DeleteClass CIM Operation

Additional Information

The DeleteClass method deletes a single CIM Class from the target Namespace.

NameSpace The nameSpace parameter is a string that defines the target namespace.

ClassName The className input parameter defines the name of the Class to be deleted.

If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes MUST be returned by this method, where the first applicable error in the list (starting with the first element of the list, and working down) is the error returned. Any additional method-specific interpretation of the error in is given in parentheses.

CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER (including missing, duplicate, unrecognized or otherwise incorrect parameters)
CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND (the CIM Class to be deleted does not exist)
CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_CHILDREN (the CIM Class has one or more subclasses which cannot be deleted)
CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_INSTANCES (the CIM Class has one or more instances which cannot be deleted)
