# Class CIM_Service
extends CIM_EnabledLogicalElement

A Service is a LogicalElement that represents the availability of functionality that can be managed. This functionality may be provided by a seperately modeled entity such as a LogicalDevice or a SoftwareFeature, or both. The modeled Service typically provides only functionality required for management of itself or the elements it affects.

## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
CreationClassName | string |
Description | string | CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass that is used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
Key | boolean | true
MaxLen | uint32 | 256
Name | string |
Description | string | The Name property uniquely identifies the Service and provides an indication of the functionality that is managed. This functionality is described in more detail in the Description property of the object.
Key | boolean | true
MaxLen | uint32 | 256
Override | string | Name
PrimaryOwnerContact | string |
Description | string | A string that provides information on how the primary owner of the Service can be reached (for example, phone number, e-mail address, and so on).
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|General Information|001.4
MaxLen | uint32 | 256
Write | boolean | true
PrimaryOwnerName | string |
Description | string | The name of the primary owner for the service, if one is defined. The primary owner is the initial support contact for the Service.
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|General Information|001.3
MaxLen | uint32 | 64
Write | boolean | true
Started | boolean |
Description | string | Started is a Boolean that indicates whether the Service has been started (TRUE), or stopped (FALSE).
StartMode | string |
Deprecated | string | CIM_Service.EnabledDefault

Description

string

Note: The use of this element is deprecated in lieu of the EnabledDefault property that is inherited from EnabledLogicalElement. The EnabledLogicalElement addresses the same semantics. The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property. To remain compatible with those implementations, StartMode was grandfathered into the schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property but also permits an improved, clarified definition using EnabledDefault. Deprecated description: StartMode is a string value that indicates whether the Service is automatically started by a System, an Operating System, and so on, or is started only upon request.

MaxLen | uint32 | 10
ValueMap | string | Automatic, Manual
SystemCreationClassName | string |
Description | string | The CreationClassName of the scoping System.

## Class Methods

### Local Class Methods

#### StartService (uint32)

#### Method Qualifiers (StartService)

Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---
Deprecated | string | CIM_Service.RequestStateChange

Description

string

The StartService method places the Service in the started state. Note that the function of this method overlaps with the RequestedState property. RequestedState was added to the model to maintain a record (such as a persisted value) of the last state request. Invoking the StartService method should set the RequestedState property appropriately. The method returns an integer value of 0 if the Service was successfully started, 1 if the request is not supported, and any other number to indicate an error. In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be specified using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are translated can also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier. Note: The semantics of this method overlap with the RequestStateChange method that is inherited from EnabledLogicalElement. This method is maintained because it has been widely implemented, and its simple "start" semantics are convenient to use.

#### Method Parameters (StartService)

Name | Type | Qualifiers

Name | Data Type | Value

#### StopService (uint32)

#### Method Qualifiers (StopService)

Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---
Deprecated | string | CIM_Service.RequestStateChange

Description

string

The StopService method places the Service in the stopped state. Note that the function of this method overlaps with the RequestedState property. RequestedState was added to the model to maintain a record (such as a persisted value) of the last state request. Invoking the StopService method should set the RequestedState property appropriately. The method returns an integer value of 0 if the Service was successfully stopped, 1 if the request is not supported, and any other number to indicate an error. In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be specified using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are translated can also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier. Note: The semantics of this method overlap with the RequestStateChange method that is inherited from EnabledLogicalElement. This method is maintained because it has been widely implemented, and its simple "stop" semantics are convenient to use.
