Description | string | The use of the CIM_ProvidesServiceToElement class has been deprecated. Instead, ServiceAvailableToElement conveys the semantics of 'use', while the subclasses of ProvidesService ToElement (or the ConcreteDependency association) describe dependency relationships. CIM_ProvidesServiceToElement was meant to generalize the ServiceServiceDependency association. It tried to indicate that ManagedElements may use the functionality provided by one or more Services. An example is that a Processor and an enclosure (a PhysicalElement) may use AlertOnLAN Services to signal an incomplete or erroneous boot. In reality, AlertOnLAN is simply a HostedService on a computer system that is generally 'available for 'use' and not a dependency of the processor or enclosure. To describe that use of the service may be restricted or have limited availability/ applicability, then the CIM_ServiceAvailableToElement association would be instantiated. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
