CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002

Version 0.97.4 - In Process.

TAG: Version_1_09.

1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.

2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage

class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a

CIMStatusCode and String description. This allows extra information in

a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried

internally throughout the system.

This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted

to an error code and description to be written out in XML. This

single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the

error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace

errors that get returned to clients. In particular, client applications

currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,

such as:

CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed

to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One

or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:

"Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""

The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant

information to be eliminated from the messages.

3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime

after roger fixed timevalue.

4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware.

5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.

Update master result file of wbemexec CLI tests.

========================================================================

Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002

TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because

of problems with the CVS repository

1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.

Tagged CVS 1_08.

2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass,

qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

========================================================================

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. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 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

pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp

pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h

pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp

4. 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.

5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.

6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.

Note that this version of the paper still needs work.

7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to

loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal()

method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system

configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use

modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.

8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in

schema directory. The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and

will be deleted.

9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests

10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests

11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented

checks for privileged user when performing authorization.

Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.

This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access

for remote clients.

12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic

method (InvokeMethod) operations. This change involves the addition

of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags. This tag

allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without

having to look up the method definition in the schema. It also allows

the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return

values.

PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:

Method providers ARE affected by this change. Previously, all input

parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type

regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method

was defined. With this change, providers will now receive input

parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client

application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).

However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client

API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute. In this case, the operation

processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters

and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.

The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the

XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider

will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not

specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type

specified in the method definition.

CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:

Clients ARE affected by this change. Any output parameters that are

returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE

attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type

sent by the server. Previously, they would have always been of

String type. In addition, the return value will be received as the

correct type rather than as a String.

Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the

PARAMTYPE attribute. In this case, the client will see a

CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type

String. Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit

PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type. These return

values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,

because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.

This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through

Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other

implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.

SIDE EFFECTS:

In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered

that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of

CIMReferences. This appeared to be an oversight, since method

parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences. I've

added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.

I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant

clean-up, which I completed.

SETPROPERTY CHANGES:

A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by

"typing" the specified property value in the operation processor

(currently dispatcher). This is achieved by looking up the

relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting

the specified value to that property's type.

The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate

inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this

extra processing. However, clients can avoid this overhead by using

ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.

The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type

information. Client applications using the Pegasus client API will

always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty

against any server (Pegasus or not). Clients that require properties

to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with

a property list) rather than GetProperty.

13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.

Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this

class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.

This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,

and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.

The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML

encoding of parameter values.

An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the

behavior outlined in item 12 above. Clients should use the isTyped()

method to determine whether the output parameters returned from

InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they

have defaulted to String type.

14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.

Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)

15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept

username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new

method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server

and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from

the server.

16 (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up

all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.

17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager

to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and

indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances

operations.

Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

18 (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the

definition of CIMFlavors.

19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to

eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the

nested method call structure. Now, instead of having a method at

each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there

are separate methods to add the begin and end tags. At the top

level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message

"body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.

The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML

payload and then again when the HTTP header is added. (Since the

HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be

constructed until the payload is complete.) It is possible to

remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional

changes elsewhere in the code. For example, the HTTPMessage class

would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in

a single buffer.

Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup. Much of the XML

formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter. Also,

error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the

various encoders and decoders, etc.

20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the

CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate

that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent

with what is encoded in the XML request itself.

Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,

CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are

validated.

21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in

qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the

Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.

22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.

Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:

Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;

HTTPConnector* connector;

connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);

Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000; // optional

CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);

With this change, the client application now looks like:

Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000; // optional

CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);

The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector

constructor. It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a

connection rather than of the client API. So instead of adding an SSL

context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient

connect() method. There are now forms of the connect() method with and

without an SSL context. Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector

class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method

rather than in the constructor.

NOTE: Client applications are affected and must be updated with this

change. I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and

included in the Pegasus build.

23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field

of fixed length arrays to be lost.

24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT

include the source filename and line number in the exception message.

However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the

CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used

for that purpose.

A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:

- CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.

A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException

as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the

trace file. This message will include the source filename and the

line number of the CIMException originator.

Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);

- Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:

A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as

input and writes the String to the trace file.

(ex.)

You can issue the following method call:

Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");

or use the following new macro:

PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");

25. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified

several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Added

one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in

the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.

This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first

operator to be "OR"ed.

26. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that

Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances

of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and

PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file

streams. Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a

fstream object. Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef

block detecting a build on Tru64 was used. Added cstdarg and ctime in

pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.

27. (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once

again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could

not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly

in the Windows service work thread.

28. (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a

local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof)

executable

29. (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository

executable.

30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and

Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp. Previously, values that were out of

range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size. An

exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into

an integer of the specified size.

31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers

in XmlReader.cpp.

32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic

Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication

releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified

the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.

33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"

with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and

InstanceDataFile.cpp

34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad

enabled the scope and flavors testing. Had been pretty much blocked before.

35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation

request messages to provider API calls. Cleaned up the dispatcher and

added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the

ModuleController. Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the

ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control

providers working. Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the

Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically

linked into the server.

36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with

the ModuleController as a control provider. Moved the UserAuthProvider

from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.

37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the

ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control

provider. Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus

ControlProviders directory. Obsoleted and removed the

Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.

38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to

extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their

use. This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 - Development Branch (Work in Progress)

current working dev branch of build

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)

1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating

PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).

2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.

=======

1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be

seen as part of CGIclient class displays.

2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version

to the final version in Schemas\CIM25. This included minor

corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the

official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF. This change

should not affect any current work.

3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas

directorys. Note however that today the make repository still

loads the 2.5 schema.

4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers

on XML output.

5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem

in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,

RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp). aCC scopes variable

declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple

"for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.

6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove

dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the

cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files

and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that

were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config

provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified

provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI

to show user friendly error/status messages.

7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI

(reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).

Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in

generating debug output.

8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in

xml when it generates xml output.

9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into

a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default

repository implementation.

10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.

11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.

12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.

13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.

14. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug that was creating an empty file when trace was not enabled. Changed the Tracer test program's executable file name to TracerTest instead of Tracer.

15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.

CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.

16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.

17. (Jim Chou - HP) 12 Sep 2001 - Initial contribution of wbemexec test directory and make infrastructure. This submittal also includes an initial set of test scripts.

18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.

19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server

interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with

a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.

20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files

CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML

input and output can be written in a trace file.

21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support

Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and

deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).

22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and

ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample

consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the

indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete

implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and

RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files

are modified to implement above messages.

XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete

operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication

instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the

indication to consumer. This program needs

src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof

and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded

in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test

program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and

modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as

below:

//====================================================================

// CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP

//====================================================================

[Description (

"CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "

"Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "

"representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]

23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in

ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading

a provider library.

24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod

interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as

type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give

information about param name, type and value. This should be changed

to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the

parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod

call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while

travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of

CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed

later).

Also added are two test programs:

src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of

CIMParamValue class.

src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to

InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current

implementation assumes that provider had returned true value

and outParameters (which are now hard coded in

CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)

which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.

25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of

authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager

and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication

module has been modified to implement the local authenticator

interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests

and to verify the authentication.

A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.

This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not

yet linked into the build.

26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export

Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses

before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send

request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.

New changes collects the Message* as return value from the

appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on

_outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.

27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to

fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the

providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name

construction (appending .sl or .so) from

CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to

ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns

provider file path name.

28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication

Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class

definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap

structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.

Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master

agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.

Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to

implement specific trap delivery mechanism.

29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to

be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating

property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the

plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.

30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer

to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given

string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface.

Changed the config file defaults for tracing.

31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq

NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files

were added: platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,

library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak,

program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered

all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now

only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and

library.mak were changed to include the NSK files.

File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.

32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow

commas (,) in the string values of key properties.

33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6

34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in

pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for

the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced

leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required

in make files.

35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25

because getting an error in 26

35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys

whose types are references. These reference values must be

treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE

tag structure.

Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.

For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string

type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.

