InventoryAction Client WMI Class

In Configuration Manager, the InventoryAction class is a client Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class that associates a set of queries with reporting details, tying together the item to report and the destination of the report.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

Syntax

Class InventoryAction : SMS_InventoryAgent_Policy
{
      UInt32 DefaultTimeout;
      String Description;
      String InventoryActionID;
      String InventoryActionLastUpdateTime;
      String PolicyID;
      String PolicyInstanceID;
      UInt32 PolicyPrecedence;
      String PolicyRuleID;
      String PolicySource;
      String PolicyVersion;
      String ReportDestination;
      UInt32 ReportTimeout;
      String ReportType;
};

Methods

The InventoryAction class does not define any methods.

InventoryActionLastUpdateTime Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Timestamp of the last update to the InventoryAction instance.

PolicyID Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [key]

Unique ID of the policy.

PolicyInstanceID Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [key]

Unique ID of the policy instance.

PolicyPrecedence Data type: UInt32

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: None

Precedence for the policy.

PolicyRuleID Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: Key

Unique ID of the rule used to create the policy.

PolicySource Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [key]

Source of the policy.

PolicyVersion Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [key]

Version of the policy.

ReportDestination Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: None

Destination address for the generated report.

ReportTimeout Data type: UInt32

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: None

Maximum time that the client messaging framework attempts to transmit the report if the destination endpoint is unreachable.

ReportType Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: None

Type of inventory report. Possible values are:

Value	Description
Full	Report contains all instances collected by the associated InventoryDataItem queries.
Delta	Report contains instances that have changed since the last report

Remarks

Three predefined inventory actions are provided through the site policy: hardware inventory, data discovery, and software inventory. For each of these inventory actions, the Inventory Agent generates a report by using the associated InventoryDataItem Client WMI Class queries and sends the generated report to the specified destination.
