# Class CIM_PolicyAction
extends CIM_Policy

A class representing a rule-specific or reusable policy action to be performed if the PolicyConditions for a Policy Rule evaluate to TRUE. Since all operational details of a PolicyAction are provided in subclasses of this object, this class is abstract.

## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
CreationClassName | string |
Description | string | CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
Key | boolean | true
MaxLen | uint32 | 256
DoActionLogging | boolean |
Description | string | DoActionLogging causes a log message to be generated when the action is performed.
PolicyActionName | string |
Description | string | A user-friendly name of this PolicyAction.
Key | boolean | true
MaxLen | uint32 | 256
PolicyRuleCreationClassName | string |
Description | string | For a rule-specific PolicyAction, the CreationClassName of the PolicyRule object with which this Action is associated. For a reusable PolicyAction, a special value, 'NO RULE', should be used to indicate that this Action is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule.
Key | boolean | true
MaxLen | uint32 | 256
PolicyRuleName | string |
Description | string | For a rule-specific PolicyAction, the name of the PolicyRule object with which this Action is associated. For a reusable PolicyAction, a special value, 'NO RULE', should be used to indicate that this Action is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule.
Key | boolean | true
MaxLen | uint32 | 256
SystemCreationClassName | string |
Description | string | The name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of the System object in whose scope this PolicyAction is defined. This property helps to identify the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyAction exists. For a rule-specific PolicyAction, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyAction, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Action. Note that this property, and the analogous property SystemName, do not represent propagated keys from an instance of the class System. Instead, they are properties defined in the context of this class, which repeat the values from the instance of System to which this PolicyAction is related, either directly via the PolicyActionInPolicyRepository association or indirectly via the PolicyActionInPolicyRule aggregation.
Key | boolean | true
MaxLen | uint32 | 256
SystemName | string |
Description | string | The name of the System object in whose scope this PolicyAction is defined. This property completes the identification of the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyAction exists. For a rule-specific PolicyAction, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyAction, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Action.
