Re: Getting incomplete object path

It is not clear to me what the concern is?

GetInstance() and enumerateInstances() return complete instances of objects in the search criteria, unless filtered by a passed in property list.
But enumerateInstanceNames() does not return complete instances.  It only returns namespace and key property values sufficient so that getInstance() could be used to get the rest.

Pegasus::enumerateInstances should not be equal to Pegasus::enumerateInstanceNames.
It should return the same number of instances, but not the same amount of information about each instance.

While Pegasus::getInstance and Pegasus::enumerateInstances could return different number of instances, but should have the same amount of information about each instance.

Pegasus::enumerateInstances should be equal to Pegasus::enumerateInstanceNames, running Pegasus::getInstance over each individual Pegasus::CIMObjectPath retyrned from enumerateInstanceNames. I am not getInstance will return an array.
