Members

The CIM_Capabilities class has these types of members:

• Properties

Properties

The CIM_Capabilities class has these properties.

ElementName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Required, Override ("ElementName")

The user friendly name for this class instance. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as an index property for a query. This value does not have to be unique within its namespace.

InstanceID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key, Override ("InstanceID")

Uniquely and opaquely identifies an instance of this class within the scope of the containing namespace.

Important

In order to ensure uniqueness within the namespace, the value of the InstanceID property should be constructed in the following pattern: OrgID:LocalID

OrgID must include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that defines the InstanceID, or be a registered ID that is assigned by a recognized global authority. This pattern is similar to the structure of schema class names. In addition, to ensure uniqueness, the first colon in InstanceID must be between the OrgID andLocalID. Therefore the OrgID must not contain a colon (':').

LocalID is chosen by the business entity and should not be re-used to identify different underlying real-world elements.

If the above pattern is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resultant InstanceID value is not re-used across any InstanceID properties that are produced by this provider or other providers for this namespace.

For Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) defined instances, the pattern must be used with the OrgID set to CIM.
