These parameters may be passed " "to the method, diretly used by the method in its invocation, " "or accessed by the method when it is called. The properties " "of a concrete subclass of MethodParameters are mapped to the " "parameters of a method by the method itself or by the method " "caller. This is an implementation detail independent of the " "definition of the class. For ease of use, property names " "should match parameter names. \n" " Property values should be set before the method is invoked. " "The ModelCorrespondence qualifier can be used to indicate " "if the property value should come from another class's property. " "The instances that the property values should be gleaned from " "should be associated with MethodParameters using the Parameter" "ValueSources association. If the property is declared as an " "array, then the same property value (identified by the Model" "Correspondence) will be retrieved from all appropriate " "ParameterValueSources instances and stored in the array. If " "the property is declared as an array and the Model" "Correspondence is to an array property, then only one instance " "of the array will be copied from one ParameterValueSource. " "If the property is not declared as an array and there are " "multiple instances of the class and property associated with " "it through ModelCorrespondence where the values are not all " "the same, then an error will occur and the property's value " "will not be set. Several MethodParameters instances can be " "associated with any ManagedElement's methods. This allows the " "maintenance of 'canned' method invocation and reduces the " "overhead of recreating all method parameters for every method " "invocation.") ] class CIM_MethodParameters : CIM_ManagedElement { [Maxlen (256) , Description ( "The identifier by which the MethodParameters object is " "known.") ] string MethodParametersId; [Description ( "The resetValues method updates the values of the properties " "of MethodParameters which have ModelCorrespondence to the " "SourceME ManagedElement.
