MOF WSDL and XSD API definitions

A complement to the profile documentation is the Managed Object File (MOF) that documents the class implementation of the Dell-specific CIM classes. Web Service Description Language (WSDL) and XML Schema Definition (XSD) files describe the resulting functionality.

Managed object file

The Common Information Model (CIM) is an open standard that defines how managed elements in an IT environment are represented as a common set of objects and relationships between them. This is intended to allow consistent management of these managed elements, independent of their manufacturer or provider.

Files that contain the normative description for classes, properties, and methods are contained within the Managed Object File (MOF).

NOTE: To access the MOFs, on the Dell TechCenter (delltechcenter.com/LC) page, under Reference Specifications, click MOFs.

Web service description language

The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service. A WSDL description of a web service (also referred to as a WSDL file) provides a machine-readable description of how the service can be called, what parameters it expects, and what data structures it returns.

XML schema description

An XML schema (also known as XSD) is a description of a type of XML document, typically expressed in terms of constraints on the structure and content of documents of that type, above and beyond the basic syntactical constraints imposed by XML itself. These constraints are generally expressed using some combination of grammatical rules governing the order of elements.

Web services interface guide

The web Services Interface Guide (WSIG) serves as a guideline for utilizing the functionality available from embedded Lifecycle Controller Remote Services web Services interfaces. It provides information and examples for utilizing the web services for WSMAN protocol using Windows WinRM and open source WSMANCLI command-line utilities.
