   1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
   2 karl  1.59 
   3 karl  1.95 Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002
   4            TAG: Version_1_09.
   5            
   6            1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.
   7            
   8 kumpf 1.96 2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage
   9               class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a
  10               CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in
  11               a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried
  12               internally throughout the system.
  13            
  14               This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted
  15               to an error code and description to be written out in XML.  This
  16               single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the
  17               error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace
  18               errors that get returned to clients.  In particular, client applications
  19               currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,
  20               such as:
  21            
  22                   CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed
  23                   to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One
  24                   or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:
  25                   "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""
  26            
  27               The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant
  28               information to be eliminated from the messages.
  29 karl  1.97    
  30            3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime
  31               after roger fixed timevalue.
  32 kumpf 1.96 
  33 kumpf 1.98 4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 
  34            
  35 kumpf 1.99 5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.
  36 kumpf 1.100                       Update master result file of wbemexec CLI tests.
  37 kumpf 1.99  
  38 ramnath 1.101 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 
  39               	build on Tru64.
  40

  43 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  44 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  45               of problems with the CVS repository
  46 karl    1.93  
  47 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  48 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
  49                  
  50 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  51                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
  52 karl    1.93  ========================================================================
  53 karl    1.59  
  54               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  55               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  56               TAG: VERSION_1_07
  57               
  58               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  59               
  60 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  61 karl    1.59  
  62 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  63                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  64                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  65                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  66                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  67                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  68                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  69               
  70                   For more information look in to the following files:
  71                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  72                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  73                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  74                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  75               
  76               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  77 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  78                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  79                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  80                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  81                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  82 karl    1.63     
  83 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
  84 karl    1.62  
  85 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
  86 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
  87               
  88 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
  89 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
  90               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
  91               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
  92               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
  93               
  94 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
  95 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
  96               will be deleted.
  97               
  98 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
  99               
 100               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 101 karl    1.66  
 102 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 103                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 104                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 105                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 106                   for remote clients.
 107 karl    1.66  
 108 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 109                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 110                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 111                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 112                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 113                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 114                   values.
 115               
 116                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 117               
 118                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 119                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 120                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 121                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 122                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 123                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 124               
 125                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 126                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 127                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 128                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 129 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 130                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 131                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 132                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 133                   specified in the method definition.
 134               
 135                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 136               
 137                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 138                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 139                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 140                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 141                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 142                   correct type rather than as a String.
 143               
 144                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 145                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 146                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 147                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 148                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 149                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 150 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 151               
 152                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 153                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 154                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 155               
 156                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 157               
 158                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 159                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 160                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 161                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 162                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 163               
 164                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 165                   clean-up, which I completed.
 166               
 167                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 168               
 169                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 170                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 171 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 172                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 173                   the specified value to that property's type.
 174               
 175                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 176                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 177                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 178                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 179               
 180                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 181                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 182                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 183                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 184                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 185                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 186               
 187 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 188                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 189                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 190                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 191                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 192                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 193                   encoding of parameter values.
 194               
 195                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 196                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 197                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 198                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 199                   have defaulted to String type.
 200 karl    1.70      
 201               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 202                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 203 karl    1.72    
 204 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 205                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 206                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 207                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 208                   the server.
 209 karl    1.72      
 210               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 211                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 212                  
 213 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 214                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 215                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 216                   operations.
 217               
 218                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 219 karl    1.74      
 220               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 221                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 222 karl    1.76      
 223 kumpf   1.68  
 224 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 225                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 226                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 227                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 228                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 229                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 230                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 231               
 232                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 233                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 234                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 235                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 236                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 237                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 238                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 239                   a single buffer.
 240               
 241                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 242                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 243                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 244                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 245 kumpf   1.75  
 246               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 247                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 248                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 249                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 250               
 251                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 252                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 253                   validated.

 255               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 256                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 257                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.

