The SMS_ExtendedStatus Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class supports an error object, in Configuration Manager, that supplies the cause and nature of the current error.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

Class SMS_ExtendedStatus : __ExtendedStatus
{
	 String CauseInfo;
	 String Description;
	 UInt32 ErrorCode;
	 String File;
	 UInt32 Line;
	 String ObjectInfo;
	 String Operation;
	 String ParameterInfo;
	 String ProviderName;
	 String SQLMessage;
	 UInt32 SQLSeverity;
	 UInt32 SQLStatus;
	 UInt32 StatusCode;
};

Methods

The SMS_ExtendedStatus class does not define any methods.

Properties

CauseInfo


Data type: StringAccess type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneOptional error information. This property can contain the reason the error occurred, along with other information. For example, Software Product Compliance sets this property to the field number that caused the error.
Description


Data type: StringAccess type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneOptional detailed description of an error or an operational status.
ErrorCode


Data type: UInt32Access type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneComposite error code that defines the severity, facility, action, object, and reason for the error. The Ssperrcode.h header file contains macros to evaluate the error condition. The following table lists the five-bit field masks that make up this property. The default value is 0.

Mask Description

Severity (bits 31-30)

Value that identifies whether the application can continue and to what extent it can continue. The three levels of severity are functional, minor, and major.

A functional error allows an application to continue with any aspect of Configuration Manager.

A minor error allows an application to continue with other areas of Configuration Manager that are not related to the area that caused this error.

If the application receives a major error, however, it should stop processing requests and terminate.

Facility (bits 27-22)

The facility that was being accessed when the error occurred, for example, internal, file, Structured Query Language (SQL), or security.

Action (bits 21-16)

The action that failed, for example, open, read, or persist.

Object (bits 15-8)

The type of object against which the action was being performed, for example, a parameter or an instance.

Reason (bits 7-0)

The reason for the failure. This value might not be set. For example, R_PDFERROR is set if an error occurred while loading a package definition file (.pdf).
File


Data type: StringAccess type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneModule that raised the error condition. The default value is "".
Line


Data type: UInt32Access type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneLine number inside the module where the error was raised. The default value is 0.
ObjectInfo


Data type: StringAccess type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneOptional error information that contains the object that caused the error, the parameter that caused the error, or the Structured Query Language (SQL) message text, along with other data. For example, Software Product Compliance sets this property to the number of the record that caused the error.
Operation


Data type: StringAccess type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneOperation taking place at the time of the failure or anomaly.
ParameterInfo


Data type: StringAccess type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneOne or more parameters involved in the error or status change.
ProviderName


Data type: StringAccess type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneThe name of the provider that caused or reported the error or status change. If a provider was not involved, this string is set to "Windows Management".
SQLMessage


Data type: StringAccess type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneError message text of the last SQL error. This property is set to null if no SQL error is present.
SQLSeverity


Data type: UInt32Access type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneSeverity code of the last SQL error. This property is set to null if no SQL error is present.
SQLStatus


Data type: UInt32Access type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneError code of the last SQL error. This property is set to null if no SQL error is present.
StatusCode


Data type: UInt32Access type: Read/WriteQualifiers: NoneError or information code for an operation.
