Class CIM_ConcreteIdentity


CIM_LogicalIdentity


Description

CIM_ConcreteIdentity associates two elements that represent different aspects of the same underlying entity. It is defined as a concrete subclass of the abstract CIM_LogicalIdentity class, to be used in place of many specific subclasses of LogicalIdentity that add no semantics, that is, subclasses that do not clarify the type of identity, update cardinalities, or add or remove qualifiers. Note that when you define additional semantics for LogicalIdentity, this class should not be subclassed. Specific semantics continue to be defined as subclasses of the abstract CIM_LogicalIdentity. ConcreteIdentity is limited in its use as a concrete form of a general identity relationship.It was deemed more prudent to create this concrete subclass than to change LogicalIdentity from an abstract to a concrete class. LogicalIdentity already had multiple abstract subclasses in the CIM Schema, and wider industry usage and impact could not be anticipated.

Key
SameElement CIM_ManagedElement
SameElement represents an alternate aspect of the ManagedElement.
SystemElement CIM_ManagedElement
SystemElement represents one aspect of the Managed Element. The use of'System'in the role name does not limit the scope of the association. The role name was defined in the original association, where the referenced elements were limited to LogicalElements. Since that time, it has been found valuable to instantiate these types of relationships for ManagedElements, such as Collections. So, the referenced elements of the association were redefined to be ManagedElements. Unfortunately, the role name could not be changed without deprecating the entire association. This was not deemed necessary just to correct the role name.
