CIM_SoftwareInstallationServiceCapabilities Superclass: CIM_Capabilities
A subclass of capabilities that defines the capabilities of a SoftwareInstallationService. A single instance of SoftwareInstallationServiceCapabilities is associated with a SoftwareInstallationService using ElementCapabilities.
Qualifiers:Experimental Version ( "2.10.0" )
Parameters (local in grey)
Values { "Unknown" , "Not Applicable" , "Linux RPM" , "HP-UX Depot" , "Windows MSI" , "Solaris Package" , "Macintosh Disk Image" , "Debian linux Package" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Reserved" }
Required
ValueMap { "0" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9..0x7FFF" , "0x8000.." }
uint16 SupportedExtendedResourceTypes [ ] ;
An array containing a list of the binary format types that this service 'knows' how to install. The Values for this property are the subset of CIM_SoftwareIdentityResource.ExtendedResourceTypes that apply to the 'Installer and Payload', 'Installer' and ' Installability Checker' ResourceTypes. For example, an a Windows system, this property may be set to '4' indicating 'Windows MSI'. This property should be set to '2' (Not Applicable) if this service is not OS specific.
Values { "None supported" , "Install From Software Identity" , "Install from ByteStream" , "Install from URI" }
Required
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_SoftwareInstallationServiceCapabilities.SupportedAsynchronousActions" }
ValueMap { "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" }
uint16 SupportedSynchronousActions [ ] ;
Enumeration indicating what operations will be executed without the creation of a job. If an operation is included in both this and SupportedAsynchronousActions then the underlying instrumentation is indicating that it may or may not create a job.
Required
boolean CanAddToCollection ;
This property indicates whether SoftwareInstallationService.InstallFromSoftwareIdentity supports adding a SoftwareIdentity to a SoftwareIdentityCollection.
Required
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_SoftwareIdentity.TargetType" }
string SupportedTargetTypes [ ] ;
An array containing a list of SoftwareIdentity.TargetType properties that this service 'knows' how to install. TargetType is an application specific string which is invariant across version or name changes of the SoftwareIdentity and so can be used by a client to select Software Identities compatible with this service.
If the service is generic (for example an OS installer), this array will be empty.
Values { "None supported" , "Install From Software Identity" , "Install from ByteStream" , "Install from URI" }
Required
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_SoftwareInstallationServiceCapabilities.SupportedSynchronousActions" }
ValueMap { "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" }
uint16 SupportedAsynchronousActions [ ] ;
Enumeration indicating what operations will be executed as asynchronous jobs. If an operation is included in both this and SupportedSynchronousActions then the underlying implementation is indicating that it may or may not create a job. If a Job is created, then the methods in SoftwareInstallationService return a reference to that Job as the Job parameter.
Required
Override ( "ElementName" )
string ElementName ;
The user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as a index property for a search of query. (Note: Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.)
Key
string InstanceID ;
Within 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 business 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'.
MaxLen ( 64 )
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.
