<p><b>Indications</b><br> |
|
Process indications are operational in the Server. This includes support |
|
for subscriptions, filters, and indication handlers, the provider API for |
|
indications and the CIMXML indication handler. The Pegasus server can be used as |
|
an Indication client. The Client indication API support is complete, |
|
but the interfaces are marked experimental for version 2.3 because |
|
this is the first major release version of Pegasus in which these APIs were |
|
available. </p> |
|
|
|
<p><b>Query Language</b></p> |
|
|
|
<p>The query language today is based on WQL and is implemented and used for |
|
filters. However, the <span class=SpellE>executeQuery</span> operation |
|
has not been implemented pending the availability of a standard DMTF Query |
|
language.</p> |
|
|
|
<p><b>Class Repository</b></p> |
|
|
|
<p>XML based file/directory Class repository. All class and qualifier operations |
|
access this repository.</p> |
|
|
|
<p><b>Instance Repository</b></p> |
|
|
|
<p>XML based file/directory Instance repository. The instance repository |
|
is used as the default repository unless a flag is set disabling this |
|
repository for client operations.</p> |
|
|
|
<p><b>Security</b></p> |

|
|
|
<p>Pegasus 2.3.2 includes as a <span class=SpellE>compilable</span> option a |
|
new set of code that allows multiple provider managers and also a second |
|
provider manager for the CMPI C interfaces.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> |
|
</span>This C interface is the result of a project by the IBM SBLIM team (<span |
|
class=GramE>see<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span></span><a |
|
href="http://www-124.ibm.com/sblim/)">http://www-124.ibm.com/sblim/)</a> and |
|
also the working draft of the Open Group specification for these interfaces |
|
which is in review now within the <span class=SpellE>WBEMSource</span> |
|
Initiative (<a href="http://www.wbemsource.org/">http://www.wbemsource.org</a>). |
|
This provides a standardized C level interface for creating providers that can |
|
be registered with the Pegasus CIM Server in the same manner as the current C++ |
|
providers.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>Today, the CMPI provider manager and interfaces are considered experimental |
|
and are subject to change in future versions of Pegasus.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>The CMPI provider manager, sample providers and the hooks into Pegasus are |
|
all conditionally compiled with the environment variables ENABLE_CMPI_PROVIDER_MANAGER |
|
and ENABLE_PROVIDERMANAGER_2. See PEP 144 for details.</p> |

|
</blockquote> |
|
|
|
<p><span class=SpellE><b>CIM_Schema</b></span><br> |
|
The default <span class=SpellE>CIM_Schema</span> loaded with this release is |
|
the DMTF CIM 2.7 Final release. In addition, Pegasus includes a number of |
|
local classes defined for Pegasus. These are visible in the Schemas |
|
directory. CIM 2.8<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>schema is |
|
also available in the CVS but is not the default schema for compile.<br> |
|
The mechanism to switch to the <span class=SpellE>the</span> 2.8 schema is via |
|
environment variable: PEGASUS_CIM_SCHEMA = (See <span class=SpellE>Config.mak</span>).</p> |
|
|
|
<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-indent:.5in'>export PEGASUS_CIM_SCHEMA=CIM28</p> |
|
|
|
<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>NOTE: the CIM 2.5 schema is maintained in the |
|
CVS repository because it remains the basis for parts of the Pegasus test |
|
environment.</p> |
|
|
|
<p><b>Pegasus MOF Compiler</b></p> |
|
|
|
<p>Pegasus implements a MOF compiler that can operate either at the client |
|
interface to the Pegasus CIM Server (<span class=SpellE>cimmof</span>) or directly interfacing with a CIM |
|
repository (<span class=SpellE>cimmofl</span>).</p> |
|
|
|
<p>The direct interface compiler is used primarily to provide an initial |
|
class/instance repository. <font color="#FF0000"><b>WARNING:</b></font> |
|
the use of <span class=SpellE>cimmofl</span> |
|
to manipulate instances in the repository bypasses any provider that is |
|
registered to serve these instances and simply installs the instances in the |
|
instance repository; this may result in 1) bad data in the repository if there |
|
are registered providers, 2) corruption of the repository if the CIM Server is |
|
running or, 3) MOF data that is loaded but not available until the server is |
|
stopped and restarted in some cases. Use of <span class=SpellE>cimmofl in |
|
general is discouraged and particularly </span> to manipulate |
|
instances served by a registered providers (ex. |
|
Provider registration). Use of <span |
|
class=SpellE>cimmof</span> rather that <span class=SpellE>cimmofl</span> |
|
wherever possible.</p> |

