<h2><span style='color:black'><a name="Functionality of This Release">Functionality of This Release</a></span></h2>
<p>The overall level of functionality in the Pegasus environment effective with
this release is as follows:</p>
<h3><b>CIM Server Functionality</b></h3>
<p>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.</p>

WQL as query language and is defined in PEP 119. This feature is considered at
alpha quality because it has only been contributor tested and there is no test
in the test suite to confirm the functionality.</li>

<blockquote>
<h4><b>Indications</b></h4>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. </p>
<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. </p>
</blockquote>
<div class=Section1>
<blockquote>
<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. The execQuery support for WQL has
been implemented in Pegasus 2.4 but is considered alpha quality.</p>
<h4><b>Class Repository</b></h4>
<p>Pegasus uses an XML based file/directory class repository. All class and qualifier operations
access this repository. The repository was modified to improve efficiency in 2.4
by adding a binary repository option to reduce repository size. The binary
repository functions are considered alpha level because they have only been
contributor tested and there is no test function in the automated Pegasus test
suite.</p>
<h4><b>Instance Repository</b></h4>
<p>Pegasus uses an XML based file/directory Instance repository. The
instance repository may be conditionally used as the default repository
with a Pegasus configuration flag ( As defined in PEP 174, it is normally set
to NOT use the instance repository as default).</p>

<h4><b>SLP Discovery</b></h4>
<p>SLP support is included but is conditionally compiled with the default. This code can be enabled by setting the compile
environment variable PEGASUS_ENABLE_SLP. Once compiled, SLP support
is enabled with the slp configuration parameter (slp=true). SLP support includes
an SLP service agent in the Pegasus CIM severas 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).</p>
<h4>Provider Managers</h4>
<p>Pegasus is designed to support multiple Provider Managers to allow multiple
provider interfaces to the CIMOM. The default provider manager is the C++
Interface. This section defines the additional provider managers available
with Pegasus 2.4.</p>
<blockquote>
<h5><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>CMPI C interface Provider Manager<o:p></o:p></b></h5>
<p>Pegasus 2.4 includes a 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 until the CMPI
specification is released. Information on writing providers with the CMPI
interface is available in the draft version of the specification today (see
above) and in the following documents (<a href="http://www-124.ibm.com/sblim/doc/CMPIandC++.pdf">http://www-124.ibm.com/sblim/doc/ProviderArchitecture.pdf
</a>and <a href="http://www-124.ibm.com/sblim/doc/CMPIandC++.pdf">
http://www-124.ibm.com/sblim/doc/CMPIandC++.pdf</a>) and readme.cmpi in the
Pegasus source root directory.</p>
<h5>JMPI Java Interface Provider Manager</h5>
<p>Pegasus includes an experimental provider manager for Java provider
interfaces based on the SNIA provider interface definitions. This provider
manager is considered alpha quality and is not compiled in the default build.
See readme.jmpi in the Pegasus source root directory for more information.</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<h3><b>Providers</b></h3>
<p>There are a number of providers available in the Pegasus release.
This includes providers in the following categories:</p>
<blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'>
<h4>Pegasus Internal Providers</h4>
<p>Pegasus provides a set of "internal" providers that have direct 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 classes:</p>
<ul>
<li>DMTF Interop classes including __Namespace, <span
class=SpellE>CIM_Namespace</span>, <span class=SpellE>CIM_ObjectManager</span>,
<span class=SpellE>CIM_CommunicationMechanism, and CIMOMStatistics.</span></li>
</ul>
<h4><b>Generic Providers</b></h4>
<p>Generic <span class=SpellE>OperatingSystem</span> provider. See the
directory <span class=SpellE>src</span>/Providers/generic.</p>
<h4><b>Test/Sample Providers</b></h4>
<p>See the directories <span class=SpellE>src/Providers/TestProviders</span>
and <span class=SpellE>src</span>/Providers/Sample for more information about test and
sample providers.</p>
<h4><b>Managed System Providers</b></h4>
<p><span class=SpellE>ComputerSystem</span>, <span class=SpellE>DNSAdmin</span>,
<span class=SpellE>DNSService</span>, Operating System, Process, Processor. For
more information on these providers see the documentation for each provider in
the directory <span class=SpellE>src/Providers/ManagedSystem</span></p>
<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)</span></p>
</blockquote>
<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 2.8, Final release. In addition, Pegasus includes a number of
local classes defined for Pegasus. These are defined in the pegasus/Schemas
directory. CIM 2.9 preliminary<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>
schema is also available in the CVS but is not the default schema for compile.
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:12.0pt'><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). Use of <span
class=SpellE>cimmof</span> rather that <span class=SpellE>cimmofl is encouraged</span>
wherever possible.</p>

