                                                 boolean pContinueOnError,
                                                 UnsignedInteger32 pMaxObjects)
                                                 throws WBEMException
associatorPaths shall start an enumeration session for traversing associations starting from the instance defined in the pInstancePath parameter using any specified filtering criteria and return zero or more CIMObjectPath objects.

Parameters:
pInstancePath - The CIMObjectPath for the instance for which the enumeration is to be performed.
pAssociationClass - This string MUST either contain a valid CIM Association class name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only Objects associated to the source Object via this CIM Association class or one of its subclasses.
pResultClass - This string MUST either contain a valid CIM Class name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only the Objects of this Class name or one of its subclasses.
pRole - This string MUST either contain a valid Property name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only Objects associated to the source Object via an Association class in which the source Object plays the specified role. (i.e. the Property name in the Association class that refers to the source Object matches this value) If "Antecedent" is specified, then only Associations in which the source Object is the "Antecedent" reference are examined.
pResultRole - This string MUST either contain a valid Property name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only Objects associated to the source Object via an Association class in which the Object returned plays the specified role. (i.e. the Property name in the Association class that refers to the Object returned matches this value) If "Dependent" is specified, then only Associations in which the Object returned is the "Dependent" reference are examined.
pFilterQueryLanguage - The pFilterQueryLanguage represents the query language for the pFilterQuery argument. This must be left null if a pFilterQuery is not supplied. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pFilterQuery - The pFilterQuery specifies a query in the form of the query language specified by the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter. If this value is not null, the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter must be non-null. This value shall act as an additional filter on the result set. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pTimeout - This input parameter determines the minimum time the CIM server shall maintain the open enumeration session after the last Open or Pull operation (unless the enumeration session is closed). If the operation timeout is exceeded, the implementation may close the enumeration session at any time, releasing any resources allocated to the enumeration session. A pTimeout of 0 means that there is no operation timeout. That is, the enumeration session is never closed based on time. If pTimeout is null, the implementation shall choose an operation timeout. All other values for pTimeout specify the operation timeout in seconds. A implementation may restrict the set of allowable values for pTimeout. Specifically, the implementation may not allow 0 (no timeout). If the specified value is not an allowable value, the implementation shall return failure with the status code CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT.
pContinueOnError - If true, requests that the operation resume when an error is received. If a implementation does not support continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, it shall throw a WBEMException with the status code CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. If a implementation supports continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, the enumeration session shall remain open when a Pull operation fails, and any subsequent successful Pull operations shall return the set of elements that would have been returned if the failing Pull operations were successful. This behavior is subject to the consistency rules defined for pulled enumerations. If pContinueOnError is false, the enumeration session shall be closed when either the operation completes successfully or when a WBEMExcetpion is thrown.
pMaxObjects - Defines the maximum number of elements that this Open operation can return. The implementation may deliver any number of elements up to pMaxObjects but shall not deliver more than pMaxObjects elements. An implementation may choose to never return any elements during an Open operation, regardless of the value of pMaxObjects. Note that a CIM client can use a pMaxObjects value of 0 to specify that it does not want to retrieve any instances in the Open operation.
Returns:
The return value of a successful Open operation is an array of enumerated elements with a number of entries from 0 up to a maximum defined by pMaxObjects. These entries meet the criteria defined in the Open operation. Note that returning no entries in the array does not imply that the enumeration session is exhausted. Client must evaluate the EnumerateResponse.isEnd() to determine if there are more elements.
Throws:
WBEMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes must be returned. The ORDERED list is:
      CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
      CIM_ERR_SERVER_IS_SHUTTING_DOWN
      CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT
      CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
      CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND (the source instance was not found)
      CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_QUERY