<p><b>Pegasus Interface APIs</b></p> |
|
|

<p>Details of the Pegasus public interfaces for release 2.3 are listed in PEP 96 |
|
available from the web <span class=GramE>site(</span><a |
|

|
This document is the <span class=SpellE>authorative</span> source for the list |
|
of publicly supported Pegasus APIs. The Client and Provider API were |
|
originally frozen at the Pegasus version 2.1 release. The interfaces in the |
|
release of Pegasus 2.1 are forward compatible to release 2.3 Well-behaved |
|
clients and providers compiled to the Pegasus 2.1 or 2.2 interfaces should be |
|
compatible with Pegasus 2.3 without compilation. There have been |
|
extensions and new interfaces added for release 2.3 and these are shown as |
|
experimental. The Pegasus public |
|
interfaces includes the following major functions</p> |

<p><b>WMI <span class=SpellE>Mapper</span></b></p> |
|
|
|
<p>The WBEM to WMI <span class=SpellE>Mapper</span> provides a way to access |
|
WMI data from Windows platform systems. It converts incoming XML/CIM requests |
|
to Microsoft WMI requests, executes the requests, converts the results to |
|
XML/CIM and returns the results to the client. WMI <span class=SpellE>Mapper</span> |
|
receives an HTTP message containing the XML/CIM request. It decodes the XML |
|
message and extracts from the HTTP message header the user credentials provided |
|
on the connection (username and password). The WMI <span class=SpellE>Mapper</span> |
|
authenticates these credentials, verifying if the provided credentials have |
|
access to the desired WMI data. This is done because the WMI <span |
|
class=SpellE>Mapper</span> runs as a service, logged on using an account with |
|
administrative rights (which has all access to WMI data). Because of this, the |
|
WMI <span class=SpellE>Mapper</span> impersonates the user credentials provided |
|
on the HTTP message to ensure that the calling user has rights to browse WMI |
|
data. Hence, ALL requests made to the WMI <span class=SpellE>Mapper</span> MUST |
|
contain user credentials.<br> |

<h2>Conformance with DMTF Specifications</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>Pegasus tries to conform to the CIM specifications. 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:</p> |
|
|
|
<p>1. Provider Registration - Pegasus supports registration through a set of |
|
Provider registration classes and does not support the DMTF defined Provider |
|
Qualifier. See the readme for more information on provider registration.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>2. Indications. Today Pegasus supports process indications but does not |
|
include any specific support for lifecycle indications.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>3. <span class=SpellE>Interop</span> Schema implementation differences. |
|
Today Pegasus provides alternatives to some of the classes in the <span |
|
class=SpellE>Interop</span> Schema including <span class=SpellE>CIM_StatisticalData</span>. |
|
Note that the <span class=SpellE>CIM_ObjectManager</span> and other similar |
|
classes are only compiled with the SLP option.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>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.</p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>5. Instance qualifiers and class |
|
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 |
|
interpretation that class-defined qualifiers are not included in instances, so |
|
incompatibilities may exist with clients that rely on these qualifiers.<o:p></o:p></span></p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>6. HTTP Chunking – Today the Pegasus |
|
implementation defines itself as supporting HTTP 1.1 but does NOT support |
|
chunking. This is a high priority for a future version.</span></p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal> </p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal>7. CIM MOF compiler functions for instance aliasing - The |
|
Pegasus compiler does not today support thi functions. This function is |
|
planned for a future version.</p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal> </p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal>8. MultiRequest Oprations - Pegasus does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest |
|
Operation option.</p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal> </p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal>9. LocalOnly option on some instance Operations - Because of |
|
incompatible changes made between CIM Operation specification versions, the DMTF |
|
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. <b>NOTE:</b> |
|
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.</p> |
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal><b>NOTE:</b> This problem does not apply to the class |
|
operations such as getClass, etc.</p> |
|
|
|
<h2>Changes in Release 2.3</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>The development and release of each version of Pegasus is defined and |
|
controlled through Pegasus PEP documents. PEP 57 is the controlling document |
|
this release and lists the original set of changes proposed and the status of |
|
each of those changes. Note that not all of the originally defined |
|
functionality was completed for this release.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>In general, the changes implemented for this release were:</p> |
|

