New Solaris WBEM Developer's Guide

The new Solaris WBEM Developer's Guide is a combination of the two books on WBEM that were part of earlier Solaris 9 releases: the Solaris WBEM SDK Developer's Guide and the Solaris WBEM Services Administration Guide. This change was made to order sequentially the tasks that are associated with WBEM development and deployment. Other changes are listed here:

• The chapter on SNMP was removed.

• In the chapter on “Using the CIM Object Manager,” the steps for upgrading from a previous Solaris release were changed. The change consisted of removing the suggestion to convert existing CIM Object Manager data from the older format that was used in early WBEM releases. Instead, the new suggestion is to recompile all of the MOF files by using the mofcomp command.

• The introductory chapters from the Solaris WBEM SDK Developer's Guide and the Solaris WBEM Services Administration Guide were merged into a single introductory chapter.
