CIM_ServiceServiceDependency class

The CIM_ServiceServiceDependency class represents an association between two services. The associated service must be present, must have completed, or must be absent for the other service to function. For example, boot services can be dependent on underlying BIOS, disk, and initialization services. For initialization services, the boot service is dependent on the initialization services completing. For disk services, boot services can actually use the SAPs of this service. This usage dependency is modeled on the CIM_ServiceSAPDependency association.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.
