Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in

ModifyInstance correctly.

47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 I have updated the Provider2 instance

provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and

ModifyInstance operations. These changes were made to comply with

the DMTF specification.

The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no

plans to do so. Providers written to the original API will

continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity

to take advantage of the features that have been added.

The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:

- 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 get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance

which they are required to respect. If IncludeQualifiers is

false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not

be used to update the 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.

The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.

However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw

a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
