CIM Schema 2.37.0 Release Notes

This document describes the changes that have been incorporated into the CIM Schema Version 2.37.0 release.

The experimental ZIP file contains entities that were approved for the CIM Schema Version 2.37.0 that did not have sufficient implementation experience to be taken Final. The final ZIP file contains entities that have at least two independent implementations. Entities that are designated as final cannot be changed in a backward incompatible way between minor version releases.

Installation

To install the CIM Schema:

Download the ZIP files from the DMTF CIM standards page (http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/). The ZIP files can be found under the "CIM Schema and Specifications" section. The release contains both the experimental and final CIM Schemas.
