.. If user shall initiate the same process, what is the
response value... for this which class I need to enumerate?</span><br></div>
Look here:
<a href="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/cim-html/2.34.0/CIM_ConcreteJob.html" target="_blank">http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/cim-html/2.34.0/CIM_ConcreteJob.html</a><br>
Search for "PercentComplete" property. You may also provide
indications user can subscribe to.<br>
This way he doesn't need to poll for status. With asynchronous
invocation there are just a few<br>
possible values you can return: "Unspecified Error" (2) or "Method
Parameters Checked - Job Started" (4096).<br>
Return the first one if parameters are invalid or the job could not
be started, otherwise start the job, make instance of
CIM_ConcreteJob, return it as an Out parameter and make 4096 the
return value of method.<div><br>

What optional features you want to implement (like Ordered
Dependencies, Software Bundles etc.).<br>
What other functionality you are missing in the profile
(verification)?<br>
Whether you are content with synchronous methods? - easy to
implement.<br>
And when you choose asynchronous, whether to make indications to
notify clients?<br>
How to represent your jobs in separate thread or process?<div><br>
