Figure 1 – Location Class Diagram
Figure 1 shows the class diagram for the Location Profile. Providers associate an instance of
HP_Location to any managed element that they want to report location information for using the
HP_ElementLocation association.
HP_Location provides a mechanism for providers to supply 2 separate but related bits of information
about the location of a managed element. The first is the ability to supply a well defined element tag that
is used to identify the location of the instance of the element inside its containment. This is supported by
the ElementLocationTag/ElementLocationTagDesc property pair. Secondly, HP_Location provides the
ability to fully describe the location path of the containment hierarchy of the managed element associated
with HP_Location. This is supported by the LocationInformation/LocationInfoDesc property pair.
Note that this profile does not reference any other profiles nor does any other profile reference this profile.
Profile elements defined in this profile are intended to be optionally used by any managed element
defined within another profile to report location information and/or the location information of its
containment. Furthermore, this profile has no requirement to be registered in the interop namespace
using profile registration defined in P00100 and DSP1033 (see section 2.1)
