InstanceName The InstanceName input parameter specifies the name of the Instance (model path) for which the CIMProperty value is to be updated.

PropertyName The PropertyName input parameter specifies the name of the CIMProperty whose value is to be updated.

Newvalue The NewValue input parameter specifies the new value for the CIMProperty (which may be NULL).
