Class CIM_Check
extends CIM_ManagedElement

A CIM_Check is a condition or characteristic that is expected to be true in an environment defined or scoped by an instance of a CIM_ComputerSystem. The Checks associated with a particular SoftwareElement are organized into one of two groups using the Phase property of the CIM_SoftwareElementChecks association. Conditions that are expected to be true when a SoftwareElement is in a particular state and environment are known as 'in-state' conditions. Conditions that need to be satisfied in order to transition the SoftwareElement to its next state are known as 'next-state' conditions. A CIM_ComputerSystem object represents the environment in which CIM_SoftwareElements are already deployed/installed or into which the elements will be deployed/installed. For the case in which an element is already installed, the CIM_InstalledSoftwareElement association identifies the CIM_ComputerSystem object that represents the "environment". When a SoftwareElement is being deployed for installation on a ComputerSystem, that system is the target of the Check and is identified using the TargetSystem reference of the InvokeOnSystem method.

Captionstring
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3264None None
CheckIDstring
DescriptionstringAn identifier used in conjunction with other keys to uniquely identify the Check.None TRANSLATABLE= true
KeybooleantrueNone OVERRIDABLE= false
MaxLenuint32256None None
CheckModeboolean
DescriptionstringThe CheckMode property is used to indicate whether the condition is expected to exist or not exist in the environment. When the value is True, the condition is expected to exist (e.g., a file is expected to be on a system), so the Invoke methods are expected to return True. When the value is False, the condition is not expected to exist (e.g., a file is not to be on a system), so the Invoke methods are expected to return False.None TRANSLATABLE= true
Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringA user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name IN ADDITION TO its key properties/identity data, and description information. Note that ManagedSystemElement's Name property is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.None TRANSLATABLE= true