|
cycle of 2.3, both the old and the new provider managers are maintained in |
|
the release AND the old provider manager is defined as the default |
|
compile. To compile and run with the new pluggable provider manager |
|
functions the user must set a compile flag (TBD). NOTE: It is the |
|
intention of the Pegasus project to move to the new provider manager as |
|
soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></li> |
|
<li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo30;tab-stops: |

|
Manager, it was the intention to incorporate a number of enhancements to |
|
the HTTP monitor. Again because the time in the development phase |
|
when they were submitted, the project team elected to release 2.3.2 with |
|
the existing monitor as the default compile but with the code for both |
|
monitors. It is the intention to move to the new monitor as soon as |
|
possible and users are free to work with either implementation. To |
|
compile and run with the new monitor use the flag PEGASUS_MONITOR2.<o:p></o:p></li> |
|
<li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo30;tab-stops: |
|
list .5in'>CMPI Pluggable Provider Mgr - The CMPI Provider manager was |
|
added as a PEP to release 2.3.2 and uses the same flag as the Pluggable |
|
provider manager to control its compilation. Without setting this flag before |
|
the build process this provider manager and its sample providers are NOT |
|
compiled. <o:p></o:p></li> |
|
</ol> |
|
|
|
<p>The set of <span class=SpellE>PEPs</span> defined for release 2.3 is below |
|
along with the final implementation status. Note that release 2.3.2 introduced no new <span |
|
class=SpellE>PEPs</span> beyond what was in release 2.3.0. All of these PEPS are |
|
available on the OpenPegasus web site.</p> |

<h4><b>Indications</b></h4> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>Process indications - Process indications are operational in |
|
the |
|
Server. This includes support |
|
for subscriptions, filters, and indication handlers, the provider API |
|
for |
|
indications and the CIMXML indication handler.</li> |
|
<li>Lifecycle indications - With the support for embedded objects, |
|
lifecycle indications (ie. those |
|
classes of indications derived from CIM_ClassIndication and |
|
CIM_InstIndication) can now be created. Pegasus 2.5 provides some |
|
enablement for the generation of lifecycle indications. For more |

<h4><b>Indication Listener</b></h4> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal">The generic components for a CIM Listener and a |
|
listener API are operational. This includes the functions for |
|
HTTP, XML indication input and response, and consumers of indications. |
|
This code can be used to define a separate listener package and is used |
|
as an indication listener in the Pegasus server. <br> |

The use model that this listener fits is the following: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li><span class="norm"></span> The listener may be packaged as |

