HP WBEM Services Software Developer's Kit, Version A.02.09, First Edition, March 2010

Announcement
The following information is for version A.02.09.02 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.
