CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS

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. Tok 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 151

Line 161

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.