 259 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 260                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 261               
 262                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 263                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 264                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 265                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 266               
 267                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 268               
 269                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 270               
 271                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 272               
 273                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 274               
 275                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 276                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 277                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 278                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 279                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 280 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 281                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 282                   rather than in the constructor.
 283               
 284                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 285                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 286                   included in the Pegasus build.
 287 kumpf   1.79  
 288 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 289                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 290 kumpf   1.75  
 291 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 292                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 293                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 294                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 295                   for that purpose.   
 296               
 297                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 298               
 299                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 300                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 301                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 302                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 303                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 304               
 305                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 306               
 307                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 308                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 309                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 310               
 311                     (ex.)
 312 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 313                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 314               
 315                     or use the following new macro:
 316                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 317                   
 318 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 319 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 320               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 321               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 322               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 323               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 324 ramnath 1.81  
 325               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 326               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 327               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 328               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 329               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 330               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 331               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 332               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 333 ramnath 1.80  
 334 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 335               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 336               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 337               	in the Windows service work thread.
 338               
 339 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 340                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 341               	executable
 342                      
 343               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 344                       executable. 
 345 kumpf   1.84  
 346               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 347                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 348                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 349                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 350                   an integer of the specified size.
 351               
 352 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 353                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 354               
 355 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 356                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 357                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 358                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 359               
 360 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 361                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 362 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 363 karl    1.88  	
 364               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 365                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 366                   
 367 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 368                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 369                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 370                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 371                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 372                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 373                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 374                   linked into the server.
 375 karl    1.88  
 376 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 377                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 378                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 379               
 380 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 381                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 382                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 383                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 384                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 385 karl    1.92      
 386               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 387                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 388                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 391 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 392 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 393               
 394               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 395                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 396                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 397                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 398 karl    1.53         
 399               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 400               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 401               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 402               	which is the current file based repository.
 403               	
 404               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 405               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 406               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 407               	in the future.
 408 karl    1.52  
 409 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 410                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 411                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 412                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 413                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 414                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 415               
 416 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 417 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 418                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 419                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 420                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 421                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 422               
 423 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 424 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 425                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 426                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 427                  program.
 428               
 429 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 430                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 431                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 432                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 433                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 434                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 435                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 436                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 437                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 438               
 439                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 440                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 441                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 442               
 443                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 444                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 445                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 446                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 447               
 448                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 449                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 450 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 451                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 452               
 453                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 454                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 455               
 456                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 464               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 465               
 466 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 467                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 468               
 469               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 470 mike    1.51  =======
 471               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 472               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 473               	
 474               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 475               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 476               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 477               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 478               	should not affect any current work.
 479               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 480               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 481               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 482               	
 483               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 484                       on XML output.
 485                       
 486               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 487               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 488               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 489               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 490               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 491 mike    1.51  
 492               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 493               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 494               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 495               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 496               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 497               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 498               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 499               to show user friendly error/status messages.

 501               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 502               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 503               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 504               generating debug output.

 506               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 507               xml when it generates xml output.
 508               
 509               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 510               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 511               repository implementation.
 512 mike    1.51  
 513               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 514

