Class CIM_RegisteredProfile
extends CIM_ManagedElement

A RegisteredProfile describes a set of CIM Schema classes with required properties and/or methods, necessary to manage a real-world entity or to support a usage scenario, in an interoperable fashion. RegisteredProfiles can be defined by the DMTF or other standards organizations. Note that this class should not be confused with CIM_Profile, which collects SettingData instances, to be applied as a 'configuration profile' for an element. A RegisteredProfile is a named 'standard' for CIM-based management of a particular System, subsystem, Service or other entity, for a specified set of uses. It is a complete, standalone definition, as opposed to the subclass RegisteredSubProfile, which requires a scoping profile for context. The uses for a RegisteredProfile or SubProfile MUST be specified in the document that defines the profile. Examples of Profiles are to manage various aspects of an Operating System, Storage Array, or Database. The name of the profile is defined and scoped by its authoring organization.

Local Class Properties

NameData TypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValueScopeFlavors
Captionstring
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3264None None
Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringA 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 ManagedSystemElement's Name property 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 MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.None TRANSLATABLE= true
InstanceIDstring
DescriptionstringWithin the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order 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 creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This 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 organizational entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.None TRANSLATABLE= true

OtherRegisteredOrganizationstring
DescriptionstringA free-form string providing a description of the organization when 1, "Other", is specified for the RegisteredOrganization.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint32256None None
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_RegisteredProfile.RegisteredOrganizationNone None
RegisteredNamestring
DescriptionstringThe name of this registered profile. Since multiple versions can exist for the same RegisteredName, the combination of RegisteredName, RegisteredOrganization, and RegisteredVersion MUST uniquely identify the registered profile within the scope of the organization.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint32256None None

RegisteredVersionstring
DescriptionstringThe version of this profile. The string representing the version MUST be in the form: M + "." + N + "." + U Where: M - The major version (in numeric form) describing the profile's creation or last modification. N - The minor version (in numeric form) describing the profile's creation or last modification. U - The update (e.g. errata, patch, ..., in numeric form) describing the profile's creation or last modification.None TRANSLATABLE= true
RequiredbooleantrueNone OVERRIDABLE= false
AdvertiseTypeDescriptionsstring[]
ArrayTypestringIndexedNone OVERRIDABLE= false
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.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_RegisteredProfile.AdvertiseTypesNone None
AdvertiseTypesuint16[]
ArrayTypestringIndexedNone OVERRIDABLE= false
DescriptionstringThis property signifies the advertisement for the profile information. 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 profile MAY be advertised using several mechanisms. Note: If this property is null/uninitialized, this is equivalent to specifying the value 2, "Not Advertised".None TRANSLATABLE= true
