Class Declaration Attributes Name Value SUPERCLASS CIM_Collection NAME CIM_Profile
Class CIM_Profile Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Version string 2.7.0 CIM_Profile Description string Profile specifies a general collection of Settings/SettingData that are logically grouped together. Note that the CIM_Profile class uses simplified naming/identity and collection algorithms, as compared to CIM_Configuration. The settings are ’ collected ’ into the Profile using the MemberOfCollection association. Note that a Profile obtains its setting data and other necessary information from collected Setting/SettingData instances, and by the definition of additional properties in subclasses. One example of a Profile is to define the collection of settings for a particular person. Another is to define the collection of settings appropriate when initializing a system. Profile is tied to a ManagedElement using the ElementProfile association. The ManagedElement provides context for the Profile, and the settings collected by Profile SHOULD be settings of the associated ManagedElement. Note that a ManagedElement MAY NOT exist when the Profile is instantiated. This is true when the Profile is used in the creation of the real world entity represented by (and then instantiated in) the ManagedElement. CIM_Profile Description string Collection is an abstract class that provides a common superclass for data elements that represent collections of ManagedElements and its subclasses. CIM_Collection Description string ManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema.

Property InstanceID Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_Profile Description string Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following ’ preferred ’ algorithm: < OrgID > : < LocalID > Where < OrgID > and < LocalID > are separated by a colon ’ : ’ , and where < OrgID > MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the < Schema Name > _ < Class Name > structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness < OrgID > MUST NOT contain a colon ( ’ : ’ ). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between < OrgID > and < LocalID > . < LocalID > is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above ’ preferred ’ algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance ’ s NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the ’ preferred ’ algorithm MUST be used with the < OrgID > set to ’ CIM ’ . CIM_Profile
Property Caption Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. CIM_ManagedElement MaxLen uint32 64 CIM_ManagedElement
Property Description Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Description property provides a textual description of the object. CIM_ManagedElement
Property ElementName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A 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. CIM_ManagedElement