pAssociationClass - This string MUST either contain a valid CIM Association class name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only Objects associated to the source Object via this CIM Association class or one of its subclasses.
pResultClass - This string MUST either contain a valid CIM Class name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only the Objects of this Class name or one of its subclasses.
pRole - This string MUST either contain a valid Property name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only Objects associated to the source Object via an Association class in which the source Object plays the specified role. (i.e. the Property name in the Association class that refers to the source Object matches this value) If "Antecedent" is specified, then only Associations in which the source Object is the "Antecedent" reference are examined.
pResultRole - This string MUST either contain a valid Property name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only Objects associated to the source Object via an Association class in which the Object returned plays the specified role. (i.e. the Property name in the Association class that refers to the Object returned matches this value) If "Dependent" is specified, then only Associations in which the Object returned is the "Dependent" reference are examined.
pIncludeClassOrigin - The class origin attribute is the name of the class that first defined the property. If true, the class origin attribute may be present for each property on all instances returned, even if requested the server may ignore the request and not return the class origin. If false, the class origin shall not be present.
pPropertyList - An array of property names used to filter what is contained in the Objects returned. Each CIMClass or CIMInstance returned only contains elements for the properties of the names specified. Duplicate and invalid property names are ignored and the request is otherwise processed normally. An empty array indicates that no properties should be included in the Objects returned. A null value indicates that all properties should be contained in the Objects returned. NOTE: Properties should not be specified in this parameter unless a non- null value is specified in the pResultClass parameter.
pFilterQueryLanguage - The pFilterQueryLanguage represents the query language for the pFilterQuery argument. This must be left null if a filterQuery is not supplied. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pFilterQuery - The pFilterQuery specifies a query in the form of the query language specified by the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter. If this value is not null, the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter must be non-null. This value shall act as an additional filter on the result set. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pTimeout - This input parameter determines the minimum time the CIM server shall maintain the open enumeration session after the last Open or Pull operation (unless the enumeration session is closed). If the operation timeout is exceeded, the implementation may close the enumeration session at any time, releasing any resources allocated to the enumeration session. A pTimeout of 0 means that there is no operation timeout. That is, the enumeration session is never closed based on time. If pTimeout is null, the implementation shall choose an operation timeout. All other values for pTimeout specify the operation timeout in seconds. A implementation may restrict the set of allowable values for pTimeout. Specifically, the implementation may not allow 0 (no timeout). If the specified value is not an allowable value, the implementation shall return failure with the status code CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT.
pContinueOnError - If true, requests that the operation resume when an error is received. If a implementation does not support continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, it shall throw a WBEMException with the status code CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. If a implementation supports continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, the enumeration session shall remain open when a Pull operation fails, and any subsequent successful Pull operations shall return the set of elements that would have been returned if the failing Pull operations were successful. This behavior is subject to the consistency rules defined for pulled enumerations. If pContinueOnError is false, the enumeration session shall be closed when either the operation completes successfully or when a WBEMExcetpion is thrown.
pMaxObjects - Defines the maximum number of elements that this Open operation can return. The implementation may deliver any number of elements up to pMaxObjects but shall not deliver more than pMaxObjects elements. An implementation may choose to never return any elements during an Open operation, regardless of the value of pMaxObjects. Note that a CIM client can use a pMaxObjects value of 0 to specify that it does not want to retrieve any instances in the Open operation.
Returns:
The return value of a successful Open operation is an array of enumerated elements with a number of entries from 0 up to a maximum defined by pMaxObjects. These entries meet the criteria defined in the Open operation. Note that returning no entries in the array does not imply that the enumeration session is exhausted. Client must evaluate the EnumerateResponse.isEnd() to determine if there are more elements.
Throws:
WBEMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes must be returned. The ORDERED list is:
      CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
      CIM_ERR_SERVER_IS_SHUTTING_DOWN
      CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE

Parameters:
pClassPath - The CIMObjectPath for the class for which the enumeration is to be performed.

If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pFilterQuery - The pFilterQuery specifies a query in the form of the query language specified by the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter. If this value is not null, the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter must be non-null. This value shall act as an additional filter on the result set. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.

