ActiveCim¶ ↑

• github.com/dmacvicar/activecim

ActiveCim is a ActiveRecord/ActiveResource like API to get data from a CIMOM server.

CIM properties are available with Ruby style so APropertyLikeThis would be available as a_property_like_this.

Features, What is implemented?

• defining classes

• find(:all)

• gathering properties

• method invokation

• abstracted connector API which allow to use any method to get the data (cim client, api, fake, etc) See ConnectorAdapter class documentation for information on what do you need to implement for a new connector

Requirements¶ ↑

• You can use ruby-sfcc (github.com/dmacvicar/ruby-sfcc) connector or the wbemcli based one.

• nokogiri and activesupport

Quickstart¶ ↑

class Linux_EthernetPort < ActiveCim::Base
  self.site = "http://localhost/root/cimv2"
end

ports = Linux_EthernetPort.find(:all)

ports.each do |port|
  puts port.id
  port.device_id
  port.system_name
end

Roadmap¶ ↑

Plan (in more or less priority order):

• Implement selective find

• ws-man connector

• implement associations

• implement writing of properties

• implement calling methods

Mission¶ ↑

ActiveCim effort has as a goal to access CIM data from WebYaST.

Credits¶ ↑

• Uses lot of code from Rails ActiveResource

• Inspired in good part by en.opensuse.org/PowerCIM from Martin Mrazik but with different goals: Rails usage, hide CIM as much as possible, Ruby semantics, and ActiveRecord/Resource feeling
