to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class

definition to determine the key property types.

36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components

in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner

init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with

cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.

37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference

(instanceName).

38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 Implemented encoding/decoding of

GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.

Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all

relevant intrinsic methods.

39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 Added Associator calls to CIMBase

ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp

40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 Common module: added the following

files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,

TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,

IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of

SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files

(TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include

nsk platform links.

41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 Changed the behavior of the CIMValue

toString() method for CIMValues of String type. The old behavior

returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters

replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents. For example, a CIMValue of a"b

would be returned as a"b. The new behavior just returns the

String value directly with no translation. (Note that

CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)

This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the

repository. CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by

CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to

CIMValue.toString(). GetInstance searches for the instance name

without UTF-8 encoding of special characters. For GetInstance to

be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name

in that same form, without special character encoding.

42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 Added a toXml(void) method to

the CIMValue class. Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),

often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().

Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.

43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 Added a function

localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class

to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the

CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>.

Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.

44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 Added a CIMNamedInstance class

to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values

from EnumerateInstances. The client and provider APIs need to

be updated to use this class.

45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 Added the cimuser command line

source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing

of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider

functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function

String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.

46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 Implemented Authentication code on

the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate

the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.

Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send

responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation

supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.

47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 Commited the following set of changes:

- Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>

to Array<CIMNamedInstance>

- Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to

CIMNamedInstance

- Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance

- Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the

CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>

Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.

These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider

API. For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the

differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.

However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added

functionality.

When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:

- Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which

they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the

PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the

list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by

issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of

properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace

the entire instance.

- Providers will be required to return instance names along with

instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive

these instance names, as the standard dictates.

- Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the

PropertyList instead of an Array<String>. This change allows

providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.

Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in

ModifyInstance correctly.

47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 I have updated the Provider2 instance

provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and

ModifyInstance operations. These changes were made to comply with

the DMTF specification.

The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no

plans to do so. Providers written to the original API will

continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity

to take advantage of the features that have been added.

The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:

- Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which

they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the

PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the

list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by

issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of

properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace

the entire instance.

- Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance

which they are required to respect. If IncludeQualifiers is

false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not

be used to update the instance.

- Providers will be required to return instance names along with

instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive

these instance names, as the standard dictates.

The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.

However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw

a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
