Windows Management Instrumentation - Development Process

Development Process

Because WMI abstracts the manageable entities with CIM and a collection of providers, the development of a provider implies several steps. The major steps can be summarized as follows:

Step 1 – Create the manageable entity model

  • Define a model
  • Implement the model

Step 2 – Create the WMI Provider

  • Determine the provider type to implement
  • Determine the hosting model of the provider
  • Create the provider template with the ATL wizard
  • Implement the code logic in the provider
  • Register the provider with WMI and the system

Step 3 – Test the provider

Step 4 – Create consumer sample code

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or process:

    A defective voice will always preclude an artist from achieving the complete development of his art, however intelligent he may be.... The voice is an instrument which the artist must learn to use with suppleness and sureness, as if it were a limb.
    Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

    To exist as an advertisement of her husband’s income, or her father’s generosity, has become a second nature to many a woman who must have undergone, one would say, some long and subtle process of degradation before she sunk [sic] so low, or grovelled so serenely.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
