            CIMInstance

A CIM instance, optionally including its instance path.

This object can be used like a dictionary to retrieve the property values.

Method Details

### __init__(self, classname, properties=`{``}`, qualifiers=`{``}`, path=None, property_list=None)
(Constructor)

source code

Initialize the CIMInstance object.

Parameters:
  - `classname` (`unicode` or UTF-8 encoded `str`) - Name of the creation class of the instance.

  - `properties` (`dict` or NocaseDict) - Optional: Dictionary of properties, specifying property values of the instance. The dictionary must contain one item for each property, where:

    - its key is the property name.
    - its value is a CIMProperty object representing the property value.
  - `qualifiers` (`dict` or NocaseDict) - Optional: Dictionary of qualifier values of the instance. Note that CIM-XML has deprecated the presence of qualifier values on CIM instances.

  - `path` (CIMInstanceName) - Optional: Instance path of the instance.

    If `None`, the instance is not addressable or the instance path is unknown or not needed.

    Default: `None`.

  - `property_list` (list of strings) - Optional: List of property names for use by some operations on this object.
Raises:
  - `TypeError`
  - `ValueError`
Overrides: object.__init__

### update_existing(self, *args, **kwargs)

source code

Update property values iff the property previously exists.

Update D from E and F: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] (if E has keys else: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v) then: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

Like update, but properties that are not already present in the instance are skipped.

### __repr__(self)
(Representation operator)

source code

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__
  (inherited documentation)
