CIM_BindsTo class

  • Article

This association establishes a ServiceAccessPoint as a requester of protocol services from a ProtocolEndpoint. Typically, this association runs between SAPs and endpoints on a single system. Because a ProtocolEndpoint is a kind of ServiceAccessPoint, this binding can be used to establish a layering of two protocols, with the upper layer represented by the Dependent and the lower layer represented by the Antecedent.

Important  The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Syntax

{
  CIM_ProtocolEndpoint   REF Antecedent;