I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and

CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the

XML in the proper format. However, making that change required

that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key

of String type and a key of reference type.

I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to

allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of

reference type. The "official" form uses the same encoding for

key values of String type and of reference type, and so it

would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up

the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the

key values. This is clearly too inefficient for internal

transformations between CIMReferences and String values.

The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value

for a key of reference type (before the opening '"'). This allows

the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or

reference type.

In this example:

MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"

Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets

the usual encoding. Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'

is inserted before its encoded value. Note that this algorithm is

recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,

which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.

The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry. A new

KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a

CIMReference that are of reference type. This KeyBinding type must

be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave

correctly.

The files that have been modified to make this change are

CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.

A result of this change is that instances names in the instance

repository will include this extra 'R' character. Thus, you will

need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest

CIMOM version.

Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance

names (such as might appear in MOF for static association

instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and

therefore unacceptable. It is likely that these points will need

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.

48. (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.

49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,

files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to

the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK

platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation

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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch

Tagged as version_1_01 on 3 August 2001 (sorry should have been

1.1

1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver

indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler

and ExportClient classes. the indication.

Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to

make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.

Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and

SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.

2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading

mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script

is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for

information on running the test script.

6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects

(changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These

functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.

7. (Bapu Patil - HP) Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local

Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients

that

connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a

password.

Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.

This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main

build.

When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be

modified to integrate with the framework.

Version 0.99.x (Fixes to version 0.99) in Process

NOTE: Please do not input anything to this branch except for critical

fixes. This is, in effect, 1.0 and we do not want to use it for

development.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.98.0 - Work in progress (This number skipped)

Version -.99.0 - Tagged as version 0.99,17 July 8:00 am - KS

1. (Mike Brasher) Added support for class association operations

(references(), associators(), referenceNames(), associatorNames()).

2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes

in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names.

3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes.

4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.

3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to

allow slp to compile.

4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.

5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps

ids to queue pointers).

6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler

and Dispatcher.

7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher

and

CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample

ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

8. (Mike Brasher) - Replaced dispatcher with a queue-based dispatcher.

9. (Mike Brasher) - Retrofited CIMOMHandle to be queue-based.

10. (Mike Brasher) - Changed CIMOMHandle to carry repository pointer.

11. (Mike Brasher) - Ported to TRU64.

12. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed compiler error on Linux.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001

1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day. This includes code bothe

for NT and Linux platforms.

---------------------------------------------------------------

2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to

5988.

NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by

the DMTF.

3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF

Fusion event. THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from

CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF. Not strictly legal but widely used. b).

Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.

4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp

and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}. This is the first step in

revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).

5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified

Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.

Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser

files instead of generating your own for a particular platform. This should

prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome

code. The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.

(grb)

6. Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.

This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler

to work indepently of the repository. (grb)

7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001

8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,

modifyClass,

createClass to protect caller's object.

9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2

directory. These

interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.

CIMProviderStub has

been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.

10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM

11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository. To rebuild

repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks

12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.

(MEB)

13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).

Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.

Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).

Need to handle deleteInstance().

(MEB)

14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)

15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install

AssociationName

and ReferenceName functions. This included extensive update to the HTML

pages.

16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (

17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed

ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).

Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment

variables.

18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),

References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate

on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.

19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support

changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries

buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest

change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific

lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile

and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of

these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).

20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added

tests for stack and queue.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.97.3 - Released 5 June 2001

1. (KS)OptionManager (CPP and H), Logger (CPP and H), Handler (CPP and H),

Line 22

Line 1176

d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.

e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.

3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x

4. (KS)Extended options on CIMServer including 1. option to determine where

logs

are put

5. (KS)Added TestClient that executes a series of tests against a server.

This is a preliminary version.

6. (KS)Corrected problem with acceptor.bind where failure was being lost. Now

throws CannotBind exception.

7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors. NOTE: At this point it may

not

print out all of the message. At the least it prints out the error message

and components of the message causing the problem.

8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

9. (KS)Fixed problem where logs were not created unless logs directory already

existed.
