We have worked to minimize the dependence of Pegasus on other

software packages and tools. Currently Pegasus has the following

dependencies:

1. GNUMAKE - To simplify the building of Pegasus across

multiple platforms we have standardized on a set of build tools

including: GNUMAKE. We are using GNUMAKE 3.79.1 successfully both in

Windows and Linux environments.

GNUMAKE is available from :

NOTE: A set of the required tools for windows platforms is

available on the openpegasus web site.

2. MU.EXE - To minimize the difference between Linux and

Windows for GNUMAKE, we have created a utility called MU.exe. This

utility is required for Pegasus make with ONLY Windows environment. It

is provided as an alternative to requiring a number of UNIX utilities

(SH, RM, etc.) on the windows platform and effectively provides the

functions of these utilities that GNUMAKE needs. MU is not required on

UNIX or LINUX platforms.

NOTE: The binary for MU.EXE is not distributed in the Pegasus bin

directory. You must build it separately. MU source code is part of the

distribution in the directory src/utils/MU with its own make file. You

must compile MU before you initiate the Pegausu make.

<h1><a name="docs">Pegasus Documentation</a></h1>

The documentation is currently in preparation.  Much of Pegasus is documented in

the PEGASUS PEPs which are the basis for approval of Pegasus functionality, changes,

plans, etc.  These documents are openly available on the PEGASUS web site.  The

preliminary documentation is not provided with this release. The current documentation is

maintained both as a manual created under the tool DOC++ in the runtime subdirectory

manual/html (see doc/devManual to create), as an api document also creatable from the

source tree (see doc/apidoc) and as other miscellaneous documentation in the doc

directory. Also there is a set of release notes. Normally the release notes for the

current release are available in the root source directory of CVS.

Note that the Pegasus WEB site at The Open Group will be the source of most

documentation in the future and today is the source of most discussion and design

documentation.

Pegasus includes several make files that enable you to quickly build or refresh the

Pegasus runtime, test files, test client and the repository. To use these make files, type

"make" followed by one of the supplied targets.

To build Pegasus, run the following commands from the root directory of the Pegasus

distribution:

<ol>

<li>Enter <tt>make</tt> This builds all of Pegasus.

</li>

</ul>

<li>Enter <tt>make repository</tt> This creates the repository, which is needed to serve

data. To create the additional namespaces that represent the test support you can also

execute "make testrepository".

<h1><a name="Pegasus Installation">Pegasus Installation</a> </h1>

Pegasus today is provided only as a source distribution. Note that

there is code for a Linux RPM distribution but the project is not yet

releasing binaies.

To install Pegasus, you must check it out using CVS (Common Version

System) or download a snapshot. You download, compile, and use it.

For the snapshot, the installation of Pegasus involves expanding the

snapshot distribution files, building the runtime, the test files and

test clients, and building the repository.

<h1><a name="Building Pegasus">Building Pegasus </a></h1>

1. Check that you have requisite programs (listed in Pegasus

Dependencies). These include GNU Make, MU.EXE (if using Windows), Flex,

and Bison (Flex and Bison only required if changes will be made to the

MOF compiler or WQL parser).

Be sure these are on the path.

2. Define the following three environment variables:

<ul>

<li>PEGASUS_ROOT - this should be the "pegasus" directory

you've pulled from CVS </li>

<li>PEGASUS_HOME - to point to a directory to contain output

binary files (e.g., set it to $HOME/pegasus_home). Then the output

will go into $HOME/pegasus_home/bin and $HOME/pegasus_home/lib </li>

<li>PEGASUS_PLATFORM - this must be set to a supported platform

identifier.</li>

</ul>

This identifier has the following form:

<Operating-System>_<Architecture>_<Compiler>

For example (Linux on IA32 platform using the GNU Compiler):

LINUX_IX86_GNU

For a complete list of platforms supported and platform support

keywords, refer to the platform make files found in directory <font

face="Courier New">pegasus/mak

</blockquote>

Note: if you plan on doing parallel builds, you might consider

setting PEGASUS_HOME to something like this:

$HOME/pegasus_home_LINUX_IX86_GNU

That way, the output of each build will be placed in its own

directory.

3. Now place $PEGASUS_HOME/bin on your path

and

Place $PEGASUS_HOME/lib on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for Unix only).

For RedHat/SuSE/UL, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add $PEGASUS_HOME/lib

4. Change to the root of the Pegasus distribution and type "make"

(where make refers to GNU make).

