Name | Data Type | Value
ContinuedInNextMessage | boolean |
Description | string | An indicator that allows combining multiple messages into one logical message. The messages being combined need to be consecutive messages in an ordered sequence of messages (e.g. an indexed array of embedded instances of CIM_Message). A value of True indicates that the logical message continues with the next message after this message. A value of False or Null indicates that the logical message ends at this message. For instances of CIM_Message that are not part of an ordered sequence of messages, this property is meaningless and shall be Null.
Message | string |
Description | string | The message text, with all dynamic elements expanded. The property value shall constructed by combining all static and dynamic message elements defined in the message definition in the order defined, using the values specified in the MessageArguments array property for the dynamic elements, in the order of the array.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_Message.MessageArguments
Required | boolean | true
MessageID | string |
Description | string | An opaque string that uniquely identifies, within the scope of the OwningEntity, the format of the Message.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_Message.OwningEntity

OwningEntity | string |
Description | string | A string that uniquely identifies the entity that owns the definition of the message. OwningEntity shall include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity or standards body defining the message.
