DCIM_ServiceAffectsElement
Property Description
AffectedElement
The Managed Element that is affected by the Service.
AffectingElement
The Service that is affecting the ManagedElement.
AssignedSequence
AssignedSequence is an unsigned integer 'n' that indicates the relative
sequence in which order the ManagedElement instances are affected
by the Service, which is associated to the ManagedElement instances
through this class. The implementation of the Service uses the
relative sequence to order all the managed elements represented by
ManagedElements associated through this class for servicing or
prioritizing. When n is a positive integer, it indicates a place in the
sequence of affected elements, with smaller integers indicating
earlier positions in the sequence. NULL or the special value 0
indicates don't care. If two or more affected elements have the same
non-zero sequence number, then the ordering between those
elements is irrelevant, but they must all be serviced in the appropriate
order in the overall sequence. A series of examples will make order of
elements clearer: If all elements affected have the same sequence
number, regardless of whether it is 0 or non-zero, any order is
acceptable. The values, 1:ELEMENT A 2:ELEMENT B 1:ELEMENT C
3:ELEMENT D, indicate two acceptable orders: A,C,B,D or C,A,B,D,
since A and C can be ordered in either sequence, but only at the 1
position.
NOTE: The non-zero sequence numbers need not start with 1,
and they need not be consecutive. All that matters is their
relative magnitude.
ElementEffects
An enumeration that describes the effect on the ManagedElement.
This array corresponds to the OtherElementEffectsDescriptions array,
where the latter provides details that are related to the high-level
effects enumerated by this property. Additional detail is required if the
ElementEffects array contains the value 1 (Other).
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Exclusive Use — Indicates that no other Service may have this
association to the element.
• 3 = Performance Impact — Deprecated in favor of Consumes,
Enhances Performance, or Degrades Performance. Execution of
the Service may enhance or degrade the performance of the
element. This may be as a side-effect of execution or as an
intended consequence of methods provided by the Service.
• 4 = Element Integrity — Deprecated in favor of Consumes,
Enhances Integrity, or Degrades Integrity. Execution of the
Service may enhance or degrade the integrity of the element. This
may be as a side-effect of execution or as an intended
consequence of methods provided by the Service.
• 5 = Manages — The Service manages the element.
• 6 = Consumes — Execution of the Service consumes some or all
of the associated element as a consequence of running the
