RE: How do I pass in an array of references to cimcli?

I think you can look into example that is given in

src/Providers/TestProviders/Load/CLITestProviderR.mof
src/Providers/TestProviders/CLITestProvider(ReferenceParamTest)

for example ( how to pass ref parameter array to invoke method )
>>>
bash-4.1# cimcli im Test_CLITestEmbeddedClass -n test/TestProvider
embeddedInstParamMethod referenceParamArray={Test_CLITestProviderClass
id=100 }  referenceParamArray={Test_CLITestProviderClass id=101 }
Return Value= 0
reference referenceParamArray=Test_CLITestProviderClass.Id="100"
Test_CLITestProviderClass.Id="101"
<<<

Ugh retract previous message. Brain is fried. The provider is fine
accepting reference param array. The problem is cimcli doesn't support
passing an array of refs.

References is fine, but for array of references, it looks like I need to
pull some changes from the nightlies.

The reference could be   specified using the string form of a CIM object
path.  For a
class reference, it is simply  specifying the class name or
"<namespace>:<classname>".

some test example

TestMethodTestProvider.cpp
(src/Providers/TestProviders/MethodTestProvider/testclient)



/* Test for method invoke and response that handles ref parameter arrays.
   This functions sends two ref array in parameters and expects exactly the
   same reference arrays back in the two out parameters.
*/
void callMethodRefParamArray(const CIMName& methodName) {
    try
    {
        CIMClient client;
        client.connectLocal();

        Array<CIMParamValue> inParams;
        Array<CIMParamValue> outParams;

        CIMObjectPath instName =
            CIMObjectPath("Test_MethodProviderClass.Id=1");

        CIMObjectPath inParamA1(
            String("//atp:77/root/cimv2:CIM_ComputerSystem."
                "last=\"Rafter\",first=\"Patrick\""));

        CIMObjectPath inParamA2(
            String("//atp:77/root/cimv2:CIM_ComputerSystem."
                "last=\"Rafter\",first=\"Rafter\""));

        CIMObjectPath inParamB1(
            String("//atp:77/root/cimv2:CIM_ComputerSystem."
                "last=\"Rafter\",first=\"Fred\""));

        CIMObjectPath inParamB2(
            String("//atp:77/root/cimv2:CIM_ComputerSystem."
                "last=\"Rafter\",first=\"John\""));

        Array<CIMObjectPath> InParamAArray;
        InParamAArray.append(inParamA1);
        InParamAArray.append(inParamA2);
        CIMValue inParam1(InParamAArray);

        Array<CIMObjectPath> InParamBArray;
        InParamBArray.append(inParamB1);
        InParamBArray.append(inParamB2);
        CIMValue inParam2(InParamBArray);

        inParams.append(CIMParamValue("InParam1", inParam1));
        inParams.append(CIMParamValue("InParam2", inParam2));

        CIMValue returnValue = client.invokeMethod(ou
            NAMESPACE,
            instName,
            methodName,
            inParams,
            outParams);

        Uint32 rc;
        returnValue.get(rc);
        PEGASUS_TEST_ASSERT(rc == 10);

        PEGASUS_TEST_ASSERT(outParams.size() == 2);

        Array<CIMObjectPath> outParam1;
        Array<CIMObjectPath> outParam2;

        for (Uint32 i = 0; i < 2; i++)
        {
            if (outParams[i].getParameterName() == "OutParam1")
            {
                outParams[i].getValue().get(outParam1);
            }
            else if (outParams[i].getParameterName() == "OutParam2")
            {
                outParams[i].getValue().get(outParam2);
            }
            else
            {k
                PEGASUS_TEST_ASSERT(0);
            }
        }
        PEGASUS_TEST_ASSERT(outParam1 == inParam1);
        PEGASUS_TEST_ASSERT(outParam2 == inParam2);
    }
    catch (Exception& e)
    {
        cerr << "Error: " << e.getMessage() << endl;
        exit(1);
    }
}


I am not sure whether cimcli handles that parameter type correctly , if you
see any issue with ref parameter passing you can raise a defect in bugzilla
to  address it

I’m using Pegasus 2.11.1 with Bug 9007 patch
http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9007

This is what I need to pass:

Description ("The list of Identities to assign privilege to share")
        : Translatable] reference Identities[],

This is what I’m trying to do:

How do I pass an array reference as a parameter properly?
