# Class CIM_VendorPolicyAction
extends CIM_PolicyAction

A class that provides a general extension mechanism for representing PolicyActions that have not been modeled with specific properties. Instead, the two properties ActionData and ActionEncoding are used to define the content and format of the Action, as explained below. As its name suggests, VendorPolicyAction is intended for vendor-specific extensions to the Policy Core Information Model. Standardized extensions are not expected to use this class.

Name | Data Type | Value
ActionEncoding | string |
Description | string | An OID encoded as a string, identifying the format and semantics for this instance's ActionData property.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_VendorPolicyAction.ActionData
ActionData | string[] |
Description | string | This property provides a general extension mechanism for representing PolicyActions that have not been modeled with specific properties. The format of the octet strings in the array is left unspecified in this definition. It is determined by the OID value stored in the property ActionEncoding. Since ActionEncoding is single-valued, all the values of ActionData share the same format and semantics.
