Field Detail

### ElementName

    public string ElementName

  General Information:
  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.

    public string Caption

  General Information:
  The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
  Qualifiers:
  -------------
  MaxLen=64

### InstanceID

    public string InstanceID

  General Information:
  InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined below.
  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 that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement 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 reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If not null and the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance.
  If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.

  -------------
  MaxLen=256

### InstallDate

    public datetime InstallDate

  General Information:
  A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

  MappingStrings={MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5}

### Name

    public string Name

  General Information:
  The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.

  MaxLen=1024

### OperationalStatus

    public uint16[] OperationalStatus

  General Information:
  Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more detail.
  "Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and so on.
  "Predictive Failure" indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
  "In Service" describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
  "No Contact" indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
  "Lost Communication" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
  "Stopped" and "Aborted" are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated.
  "Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
  "Supporting Entity in Error" indicates that this element might be "OK" but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
  "Completed" indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
  "Power Mode" indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
  OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

### StatusDescriptions

    public string[] StatusDescriptions

  General Information:
  Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if "Stopping" is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.

### Status

    public string Status

  General Information:
  A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons:
  1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.
  2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
  3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.

### HealthState

    public uint16 HealthState

  General Information:
  Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined:
  "Non-recoverable Error" (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
  "Critical Failure" (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible.
  "Major Failure" (20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
  "Minor Failure" (15) - All functionality is available but some might be degraded.
  "Degraded/Warning" (10) - The element is in working order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors.
  "OK" (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error.
  "Unknown" (0) - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
  DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.

### JobStatus

    public string JobStatus

  General Information:
  A free-form string that represents the status of the job. The primary status is reflected in the inherited OperationalStatus property. JobStatus provides additional, implementation-specific details.
  Qualifiers:
  -------------
  ModelCorrespondence={CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus}
  MaxLen=256

### TimeSubmitted

    public datetime TimeSubmitted

  General Information:
  The time that the Job was submitted to execute. A value of all zeroes indicates that the owning element is not capable of reporting a date and time. Therefore, the ScheduledStartTime and StartTime are reported as intervals relative to the time their values are requested.

### ScheduledStartTime

    public datetime ScheduledStartTime

  General Information:
  The time that the current Job is scheduled to start. This time can be represented by the actual date and time, or an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all zeroes indicates that the Job is already executing. The property is deprecated in lieu of the more expressive scheduling properties, RunMonth, RunDay, RunDayOfWeek, and RunStartInterval.
  Qualifiers:
  -------------
  Deprecated={CIM_Job.RunMonth, CIM_Job.RunDay, CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek, CIM_Job.RunStartInterval}
  Write

### StartTime

    public datetime StartTime

  General Information:
  The time that the Job was actually started. This time can be represented by an actual date and time, or by an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This class is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, because only the 'last' run time can be stored in this single-valued property.

### ElapsedTime

    public datetime ElapsedTime

  General Information:
  The time interval that the Job has been executing or the total execution time if the Job is complete. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This class is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, because only the 'last' run time can be stored in this single-valued property.

### JobRunTimes

    public uint32 JobRunTimes

  General Information:
  The number of times that the Job should be run. A value of 1 indicates that the Job is not recurring, while any non-zero value indicates a limit to the number of times that the Job will recur. Zero indicates that there is no limit to the number of times that the Job can be processed, but that it is terminated either after the UntilTime or by manual intervention. By default, a Job is processed once.

