To Create an Event Filter

Steps

1. Create an instance of the CIM_IndicationFilter class

   CIMClass cimfilter = cc.getClass (new CIMObjectPath "CIM_IndicationFilter"), true, true, true, null); CIMInstance ci = cimfilter.newInstance();

2. Specify the name of the event filter

   Name = "filter_all_new_solarisdiskdrive"

3. Create a WQL string identifying event indications to return

   String filterString = "SELECT * FROM CIM_InstCreation WHERE sourceInstance ISA Solaris_DiskDrive";

4. Set property values in the cimfilter instance to identify the following information:

   • Name of the filter

   • Filter string to select CIM events

   • Query language (WQL) to parse the query string

   ci.setProperty("Name", new 
           CIMValue("filter_all_new_solarisdiskdrives"));
   ci.setProperty("Query", new CIMValue(filterString));
   ci.setProperty("QueryLanguage", new CIMValue("WQL");)

5. Create a cimfilter instance that is called filter. Store the instance in the CIM Object Manager Repository

   CIMObjectPath filter = cc.createInstance(new CIMObjectPath(), ci);

Example 4–22 Creating an Event Filter

CIMClass cimfilter = cc.getClass(new CIMObjectPath
                                ("CIM_IndicationFilter"), true);
CIMInstance ci = cimfilter.newInstance();
//Assuming that the test_a class exists in the name space
String filterString = "select * from CIM_InstCreation where 
                       sourceInstance isa test_a"

ci.setProperty("query", new CIMValue(filterString));
CIMObjectPath filter = cc.createInstance(newCIMObjectPath(), ci);
