All Implemented Interfaces:

CimEventGenerator

public class CimInstance
extends StructureValue

Class to represent a CIM Instance. CIM Instances are active elements that can have properties and operations, and provide the ability to model control plane elements. Instances can be bound to java classes that can perform the corresponding actions within the managed environment. Instances can be created from corresponding class templates.
