   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.
