Property Description
Manufacturer
The name used to identify this SoftwareElement. Manufacturer of this SoftwareElement.
Name
The name used to identify this SoftwareElement.
ReleaseDate
Date that this BIOS was released.
SoftwareElementID
This is an identier for the SoftwareElement and is designed to be used in conjunction with
other keys to create a unique representation of the element.
SoftwareElementState
The SoftwareElementState is dened in this model to identify various states of a
SoftwareElement's life cycle.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Deployable — Describes the details necessary to successfully distribute it and the
details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the installable state (i.e, the next
state).
• 1 = Installable — Describes the details necessary to successfully install it and the details
(Checks and Actions) required to create an element in the executable state (i.e., the
next state).
• 2 = Executable — Describes the details necessary to successfully start it and the details
(Checks and Actions) required to move it to the running state (i.e., the next state).
• 3 = Running — Describes the details necessary to manage the started element.
TargetOperatingSystem
The TargetOperatingSystem property species the element's operating system environment.
The value of this property does not ensure that it is binary executable. Two other pieces of
information are needed. First, the version of the OS needs to be specied using the class,
CIM_OSVersion Check. The second piece of information is the architecture that the OS
runs on. This information is veried using CIM_ArchitectureCheck. The combination of
these constructs clearly identies the level of OS required for a particular SoftwareElement.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = MACOS
• 3 = ATTUNIX
• 4 = DGUX
• 5 = DECNT
• 6 = Tru64 UNIX
• 7 = OpenVMS
• 8 = HPUX
• 9 = AIX
• 10 = MVS
• 11 = OS400
• 12 = OS/2
• 13 = JavaVM
• 14 = MSDOS
• 15 = WIN3x
• 16 = WIN95
• 17 = WIN98
• 18 = WINNT
• 19 = WINCE
