47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 Commited the following set of changes: |
| |
|
| |
- Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance> |
| |
to Array<CIMNamedInstance> |
| |
- Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to |
| |
CIMNamedInstance |
| |
- Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance |
| |
- Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the |
| |
CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String> |
| |
|
| |
Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification. |
| |
|
| |
These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider |
| |
API. For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the |
| |
differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function. |
| |
However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added |
| |
functionality. |
| |
|
| |
When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible: |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which |
| |
they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the |
| |
PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the |
| |
list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by |
| |
issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of |
| |
properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace |
| |
the entire instance. |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will be required to return instance names along with |
| |
instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive |
| |
these instance names, as the standard dictates. |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the |
| |
PropertyList instead of an Array<String>. This change allows |
| |
providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list. |
| |
|
| |
Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in |
| |
ModifyInstance correctly. |