The implementation may deliver any number of elements up to pMaxObjects but shall not deliver more than pMaxObjects elements. An implementation may choose to never return any elements during an Open operation, regardless of the value of pMaxObjects. Note that a CIM client can use a pMaxObjects value of 0 to specify that it does not want to retrieve any instances in the Open operation.
Returns:
The return value of a successful Open operation is an array of enumerated elements with a number of entries from 0 up to a maximum defined by pMaxObjects. These entries meet the criteria defined in the Open operation. Note that returning no entries in the array does not imply that the enumeration session is exhausted. Client must evaluate the EnumerateResponse.isEnd() to determine if there are more elements.

enumerateInstances shall enumerate the instances of the specified class in pClassPath and return zero or more CIMInstances.

Parameters:
pClassPath - The CIMObjectPath for the class for which the enumeration is to be performed.
pDeepInheritance - If true, this specifies that, for each returned Instance of the Class, all properties of the Instance must be present (subject to constraints imposed by the other parameters), including any which were added by subclassing the specified Class. If false, each returned Instance includes only properties defined for the specified Class in path.
pIncludeClassOrigin - The class origin attribute is the name of the class that first defined the property. If true, the class origin attribute may be present for each property on all instances returned, even if requested the server may ignore the request and not return the class origin. If false, the class origin shall not be present.
pPropertyList - An array of property names used to filter what is contained in the Objects returned. Each CIMInstance returned only contains elements for the properties of the names specified. Duplicate and invalid property names are ignored and the request is otherwise processed normally. An empty array indicates that no properties should be included in the Objects returned. A null value indicates that all properties should be contained in the Objects returned.
pFilterQueryLanguage - The pFilterQueryLanguage represents the query language for the pFilterQuery argument. This must be left null if a pFilterQuery is not supplied. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pFilterQuery - The pFilterQuery specifies a query in the form of the query language specified by the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter. If this value is not null, the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter must be non-null. This value shall act as an additional filter on the result set. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pTimeout - This input parameter determines the minimum time the CIM server shall maintain the open enumeration session after the last Open or Pull operation (unless the enumeration session is closed). If the operation timeout is exceeded, the implementation may close the enumeration session at any time, releasing any resources allocated to the enumeration session. A pTimeout of 0 means that there is no operation timeout. That is, the enumeration session is never closed based on time. If pTimeout is null, the implementation shall choose an operation timeout. All other values for pTimeout specify the operation timeout in seconds. A implementation may restrict the set of allowable values for pTimeout. Specifically, the implementation may not allow 0 (no timeout). If the specified value is not an allowable value, the implementation shall return failure with the status code CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT.
pContinueOnError - If true, requests that the operation resume when an error is received. If a implementation does not support continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, it shall throw a WBEMException with the status code CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. If a implementation supports continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, the enumeration session shall remain open when a Pull operation fails, and any subsequent successful Pull operations shall return the set of elements that would have been returned if the failing Pull operations were successful. This behavior is subject to the consistency rules defined for pulled enumerations. If pContinueOnError is false, the enumeration session shall be closed when either the operation completes successfully or when a WBEMExcetpion is thrown.
pMaxObjects - Defines the maximum number of elements that this Open operation can return. The implementation may deliver any number of elements up to pMaxObjects but shall not deliver more than pMaxObjects elements. An implementation may choose to never return any elements during an Open operation, regardless of the value of pMaxObjects. Note that a CIM client can use a pMaxObjects value of 0 to specify that it does not want to retrieve any instances in the Open operation.
Returns:
The return value of a successful Open operation is an array of enumerated elements with a number of entries from 0 up to a maximum defined by pMaxObjects. These entries meet the criteria defined in the Open operation. Note that returning no entries in the array does not imply that the enumeration session is exhausted. Client must evaluate the EnumerateResponse.isEnd() to determine if there are more elements.
Throws:
WBEMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes must be returned. The ORDERED list is:
 
      CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
      CIM_ERR_SERVER_IS_SHUTTING_DOWN

                                                  throws WBEMException
execQueryInstances shall execute a query to retrieve instances.

