A.02.11.00 Release Notes
Announcement
The following information is for version A.02.11.00 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 the 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 Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
standard for the HP-UX Operating Environment.
The HP WBEM Services SDK is a set of APIs that consist of the components necessary for developers
to write management applications that communicate with the 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
process requests on behalf of the 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 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. The CIM
Client applications use these interfaces to retrieve information about managed objects on a
WBEM-enabled system.
