WSMan::WSBasic Examples

Using Enumeration Modes

To use one of the enumeration modes like EnumerateEPR or EnumerateEPRandObject, call the Enumerate operation with EnumerationMode enabled. You can also specify the enumeration mode in the constructor.

$result = $client->Enumerate(class_name => 'CIM_Processor',
                                 #namespace => 'root/cimv2', #if needed.
                                 enummode => 'EnumerateEPR'
                                 );

Registering Classes

To perform operations on vendor-specific classes, you must register them first with the client. The actual URL depends on your WS-Management software.

$client->register_class_ns(Linux => 'http://www.dmtf.org/linux');

Using Enumerate and Pull Operations

#Construct the client.
$client = WSMan::WSBasic->new(

                         address => 'http://something.somewhere.com'
                        );
#Execute the Enumerate method.

                                 #namespace => 'root/cimv2'
                                 );
if($result->fault){
#If a fault occurred, then print the faultstring
die $result->faultstring;
}
else{
   #If no fault occurred then get the enumid.
   $enumid = $result->result;
}
$result = $client->PullRelease(
                                 class_name => 'CIM_Processor',
                                 enumid => $enumid,
                                 action => 'Pull',
                                 #namespace => 'root/cimv2'
                                  ); 
if($result->fault){
   #If a fault occurred, then print the faultstring
   die $result->faultstring;
}  
else{
# Do stuff with $result, which is a SOAP::SOM object containing a deserialized XML reply.
# It is better to use the Generic Operations module, built on top of this module.
