cimworkshop(1M) System Administration Commands cimworkshop(1M)NAMEcimworkshop - start the Sun WBEM CIM WorkShop application
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sadm/bin/cimworkshop
DESCRIPTION
The cimworkshop command starts Sun WBEM CIM WorkShop, a graphical user
interface that enables you to create, modify, and view the classes and
instances that describe the managed resources on your system.
Managed resources are described using a standard information model
called Common Information Model (CIM). A CIM class is a computer repre‐
sentation, or model, of a type of managed resource, such as a printer,
disk drive, or CPU. A CIM instance is a particular managed resource
that belongs to a particular class. Instances contain actual data.
Objects can be shared by any WBEM-enabled system, device, or applica‐
tion. CIM objects are grouped into meaningful collections called
schema. One or more schemas can be stored in directory-like structures
called namespaces.
The CIM WorkShop application displays a Login dialog box. Context help
is displayed on the left side of the CIM WorkShop dialog boxes. When
you click on a field, the help content changes to describe the selected
field.
By default, CIM WorkShop uses the RMI protocol to connect to the CIM
Object Manager on the local host, in the default namespace, rootManager
using the standard XML/HTTP protocol from the Desktop Management Task
Force. When a connection is established, all classes contained in the
default namespace are displayed in the left side of the CIM WorkShop
window.
The name of the current namespace is listed in the tool bar. All pro‐
gramming operations are performed within a namespace. Four namespaces
are created in a root namespace during installation:
cimv2 Contains the default CIM classes that represent managed
resources on your system.
security Contains the security classes used by the CIM Object
Manager to represent access rights for users and names‐
paces.
system Contains properties for configuring the CIM Object Man‐
ager.
snmp Contains pre-defined SNMP-related classes and all SNMP
MOF files that are compiled.
The cimworkshop application allows you to perform the following tasks:
Create, view, and change namespaces.
Use the CIM WorkShop application to view all namespaces. A names‐
pace is a directory-like structure that can store CIM classes and
instances.
Create, delete, and view CIM classes.
You cannot modify the unique attributes of the classes that make up
the CIM and Solaris Schema. You can create a new instance or sub‐
class of the class and modify the desired attributes in that
instance or subclass.
Create, modify, delete, and view CIM instances.
You can add instances to a class and modify its inherited proper‐
ties or create new properties. You can also change the property
values of a CIM instance.
Invoke methods.
You can set input values for a parameter of a method and invoke the
method.
When CIM WorkShop connects to the CIM Object Manager in a particular
namespace, all subsequent operations occur within that namespace. When
you connect to a namespace, you can access the classes and instances in
that namespace (if they exist) and in any namespaces contained in that
namespace.
When you use CIM WorkShop to view CIM data, the WBEM system validates
your login information on the current host. By default, a validated
WBEM user is granted read access to the CIM Schema. The CIM Schema
describes managed objects on your system in a standard format that all
WBEM-enabled systems and applications can interpret.
Read Only Allows read-only access to CIM Schema objects. Users
with this privilege can retrieve instances and classes,
but cannot create, delete, or modify CIM objects.
Read/Write Allows full read, write, and delete access to all CIM
classes and instances.
Write Allows write and delete, but not read access to all CIM
classes and instances.
None Allows no access to CIM classes and instances.
USAGE
The cimworkshop command is not a tool for a distributed environment.
Rather, this command is used for local administration on the machine on
which the CIM Object Manager is running.
EXIT STATUS
The cimworkshop utility terminates with exit status 0.
