were made

Prior to version 2.12 OpenPegasus used an OpenPegasus internal variable

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="%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.

Effective OpenPegasus 2.12.0 a new build variable has been

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.

However, today OpenPegasus is committed to the single namespace defined

at build "(root/PG_InterOp", "interop", or "root/interop"). However, a

number of OpenPegasus  installations are committed to the

"root/PG_InterOp" name and must maintain their repositories through

updates of OpenPegasus. While we are working on this issue today (which

means that a running version of OpenPegasus must accept both the and new

names and not confuse clients, listeners or providers that would use

either name) the OpenPegasus team did not complete that work for this

release. See bug <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9250">9250</a>

for more information about possible solutions and our progress on a

solution.

NOTE: If you redefine the interop namespace name with

PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE clients using the "root/PG_InterOp" namespace

will not connect with the updated version of OpenPegasus.

for more information.</li>

<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

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"

</li>

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

or -INF (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).