<h4>Object Normalization</h4> |
|
The Object Normalizer is an entity introduced in Pegasus 2.4 that |
|
ensures |
|
objects delivered from providers are complete and accurate. Two major |
|
issues were identified with the initial implementation: 1) the Object |
|
Normalizer drops instances it considers bad, and 2) the Object |
|
Normalizer code slows performance. These issues are now addressed by |
|
moving the Object Normalizer from the Dispatcher to the Response |
|
Handler (or equivalent) and optimizing the existing implementation. The |
|
move allows errors to be reported to the provider at the point of |
|
delivery and ensures that only a single copy is made to preserve the |
|
CIMOM/provider boundary.<br> |
|
Two new configuration properties were added to control object |
|
normalization.<br> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>enableNormalization (true|false) - Enables or disables object |
|
normalization for provider objects.</li> |
|
<li>excludeModulesFromNormalization (colon delimited list of |
|
provider modules) - List the provider modules by name (as specified in |
|
PG_ProviderModule.Name) to exclude from normalization. Keep in mind |
|
that all objects managed by all providers will be excluded from |
|
normalization if its module name appears in this list.<br> |
|
</li> |
|
</ol> |
|
<br> |
|
<h4>Embedded Object support</h4> |
|
Pegasus 2.5 now provides embedded object support. The proposed solution |
|
is restricted to the following:<br> |
|
The only representation for embedded objects supported by this |
|
PEP is CIM-XML. <br> |
|
CIMObject is implemented as a new CIMValue type. This type will be used |
|
internally to represent embedded objects. When externalized (via |
|
CIM-XML) these objects will be converted to strings representing valid |
|
INSTANCE or CLASS elements, in accordance with the CIM Infrastructure |
|
Specification. Embedded instances will also carry the |
|
EmbeddedObject attribute with |
|
the value "object", as specified by CR Interop-00217.001. <br> |

<h4><b>Query Language</b></h4> |
|
<p>The query language today is based on WQL and is implemented and |
|
used for filters and in 2.4 for execQuery. <br> |
|
</p> |
|
<p>CQL Stage 1 has been included for Pegasus 2.5. PEPs 138, |
|
193, 205 combine to describe the function submitted.<br> |

<h4><b>Schema Repository</b></h4> |
|
<span class="norm"></span>By default, Pegasus uses an XML-based |

<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> In addition to the binary |
|
repository, the compressed repository |
|
functionality has |
|
been added as a build time conditional compile. It defaults to not |

|
</b></b></h4> |
|
<font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" color="RED">OpenPegasus 2.5 (and |
|
prior) contains several mechanisms to perform authorization, but none |
|
of these authorization checks are performed by default. |
|
By registering any provider which fails to do appropriate authorization |
|
checks, the consequences may include information leakage, data |
|
corruption, or unintended elevation of privilege. Please ensure that |
|
one of the following mechanisms is used to ensure appropriate access to |
|
your systems and data:<br> |
|
1. Only install/register providers which perform authorization |
|
appropriate for your environment.<br> |
|
</font> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" |
|
color="RED">a. For providers, this may include registering to |
|
'Run-as-requestor' (not available prior to Pegasus 2.5) and/or |
|
performing authorization checks within the provider.<br> |
|
b. For administrators, ensure that the providers you have registered in |
|
your environment have performed sufficient authorization checks. Also, |
|
monitor announcements of security defects in those providers and follow |
|
the recommendations in those announcements as soon as possible. <br> |
|
c. For distributors of Pegasus or providers, ensure that the providers |
|
you are shipping have performed appropriate authorization checks, and |
|
relay announcements of discovered security defects to your users.</font><br> |

|
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/8502/PEP200_RecommendedReleaseOptions.htm"> |
|
PEP 200</a> describes the use of proper environment variable use to |
|
enable or disable this code. PEGASUS_DISABLE_SLP and |
|
PEGASUS_ENABLE_SLP are the environment variables that control inclusion |
|
of this feature. Once compiled, SLP |
|
support is enabled with the slp configuration parameter (slp=true). SLP |
|
support includes an SLP service agent in the Pegasus CIM sever and |
|
generates SLP advertisements compatible with the DMTF slp template |
|
specification. The SLP support also includes extensions to the |
|
CIM Client libraries to execute SLP User Agent requests and analyze the |
|
results (note that these interfaces are not yet part of the Pegasus |
|
public SDK).<br> |
|
Note: Pegasus on Windows is built with SLP support on by default and to |
|
exclude it from the build, then PEGASUS_DISABLE_SLP must be set.<br> |

