<h3>OpenPegasus and OpenSLP V 2.0 (OpenPegasus 2.13.0)</h3>

As of 2.13.0, OpenPegasus slp fully supports IPV6  and has been

tested with OpenSLP 2.0 (Recently released by <a href="http://openslp.org">OpenSlp.org</a>)

While testing OpenPegasus with OpenSLP 2.0 the OpenPegasus team found two

issues with this version of OpenSLP.  The patches documented below

allow this version of OpenSLP to work with OpenPegasus

1) SLPReg used TCP connection previously, but it now uses UDP. Therefore,

a BUFFER_OVERFLOW exception occurs.  This is because UDP cannot

handle attribute size greater than network MTU size. In such cases,

according to the specification, OpenSLP should automatically switch to

TCP.  Since this has not been implemented in OpenSlp 2.0, the

workaround used by OpenPegasus to force use of TCP may be found at <a title="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/" href="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/">http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/</a>.

2) On Windows, slpd service fails to start when IPV6 is enabled and throws

the error message "Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly". More

details and the fix for this issue are in the bug <a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/140/">http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/140/</a>.

<h3>Interop namespace name (OpenPegasus 2.13.0)</h3>

Effective with the release of OpenPegasus  2.13 the "interop"

namespace support for existing or

older repositories which used

"root/PG_InterOp" has been added via a new option in the "reupgrade"

utility. Users with existing repositories may use this option to migrate

the repository from "root/PG_InterOp" to

"interop" namespace.  See <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9414" title="RESOLVED FIXED - enhance repupgrade to support "interop" namespace">bug

9414</a> (PEP304) for

details.

For this to work, the build  option "PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE" has

to be

set to "interop". Only then will the "-i" option in repupgrade be enabled.

Once the repository is upgraded with "-i" , the namespace

"root/PG_InterOp"

will cease to exsist. Clients using "root/PG_InterOp" must now use

"interop".

Prior to version 2.12 OpenPegasus used an OpenPegasus internal variable to

define "root/PG_InterOp" as the name for the OpenPegasus namespace with no

defined way to change this variable.  Note that an unsupported method

involving editing one file and rebuilding OpenPegasus was defined as a

workaround in the <a href="file:///home/kschopmeyer/dev/pgogbug9611releasenotes/pegasus/%20https://wiki.opengroup.org/pegasus-wiki/doku.php?id=faq:openpegasus_build_and_installing">OpenPegasus

wiki faq</a>s.

However, since the definition of a standard name for this namespace in

DMTF and SNIA specifications ("interop" or "root/interop" with "interop"

being the preferred alternative) the use of  "root/PG_InterOp" has

become an issue. Support for forward-compatibility is a fundamental design

principle for the OpenPegasus project. As a community, our goal is for

well-behaved OpenPegasus providers or clients, using only the externally

defined OpenPegasus interface, to continue to work with each version

upgrade of OpenPegasus.

Effective OpenPegasus 2.12.0 a new build variable was defined 

(PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE) which allows an OpenPegasus builder to define

an alternate name for the Interop namespace to either "interop" or

"root/interop" (ex. PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE = interop).  Once this

build variable is defined and OpenPegasus compiled, the actual name of the

interop namespace is what was defined in this varaible and all components

of OpenPegasus use this as the interop namespace name include the complete

OpenPegasus test suite.  The only name for the interop namespace will

be the name defined through this build variable.  This is the logical

approach for implementations starting a new repository.

In order to supexport PEGASUS_CLIENT_TRACE=keyword:keywordport users with

existing repositories, in 2.13.0,  migration of existing repositories

was integrated into the "repupgrade" utility to allow existing OpenPegasus

environments to smoothly move the server from use of the old name 

for the interop namespace "root/PG_InterOp" to 

the prefered name "interop".

NOTE: If the interop namespace

name is redefined with PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE clients using the

"root/PG_InterOp" namespace will not connect with the updated version of

OpenPegasus. The OpenPegasus team searched for a solution to the issue

supporting the old and new name at the same time and concluded that there

were so many issues that it could not effectively be done.

<h3>Configure Script to Control OpenPegasus Builds (OpenPegasus

2.13.0)(Bug 9592)</h3>

OpenPegasus is moving from the use of environment variables to a configure

script to control build.  This is both to make it easier to define

the build variables, etc. and to be more compatibile with the Linux/Unix

standard build environment.  However, because OpenPegasus must build

on a number of platforms that do not support the full Linux/Unix

configuration tool set, this is an OpenPegasus defined configure

script.  The first very experimental version is part of OpenPegasu

2.13.0 but this version has a number of limitations (see the OpenPegasus

Bugzilla) and will be expanded in the next versions of OpenPegasus.

The goal is to replace the setting of most of the OpenPegasus build

environment variable with options in the pegasus/configure script where

those options are comatible with the Linux standard for defining configure

options and those options control the entire build process including placement

of output and choice of build options.

<h3>Tracing Client Requests and Responses(OpenPegasus2.13.0)</h3>

OpenPegasus has

long contained a hidden build controlled function to allow tracing at

the client through an environment variable

(PEGASUS_CLIENT_TRACE_ON).  In 2.13.0 this was a) make a permanent

part of of the environment (Bug 9564) and the calling convention

slightly changed

to make it simpler to use. The original format for the

environment variable was:

<pre class="bz_comment_text" id="comment_text_1">export PEGASUS_CLIENT_TRACE=keyword:keyword where the keyword was "con" | "log" | "both" This was changed to: keyword:keyword separately define Client input and output keyword: Client Input only :keyword Client Output Only keyword Client Input and output defined by keyword</pre>

so that the normal setup for a console output trace would be

<pre> export PEGASUS_CLIENT_TRACE=con</pre>

<li>OpenPegasus Interop Namespace - The default interop namespace

name in OpenPegasus is "root/PG_Interop".  In versions of

OpenPegasus prior to 2.12.0 this could be changed during build by

modifying a string definition in the code. Effective version 2.12.0

this  has become a build option with the build configuraton

environment variable PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE = <name for this

namespace> however, the default if built without this change is

still "root/PG_InterOp". Effective with OpenPegasus 2.13.0 the reupgrade utility has been extended to allow existing repositories to be converted from the use of "root/PG_Interop" to "interop" (See discussion above).  The default in the CVS source code is still "root/PG_InterOp".

<li>OpenPegasus WSMAN protocol on windows does not handle NaN, INF,

or -INFHowever, t (bug  <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8836">8836</a>)

- If requests or responses include properties or parameters with

floating point property types (Real32 or Real64) with the special

states NaN, INF, or -INF on a Windows platform, the input is not

accepted because these special strings are not understood by the

decoder on Windows.</li>

<li>OpenPegasus outputs Nan, INF, -INF special values for Real32 and

Real64 property and Parameter types for the CIM/XML protocol -

(bug <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9392">9392</a>).

Today the DMTF Specification DSP0201 allows only numeric information

in the format definition for this type and does not all the special

strings Nan, etc. However, OpenPegasus actually outputs the special

strings if  that is what is defined in the internal values. 

OpenPegasus does not allow these special Strings on input however,</li>

<li>OpenPegasus does not handle covered properties - (bug <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3571">3571</a>)

Covered properties (properties which have the same name in a

superclass and subclass without overridding the property in the

superclass) are not allowed in OpenPegasus. While the requirement for

this functionality was added to DSP0004 subsequent to version 2.4, the

general agreement is that the requirement itself is not supportable

and particularly not with the existing OpenPegasus APIs. 

Further, the requirement is expected to be removed in the future (i.e

CIM 3.0).
