Properties

Properties

The Msvm_Error class has these properties.

CIMStatusCode

Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only

The CIM status code that characterizes this instance. This property defines the status codes that may be return by a conforming CIM Server or Listener. Note that not all status codes are valid for each operation. The specification for each operation should define the status codes that may be returned by that operation. The following values for CIM status code are defined. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

Value	Meaning
CIM_ERR_FAILED 1	A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code.
CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED 2	Access to a CIM resource was not available to the client.
CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE 3	The target namespace does not exist.
CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER 4	One or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid.
CIM_ERR_INVALID_CLASS 5	The specified class does not exist.
CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND 6	The requested object could not be found.
CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED 7	The requested operation is not supported.
CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_CHILDREN 8	Operation cannot be carried out on this class because it has instances.
CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_INSTANCES 9	Operation cannot be carried out on this class since it has instances.
CIM_ERR_INVALID_SUPERCLASS 10	Operation cannot be carried out since the specified superclass does not exist.
CIM_ERR_ALREADY_EXISTS 11	Operation cannot be carried out because an object already exists.
CIM_ERR_NO_SUCH_PROPERTY 12	The specified Property does not exist.
CIM_ERR_TYPE_MISMATCH 13	The value supplied is incompatible with the type.
CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED 14	The query language is not recognized or supported.
CIM_ERR_INVALID_QUERY 15	The query is not valid for the specified query language.
CIM_ERR_METHOD_NOT_AVAILABLE 16	The extrinsic method could not be executed.
CIM_ERR_METHOD_NOT_FOUND 17	The specified extrinsic method does not exist.
CIM_ERR_UNEXPECTED_RESPONSE 18	The returned response to the asynchronous operation was not expected.
CIM_ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE_DESTINATION 19	The specified destination for the asynchronous response is not valid.
CIM_ERR_NAMESPACE_NOT_EMPTY 20	The specified namespace is not empty.
DMTF Reserved 21 ≤ value	Reserved values.

CIMStatusCodeDescription

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

A free-form string containing a user-readable description of the CIMStatusCode property. This description may extend, but must be consistent with, the definition of CIMStatusCode. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

ErrorSource

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

The identifying information of the entity (the instance) generating the error. If this entity is modeled in the CIM Schema, this property contains the path of the instance encoded as a string parameter. If not modeled, the property contains some identifying string that names the entity that generated the error. The path or identifying string is formatted per the ErrorSourceFormat property. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

ErrorSourceFormat

Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only

The format of the ErrorSource property is interpretable based on the value of this property. This property is inherited from CIM_Error and is set to 0.

Value	Meaning
Unknown 0	The format is unknown or not meaningfully interpretable by a CIM client application.
Other 1	The format is defined by the value of the OtherErrorSourceFormat property.
CIMObjectHandle 2	A CIM Object Handle, encoded using the MOF syntax defined for the objectHandle non-terminal, is used to identify the entity.

ErrorType

Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only

Primary classification of the error. The following values are defined. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

Value	Meaning
Unknown 0
Other 1
Communications Error 2	Errors of this type are principally associated with the procedures and/or processes required to convey information from one point to another.
Quality of Service Error 3	Errors of this type are principally associated with failures that result in reduced functionality or performance.
Software Error 4	Error of this type are principally associated with a software or processing fault.
Hardware Error 5	Errors of this type are principally associated with an equipment or hardware failure.
Environmental Error 6	Errors of this type are principally associated with a failure condition relating to the facility, or other environmental considerations.
Security Error 7	Errors of this type are associated with security violations, detection of viruses, and similar issues.
Oversubscription Error 8	Errors of this type are principally associated with the failure to allocate sufficient resources to complete the operation.
Unavailable Resource Error 9	Errors of this type are principally associated with the failure to access a required resource.
Unsupported Operation Error 10	Errors of this type are principally associated with requests that are not supported.

Message

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

The formatted message. This message is constructed by applying the dynamic content of the message, described in MessageArguments, to the format string uniquely identified, within the scope of the OwningEntity, by MessageID. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

MessageArguments

Data type: string array
Access type: Read-only

An array containing the dynamic content of the message. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

MessageID

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

An opaque string that uniquely identifies, within the scope of the OwningEntity, the format of the message. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

OtherErrorSourceFormat

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

A string defining "Other" values for ErrorSourceFormat. This value must be set to a non-NULL value when ErrorSourceFormat is set to a value of 1 (Other). For all other values of ErrorSourceFormat, the value of this string must be set to NULL. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

OtherErrorType

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

A free-form string that describes the ErrorType when 1, (Other), is specified as the ErrorType. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

OwningEntity

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

A string that uniquely identifies the entity that owns the definition of the format of the message described in this instance. OwningEntity must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity or standards body defining the format. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

PerceivedSeverity

Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only

An enumerated value that describes the severity of the error from the notifier's point of view: 2 - Low should be used for noncritical issues such as invalid parameters, incorrect usage, unsupported functionality. 3 - Medium should be used to indicate action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time. 4 - High should be used to indicate action is needed now. 5 - Fatal should be used to indicate a loss of data or unrecoverable system or service failure. This property is inherited from CIM_Error.

Low (2)
Medium (3)
High (4)
Fatal (5 )
