Pegasus has effectivly implemented the same operations and data defintions across all of these interfaces with minor differences because of the special characteristics of each interface. <B>Client Interface</B> <B>Provider Interface</B> In Pegasus, the provider is a separate executable that accesses the managed resources and is used by the CIMOM to provide access to data. Providers forward this information to the CIMOM for integration and interpretation. When the CIMOM receives a request from a management application for data that is not available from the CIMOM Repository, it forwards the request to a provider. The CIMOM Repository only contains static data. Providers implement a provider interface that supports the type of service specific to their role. In order to implement the interface, a provider class must first declare the interface in an implements clause, and then it must provide an implementation (a body) for all of the abstract methods of the.interface. <Services Interface</B> ATTN: Need to put something here. <B>Repository Interface</B> The repository interface isused by the CIMOM to interface with implementations of the repository thatstore and retrieve provide persistence for class and instance information. A prototype implementation of both a class and instance provider is provided with Pegasus (ATTN: SEE ALSO). However, it is expected that this will be replaced in many installations. . */
