Object |
Returns a new instance of the MOMClassInstance object. |
Remarks
The CreateClassInstance method instantiates a class within the Management Pack or another referenced Management Pack, allowing it to be discovered.
After an object is created, properties can be set. After the properties are set, the instance must be added to the discovery data by using the MOMDiscoveryData.AddInstance method, and the MOMScriptAPI.Return method must be called to submit the discovery data to MOM.
Requirements
Platforms: Requires Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008
Version: Requires Operations Manager 2007
Example
This example creates a discovery data class instance as identified by the input parameters. Another example can be seen in the CreateDiscoveryData method.
