CIMOM command-line utilities

You can use a set of command-line utilities to control or change the CIMOM environment. These command-line utilities include cimmof, cimconfig, cimprovider, cimtrust, cimcrl, cimsub, cimreparchive and cimcli.

For the IBM® i implementation, the cimconfig, cimsub, and cimprovider commands require *IOSYSCFG and *ALLOBJ special authorities. The cimtrust and cimcrl command requires *ALLOBJ, *IOSYSCFG, and *SECADM special authorities. You do not need special authorities to run the cimmof and cimcli commands.

In CIMOM, you need to comply with the namespaces and with the authority checks that are based on the objects.

Run all of the command-line utilities from a command line or in IBM i Portable Application Solutions Environment (IBM i PASE).
