 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
  
   
   Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
   Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
   TAG: VERSION_1_07
   
   1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
   
   2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
   
   3. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
      This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
      reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
      also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
      There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
      the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
   
   4. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
   
   5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
      Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
   
   -------------------------------------------------------------------
   Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
   
   1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch
          in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
          may temporarily be in side branches.
          Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
   
   2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository
           implementations will be kept to separate them from the
           repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
           which is the current file based repository.
   
           Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
           to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
           command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
           in the future.
   
   3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
      to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
      present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
      exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
      intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
      CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
   
   4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
      and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
      queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
      CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
      Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
      it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
   
   5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it
      runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running
      forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver
      service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient
      program.
   
   6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription,
       CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
       in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
       CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
       CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
       CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
       CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
       CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
       CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
   
       This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
       CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from
       IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear.
   
       IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
       when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
       CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
       CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
   
       I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
       and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
       old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a
       plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
   
       There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create
       Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
   
       Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

     without the standard (std) namespace.     without the standard (std) namespace.
  
   50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
       properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
       repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
   
       Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
       default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
       setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
       disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
       following command before starting cimserver:
   
           cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
   
       The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
       provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
       provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
       instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
       to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
       repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
       'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
   
   51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
       pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
       service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
   
   52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
       the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
       PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
       so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
       supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
   
       Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
       Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
       ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
       written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
       ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
       operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
       work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
   
   53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
       Security components for authentication and authorization.
   
       Authentication and User Management:
       cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
       and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
       in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd
       generated password file.
   
       cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
       to add/remove/list user authorizations.
   
       User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user
       management and authorization functionality.
   
   54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
       under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
   
   55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
       which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
       It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
   
   56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
       and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
       NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
   
   57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
       subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the
       CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler
       classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
       in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider,
       or change in provider registration.
   
   58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
       and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
       For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper
       in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
   
   59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
       It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
       in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
       constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
       structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
       MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
       between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
       is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
       How to use it in a Server or Client:
       1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
       2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
          SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
          without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
   
       The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
       cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
   
   60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.
   
   61. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2001 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
       class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
       location, Provider location and Consumer location.
       The default location for these properties continue to be the same
       as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
       Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
       return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
   
       For more information look in to the following files:
       pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