Parameters:
pObjectName - The CIMObjectPath representing the namespace to be used.
pFilterQuery - The pFilterQuery specifies a query in the form of the query language specified by the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter. If this value is not null, the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter must be non-null. This value shall act as an additional filter on the result set. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pFilterQueryLanguage - The pFilterQueryLanguage represents the query language for the pFilterQuery argument. This must be left null if a pFilterQuery is not supplied. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pReturnQueryResultClass - The pReturnQueryResultClass controls whether a class definition is returned in pQueryResultClass . If it is set to false, pQueryResultClass shall be set to null on output. If it is set to true , the value of the pQueryResultClass on output shall be a class definition that defines the properties (columns) of each row of the query result.
pTimeout - This input parameter determines the minimum time the CIM server shall maintain the open enumeration session after the last Open or Pull operation (unless the enumeration session is closed). If the operation timeout is exceeded, the implementation may close the enumeration session at any time, releasing any resources allocated to the enumeration session. A pTimeout of 0 means that there is no operation timeout. That is, the enumeration session is never closed based on time. If pTimeout is null, the implementation shall choose an operation timeout. All other values for pTimeout specify the operation timeout in seconds. A implementation may restrict the set of allowable values for pTimeout. Specifically, the implementation may not allow 0 (no timeout). If the specified value is not an allowable value, the implementation shall return failure with the status code CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT.
pContinueOnError - If true, requests that the operation resume when an error is received. If a implementation does not support continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, it shall throw a WBEMException with the status code CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. If a implementation supports continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, the enumeration session shall remain open when a Pull operation fails, and any subsequent successful Pull operations shall return the set of elements that would have been returned if the failing Pull operations were successful. This behavior is subject to the consistency rules defined for pulled enumerations. If pContinueOnError is false, the enumeration session shall be closed when either the operation completes successfully or when a WBEMExcetpion is thrown.
pMaxObjects - Defines the maximum number of elements that this Open operation can return. The implementation may deliver any number of elements up to pMaxObjects but shall not deliver more than pMaxObjects elements. An implementation may choose to never return any elements during an Open operation, regardless of the value of pMaxObjects. Note that a CIM client can use a pMaxObjects value of 0 to specify that it does not want to retrieve any instances in the Open operation.
pQueryResultClass - The pQueryResultClass is an output argument. It shall be null if the pReturnQueryResultClass input parameter is set to false. Otherwise, it shall return a class definition where each property of the class corresponds to one entry of the query select list. The class definition corresponds to one row of the query result. The class name of this returned class shall be "CIM_QueryResult". This class definition is valid only in the context of this enumeration.
Returns:
The return value of a successful Open operation is an array of enumerated elements with a number of entries from 0 up to a maximum defined by pMaxObjects. These entries meet the criteria defined in the Open operation. Note that returning no entries in the array does not imply that the enumeration session is exhausted. Client must evaluate the EnumerateResponse.isEnd() to determine if there are more elements.
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
WBEMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes must be returned. The ORDERED list is:
      CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
      CIM_ERR_SERVER_IS_SHUTTING_DOWN
      CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT

            language is not recognized)
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_QUERY (the filter query is not a valid query in the 
            specified filter query language)

Enumerates the Association classes that refer to a specified source CIM Class.