  ValueMap={0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
  Values={January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December}
  ModelCorrespondence={CIM_Job.RunDay, CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek, CIM_Job.RunStartInterval}

### RunDay

    public sint8 RunDay

  General Information:
  The day in the month on which the Job should be processed. There are two different interpretations for this property, depending on the value of DayOfWeek. In one case, RunDay defines the day-in-month on which the Job is processed. This interpretation is used when the DayOfWeek is 0. A positive or negative integer indicates whether the RunDay should be calculated from the beginning or end of the month. For example, 5 indicates the fifth day in the RunMonth and -1 indicates the last day in the RunMonth.
  When RunDayOfWeek is not 0, RunDay is the day-in-month on which the Job is processed, defined in conjunction with RunDayOfWeek. For example, if RunDay is 15 and RunDayOfWeek is Saturday, then the Job is processed on the first Saturday on or after the 15th day in the RunMonth (for example, the third Saturday in the month). If RunDay is 20 and RunDayOfWeek is -Saturday, then this indicates the first Saturday on or before the 20th day in the RunMonth. If RunDay is -1 and RunDayOfWeek is -Sunday, then this indicates the last Sunday in the RunMonth.

### RunDayOfWeek

    public sint8 RunDayOfWeek

  General Information:
  A positive or negative integer used in conjunction with RunDay to indicate the day of the week on which the Job is processed. RunDayOfWeek is set to 0 to indicate an exact day of the month, such as March 1. A positive integer (representing Sunday, Monday, ..., Saturday) means that the day of week is found on or after the specified RunDay. A negative integer (representing -Sunday, -Monday, ..., -Saturday) means that the day of week is found on or BEFORE the RunDay.

### RunStartInterval

    public datetime RunStartInterval

  General Information:
  The time interval after midnight when the Job should be processed. For example,
  00000000020000.000000:000
  indicates that the Job should be run on or after two o'clock, local time or UTC time (distinguished using the LocalOrUtcTime property.

  ModelCorrespondence={CIM_Job.RunMonth, CIM_Job.RunDay, CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek, CIM_Job.RunStartInterval}

### LocalOrUtcTime

    public uint16 LocalOrUtcTime

  General Information:
  This property indicates whether the times represented in the RunStartInterval and UntilTime properties represent local times or UTC times. Time values are synchronized worldwide by using the enumeration value 2, "UTC Time".
  Qualifiers:
  -------------
  Write
  ValueMap={1, 2}
  Values={Local Time, UTC Time}

### UntilTime

    public datetime UntilTime

  General Information:
  The time after which the Job is invalid or should be stopped. This time can be represented by an actual date and time, or by an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all nines indicates that the Job can run indefinitely.

### Priority

    public uint32 Priority

  General Information:
  Indicates the urgency or importance of execution of the Job. The lower the number, the higher the priority. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This class is necessary to capture the setting information that would influence the results of a job.
  Qualifiers:
  -------------
  Write

### PercentComplete

    public uint16 PercentComplete

  General Information:
  The percentage of the job that has completed at the time that this value is requested. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This class is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, because only the 'last' run data can be stored in this single-valued property.
  Note that the value 101 is undefined and will be not be allowed in the next major revision of the specification.

### DeleteOnCompletion

    public boolean DeleteOnCompletion

  General Information:
  Indicates whether or not the job should be automatically deleted upon completion. Note that the 'completion' of a recurring job is defined by its JobRunTimes or UntilTime properties, or when the Job is terminated by manual intervention. If this property is set to false and the job completes, then the extrinsic method DeleteInstance must be used to delete the job instead of updating this property.
  Qualifiers:
  -------------
  Write

### ErrorCode

    public uint16 ErrorCode

  General Information:
  A vendor-specific error code. The value must be set to zero if the Job completed without error. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This class is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, because only the 'last' run error can be stored in this single-valued property.
  Qualifiers:
  -------------

  0 = "Unknown", meaning it is unknown as to what recovery action to take
  1 = "Other", indicating that the recovery action will be specified in the OtherRecoveryAction property
  2 = "Do Not Continue", meaning stop the execution of the job and appropriately update its status
  3 = "Continue With Next Job", meaning continue with the next job in the queue
  4 = "Re-run Job", indicating that the job should be re-run
  5 = "Run Recovery Job", meaning run the Job associated using the RecoveryJob relationship. Note that the recovery Job must already be in the queue from which it will run.
