Property Description
Name
The Name property uniquely identifies the
ServiceAccessPoint and provides an indication of the
functionality that is managed. This functionality is
described in more detail in the Description property of the
object.
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested
or desired state for the element, irrespective of the
mechanism through which it was requested. The actual
state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This
property is provided to compare the last requested and
current enabled or disabled states.
NOTE: When EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not
Applicable"), then this property has no meaning. See
the EnabledState property description for
explanations of the values in the RequestedState
enumeration.
NOTE: The value "No Change" (5) has been
deprecated instead of indicating the last requested
state is "Unknown" (0). If the last requested or desired
state is unknown, RequestedState should have the
value "Unknown" (0), but may have the value "No
Change" (5).
There are two new values in RequestedState that build on
the statuses of EnabledState. These are "Reboot" (10) and
"Reset" (11).
Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled
state, and may involve removing power, to completely
erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an
immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not
execute or accept any commands or processing requests.
This property is set as the result of a method invocation
(such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or can be
overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The
method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable
property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the
operation and the return of a result code. If knowledge of
the last RequestedState is not supported for the
EnabledLogicalElement, the property is NULL or has the
value 12 "Not Applicable".
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - Indicates the last requested state
for the element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline - Indicates that the element has been
requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline
EnabledState.
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