5. Then create the repository, which is needed to serve data. "make

repository". Note that to create the additional namespaces, etc. that

represent the test support you can also execute "make testrepository:

6. To test the build type "make tests". The following make targets

are supported:

<ul>

<li><default> - Build everything. </li>

<li>clean - Clean out all objects, libs, and executables. </li>

<li>depend - Create the dependencies. </li>

<li>repository - Create the repository in $PEGASUS_HOME/repository </li>

<li>tests - Execute all tests (except client server tests). </li>

<li>rebuild - clean, depend, <default> </li>

<li>world - depend, <default> </li>

</ul>

The Pegasus Client server tests are executed separately from the

above because they require the initiation of separate process for the

Pegasus server and Pegasus client. To execute these tests please refer

to the scripts in pegasus/mak/BuildMakefile - refer to the prestarttests

and poststarttests.

does it all for you, but in case you are wondering what it does or how

to do it manually:

<h1><a name="test">Testing a Pegasus Installation</a></h1>

Pegasus includes an extensive set of test facilities as part of the CVS enviroment,

including:

<ul>

a). Copy the rpm/wbem file in-to /etc/pam.d directory. This

notifies PAM what kind of libraries to use when authenticating

<li>Test Clients - There are several clients that have been built specifically to

Pegasus.

</ul>

<ul>

test Pegasus, or parts of Pegasus, including TestClient, Client, CLI, ipinfo, osinfo,

b). Modify CIMServer configuration options:

<pre> usePAMAuthentication=true enableAuthentication=true </pre>

WbemEsec, etc. See the src/Clients directory for more information. These programs require

</blockquote>

And if you want to allow 'root' to login (*not recommended*)

a server complete with repository to be running.  Note that some of these tests use

<pre> enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true </pre>

</blockquote>

using the cimconfig utility, such as:

classes and instances that are only installed with the "make testrepository"

<pre> cimconfig -p -s usePAMAuthentication=true </pre>

</blockquote>

functions including test namespaces and extra classes and instances in those namespaces

</ul>

and additional providers from the providers/sample and proviers/testproviders directories.

</li>

<li>Sample and test providers -  Test providers exist for the major provider

types in the providers/sample directories and the providers/testProviders directory </li>

<li>Unit Tests - Most Pegasus functions include unit tests for the functions.

These are normally executed with the "make tests" command which can be executed

at many different levels of the source tree from the top level to execute all of the unit

tests to individual directories.  Usually the unit test functions can be found in

test directories immediately below their corresponding source code (i.e  common/tests

is the unit test functions for the common directory). Unit tests are executed without the

server being operational and normally do not require the existence of a Class repository. </li>

<li>An end-to-end Test Suite - the directory "test" contains a set of

operations tests that cover the major CIM operations.  See the make file TestMakefile

in the PEGASUS_ROOT directory to execute these tests.  This set of tests executes an

extensive set of fixed tests and compares the results against predefined results.</li>

</ul>

The user is authenticated using HTTP Basic method, thererfore it is

strongly suggested you use SSL connection instead of normal HTTP

connection. Refer to section <a href="#Configuring%20SSL">Configuring

Pegasus to use SSL</a> for more details on creating and using SSL keys.

ICU (International Components for Unicode) refers to the set of

libraries that Pegasus uses to run globalized. For example: these

libraries are used to load messages in different languages, format

currency and numbers according to a specific locale etc. In order to

enable globalization in Pegasus, Pegasus must be built with ICU enabled,

ie. the right environment variables must be set prior to running

This is a separate test tool that allows Pegasus requests to be initiated from any WEB

details. That said, when users run "make poststarttests" to verify the

integrity of a Pegasus download, a series of tests are run that require

the cimserver to be running. These tests currently depend on specific

browser and that uses a WEB browser, CGI scripts and HTML pages for the formatting and

messages returned from the server. When ICU is enabled, all messages

come from the resource bundles and these usually do not match the

hardcoded default messages within Pegasus. These hardcoded default

successfully. If the ICU enabled server is started without disabling

message loading from the bundles, "make poststartests" will fail. In

order to run "make poststarttests" successfully with ICU enabled, an

environment variable called PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES must exist

prior to starting the server. Once this is defined, when the cimserver

starts, all messages generated will be the default hardcoded messages.

This will enable "make poststarttests" to complete successfully. Once

"make poststarttests" is complete, you should stop the cimserver and

then undefine PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES. If this variable is left

defined, Pegasus will not be able to load messages using ICU resource

bundles.

When users run "make poststarttests" to verify the integrity of a

Pegasus download, a series of tests are run that require the cimserver to be running.

These tests currently depend on specific messages returned from the server. When ICU is

enabled, all messages come from the resource bundles and these usually do not match the

hardcoded default messages within Pegasus. These hardcoded default messages are what the

this variable is left defined, Pegasus will not be able to load messages using ICU

resource bundles.

When running the make

tests command with ICU enabled, the PEGASUS_MSG_HOME environment variable must be set to

the home directory where the ICU resource bundles are built. By default the resource

bundles are built into directories below PEGASUS_HOME/msg, so that should be the setting

for PEGASUS_MSG_HOME.
