mofmorph

The mofmorph utility processes CIM Classes defined in a MOF file and converts them to the following formats:

  • HTML
  • XML based on the xmlCIM mapping
  • XSD based on the WS-CIM mapping
  • Provider source code template written in Java using the JSR48 WBEM API
  • Client source code template written in Java using the JSR48 WBEM API
  • Provider source code template written in C using the CMPI API

Run mofmorph from the following directory

Platform Directory
Windows C:\Program Files\ws\sdk\bin
Linux /usr/ws/sdk/bin
Solaris /opt/ws/sdk/bin

Example

The following examples assume that the DMTF CIM Schema v2.23 has been extracted as follows:

C: \> cd \Program Files\ws\standards\dmtf\schema\2.24.1\final
C: \> unzip cim_schema_2.24.1Final-MOFs.zip
creating
creating Application/
inflating Application/CIM_Action.mof
:
inflating User/CIM_VerificationService.mof
C: \>

Generate HTML files

The following command generates HTML files for each class in the DMTF CIM Schema v2.24

Arguments:

-o cimv224\html Directory for output
wsi Generate WS, Inc style JavaDoc
HTML Use HTML mapping

..\..\standards\dmtf\schema\2.24.1\final\cim_schema_2.24.1.mof

The following shows the command and the results.

C:> cd \Program Files\ws\sdk\bin
C:> mkdir cimv224
C:> mkdir cimv224\html
C:> mofmorph -o cimv224\html wsi HTML ..
\..\standards\dmtf\schema\2.24.1\final\cim_schema_2.24.1.mof

PRS_Transaction.html
schema.html
C:>

This example reads and processes all the classes referenced in cim_schema_2.24.1.mof and generates a set of HTML files in subdirectory cimv224\html. One JavaDoc style HTML file is generated for each CIM class in the CIM 2.24 Schema. For example, for CIM_ManagedElement, mofmorph generates CIM_ManagedElement.html.

mofmorph also generates an index.html file that references all of the individual .html files.

NOTE: If the -o option were not used, then all files are created in the current directory.

The following shows the contents of the generated CIM_AccountIdentity HTML page:
