If successful, the return value specifies the value of the requested CIMProperty. If the value is NULL then no element is returned. 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_CLASS (the CIM Class does not exist in the specified namespace)
CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND (the CIM Class does exist, but the requested CIM Instance does not exist in the specified namespace)
CIM_ERR_NO_SUCH_PROPERTY (the CIM Instance does exist, but the requested CIMProperty does not)
CIM_ERR_FAILED (some other unspecified error occurred)
