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:

    “They [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ... [they] need the power to advance their own development, but they do not “need” the power to limit the development of others.”
    —Jean Baker Miller (20th century)

    “The toddler’s wish to please ... is a powerful aid in helping the child to develop a social awareness and, eventually, a moral conscience. The child’s love for the parent is so strong that it causes him to change his behavior: to refrain from hitting and biting, to share toys with a peer, to become toilet trained. This wish for approval is the parent’s most reliable ally in the process of socializing the child.”
    —Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
