The SMS_CIRelation Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class, in Configuration Manager, that defines the relationship between two configuration items, for example, the superseding of one item by another.

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

Class SMS_CIRelation : SMS_BaseClass
{
	UInt32 FromCIID;
	UInt32 RelationType;
	UInt32 ToCIID;
};

The SMS_CIRelation class does not define any methods.

Properties

FromCIID


Data type: UInt32Access type: Read/WriteQualifiers: [key]The ID of one of the configuration items. The value of this property usually depends on the value of ToCIID in the context specified by RelationType. For example, this property can represent a child configuration item ID (FROMCIID) that is derived from a parent configuration item ID (TOCIID).The ID of a configuration item is represented by the CI_ID property of SMS_ConfigurationItemBaseClass Server WMI Class.

For example, this property can represent a parent configuration item ID (TOCIID) from which a child configuration item ID (FROMCIID) is derived.The ID of a configuration item is represented by the CI_ID property of SMS_ConfigurationItemBaseClass Server WMI Class.
