CIM_SoftwareElement¶
Class reference¶
Subclass of CIM_LogicalElement
The CIM_SoftwareElement class is used to decompose a CIM_SoftwareFeature object into a set of individually manageable or deployable parts, for a particular platform. A SoftwareElement’s platform is uniquely identified by its underlying hardware architecture and operating system (for example Sun Solaris on Sun Sparc or Windows NT on Intel platforms). As such, to understand the details of how the functionality of a particular SoftwareFeature is provided on a particular platform, the CIM_SoftwareElement objects referenced by CIM_SoftwareFeatureSoftwareElements associations are organized in disjoint sets based on the TargetOperatingSystem property. A CIM_SoftwareElement object captures the management details of a part or component in one of four states characterized by the SoftwareElementState property.
Key properties¶
Local properties¶
string IdentificationCode
The manufacturer’s identifier for this SoftwareElement. Often this will be a stock keeping unit (SKU) or a part number.
string SerialNumber
The assigned serial number of this SoftwareElement.
string Version
Software Version should be in the form <Major>.<Minor>.<Revision> or <Major>.<Minor><letter><revision>.
string Manufacturer
Manufacturer of this SoftwareElement.
uint16 TargetOperatingSystem
The TargetOperatingSystem property specifies the element’s operating system environment. The value of this property does not ensure that it is binary executable. Two other pieces of information are needed. First, the version of the OS needs to be specified using the class, CIM_OSVersion Check. The second piece of information is the architecture that the OS runs on. This information is verified using CIM_ArchitectureCheck. The combination of these constructs clearly identifies the level of OS required for a particular SoftwareElement.

string Name
The name used to identify this SoftwareElement.
string LanguageEdition
The value of this property identifies the language edition of this SoftwareElement. The language codes defined in ISO 639 should be used. Where the element represents a multi-lingual or international version, the string “Multilingual” should be used.
string OtherTargetOS
The OtherTargetOS property records the manufacturer and operating system type for a SoftwareElement when the TargetOperatingSystem property has a value of 1 (“Other”). For all other values of TargetOperatingSystem, the OtherTargetOS property is NULL.
uint16 SoftwareElementState
The SoftwareElementState is defined in this model to identify various states of a SoftwareElement’s life cycle.
- A SoftwareElement in the deployable state describes the details necessary to successfully distribute it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the installable state (i.e, the next state).
- A SoftwareElement in the installable state describes the details necessary to successfully install it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to create an element in the executable state (i.e., the next state).
- A SoftwareElement in the executable state describes the details necessary to successfully start it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the running state (i.e., the next state).
- A SoftwareElement in the running state describes the details necessary to manage the started element.

string SoftwareElementID
This is an identifier for the SoftwareElement and is designed to be used in conjunction with other keys to create a unique representation of the element.
string BuildNumber
The internal identifier for this compilation of SoftwareElement.
string CodeSet
The code set used by this SoftwareElement. It defines the bit patterns that a system uses to identify characters. ISO defines various code sets such as UTF-8 and ISO8859-1.
