CIM_Service class

A CIM_Service is a Logical Element that contains the information necessary to represent and manage the functionality provided by a Device and/or SoftwareFeature. A Service is a general-purpose object to configure and manage the implementation of functionality. It is not the functionality itself.

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

Syntax

[Abstract, UUID("{FCFE8148-E035-4bf9-88ED-494793B152BC}"), AMENDMENT]
class CIM_Service : CIM_LogicalElement
{
  string   Caption;
  string   Description;
  datetime InstallDate;

Members

The CIM_Service class has these types of members:

Properties

The CIM_Service class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

The Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

CreationClassName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: CIM_KEY, MaxLen (256)

CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

The Description property provides a textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5")

A datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("Name"), Key, MaxLen (256)

The Name property uniquely identifies the Service and provides an indication of the functionality that is managed. This functionality is described in more detail in the object's Description property.

Started

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

Started is a boolean indicating whether the Service has been started (TRUE), or stopped (FALSE).

StartMode

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (10)

StartMode is a string value indicating whether the Service is automatically started by a System, Operating System, etc. or only started upon request.

("Automatic")

("Manual")

Status

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (10)

A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. Operational statuses are "OK", "Degraded", "Stressed" and "Pred Fail". "Stressed" indicates that the Element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, etc. The condition "Pred Fail" (failure predicted) indicates that an Element is functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are "Error", "NonRecover", "Starting", "Stopping" and "Service". "NonRecover" indicates that a non-recoverable error has occurred. "Service" describes an Element being configured, maintained or cleaned, or otherwise administered. This status could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative task. Not all such work is on-line, yet the Element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

SystemCreationClassName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Propagated ("CIM_System.CreationClassName"), CIM_KEY, MaxLen (256)

The scoping System's CreationClassName.

SystemName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Propagated ("CIM_System.Name"), Key, MaxLen (256)

The scoping System's Name.