|
<h4>Provider Managers</h4> |
|
<p>Pegasus is designed to support multiple Provider Managers to allow |
|
multiple provider interfaces to the CIMOM. The two default |
|
provider managers are the Pegasus C++ Interface and Common |
|
Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI) Interface.<br> |

access to the CIMOM for information and provide information and |
|
services to support the CIMOM and its administration. The |
|
providers in this category are mostly defined in the directory |
|
src/pegasus/controlproviders and include support for the following |

<h4><span class="SpellE">Server Statistics<br> |
|
</span></h4> |
|
CIM Server statistics, based on the DMTF 'CIM_StatisticalData' class, |
|
are implemented in this release. The statistics gathering is disabled |
|
by default. It may be enabled or disabled by performing a |
|
ModifyInstance operation on the singleton 'CIM_ObjectManager' instance |
|
in the 'PG_InterOp' namespace to set the GatherStatisticalData property |
|
to 'true' or 'false'. This property setting is persistent across CIM |
|
Server restarts. A statistics display test tool, cimperf, is available |
|
from the Pegasus CVS repository. |
|
<h4><br> |

|
<h4><span class="SpellE">SLP Provider</span></h4> |
|
<p><span class="SpellE">This provider acts as the definer of |
|
SLP information for SLP registration and also controls the Pegasus SLP |
|
Service Agent. It is treated as a normal provider rather than a control |
|
provider because it does not use internal functions of the CIMOM to |
|
generate any of its information today. (conditionally compiled today)<br> |

<h3><span class="SpellE"><b>CIM_Schema</b></span></h3> |
|
<p>The default <span class="SpellE">CIM_Schema</span> loaded with this |
|
release is |
|
the DMTF CIM 2.9, Final release. In addition, Pegasus includes |
|
a number of |
|
local classes defined for Pegasus. These are defined in the |
|
pegasus/Schemas |
|
directory. <span style=""></span>There are also a |
|
number of older schema available in the CVS.</p> |
|
<p>The mechanism to install other schemas than the default is defined |
|
in the mak/config.mak</p> |
|
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>NOTE:</b> The CIM 2.5 schema is |
|
maintained in the |
|
CVS repository because it remains the basis for parts of the Pegasus |
|
test |
|
environment.</p> |
|
<h3><b>Pegasus MOF Compilers</b></h3> |
|
<p>Pegasus implements a MOF compiler that can operate either at the |
|
client |
|
interface to the Pegasus CIM Server (<span class="SpellE">cimmof</span>) |
|
or directly interfacing with a CIM |
|
repository (<span class="SpellE">cimmofl</span>).</p> |
|
<p>The direct interface compiler is used primarily to provide an |
|
initial |
|
class/instance repository. <font color="#ff0000"><b>WARNING:</b></font> |
|
the use of <span class="SpellE">cimmofl</span> |
|
to manipulate instances in the repository bypasses any provider that is |
|
registered to serve these instances and simply installs the |
|
instances in the |
|
instance repository; this may result in 1) bad data in the repository |
|
if there are registered providers, 2) corruption of the repository if |
|
the CIM Server is running or, 3) MOF data that is loaded but not |
|
available until the server is stopped and restarted in some |
|
cases. Use of <span class="SpellE">cimmofl in general is |
|
discouraged and particularly </span> to manipulate |
|
instances served by a registered providers (ex. Provider registration). |
|
<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<h3><b>Client Tools</b></h3> |
|
Lightweight statistics are now implemented for |
|
the |
|
client. The client statistics surfaces the elapsed time spent in the |
|
client, |
|
and the |
|
elapsed time spent on the network between client and server.<br> |

