CIM_LogicalElement 61
CIM_SoftwareFeature
The CIM_SoftwareFeature class shown in Table 3-36 defines a particular function or capability of a
product or application system. This class is intended to be meaningful to a consumer, or user of a
product, rather than to explain how the product is built or packaged. When a software feature can exist
on multiple platforms or operating systems (for example, a client component of a three-tiered
client/server application might run on Windows NT), a software feature is a collection of all the software
elements for these different platforms. The users of the model must be aware of this situation because
typically they will be interested in a subcollection of the software elements required for a
particular platform.
