CIM_OSVersionCheck Superclass: CIM_Check
The OSVersionCheck class specifies the versions of the operating system that can support/execute this Software Element. The operating system itself (whose version should be validated) is defined in the TargetOperatingSystem property of the Check's scoping SoftwareElement.
This Check can be for a specific, minimum, maximum or a range of releases of an OS. To identify a specific version of the OS, the minimum and maximum versions must be the same. To specify a minimum, only the minimum version needs to be defined. To specify a maximum version, only the maximum version needs to be defined. To specify a range, both minimum and maximum versions need to be defined.
The data gathered from the Check and SoftwareElement objects are compared with the corresponding details found in the CIM_OperatingSystem object (referenced by the InstalledOS association), for the CIM_ComputerSystem object that defines the environment. The OSType property of CIM_OperatingSystem must match the value of CIM_SoftwareElement.TargetOperating System. Also, the OS' version information should be within the range of CIM_OSVersionCheck.Minimum/MaximumValue properties. Note that all the operating systems on the relevant computer do not need to satisfy the Check.

Propagated ( "CIM_SoftwareElement.TargetOperatingSystem" )
Key
uint16 TargetOperatingSystem ;
The Target Operating System of the SoftwareElement being checked.
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" }
Values { "Deployable" , "Installable" , "Executable" , "Running" }
Propagated ( "CIM_SoftwareElement.SoftwareElementState" )
Key
uint16 SoftwareElementState ;
The SoftwareElementState of the SoftwareElement being checked.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Propagated ( "CIM_SoftwareElement.SoftwareElementID" )
Key
string SoftwareElementID ;
This is an identifier for the SoftwareElement being checked.
uint32InvokeOnSystem(
Reference to ComputerSystem in whose context the method is to be invoked.
Qualifiers:IN
CIM_ComputerSystem ref TargetSystem
)
The InvokeOnSystem method evaluates this Check. The details of the evaluation are described by the specific subclasses of CIM_Check. The method's TargetSystem input parameter specifies the ComputerSystem in whose context the method is invoked.
The results of the InvokeOnSystem method are based on the return value. A zero is returned if the condition is satisfied. A one is returned if the method is not supported. Any other value indicates the condition is not satisfied.
MaxLen ( 64 )
Propagated ( "CIM_SoftwareElement.Version" )
Key
string Version ;
The version of the SoftwareElement being checked.
uint32Invoke()
The Invoke method evaluates this Check. The details of the evaluation are described by the specific subclasses of CIM_Check. When the SoftwareElement being checked is already installed, the CIM_InstalledSoftwareElement association identifies the CIM_ComputerSystem in whose context the Invoke is executed. If this association is not in place, then the InvokeOnSystem method should be used - since it identifies the TargetSystem as an input parameter of the method.
The results of the Invoke method are based on the return value. A zero is returned if the condition is satisfied. A one is returned if the method is not supported. Any other value indicates the condition is not satisfied.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string CheckID ;
An identifier used in conjunction with other keys to uniquely identify the Check.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Propagated ( "CIM_SoftwareElement.Name" )
Key
string Name ;
The name used to identify the SoftwareElement that is being checked.
boolean CheckMode ;
The CheckMode property is used to indicate whether the condition is expected to exist or not exist in the environment. When the value is True, the condition is expected to exist (e.g., a file is expected to be on a system), so the Invoke methods are expected to return True. When the value is False, the condition is not expected to exist (e.g., a file is not to be on a system), so the Invoke methods are expected to return False.
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.
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.