Parameters:
pObjectName - CIMObjectPath defining the source CIM class whose referring classes are to be returned. pObjectName shall contain the scheme, host, namespace and object name (class name).
pResultClass - This string shall either contain a valid CIM Class name or be null. The pResultClass filters the classes returned to contain only the classes of this Class name or one of its subclasses.
pRole - This string MUST either contain a valid Property name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only Objects referring to the source Object via a Property with the specified name. If "Antecedent" is specified, then only Associations in which the source Object is the "Antecedent" reference are returned.
pIncludeQualifiers - If true, all Qualifiers for each Object (including Qualifiers on the Object and on any returned Properties) shall be included in the classes returned. If false, no Qualifiers shall be present in each class returned.
pIncludeClassOrigin - The class origin attribute is the name of the class that first defined the property or method. If true, the class Origin attribute shall be present for each property and method on all classes returned. If false, the class origin shall not be present.
pPropertyList - An array of property names used to filter what is contained in the Objects returned. Each CIMClass returned shall only contains elements for the properties of the names specified. Duplicate and invalid property names are ignored and the request is otherwise processed normally. An empty array indicates that no properties should be included in the classes returned. A null value indicates that all properties should be contained in the classes returned.
Returns:
If successful, a CloseableIterator referencing zero or more CIMClasses meeting the specified criteria.
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - If the client implementation (or protocol) does not support the operation.
WBEMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes shall be returned along with zero or more instance of CIM_Error. The ORDERED list is:

referencePaths

EnumerateResponse<CIMObjectPath> referencePaths(CIMObjectPath pInstancePath,
                                                String pResultClass,
                                                String pRole,
                                                String pFilterQueryLanguage,
                                                String pFilterQuery,
                                                UnsignedInteger32 pTimeout,
                                                boolean pContinueOnError,
                                                UnsignedInteger32 pMaxObjects)
                                                throws WBEMException
referencePaths shall start an enumeration session for association instances that have references that refer to the instance defined in the pInstancePath parameter and return zero or more CIMObjectPath objects.

Parameters:
pInstancePath - The CIMObjectPath for the instance for which the enumeration is to be performed.
pResultClass - This string MUST either contain a valid CIM Class name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only the Objects of this Class name or one of its subclasses.
pRole - This string MUST either contain a valid Property name or be null. It filters the Objects returned to contain only Objects referring to the source Object via a Property with the specified name. If "Antecedent" is specified, then only Associations in which the source Object is the "Antecedent" reference are returned.
pFilterQueryLanguage - The pFilterQueryLanguage represents the query language for the pFilterQuery argument. This must be left null if a pFilterQuery is not supplied. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pFilterQuery - The pFilterQuery specifies a query in the form of the query language specified by the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter. If this value is not null, the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter must be non-null. This value shall act as an additional filter on the result set. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pTimeout - This input parameter determines the minimum time the CIM server shall maintain the open enumeration session after the last Open or Pull operation (unless the enumeration session is closed). If the operation timeout is exceeded, the implementation may close the enumeration session at any time, releasing any resources allocated to the enumeration session. A pTimeout of 0 means that there is no operation timeout. That is, the enumeration session is never closed based on time. If pTimeout is null, the implementation shall choose an operation timeout. All other values for pTimeout specify the operation timeout in seconds. A implementation may restrict the set of allowable values for pTimeout. Specifically, the implementation may not allow 0 (no timeout). If the specified value is not an allowable value, the implementation shall return failure with the status code CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT.
pContinueOnError - If true, requests that the operation resume when an error is received. If a implementation does not support continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, it shall throw a WBEMException with the status code CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. If a implementation supports continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, the enumeration session shall remain open when a Pull operation fails, and any subsequent successful Pull operations shall return the set of elements that would have been returned if the failing Pull operations were successful. This behavior is subject to the consistency rules defined for pulled enumerations. If pContinueOnError is false, the enumeration session shall be closed when either the operation completes successfully or when a WBEMExcetpion is thrown.
pMaxObjects - Defines the maximum number of elements that this Open operation can return. The implementation may deliver any number of elements up to pMaxObjects but shall not deliver more than pMaxObjects elements. An implementation may choose to never return any elements during an Open operation, regardless of the value of pMaxObjects. Note that a CIM client can use a pMaxObjects value of 0 to specify that it does not want to retrieve any instances in the Open operation.
Returns:
The return value of a successful Open operation is an array of enumerated elements with a number of entries from 0 up to a maximum defined by pMaxObjects. These entries meet the criteria defined in the Open operation. Note that returning no entries in the array does not imply that the enumeration session is exhausted. Client must evaluate the EnumerateResponse.isEnd() to determine if there are more elements.
Throws:
WBEMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes must be returned. The ORDERED list is:
 
      CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
      CIM_ERR_SERVER_IS_SHUTTING_DOWN
      CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT
      CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
      CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND (the source instance was not found)
      CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_QUERY
      CIM_ERR_FAILED (some other unspecified error occurred)

references shall start an enumeration session for association instances that have references that refer to the instance defined in the pInstancePath parameter and return zero or more CIMInstance objects.

