NAME

       CMCIClientFT.invokeMethod() - Invoke a named method of an instance

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cmci.h>

       CMPIEnumeration*
       CMCIClientFT.invokeMethod(CMCIClient*cl,
		      CMPIObjectPath*op,
		      constchar*method,
		      CMPIArgs*in,
		      CMPIArgs*out,
		      CMPIStatus*rc);

DESCRIPTION

       Invoke a named method of an instance defined by the op reference.

       Arguments are the client object pointer cl, an ObjectPath object pointer op with the reference that contains namespace and classname compo-
       nents, method pointer to string that identifies the class method, in pointer to the input arguments, out pointer to the output  parameters,
       and rc which returns the operation status (suppressed when NULL).

RETURN VALUE

       When  successful  the  CMCIClientFT.invokeMethod() function returns the CMPIData value returned by the method invoked and sets a successful
       operation status code in rc.  When unsuccessful it returns a NULL pointer and sets the operation status error code and corresponding  error
       string in rc.

NAME

       CMCIClientFT.enumInstances() - Enumerate instances of a class

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cmci.h>

       CMPIEnumeration*
       CMCIClientFT.enumInstances(CMCIClient*cl,
		      CMPIObjectPath*op,
		      CMPIFlagsflags,
		      char**properties,
		      CMPIStatus*rc);

DESCRIPTION

       Enumerate  Instances  of the class (and subclasses) defined by op.  The instance structure and inheritance scope can be controled using the
       flags argument.

       Arguments are the client object pointer cl, an ObjectPath object pointer op with the reference that contains namespace and classname compo-
       nents, flags that affect the content of the returned class instance structures, a properties array, and rc which returns the operation sta-
       tus (suppressed when NULL).

       The flags argument is a bit mask that can contains the following flags - CMPI_FLAG_LocalOnly, CMPI_FLAG_DeepInheritance, CMPI_FLAG_Include-
       Qualifiers and CMPI_FLAG_IncludeClassOrigin.

RETURN VALUE

       When  successful  the CMCIClientFT.enumInstances() function returns a pointer to a CMPIEnumeration object that contains the class instances
       found for the class and sets a successful operation status code in rc.  When unsuccessful it returns a NULL pointer and sets the  operation
       status error code and corresponding error string in rc.

ERRORS

EXAMPLES

	  CMCIClient *cc;
	  CMPIObjectPath * objectpath;
	  CMPIInstance * instance;
	  CMPIEnumeration * enumeration;
	  CMPIStatus status;

	  /* Setup a conncetion to the CIMOM */
	  cc = cmciConnect("localhost", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

	  objectpath = newCMPIObjectPath("root/cimv2", NULL, NULL);
	  enumeration = cc->ft->enumInstances(cc, objectpath, 0, NULL, &status);

	  if   (!status.rc)  {	     fprintf(stderr,  "operation  error  code  %d  description	%s0,		     status.rc,  status.msg->hdl);
	    abort();
	  }
