Hi,

To perform a firmware update have following operations, Also I have described some steps here.. please advise the directions are correct.

1. View The current firmare inventory of a system
    1.1. enumerate the CIM_SoftwareIdentity class.
2. Begin the update process
    2.1. Invoke CIM_SoftwareInstallationService.InstallFromURI method.
3. Monior the update process
    3.1. In this area, I have no clear idea.  How to monitor the update process?

Please help me, how to monitor the update process. which class I implementing for it? 

Regards,
George

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?

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.
           2. Download and install the firmware in system
           3. Return OK as status.
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?
  

Please advise me.

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.
