CIM-SPL Client Side Provider
 

 
 What is it? 
  
-----------
  
CIM-SPL Client Side Provider is a CIM binding for Apache Imperius.
A CIM binding allows the Imperius engine to interact with objects in
the CIM environment.
The Client side provider operates as a CIM Client using the SBLIM APIs to 
interact with a running instance of a CIM server. The Client Side provider
implements the CIM-SPL standard specification.


Prerequisites
-------------
1. SBLIM CIM client jars: Download the latest SBLIM Java CIM client jars from
http://sblim.wiki.sourceforge.net/CimClient

2. A CIM Server: Like OpenPegasus 2.7.x download and install from http://www.openpegasus.org
(Note: As the Client side provider uses the SBLIM jars any compatible CIM Server an be used)


Build
------
1. Install the SBLIM jar into the Maven local repository using the following commands

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=c:/sblim.jar -DgroupId=sblim \
    -DartifactId=sblimCIMClient -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar

2. In the top level directory issue the command

ant cimspl.runtime

Samples
--------
Sample polices are located under the /samples folder. 
To run the policies you need to
1. Install and run a SBLIM compatible CIM-server like OpenPegasus
2. Register the /samples/mofs/testElement.mof using the command
cimmof -n root/cimv2 testElement.mof

Refer to the OpenPegasus documentation for details on executing cimmof
3. Set environment variables ANTLR_HOME, SBLIM_HOME
4. run the cimsplcmdline.bat / .sh 

Usage is as follows:
 [-s <server name>] [-p <port>] [-u <user>] [-p <pwd>]
               -l <policy name> (DISPLAYS THE POLICY) OR
               -c <policy path> <policy name> (CREATES A POLICY) OR
               -m <policy path> <policy name> (MODIFIES A POLICY) OR
               -d <policy name> (DELETES A POLICY) OR
               -x <policy name> (EXECUTES A POLICY) OR
