ProviderSvcsBase: The ProviderSvcsBase product offers interface for user space processes
(typically, but not limited to, WBEM Indication Providers) to retrieve error logs from HP-UX
Kernel. Using these error logs, a user space process can generate event (WBEM indication
or EMS event), when an event of interest occurs on the system.
