"ServiceAffectsElement represents an association between a "
"Service and the ManagedElements that might be affected by its "
"execution and the order in which the service might affect its "
"element. Instantiating this association indicates that "
"running the service may change, manage, provide functionality "
"for,or pose some burden on the ManagedElement in a specific "
"sequence. This burden might affect performance, throughput, "
"availability, and so on.")]
class Dell_OEMOrderedServiceAffectsElement : CIM_ServiceAffectsElement {
[Experimental, Description (
"AssignedSequence is an unsigned integer 'n' that indicates the "
"relative sequence in which order the ManagedElement instances "
"are affected. When 'n' is a positive integer, it indicates a "
"place in the sequence of affected elements, with smaller "
"integers indicating earlier positions in the sequence. The "
"special value '0' indicates 'don't care'. If two or more "
"affected elements have the same non-zero sequence number, then "
"the ordering between those elements is irrelevant, but they "
"must all be serviced in the appropriate order in the overall "
"sequence. \n"
"A series of examples will make order of elements clearer: "
"If all elements affected have the same sequence number, \n"
"regardless of whether it is '0' or non-zero, any \n"
"order is acceptable. \n"
"The values: \n"
"1:ELEMENT A \n"
"2:ELEMENT B \n"
"1:ELEMENT C \n"
"3:ELEMENT D \n"
"indicate two acceptable orders: A,C,B,D or C,A,B,D, \n"
"since A and C can be ordered in either sequence, but \n"
"only at the '1' position. \n"
