Supplying Data to WMI by Writing a Provider

A WMI provider creates a group of supported classes, instances, and events to pass data to WMI. In turn, a management application or script can call provider methods to manipulate provider-supplied data.

The following diagram illustrates the relationship between a provider that is coupled to WMI and the application.

relationship between wmi, coupled provider, and application

The following procedure describes how to create a simple provider that supports a set of instances. The provider described here is registered to run inside the WMI process. In some cases, use a decoupled provider that runs in a different process. For more information about provider hosting models, see Provider Hosting and Security. Steps 1 and 2 in the following procedure differ for decoupled providers but in other respects they use the same interfaces as in-process providers. For more information, see Incorporating a Provider in an Application.

To create an instance provider

  1. Create an instance of a __Win32Provider class with Managed Object Format (MOF) code, providing the name and CLSID of the provider. For more information, see Designing Managed Object Format (MOF) Classes.

    The following code example shows how to create an instance of a __Win32Provider class.

    Instance of __Win32Provider as $P   // $P is an alias
    {
      // Name that describes your provider
      Name        = "InstProvSamp" ;   
      ClsId   = "{22CB8761-914A-11cf-B705-00AA0062CBB7}" ;
    } ;   
    

    Note

    To ensure that all your WMI class definitions for managed objects are restored to the WMI repository if WMI has a failure and restarts, use the #pragma autorecover statement preprocessor instruction in your MOF file.

     

    For more information, see Creating an Instance and Registering an Instance Provider.

  2. Create an instance of the __InstanceProviderRegistration class that describes the features of the instance provider.

    The following code example shows how to create an instance of the __InstanceProviderRegistration class.

    instance of __InstanceProviderRegistration
    {
      Provider = $P;                // Alias to the __Win32Provider
      SupportsPut = FALSE;          // Does not support the Put method
      SupportsGet = TRUE;           // Supports the Get method
      SupportsDelete = FALSE;       // Does not support the Delete method
      SupportsEnumeration = TRUE;   // Supports enumeration.
    };
    

    For more information about the properties in this section of MOF code, see __InstanceProviderRegistration and __ObjectProviderRegistration.

    For more information, see Registering an Instance Provider.

  3. Use MOF code to create the dynamic class for which the provider supplies instances.

    A dynamic class is a class whose instances receive updates from a provider. These updates can be regular or linked to sporadic changes in the objects the instances represent. You can view changes to the dynamic class instances through your own management application or the WMI Object Browser.

    The following code example describes a dynamic class supported by the "InstProvSamp" provider.

    [dynamic, provider("InstProvSamp"), // uses the InstProvSamp Provider
    ClassContext("whatever!")]          // information is dynamically
                                        // supported by the provider
    class InstProvSamp
    {
      [key]
      // MyKey uniquely identifies this class
      String MyKey="HELLO";   
    
      // InstProvSamp dynamically updates MyValue
      [PropertyContext("Name")] 
      uint32 MyValue;
    };
    
  4. Register your classes with WMI through the MOF compiler.

    From the command prompt in your provider directory, type the following to register the example MOF code with WMI.

    mofcomp instprov.mof

    For more information, see Compiling MOF Files.

  5. Define a COM object to contain your provider. The example code for this step is located in a complete example at the end of this topic.

    1. As with any COM object, you must implement a constructor and a deconstructor, as well as the QueryInterface, AddRef, and Release methods.

    2. Implement the IWbemProviderInit::Initialize method in your COM object.

      The main purpose of Initialize in this example is to set the m_pNamespace member to the current namespace. For more information about namespaces, see Creating Hierarchies Within WMI.

      A sink is passed in through the pInitSink parameter in the IWbemProviderInit::Initialize method to state that the provider has successfully initialized. For more information about sinks, see IWbemObjectSink and Calling a Method.

    3. Implement the IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnumAsync method within your COM object (although you can implement a variety of IWbemServices interfaces, the example at the end of this topic implements only CreateInstanceEnumAsync). Specifically, CreateInstanceEnumAsync returns instances of specified objects to WMI.

    4. Implement the GetObjectAsync method within your COM object.

      In the example at the end of this topic, GetObjectAsync checks the parameters on the managed object, retrieves the specified object, performs error checking, and returns the appropriate codes to the sink.

  6. Register your provider as a COM object, using RegSvr32.

    From the command prompt in your provider directory, type the following:

    regsvr32 InstProv.dll

Your provider is now complete. At this point, you should be able to access instances of the InstProvSamp class from within WMI.

The following code example creates a COM object to contain your provider as described in Step 5 above. The complete sample contains code from the header file titled Sample.h and source files titled Instprov.cpp, Utils.cpp, Classfac.cpp, and Maindll.cpp.