CIM server's HTTP and HTTPS ports is as follows:<br> |
|
1) An explicitly specified port value takes precedence over any other |
|
values.<br> |
|
</div> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">2) If no port is specified, the value |

<h3><b>Pegasus Interface APIs</b></h3> |
|
<p>Details of the Pegasus public interfaces for this release are listed |
|
in PEP 209 |
|
available from the web <span class="GramE">site(</span><a |
|
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/Administrator/My%20Documents/processes/www.openpegasus.org">www.openpegasus.org</a>). |
|
That document is the <span class="SpellE">authorative</span> source |
|
for the list of publicly supported Pegasus APIs. The Client |
|
and Provider API were originally frozen at the Pegasus version 2.1 |
|
release. The interfaces in the release of Pegasus 2.1 are forward |
|
compatible to this release. Well-behaved clients and providers compiled |
|
to the Pegasus 2.1 or 2.2 interfaces should be compatible with this |
|
release without compilation. There have been extensions and new |
|
interfaces added for this release and these are marked as experimental. |
|
The Pegasus public |
|
interfaces includes the following major functions</p> |
|

|
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">CIM Object and System |
|

|
</ol> |
|
<p>In addition, there are other client interfaces which are not today |

|
<ul style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> |
|
<li class="MsoNormal">CIM Listener |
|
is a component that can be used to consume indications without a |
|
dependency on the Pegasus CIMOM. In environments where no CIMOM is |
|
running or a physical separation between the indication listener and |
|
the CIMOM is desired, CIM Listener fits the bill. Still, there are |
|
several enhancements that are necessary to make CIM Listener scalable. <font |
|
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Enhancements were deemed significant |
|
enough to propose a new listener that builds off CIMListener's |

<h3><b>WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span></b></h3> |
|
<p>The WBEM to WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> provides a way |
|
to access |
|
WMI data from Windows platform systems. It converts incoming XML/CIM |
|
requests |
|
to Microsoft WMI requests, executes the requests, converts the results |
|
to |
|
XML/CIM and returns the results to the client. WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
receives an HTTP message containing the XML/CIM request. It decodes the |
|
XML |
|
message and extracts from the HTTP message header the user credentials |
|
provided |
|
on the connection (username and password). The WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
authenticates these credentials, verifying if the provided credentials |
|
have |
|
access to the desired WMI data. This is done because the WMI <span |
|
class="SpellE">Mapper</span> runs as a service, logged on using an |
|
account with |
|
administrative rights (which has all access to WMI data). Because of |
|
this, the |
|
WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> impersonates the user |
|
credentials provided |
|
on the HTTP message to ensure that the calling user has rights to |
|
browse WMI |
|
data. Hence, ALL requests made to the WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
MUST |
|
contain user credentials.<br> |
|

<h3><b><b>Indication Handlers</b></b></h3> |
|
System Log Indication Handler<br> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">The SysLog Indication Handler is a new |
|

|
type of Indication Handler which allows CIM Indications to be delivered |
|
to the system syslog file. It has following features:<br> |
|
</div> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>Each syslog file entry has a tag 'CIM Indication' to distinguish |
|
an entry made by Syslog Indication Handler.</li> |
|
</ul> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>If a subscriber includes PerceivedSeverity property in the SELECT |
|
list of the filter condition for the indication, the PerceivedSeverity |
|
will be mapped to syslog error severity. Otherwise, syslog error |
|
severity 'LOG_INFO' is used.</li> |

|
- |
|
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). </span> Pegasus |
|
today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in |
|
accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is |
|
that Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance |
|
parameter is supplied on instance operations. However, Pegasus |
|
today is inconsistent in 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.</p> |
|
</li> |
|
<li><b>LocalOnly option on instance |
|
Operations </b>- 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.</li> |
