Hi,
I have following questions regarding software update profile, My
understanding, I have added here, please verify it.
Qn 1. I want to enumerate current installed software details.
Ans: I think that CIM_SoftwareIdentity class is used for this
purpose. Is it right?
Correct. In openlmi-software this enumeration is disabled
though. There
is just too many available packages to enumerate. Only enumeration of
LMI_SoftwareInstalledPackage (association class) is supported.
Qn2 : I want to implement
CIM_SoftwareInstallationSerice.InstallFromURI method. Right now I am
trying to implement it synchronous.. Later I wish to change it
asynchronous method.
Ans: I shall describe the steps here.
1. Create the instance of CIM_ConcreteJob class. Fill the status as
downloading/upgrading.
The Software Update Profile says it all. You don't need
to create any
CIM_ConcreteJob instances if you don't support asynchronous methods
right now.
2. Download and install the firmware in system
3. Return OK as status.
And "Job Completed with No Error" (0) as a
return value.
Qn3: How to the know the firmware installation status? means that
which class enumerating for this purpose?
Ans: I think CIM_ConcreteJob class is used for this purpose. right?
Yes but only in
cause you support asynchronous invocations. Software
Update Profile does not cover any progress readings when installing
synchronously.
Please advise me.
Regards,
George

Hi,
What optional features you want to implement (like
Ordered Dependencies, Software Bundles etc.).
No. I am trying to implement firmware via http . So I
trying to implement InstallFromURI method. In this method
I implement download packages using CURL library to
destination path. Right now I didn't fill CIM_ConcreteJob
instance.
What other functionality you are missing in the
profile (verification)?
Need to enumerate current installed firmware
revision.For this purpose need to enumerate instance
of CIM_SoftwareIdentity and
CIM_SoftwareInstallationService class. right?
Whether you are content with synchronous methods?
- easy to implement.
current implementation firmware installation done by
another process. So I think it should an
asynchronous. if it synchronous, take long time for
getting InstallFromURI method response.. right?..
And when you choose asynchronous, whether to make
indications to notify clients?
how to make notification to client. Please give
samples about indication.
How to represent your jobs in separate thread or
process?
Yes. firmware upgrade process already done, thats in
another process . So we need to query the status to that
process .Inter Process Communication(IPC) . using messsage
queue mechanism

George

Look here:
http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/cim-html/2.34.0/CIM_ConcreteJob.html
Search for "PercentComplete" property. You may also
provide indications user can subscribe to.
This way he doesn't need to poll for status. With
asynchronous invocation there are just a few
possible values you can return: "Unspecified Error"
(2) or "Method Parameters Checked - Job Started" (4096).
Return the first one if parameters are invalid or the
job could not be started, otherwise start the job,
make instance of CIM_ConcreteJob, return it as an Out
parameter and make 4096 the return value of method.

Whether you are content with synchronous methods? -
easy to implement.
And when you choose asynchronous, whether to make
indications to notify clients?
How to represent your jobs in separate thread or process?
