CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS

Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002

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.

6. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 8 Apr 2002 - Modified a libraries.mak file in the src/Pegasus/Security/Authentication/tests directory in order to fix the

build on Tru64.

7. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Apr 2002 - The RETURNVALUE and IRETURNVALUE elements

of the XML encoding of operation responses had been treated as mandatory.

The client response decoder has been updated to make those elements

optional for operations that do not require a return value. The server

response encoder has been updated not to include those elements when the

request does not include a return value.

8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 9 Apr 2002 - Updated the Instance, Association, and

Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String>

for the propertyList parameters. All providers that implement a method

with a propertyList parameter must be modified in accordance with this

change. All providers linked into the Pegasus build have been updated.

9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be

returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned.

Added a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.

10. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName()

method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition

from all the subclasses. To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets

the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to

the MessageQueue constructor was removed. Constants were defined in

Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus. The

places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also

changed to use the constants.

11. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTPError exception to

report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications. Added

an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error

response. Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to

process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages.

Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an

HTTP error. This functionality required fundamental changes in the

way CIMClient processes messages. It can no longer search its queue

for a message of the expected type. Instead, is assumes that no

messages should be on its queue unless it has sent a request to the

encoder. In that case, it assumes that any message on its queue is

the response to that request.

12. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Extended versioning strategy

to allow platform-specific version strings.

13. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Renamed shared library for

ManagedSystem/OperatingSystem provider so that it would not

conflict with library name of generic/OperatingSystem provider.

14. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Added compile flags _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD flags for platform_HPUX_PARISC_ACC.

15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Feb 2002 - HP-Nag: Added PAM based user

authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix

platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting

the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION."

16. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented static methods

Uint64 getDifference(CIMDateTime, CIMDateTime), to get the difference

between two CIMDateTimes and CIMDateTime getCurrentDateTime(), to return

the current date time as CIMDateTime in the CIMDateTime class. Also added

method Boolean isInterval(), to check if the CIMDateTime object is an

interval.

17. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Improved Consumer interface with

indications. Now indications can be displayed using sample

DisplayConsumer. To test, create Handler with destination as

localhost:5988/logicalname. Create a file consumer_list.dat in your

PEGASUS_HOME directory and then ass entry as follows:

logicalname = DisplayConsumer

This will help ConsumerTable to load the DisplayConsumer to consume

the indication passed through ExportServer (CIMExportRequestDispathcer).

18. (Yi Zhou - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented sending message of provider

registration notification to subscription service.

19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 Apr 2002 - Defined an exception hierarchy for

CIMClient API users. All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now

subclasses of CIMClientException. The CIMClient methods are defined

as throwing CIMClientException, which will allow the actual exceptions

thrown to change without changing the method signatures. It also makes

it more clear to the client application which exceptions need to be

handled.

A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well.

This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM

operation response decoder to the CIMClient. Previously, several

classes of exceptions were being dropped in the decoder. New

CIMClientException subclasses have been defined to model these

exceptions. These changes allow decoding exceptions to be passed

back to the client application. Examples are unparsable HTTP

responses, malformed XML, and mismatched CIM responses (message ID,

message type).

The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been

updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.

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

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.

Line 307

Line 451

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.