Parameters:
pInstancePath - The CIMObjectPath for the instance for which the enumeration is to be performed.
pResultClass - This string shall either contain a CIM Class name or be null. It filters the instances returned to contain only the instances of this Class name or one of its subclasses.
pRole - This string shall either contain a Property name or be null. It filters the instances returned to contain only instances referring to the source instance via a Property with the specified name. If "Antecedent" is specified, then only Associations in which the source instance is the "Antecedent" reference are returned.
pIncludeClassOrigin - The class origin attribute is the name of the class that first defined the property. If true, the class origin attribute may be present for each property on all instances returned, even if requested the server may ignore the request and not return the class origin. If false, the class origin shall not be present.
pPropertyList - An array of property names used to filter what is contained in the instances returned. Each CIMInstance returned only contains elements for the properties of the names specified. Duplicate and invalid property names are ignored and the request is otherwise processed normally. An empty array indicates that no properties should be included in the Objects returned. A null value indicates that all non-null properties of the instance are included.
pFilterQueryLanguage - The pFilterQueryLanguage represents the query language for the pFilterQuery argument. This must be left null if a pFilterQuery is not supplied. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pFilterQuery - The pFilterQuery specifies a query in the form of the query language specified by the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter. If this value is not null, the pFilterQueryLanguage parameter must be non-null. This value shall act as an additional filter on the result set. If the implementation does not support the query language specified, the CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned. If the implementation does not support filtered enumerations, the CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED error shall be returned.
pTimeout - This input parameter determines the minimum time the CIM server shall maintain the open enumeration session after the last Open or Pull operation (unless the enumeration session is closed). If the operation timeout is exceeded, the implementation may close the enumeration session at any time, releasing any resources allocated to the enumeration session. A pTimeout of 0 means that there is no operation timeout. That is, the enumeration session is never closed based on time. If pTimeout is null, the implementation shall choose an operation timeout. All other values for pTimeout specify the operation timeout in seconds. A implementation may restrict the set of allowable values for pTimeout. Specifically, the implementation may not allow 0 (no timeout). If the specified value is not an allowable value, the implementation shall return failure with the status code CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT.
pContinueOnError - If true, requests that the operation resume when an error is received. If a implementation does not support continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, it shall throw a WBEMException with the status code CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. If a implementation supports continuation on error and pContinueOnError is true, the enumeration session shall remain open when a Pull operation fails, and any subsequent successful Pull operations shall return the set of elements that would have been returned if the failing Pull operations were successful. This behavior is subject to the consistency rules defined for pulled enumerations. If pContinueOnError is false, the enumeration session shall be closed when either the operation completes successfully or when a WBEMExcetpion is thrown.
pMaxObjects - Defines the maximum number of elements that this Open operation can return. The implementation may deliver any number of elements up to pMaxObjects but shall not deliver more than pMaxObjects elements. An implementation may choose to never return any elements during an Open operation, regardless of the value of pMaxObjects. Note that a CIM client can use a pMaxObjects value of 0 to specify that it does not want to retrieve any instances in the Open operation.
Returns:
The return value of a successful Open operation is an array of enumerated elements with a number of entries from 0 up to a maximum defined by pMaxObjects. These entries meet the criteria defined in the Open operation. Note that returning no entries in the array does not imply that the enumeration session is exhausted. Client must evaluate the EnumerateResponse.isEnd() to determine if there are more elements.
