathname to the mount-point by specifying Root and/or MountPointPath. The reference parameter Root indicates the FileSystem or FileShare whose element provides the mount-point, either directly, or indirectly by specifying a Directory element that is associated via MountedElement to the FileSystem or FileShare. The FileSystem or FileShare so indicated cannot be changed by this method.
The parameter MountPointPath indicates the mount-point element within the file hierarchy by a path relative to the Root. If the Root is a FileSystem, this path begins at the root directory of the FileSystem; if the Root is a FileShare, this path begins at the directory associated to the FileShare via MountedElement; if the Root is a Directory, this path begins at that Directory. If this path is modified, it must still indicate the same terminal element.
Goal is a CIM_ImportedFileShareSetting element encoded as a string-valued embedded object parameter; this allows the client to specify the properties desired for the share.
If the method is successful, it will return a reference to the same CIM_FileShare in the INOUT parameter TheShare. The settings for the FileShare and the ServiceAccessPoint associations may change, but the HostedShare and ServiceAffectsElement associations to the share must not be changed by this method.
The input TheShare must not be NULL.

Start a Job to import a share exported by a remote host.
If 0 is returned, the method completed successfully and no ConcreteJob instance was required. If 0x1000 is returned, a ConcreteJob will be started to import the Share. The Job's Reference will be returned in the OUT parameter Job.
If the method is successful, a CIM_FileShare will be created, hosted (via CIM_HostedShare) by the ComputerSystem host of this service. A reference to the FileShare will be returned in TheShare. The created FileShare will be mounted on a local mount-point (possibly a file/directory of a local file system) with the CIM_ImportedShare association.
This method MUST return a CIM_Error representing that a single named property of a setting (or other) parameter (either reference or embedded object) has an invalid value or that an invalid combination of named properties of a setting (or other) parameter (either reference or embedded object) has been requested.
The remote Share is specified by the IN parameter TheRemote, which can be either a CIM_FileShare or a CIM_FileSystem and therefore is typed as a CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.
Goal is a CIM_ImportedFileShareSetting element encoded as a string-valued EmbeddedInstance; this allows the client to specify the properties desired for the share.
The associated CIM_HostedShare.RemoteWWN property will hold the name of TheRemote file share.

uint32StopService()
The StopService method places the Service in the stopped state. Note that the function of this method overlaps with the RequestedState property. RequestedState was added to the model to maintain a record (such as a persisted value) of the last state request. Invoking the StopService method should set the RequestedState property appropriately. The method returns an integer value of 0 if the Service was successfully stopped, 1 if the request is not supported, and any other number to indicate an error. In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be specified using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are translated can also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.

Note: The semantics of this method overlap with the RequestStateChange method that is inherited from EnabledLogicalElement. This method is maintained because it has been widely implemented, and its simple 'stop' semantics are convenient to use.

uint16 RequestedState = 12 ;
RequestedState is an integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ('Not Applicable'), then this property has no meaning. By default, the RequestedState of the element is 5 ('No Change'). Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.
Offline (6) indicates that the element has been requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are 'Reboot' (10) and 'Reset' (11). Reboot refers to doing a 'Shut Down' and then moving to an 'Enabled' state. Reset indicates that the element is first 'Disabled' and then 'Enabled'. The distinction between requesting 'Shut Down' and 'Disabled' should also be noted. Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and might involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or processing requests.

This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.

A particular instance of EnabledLogicalElement might not support RequestedStateChange. If this occurs, the value 12 ('Not Applicable') is used.

OperatingStatus consists of one of the following values: Unknown, Not Available, In Service, Starting, Stopping, Stopped, Aborted, Dormant, Completed, Migrating, Emmigrating, Immigrating, Snapshotting. Shutting Down, In Test
A Null return indicates the implementation (provider) does not implement this property.
'Unknown' indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning this property, but is unable to do so at this time.
'None' indicates that the implementation (provider) is capable of returning a value for this property, but not ever for this particular piece of hardware/software or the property is intentionally not used because it adds no meaningful information (as in the case of a property that is intended to add additional info to another property).
'In Service' describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
'Starting' describes an element being initialized.
'Stopping' describes an element being brought to an orderly stop.
'Stopped' and 'Aborted' are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated.
'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
'Completed' indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded in the PrimaryStatus so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).

EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled and disabled states:
Enabled (2) indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.
Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.
Not Applicable (5) indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled.
Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element might be completing commands, and will drop any new requests.
Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state.
Deferred (8) indicates that the element might be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode.
Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.

DetailedStatus compliments PrimaryStatus with additional status detail. It consists of one of the following values: Not Available, No Additional Information, Stressed, Predictive Failure, Error, Non-Recoverable Error, SupportingEntityInError. Detailed status is used to expand upon the PrimaryStatus of the element.

'Not Available' indicates that the implementation (provider) is capable of returning a value for this property, but not ever for this particular piece of hardware/software or the property is intentionally not used because it adds no meaningful information (as in the case of a property that is intended to add additional info to another property).
'No Additional Information' indicates that the element is functioning normally as indicated by PrimaryStatus = 'OK'.
'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, and so on.
'Predictive Failure' indicates that an element is functioning normally but a failure is predicted in the near future.
'Non-Recoverable Error ' indicates that this element is in an error condition that requires human intervention.
'Supporting Entity in Error' indicates that this element might be 'OK' but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.

CommunicationStatus indicates the ability of the instrumentation to communicate with the underlying ManagedElement. CommunicationStatus consists of one of the following values: Unknown, None, Communication OK, Lost Communication, or No Contact.
A Null return indicates the implementation (provider) does not implement this property.
'Unknown' indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning this property, but is unable to do so at this time.
'Not Available' indicates that the implementation (provider) is capable of returning a value for this property, but not ever for this particular piece of hardware/software or the property is intentionally not used because it adds no meaningful information (as in the case of a property that is intended to add additional info to another property).
'Communication OK ' indicates communication is established with the element, but does not convey any quality of service.
'No Contact' indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
'Lost Communication' indicates that the Managed Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.

uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ;
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more detail.
'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, and so on.
'Predictive Failure' indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
'In Service' describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
'No Contact' indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
'Lost Communication' indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
'Stopped' and 'Aborted' are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated.
'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
'Supporting Entity in Error' indicates that this element might be 'OK' but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
'Completed' indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
'Power Mode' indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

string StatusDescriptions [ ] ;
Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if 'Stopping' is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.

Deprecated { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" }
string Status ;
A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons:
1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.
2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.

datetime InstallDate ;
A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

uint16 HealthState ;
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined:
'Non-recoverable Error' (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
'Critical Failure' (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible.
'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some might be degraded.
'Degraded/Warning' (10) - The element is in working order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors.
'OK' (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error.
'Unknown' (0) - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.
string ElementName ;
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.
Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.

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