MI_Operation_GetIndication function (mi.h)

Get the synchronous results from a subscription.

Syntax

MI_INLINE MI_Result MI_Operation_GetIndication(
  [in]            MI_Operation      *operation,
                  const MI_Instance **instance,
                  const MI_Char     **bookmark,
                  const MI_Char     **machineID,
  [out, optional] MI_Boolean        *moreResults,
  [out, optional] MI_Result         *result,
                  const MI_Char     **errorMessage,
                  const MI_Instance **completionDetails
);

Parameters

[in] operation

Operation handle returned from an instance session operation.

instance

Returned indication instance. If the operation fails, this value may be Null. The returned class is valid until the next call to MI_Operation_GetIndication or MI_Operation_Close. If the class needs to be stay active across these calls, then the class needs to be cloned via MI_Instance_Clone.

bookmark

Some providers allow a subscription to resume from a particular indication result should the subscription fail or get shut down. If the provider supports this, then a bookmark is optionally returned with the instance. This bookmark can then be passed in to a future subscription to attempt to resume the subscription from that point. Most providers do not support this functionality.

machineID

Returned machine identification indicating the origin of the event.

[out, optional] moreResults

Returned Boolean value indicating if more results are available. A value of MI_TRUE means that more results can be retrieved. This function must be called until moreResults has a value of MI_FALSE (even if the operation is canceled via MI_Operation_Cancel). Calling MI_Operation_Close before retrieving the last result where moreResults is set to MI_FALSE will cause the MI_Operation_Close function to stop responding.

[out, optional] result

Returned value indicating the success or failure of the function call. A value of MI_RESULT_OK indicates success. Otherwise, the returned errorMessage value should be used to determine the cause of failure.

errorMessage

In the case of an error, this returned value provides additional debugging information as to the cause of failure. This error message has the same lifetime as the classResult value.

completionDetails

In the case of an error, this returned value provides additional error information - typically in the form of a CIM_Error object (or a derived class). This returned instance has the same lifetime as the classResult value. If this value is needs to stay active longer, then the value needs to be cloned via MI_Instance_Clone.

Return value

None

Remarks

This function will block until a new indication arrives. This function should not be called on non-subscription calls or a non-subscription operation.
