IBM Mining Tool for CIM Test Simulation

IBM Mining Tool for CIM Test Simulation is a handy tool that helps you manage data about applications and devices. It uses the Common Information Model (CIM), which is like a common language for different platforms. This means that administrators and software can control various applications and devices in a similar way, making it easier to share information across networks like the Internet.

Understanding the Common Information Model (CIM)

The CIM is an industry standard that helps describe data related to applications and devices. Right now, the CIM model specification for these devices is being developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).

What is CIM Object Manager (CIMOM)?

The CIM Object Manager (CIMOM) plays a crucial role here. It allows users to manage CIM objects on systems that support Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM). A CIM object represents managed resources, such as printers or hard drives. To manage these hardware devices through CIM, your management console needs to talk with a CIMOM server.

Features of IBM Mining Tool

The IBM Mining Tool for CIM Test Simulation lets you set up a local CIMOM server. This server simulates everything just like it would with a remote server. The tool captures available information through a mining method, helping simulate any CIM-based device management application quickly.

Why Try IBM Mining Tool?

This tool creates a software stack made up of class schema definitions, a localized simulation of the CIMOM server, and a repository for hardware configuration info–all stored locally! So if you're looking to test data queries at high speeds while ensuring accurate device management, give this tool a shot!
