Subject: Action Items - Example of a Profile, and info on the CIM operations References and Associators

A sample profile is attached (dealing with a watchdog timer). This is still a WIP, but illustrates the basic info in a profile.

Regarding traversing relationships, CIM allows a client to get all classes or instances associated to a particular object via any association or a specific association (see the Associators operation) OR to get all or specific association classes or instances that refer to a particular object (see the References operation). Also, it is possible to return only class names or instance references, instead of detailed object/property info (see the AssociatorNames and ReferenceNames operations). All the details are in the attached document, AssociatorsAndReferences.pdf.
