Donal, I think that your statement is both incorrect and unjustified.  There
is much value in CIM for both provisioning and runtime management. There is
complexity there also - since the managed environment is quite complex. If
you would care to expand further on what is wrong with CIM, I would be happy
to address the issues with you.

BTW, as regards the requirements of a Job, these can indeed be
modeled/associated as instances of SoftwareResource in CIM V2.9.  Just
because the info is not in JSIM does not mean that it is not in CIM.
