Can instances be enumerated using imperius
Hi ,
I intend to use imperius to create policies. Just wanted to know whether its possible to enumerate instances in the Decision section ? Also where can I downlaod the jars for imperius ?
Thanks,
Sahana

We are in the process of building a release, at which point we'll have a
set of downloadable jars. For now you have two choices (that I know of)
1) you can build them your self using the instructions at
http://incubator.apache.org/imperius/community/contribute.html
2) Or you can use the Policy Management Library that we built on top of
Imperius (PDPs, PEPs, etc.) which includes the Imperius .class files. See
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/wpml.
Hope that helps.

Hey Sahana,
According to the CIM-SPL spec any CIM instance used in the policy needs to be accessible by traversing from the 'anchor' class that you specify in the import statement.
So currently it is not possible to enumerate instances of a class thats unrelated to the anchor class.
You might be able to get around that by using custom expressions though this article talks about adding custom expressions to the Java-SPL (very similar to CIM-SPL except it uses Java objects) http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/autonomic/library/ac-spl2/?S_TACT=105AGX09&S_CMP=HP
Hope that helps
Thanks
Neeraj

RE: Can instances be enumerated using imperius
Hi Neeraj,
This is what I want to do, in the Condition section I want to enumerate a class which is not associated with the current class. I assume the 'collect' function is used to collect associations to the current class.
So I cant use collect in my use case. In case the number of enumerated instances is > 0 then I take the action.
Rgds,
Sahana

Hello Sahana,
> whether its possible to enumerate instances in the Decision section ?
I assume you wish to use the CIM-SPL. I am not clear what you mean by enumerate instances? Can you elaborate on that?
Thanks
Neeraj
