CIM_SettingsAffectSettings Superclass: CIM_Dependency
CIM_SettingsAffectSettings is used to define a relationship between two CIM_SettingData instances where the utilization of one CIM_SettingData has a causal relationship to the applicability or utilization of another CIM_SettingData instance. This class may be used to indicate that applying the Antecedent SettingData to one ManagedElement will result in another ManagedElement having the configuration specified by the Dependent SettingData. It may also be used with the SettingsDefineCapabilities association to indicate that applying the Antecedent SettingData to one ManagedElement will change the capabilities of another to those of the Dependent SettingData.

uint16 Affect ;
Indicates the relationship between the Antecedent and the Dependent SettingData instances.
Given CIM_ManagedElement ME1 associated with CIM_SettingData SD1 and CIM_ManagedElement ME2 associated with CIM_SettingData SD2 where SD1 is the value of the Antecedent property of an instance of CIM_SettingsAffectSettings and SD2 is the value of the Dependent property of the instance. A value of 2 shall indicate that when each property of ME1 has the value of the corresponding non-null property of SD1, each property of ME2 shall have the value of the corresponding non-null property of SD2.
A value of 3 shall indicate that when each property of ME1 has the value of the corresponding non-null property of SD1, each property of ME2 may have the value of the corresponding non-null property of SD2.
It is only necessary for the properties of ME1 to have the values of the corresponding properties of SD1. It is not required that SD1 be explicitly applied (CIM_ElementSettingData.IsCurrent = 1 'Is Current').
Determination of correspondence between properties is CIM_ManagedElement and CIM_SettingData sub-class specific.
