MSFT_WmiError

A Windows error object that encapsulates what is in CIM_Error as well as includes error code, errorCategory, errorMessage and errorType.

Quick Start

Properties

In this WMI class, all WMI properties are read-only. You can only read values but not change them.

CIMStatusCode

Data type UInt32

The CIM status code that characterizes this instance.

This property defines the status codes that MAY be return by a conforming CIM Server or Listener. Note that not all status codes are valid for each operation. The specification for each operation SHOULD define the status codes that may be returned by that operation.

The following values for CIM status code are defined:

$CIMStatusCode_ReturnValue = 
@{
    1='CIM_ERR_FAILED'
    2='CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED'
    3='CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE'
    4='CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER'
    5='CIM_ERR_INVALID_CLASS'
    6='CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND'
    7='CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED'
    8='CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_CHILDREN'
    9='CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_INSTANCES'
   10='CIM_ERR_INVALID_SUPERCLASS'
   11='CIM_ERR_ALREADY_EXISTS'
   12='CIM_ERR_NO_SUCH_PROPERTY'
   13='CIM_ERR_TYPE_MISMATCH'
   14='CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED'
   15='CIM_ERR_INVALID_QUERY'
   16='CIM_ERR_METHOD_NOT_AVAILABLE'
   17='CIM_ERR_METHOD_NOT_FOUND'
   18='CIM_ERR_UNEXPECTED_RESPONSE'
   19='CIM_ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE_DESTINATION'
   20='CIM_ERR_NAMESPACE_NOT_EMPTY'
   21='CIM_ERR_INVALID_ENUMERATION_CONTEXT'
   22='CIM_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION_TIMEOUT'
   23='CIM_ERR_PULL_HAS_BEEN_ABANDONED'
   24='CIM_ERR_PULL_CANNOT_BE_ABANDONED'
   25='CIM_ERR_FILTERED_ENUMERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED'
   26='CIM_ERR_CONTINUATION_ON_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED'

CIMStatusCodeDescription

Data type String

A free-form string containing a human-readable description of CIMStatusCode. This description MAY extend, but MUST be consistent with, the definition of CIMStatusCode.

error_Category

Data type UInt16

Error Category.

error_Code

Data type UInt32

Error code.

error_Type

Data type String

Error Type.

error_WindowsErrorMessage

Data type String

Windows error message.

ErrorSource

Data type String

The identifying information of the entity (i.e., the instance) generating the error. If this entity is modeled in the CIM Schema, this property contains the path of the instance encoded as a string parameter. If not modeled, the property contains some identifying string that names the entity that generated the error. The path or identifying string is formatted per the ErrorSourceFormat property.

ErrorSourceFormat

Data type UInt16

An array containing the dynamic content of the message.

$ErrorSourceFormat_ReturnValue = 
@{
    0='Unknown'
    1='Other'
    2='CIMObjectPath'
   ..='DMTF Reserved'
}

ErrorType

Data type UInt16

Primary classification of the error. The following values are defined:

$ErrorType_ReturnValue = 
@{
    0='Unknown'
    1='Other'
    2='Communications Error'
    3='Quality of Service Error'
    4='Software Error'
    5='Hardware Error'
    6='Environmental Error'
    7='Security Error'
    8='Oversubscription Error'
    9='Unavailable Resource Error'
   10='Unsupported Operation Error'
   ..='DMTF Reserved'
}

hDefKey

Data type UInt32

Optional parameter that specifies the tree that contains the sSubKeyName path. The default value is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (0x80000002). The following trees are defined in Winreg.h:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (0x80000000)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER (0x80000001)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (0x80000002)

HKEY_USERS (0x80000003)

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (0x80000005)

HKEY_DYN_DATA (0x80000006)

Note that HKEY_DYN_DATA is a valid tree for Windows 95 and Windows 98 computers only.

Message

Data type String

The formatted message. This message is constructed by combining some or all of the dynamic elements specified in the MessageArguments property with the static elements uniquely identified by the MessageID in a message registry or other catalog associated with the OwningEntity.

MessageArguments

Data type String

An array containing the dynamic content of the message.

MessageID

Data type String

An opaque string that uniquely identifies, within the scope of the OwningEntity, the format of the Message.

OtherErrorSourceFormat

Data type String

A string defining “Other” values for ErrorSourceFormat. This value MUST be set to a non NULL value when ErrorSourceFormat is set to a value of 1 (“Other”). For all other values of ErrorSourceFormat, the value of this string must be set to NULL.

OtherErrorType

Data type String

A free-form string describing the ErrorType when 1, “Other”, is specified as the ErrorType.

OWningEntity

Data type String

A string that uniquely identifies the entity that owns the definition of the format of the Message described in this instance. OwningEntity MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity or standards body defining the format.

PerceivedSeverity

Data type UInt16