 516               
 517               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 518               
 519               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 520               
 521               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.
 522               
 523               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 524                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 525               
 526               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 527               
 528               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.
 529               
 530               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 531               
 532               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 533 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 534                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 535               
 536               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 537                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 538                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 539               
 540               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 541                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 542                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 543               
 544               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 545                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 546                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 547                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 548                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 549                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 550                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 551               
 552                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 553                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 554 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 555                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 556                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 557                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 558                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 559                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 560                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 561                   below:
 562               
 563                   //====================================================================
 564                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 565                   //====================================================================
 566                   [Description (
 567                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 568                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 569                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 570               
 571               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 572                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 573                   a provider library.
 574               
 575 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 576                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 577                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 578                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 579                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 580                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 581                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 582                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 583                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 584                   later). 
 585               
 586                   Also added are two test programs: 
 587               	
 588                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 589                       CIMParamValue class.
 590               	
 591                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 592                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 593                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 594                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 595                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 596 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 597               
 598               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 599                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 600                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 601                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 602                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 603                   and to verify the authentication.
 604               
 605                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 606                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 607                   yet linked into the build.
 608               
 609               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 610                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 611                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 612                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 613                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 614                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 615                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 616               
 617 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 618                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 619                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 620                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 621                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 622                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 623                   provider file path name.
 624               
 625               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 626                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 627                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 628                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 629                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 630                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 631                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 632                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 633               
 634               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 635                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 636                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 637                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 638 mike    1.51  
 639               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 640                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 641                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 642                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 643               
 644               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 645                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 646                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 647                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 648                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 649                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 650                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 651                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 652                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 653               
 654               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 655                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 656                   
 657               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 658               
 659 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 660                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 661                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 662                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 663                   in make files.
 664                  
 665               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 666                   because getting an error in 26
 667               
 668               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 669                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 670                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 671                   tag structure.
 672               
 673                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 674                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 675                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 676               
 677                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 678                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 679                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 680 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 681                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 682               
 683                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 684                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 685                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 686                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 687                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 688                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 689                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 690                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 691               
 692                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 693                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 694                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 695                   reference type.
 696               
 697                   In this example:
 698               
 699                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 700               
 701 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 702                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 703                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 704                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 705                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 706               
 707                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 708                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 709                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 710                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 711                   correctly.
 712               
 713                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 714                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 715               
 716                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 717                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 718                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 719                   CIMOM version.
 720               
 721                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 722 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 723                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 724                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 725                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 726                   definition to determine the key property types.
 727               
 728               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 729                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 730                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 731                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 732               
 733               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 734                   (instanceName).
 735               
 736               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 737                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 738                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 739                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 740               
 741               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 742                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 743 mike    1.51  
 744               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 745                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 746                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 747                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 748                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 749                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 750                   nsk platform links. 
 751               
 752               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 753                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 754                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 755                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 756                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 757                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 758                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 759               
 760                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 761                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 762                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 763                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 764 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 765                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 766                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 767               
 768               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 769                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 770                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 771                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 772               
 773               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 774                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 775                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 776                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 777                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 778               
 779               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 780                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 781                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 782                   be updated to use this class.
 783               
 784               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 785 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 786                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 787                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 788                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 789               
 790               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 791                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 792                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 793                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 794                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 795                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 796               
 797               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 798               
 799                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 800                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 801                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 802                         CIMNamedInstance
 803                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 804                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 805                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 806 mike    1.51  
 807                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 808               
 809                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 810                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 811                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 812                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 813                   functionality.
 814               
 815                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 816               
 817                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 818                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 819                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 820                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 821                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 822                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 823                         the entire instance.
 824               
 825                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 826                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 827 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 828               
 829                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 830                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 831                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 832               
 833                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 834                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 835               
 836               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 837                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 838                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 839                   the DMTF specification.
 840               
 841                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 842                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 843                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 844                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 845               
 846                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 847               
 848 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 849                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 850                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 851                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 852                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 853                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 854                         the entire instance.
 855               
 856                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 857                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 858                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 859                         be used to update the instance.
 860               
 861                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 862                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 863                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 864               
 865                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 866                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 867                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 868               
 869 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 870                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 871                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 872                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 873                   without the standard (std) namespace.
 874               
 875               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 876                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 877                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 878               
 879                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 880                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 881                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 882                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 883                   following command before starting cimserver:
 884               
 885                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 886               
 887                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 888                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 889                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 890 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 891                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 892                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 893                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 894               
 895               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 896                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 897                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 898               
 899               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 900                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 901                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 902                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 903                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 904               
 905                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 906                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 907                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 908                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 909                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 910                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 911 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 912               
 913               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 914                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 915               
 916                   Authentication and User Management:
 917                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 918                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 919                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 920                   generated password file. 
 921               
 922                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 923                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 924                   
 925                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 926                   management and authorization functionality.   
 927               
 928               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 929                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 930               
 931               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 932 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 933                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 934               
 935               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 936                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 937                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 938                 
 939               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 940                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 941                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 942                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 943                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 944                   or change in provider registration.  
 945               
 946               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 947                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 948                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 949                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 950               
 951               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 952                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 953 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 954                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 955                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 956                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 957                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 958                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 959                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
 960                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 961                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 962                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 963                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 964 mike    1.50  
 965 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 966                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.

1012 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1013                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1014                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1015               
1016               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1017                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1018                  that
1019                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1020                  password.
1021                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1022                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1023                  build.
1024                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1025                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1078 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1079 karl    1.16  
1080               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1081               for NT and Linux platforms.
1082 mike    1.26  
1083 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1084               5988.
1085               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1086               the DMTF.
1087 mike    1.26  
1088 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1089               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1090               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1091               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1092 mike    1.26  
1093 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1094               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1095               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1096 mike    1.26  
1097 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1098               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1099               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1100               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1101               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1102               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1103 bob     1.20  (grb)
1104 mike    1.26  
1105 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1106               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1107               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1108 mike    1.26  
1109 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1110 mike    1.26  
1111 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1112               modifyClass,
1113 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1114 mike    1.26  
1115 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1116               directory. These
1117               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1118               CIMProviderStub has
1119 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1120 mike    1.26  
1121 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1122 mike    1.26  
1123 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1124               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1125 mike    1.26  
1126               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1127 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1128               
1129               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1130                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1131                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1132                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1133                   (MEB)
1134 mike    1.26  
1135 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1136               
1137 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1138               AssociationName
1139 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1140               pages.
1141               
1142 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1143 sage    1.31  
1144               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1145               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1146               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1147               variables.
1148 mike    1.32  
1149               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1150                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1151                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1152 kumpf   1.34  
1153               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1154                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1155                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1156                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1157                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1158                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1159                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1160 karl    1.35  
1161               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1162                   tests for stack and queue.

1239               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1240               qualifiers, methods.
1241               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1242               methods.
1243               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1244               qualifiers and to
1245               remove qualifiers.
1246               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1247               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1248 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1249               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1250               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1251               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1252               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
