3.46.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.

An IUpdateServiceRegistration server maintains the following data elements:

  • RegistrationState: A value from the UpdateServiceRegistrationState (section 2.2.13) enumeration that describes the state of the service registration.

  • ServiceID: A string containing the unique identifier of the update service.

  • IsPendingRegistrationWithAU: A VARIANT_BOOL that indicates whether the service is pending registration with the automatic update agent.

  • Service: An IUpdateService instance representing the service being registered.

Once initialized, these data elements are not modified.
