RunDay
public sint8 RunDay
- General Information:
The day in the month on which the Job
should be processed. There are two different interpretations for this
property, depending on the value of DayOfWeek. In one case, RunDay defines the
day-in-month on which the Job is processed. This interpretation is used when
the DayOfWeek is 0. A positive or negative integer indicates whether the
RunDay should be calculated from the beginning or end of the month. For
example, 5 indicates the fifth day in the RunMonth and -1 indicates the last
day in the RunMonth.
When RunDayOfWeek is not 0, RunDay is the
day-in-month on which the Job is processed, defined in conjunction with
RunDayOfWeek. For example, if RunDay is 15 and RunDayOfWeek is Saturday, then
the Job is processed on the first Saturday on or after the 15th day in the
RunMonth (for example, the third Saturday in the month). If RunDay is 20 and
RunDayOfWeek is -Saturday, then this indicates the first Saturday on or before
the 20th day in the RunMonth. If RunDay is -1 and RunDayOfWeek is -Sunday,
then this indicates the last Sunday in the
RunMonth.

public uint32 JobRunTimes
- General Information:
The number of times that the Job should be

value indicates a limit to the number of times that the Job will recur. Zero
indicates that there is no limit to the number of times that the Job can be
processed, but that it is terminated either after the UntilTime or by manual
intervention. By default, a Job is processed
once.

ElapsedTime
public datetime ElapsedTime
- General Information:
The time interval that the Job has been

ScheduledStartTime
public datetime ScheduledStartTime
- General Information:
The time that the current Job is scheduled
to start. This time can be represented by the actual date and time, or an
interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all

StartTime are reported as intervals relative to the time their values are
requested.

HealthState
public uint16 HealthState
- General Information:
Indicates the current health of the
element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not
necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where
5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely
non-functional. The following continuum is defined:
"Non-recoverable
Error" (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible.
All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
"Critical
Failure" (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be
possible.
"Major Failure" (20) - The element is failing. It is possible
that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not
working.
"Minor Failure" (15) - All functionality is available but some
might be degraded.
"Degraded/Warning" (10) - The element is in working
order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working
to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating
at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors.
"OK"
(5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal
operational parameters and without error.
"Unknown" (0) - The
implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has
reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in
the future.

Status
public string Status
- General Information:
A string indicating the current status of
the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This
property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same
semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons:
1) Status
is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the
limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a
multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.
2)
A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was
defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and
did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into
the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the
existing property, but also permits an improved definition using
OperationalStatus.

OperationalStatus
public uint16[] OperationalStatus
- General Information:
Indicates the current statuses of the
element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's
values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in
more detail.
"Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but
needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and
so on.
"Predictive Failure" indicates that an element is functioning
nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
"In Service"
describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise
administered.
"No Contact" indicates that the monitoring system has
knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications
with it.
"Lost Communication" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is
known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is
currently unreachable.
"Stopped" and "Aborted" are similar, although the
former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt
stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be
updated.
"Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
"Supporting Entity in Error" indicates that this element might be "OK" but
that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a
network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking
problems.
"Completed" indicates that the element has completed its
operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so
that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed),
Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation
finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
"Power
Mode" indicates that the element has additional power model information
contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to
provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs
for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's
environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it
required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing
Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that
providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus
properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the
primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is
single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the
element.

Note that
the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly

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 can be present in both the Name and

InstanceID 
public string InstanceID
- General Information:
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 that is creating or defining the InstanceID, or that is a
registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global
authority. (This requirement 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 resulting InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs
produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance.
For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm must be used with
the <OrgID> set to
'CIM'.

JobState
public uint16 JobState
- General Information:
JobState is an integer enumeration that
indicates the operational state of a Job. It can also indicate transitions
between these states, for example, 'Shutting Down' and 'Starting'. Following
is a brief description of the states:
New (2) indicates that the job has
never been started.
Starting (3) indicates that the job is moving from the
'New', 'Suspended', or 'Service' states into the 'Running' state.
Running
(4) indicates that the Job is running.
Suspended (5) indicates that the
Job is stopped, but can be restarted in a seamless manner.
Shutting Down
(6) indicates that the job is moving to a 'Completed', 'Terminated', or
'Killed' state.
Completed (7) indicates that the job has completed
normally.
Terminated (8) indicates that the job has been stopped by a
'Terminate' state change request. The job and all its underlying processes are
ended and can be restarted (this is job-specific) only as a new job.
Killed (9) indicates that the job has been stopped by a 'Kill' state
change request. Underlying processes might have been left running, and cleanup
might be required to free up resources.
Exception (10) indicates that the
Job is in an abnormal state that might be indicative of an error condition.
Actual status might be displayed though job-specific objects.
Service (11)
indicates that the Job is in a vendor-specific state that supports problem
discovery, or resolution, or both.

- General Information:
A timeout period that specifies the
maximum amount of time that the client expects the transition to the new
state to take. The interval format must be used to specify the
TimeoutPeriod. A value of 0 or a null parameter indicates that the client
has no time requirements for the transition.
If this property does not
contain 0 or null and the implementation does not support this parameter, a
return code of 'Use Of Timeout Parameter Not Supported' must be
returned.
