Re: [Sblim-devel] authoring providers

[David H. <hel...@us...>]

Hi Thomas,

I think there is a good amount of information out there.  I see a number 
of CIM Provider development guides from various independent software 
vendors, some presentations from developers conferences, etc.  The CMPI 
Technical Standard 2.0 document you mention really is the definitive API 
reference.

I think the best way to get started is to use of of the SFCB test 
providers as a template.  Look at the C code and the corresponding MOF 
files.  If you want an example of a more fully developed CMPI project, I 
recommend looking at the cmpi-router project that was contributed a few 
years ago.  It utilizes the CMPI convenience macros, uses a standard 
Provider / Resource Layer architecture and implements the standard 
SBLIM_TRACE facility.  It's one of the best-organized provider packages 
I've seen.

Of course, other folks on the mailing list may have better suggestions for 
reference material, to answer your query.

[Sblim-devel] authoring providers






I'm interested in any links, books, tutorials, etc that might exist for
one wanting to implement a provider with CMPI. Thus far I have the
TOG's pdf:

Systems Management:
Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI)
Issue 2.0

and have been looking at the source for providers in sblim and
pegasus. Needless to say there is some information to be desired. Any
tips towards cluing me in would be most appreciated.