<h3><b>Pegasus Interface APIs</b></h3>
<p>Details of the Pegasus public interfaces for this release are listed in PEP
189
available from the web <span class=GramE>site(</span><a
href="../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>
<ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1>
<li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo24;tab-stops:
list .5in'>Client APIs<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo24;tab-stops:

<li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo24;tab-stops:
list .5in'>CIM Object and System function APIs</li>
</ol>
<p>In addition, there are other client interfaces which are not today in the
public SDK including:</p>
<ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1>
<li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo24;tab-stops:
list .5in'><span lang=DA style='mso-ansi-language:DA'>CIM Listener APIs</span></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo24;tab-stops:
list .5in'><span lang="da">SLP Client (User Agent) APIs which are
extensions to the Client APIs</span></li>
</ol>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The APIs are documented in
their respective header files and in HTML documentation based on the information
in the header files extracted with the doc++ tool will be available on the
OpenPegasus web site. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<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.</p>

<h2><b><span style='font-family:Times'><a name="Supported Platforms">Supported Platforms</a></span></b></h2>
<p>Each Pegasus release lists as supported platforms those
hardware/software platforms that have recognized ports for the Pegasus code
base including a maintainer for the platform that will be willing to regularly

<h2><a name="Conformance with DMTF Specifications">Conformance with DMTF Specifications</a></h2>
<p>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 this release, some of the differences include the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Provider Registration</b> - Pegasus supports registration through a set of
Pegasus Provider registration classes rather than support the DMTF defined Provider
Qualifier. Pegasus will not support this qualifier in the future. See the readme for more information on provider registration.</li>
<li> <b>Indications </b>-Today Pegasus supports process indications but does not
include any specific support for lifecycle indications.</li>
<li>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <b>Instance qualifiers and class
qualifiers on some Operations</b> -
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>
<p class=MsoNormal> <b>CIM MOF compiler function for instance aliasing</b> - The
Pegasus MOF compiler does not today support this function. This function is
planned for a future version.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class=MsoNormal><b> MultiRequest Oprations</b> - Pegasus does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest
Operation option.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class=MsoNormal><b> LocalOnly option on some 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.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>MOFCompiler namespace pragma</b> - The Pegasus compiler does not support the namespace pragma.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2><a name="Changes in This Release">Changes in This Release</a></h2>
<p>The development and release of each version of Pegasus is defined and
controlled through Pegasus PEP documents. PEP 97 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 areas of development for this release were:</p>

Pegasus Release Control and Version Definition Documentation</a></h2>
<p>The Pegasus project is controlled largely through a set of documents (PEPs)
that serve as the definition and review mechanism for new and modified Pegasus
functionality and for the definition and documentation of releases.</p>
<p>Specifically the following PEPs define the characteristics of this Pegasus
release.</p>
<ol>
<li>PEP 189 - OpenPegaus 2.4 External Interfaces</li>
<li>PEP 188 - OpenPegaus 2.4 Packaging Definition for Selected Platforms</li>
<li>PEP 185 - Pegasus 2.4 Release Notes (This document)</li>
<li>PEP 181 - OpenPegasus 2.4 SDK Packaging Definition</li>
<li>PEP 175 - Pegasus readme.txt for 2.4 (also in the Pegasus source tree root
directory).</li>
<li>PEP 97 - OpenPegasus Release Definition - This PEP is used throughout the
development of this version as the control point for functionality that will
go into the release and points to all of the PEPs that represent the Pegasus
2.4 functionality changes.</li>
</ol>
