Service Instance Get Content

Service Instance Get Content

The properties of the ServiceInstance managed object.

The content property is identical to the return value from the RetrieveServiceContent method.

Use the content property with the PropertyCollector to perform inventory traversal that includes the ServiceInstance. (In the absence of a content property, a traversal that encounters the ServiceInstance would require calling the RetrieveServiceContent method, and then invoking a second traversal to continue.)
