CIM Schema Converter Description

The Common Information Model (CIM) defines an industry standard that is being developed by consortia members of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). It provides a common definition of management information for systems, networks, applications, and services; and it allows for vendor extensions. CIM is composed of a specification and a schema. The specification defines the details for integration with other management models, and the schema provides the actual model descriptions. These schemas are written by the DMTF in a language called Managed Object Format (MOF). The schema works well for CIM providers implemented for OpenPegasus, an open-source implementation of the DMTF CIM and WBEM standards. This implemented module is called a CIM Object Manager (CIMOM). Other organizations can implement CIMOM, such as Sun's Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), IBM Small FootPrint CIM Broker (SFCB),and Windows Management Instrumentation Adapter (WMI+A). In this case, the CIM Provider developer must develop different providers for different CIMOMs.To reduce the overhead required for developing and maintaining different versions of CIM Provider for various CIMOMs, a Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI) standard evolved. TheCMPI standard provides a common interface for developing a CIM provider. Consequently, a CIM provider implemented using this interface works with any CIMOM supporting CMPI. Currently, an MOF schema used for a CIM provider implementation for WMI+A requires manual changes, which can be time consuming and prone to errors. CIM Schema Converter uses the downloaded CIM schema as input for generating a schema that is compatible with WMI+A. This automation reduces processing time and minimizes errors. Wirth the help of CIM Schema Converter you'll be able to build Windows Management Instrumentation Adapter compatible schema.
