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.

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

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 160

Line 252

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.
