HP WBEM Services Software Developer's Kit, Version A.02.07, Release Notes, September 2008

Announcement
The following information is for version A.02.07 of HP WBEM Services Software
Developer's Kit (SDK).
HP WBEM Services Software Developer's Kit is available from
http://software.hp.com.
The HP WBEM Services SDK is the software developer's kit for the HP WBEM Services
product. It provides application developers with the tools they need to develop CIM
client applications and provider modules for HP WBEM Services.
HP WBEM Services and HP WBEM Services Software Developer's Kit are HP’s
implementation of the DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) WBEM (Web-Based
Enterprise Management) standard for the HP-UX Operating Environment.
The HP WBEM Services SDK is a set of APIs that contain the components necessary
for developers to write management applications that communicate with DMTF WBEM
standard compliant devices. Developers can also use the SDK to develop providers to
enable managed objects to communicate with the CIM Server. Providers get information
about the managed objects and fulfill requests on behalf of client applications.
The APIs represent and manipulate CIM objects. These APIs represent CIM objects as
C++ classes. Programmers can use these interfaces to describe managed objects and
retrieve information about managed objects on a WBEM-enabled system.
Provider API
Provider APIs are interfaces that the CIM Server and providers use to communicate
with each other. Providers can use these interfaces to provide the CIM Server a particular
kind of dynamic data. When an application requests dynamic data from the CIM Server,
the CIM Server uses these interfaces to pass the request to the registered provider.
Client API
Client APIs are interfaces that the CIM Clients use to communicate with the CIM Server.
CIM Client Applications can use these interfaces to retrieve information about managed
objects on a WBEM-enabled system.
