Development Process
Because WMI abstracts the manageable entities with CIM and a collection of providers, the development of a provider implies several steps. The major steps can be summarized as follows:
Step 1 – Create the manageable entity model
- Define a model
- Implement the model
Step 2 – Create the WMI Provider
- Determine the provider type to implement
- Determine the hosting model of the provider
- Create the provider template with the ATL wizard
- Implement the code logic in the provider
- Register the provider with WMI and the system
Step 3 – Test the provider
Step 4 – Create consumer sample code

“It is part of the nature of consciousness, of how the mental apparatus works, that free reason is only a very occasional function of people’s “thinking” and that much of the process is made of reactions as standardized as those of the keys on a typewriter.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
