<h2><a name="Functionality of This Release">Functionality of This Release</a></h2>

The overall level of functionality in the Pegasus environment effective with

this release is as follows:

CIM Server

<h3>CIM Server Functionality</h3>

The following paragraphs list the functions in this release.  All

functions are considered community tested and operational unless specifically

noted below. Features that are marked alpha or beta are not generally of the

quality or completeness for production usage.  Interfaces that are

part of the Pegasus public interface definitions but that the Pegasus team feels

may change are marked experimental. In many cases these features  and

interfaces are conditionally compiled with special environment variables. PEP

174 provides more detailed information on how to enable functionality that is

conditionally compiled in this release.

suite.

to NOT use the instance repository as default).

<h2>Conformance with DMTF Specifications</h2>

<h2><a name="Conformance with DMTF Specifications">Conformance with DMTF Specifications</a></h2>

Pegasus tries to conform to the CIM specifications.  It is a major goal

It is a major goal

of the OpenPegasus project to both drive and utilize the DMTF CIM/WBEM

specifications.  However, today there are a number of known differences. 

As of Pegasus 2.3.2, some of the differences include the following:

As of this release, some of the differences include the following:

1. Provider Registration - Pegasus supports registration through a set of

include any specific support for lifecycle indications.</li>

<li>

3. Interop Schema implementation differences.

Today Pegasus provides alternatives to some of the classes in the <span

class=SpellE>Interop Schema including CIM_StatisticalData.

Note that the CIM_ObjectManager and other similar

classes are only compiled with the SLP option.

4. Today Pegasus does not support the execQuery pending the availability of

a standard for the query language.  Pegasus is expected to support

execQuery in a future release with the new CQL query language and possibly WQL.

5. Instance qualifiers and class

Instance qualifiers and class

qualifiers on some Operations -

qualifiers on some Operations -

The DMTF specifications are unclear regarding the inclusion of qualifiers on

CIM instances.  Some CIM Client implementations expect instances returned

from the CIM Server to include the qualifiers defined in the class definition

(such as KEY qualifiers on properties).  Pegasus is based on the

(such as KEY qualifiers on properties).   Pegasus today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in

interpretation that class-defined qualifiers are not included in instances, so

accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is that

incompatibilities may exist with clients that rely on these qualifiers.<o:p></o:p>

Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance parameter is

supplied on instance operations.  However, Pegasus today is inconsistent in

<o:p> </o:p>

the return of qualifiers so that the user should NOT depend on Pegasus

accurately honoring the includeQualifier parameter for instance operations. 

In the future it is expected that Pegasus will deprecate the use of qualifiers

on instance operations completely.

6. HTTP Chunking � Today the Pegasus

</li>

implementation defines itself as supporting HTTP 1.1 but does NOT support

<li>

chunking. This is a high priority for a future version.

Pegasus compiler does not today support thi functions.  This function is

8. MultiRequest Oprations - Pegasus does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest

MultiRequest Oprations - Pegasus does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest

Operation option.

</li>

<li>

LocalOnly option on some instance Operations -

With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM Operations over HTTP, the

definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the GetInstance and EnumerateInstances

operations was modified. This change was incorrect, resulted in reduced

functionality and introduced a number of backward compatibility issues. As a

result of issues introduced by this change, we strongly recommend that CIM

Clients set LocalOnly = false and do not rely on the use of this parameter to

filter the set of set of properties returned.

9. LocalOnly option on some instance Operations - Because of

</li>

incompatible changes made between CIM Operation specification versions, the DMTF

<li>

has determined that there is confusion in the use of the LocalOnly parameter on

instance operations and the

results it will return.  The definition changed between version 1.0 and

version 1.1 of the CIM Operations

over HTTP Specification  so that the information provided to

the requestor may be different between a CIM Operations version 1.0 specification

implementation and a version 1.1 implementation.  Therefore, the Pegasus

community discourages the use of this parameter on any operations. NOTE:

We recommend that client users always set localOnly to False (remember that the

default is true) on instance

operations to avoid the confusion of different information from different CIM

Server implementations.

NOTE: This problem does not apply to the class

MOFCompiler namespace pragma - The Pegasus compiler does not support the namespace pragma.

operations such as getClass, etc.
