A providers that derives from this class must implement all methods. The minimal method implementation simply throw the NotSupported exception. In general, the CIMOM classifies the provider as asynchronous or synchronous depending on the methods implemented by the provider. An asynchronous indication provider supports provideIndication, updateIndication, and cancelIndication. A synchronous provider supports checkIndication. A provider can support both interfaces. The CIMOM first attempts to call provideIndication, given at least once subscription exists. If the provider does not support the method, the CIMOM assumes the provider generates indications synchronously using checkIndication. If the provider does not support any of the methods of this interface, is not considered an indication provider and an error is generated. */ class PEGASUS_PROVIDER_LINKAGE CIMIndicationProvider : public virtual CIMBaseProvider { public: CIMIndicationProvider(void); virtual ~CIMIndicationProvider(void); /** Instructs the provider to begin generating indications of the type specified in the classReference parameter. This method is invoked when the CIMOM has at least one active subscription that links the indication type with a handler. Once this method has been invoked, changes to the active subscriptions are communicated via the updateIndication method. The cancelIndication method is invoked when all active subscriptions have been removed. For example, assume that two subscriptions exist that point to the following filters.
    "SELECT Property1 FROM Sample_Indication WHERE Property1="foo" WITHIN 30000"
    "SELECT Property2 FROM Sample_Indication WHERE Property1="bar" WITHIN 60000"
    
The contents of the paramters (in string form) to this method might look like the following.
    classReference = "localhost/root/cimv2:Sample_Indication"
    minimumInterval = "00000000003000.000000:000" (30 minutes)
    maximumInterval = "00000000006000.000000:000" (60 minutes)

NOTE: The WHERE clause is not evaluated by the provider. Providers generate indications according to predefined events and are not specified by indication filters. The existence of a filter simply notifies a provider that some client is interested in indications of a specified type. The filters specify the criteria for indication delivery, not creation. Assuming the above parameters, the provider should attach to some resource and begin monitoring every 30 seconds (optimally). When some predefined event occurs (a circumstance that merits an indication), the provider should create and indication containing the properties listed in the propertyList parameter. The provider then delivers the indication to the handler associated with the indication type and continues monitoring. A call to updateIndication means that the indication generation information (minimumInterval, maximumInterval, and propertyList) has changed, and a call to cancelIndication notifies the provider to discontinue monitoring (no subscriptions exist). NOTE: Under normal circumstances the provider should not call handler.complete() in this method; it should be called in cancelIndication. Calling this method implies no more results are available and will effectively disable result forwarding for the handler. @param contex contains security and locale information relevant for the lifetime of this operation. @param classReference provides a fully qualified reference of the indication class of interest. @param minimumInterval specifies the minimum requested indication delivery frequency. This is an optional parameter where an interval of zero ("0000000000.000000:000") implies not specified. @param maximumInterval specifies the maximum requested indication delivery frequency.
