Purpose

The cimsub command lets you manage CIM indications on the local CIM server. The command can list, enable, disable and remove indication subscriptions, filters and handlers. However, you cannot modify or create a handler or a filter. The CIM indication must be created or modified by a CIM client program.

list

Lists all or selected indication subscriptions, filters, and handlers, and displays the requested information about the instance(s).

enable

Enables a specific subscription. Sets a subscription into the enabled state, and the CIM server starts to process it.

disable

Disables a specific subscription. Sets a subscription into the disabled state, and it is no longer processed by the CIM server.

remove

Removes a specific indication subscription, filter, and/or handler from the CIM server. The information is removed within the CIM server and can only be recreated by a client application. The administrator must take care that a filter or handler is not referenced by any other subscription. If this is the case, but the filter or handler is deleted anyway, this subscription will no longer work.

In order to use the cimsub command, the CIM server must be running on the local system and a user needs to have CONTROL access to profile CIMSERV in class WBEM.
