Modifying a Provider

You can make changes to a Provider class while the CIM Object Manager and provider are running. But you must stop and restart the CIM Object Manager to make the changes take effect.

How To Modify a Provider

1. Edit the provider source file.

2. Compile the provider source file. For example:

   % javac MyProvider.java

3. Become root on your system by typing the following command at the system prompt:

   % su

4. Type the root password when you are prompted.

5. Change directories to the location of the init.wbem command by typing the following command:

   # cd /etc/init.d/

6. Stop the CIM Object Manager by typing the following command:

   # init.wbem -stop

7. Restart the CIM Object Manager by typing the following command:

   # init.wbem -start
