   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               
  41 kumpf   1.102 7. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Apr 2002 - The RETURNVALUE and IRETURNVALUE elements
  42                  of the XML encoding of operation responses had been treated as mandatory.
  43                  The client response decoder has been updated to make those elements
  44                  optional for operations that do not require a return value.  The server
  45                  response encoder has been updated not to include those elements when the
  46                  request does not include a return value.
  47

  50 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  51 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  52               of problems with the CVS repository
  53 karl    1.93  
  54 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  55 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
  56                  
  57 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  58                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

  60 karl    1.59  
  61               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  62               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  63               TAG: VERSION_1_07
  64               
  65               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  66               
  67 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  68 karl    1.59  
  69 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  70                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  71                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  72                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  73                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  74                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  75                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  76               
  77                   For more information look in to the following files:
  78                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  79                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  80                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  81                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  82               
  83               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  84 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  85                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  86                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  87                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  88                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  89 karl    1.63     
  90 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
  91 karl    1.62  
  92 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
  93 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
  94               
  95 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
  96 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
  97               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
  98               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
  99               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 100               
 101 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 102 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 103               will be deleted.
 104               
 105 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
 106               
 107               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 108 karl    1.66  
 109 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 110                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 111                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 112                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 113                   for remote clients.
 114 karl    1.66  
 115 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 116                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 117                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 118                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 119                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 120                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 121                   values.
 122               
 123                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 124               
 125                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 126                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 127                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 128                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 129                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 130                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 131               
 132                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 133                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 134                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 135                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 136 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 137                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 138                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 139                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 140                   specified in the method definition.
 141               
 142                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 143               
 144                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 145                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 146                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 147                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 148                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 149                   correct type rather than as a String.
 150               
 151                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 152                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 153                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 154                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 155                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 156                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 157 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 158               
 159                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 160                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 161                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 162               
 163                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 164               
 165                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 166                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 167                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 168                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 169                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 170               
 171                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 172                   clean-up, which I completed.
 173               
 174                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 175               
 176                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 177                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 178 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 179                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 180                   the specified value to that property's type.
 181               
 182                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 183                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 184                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 185                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 186               
 187                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 188                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 189                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 190                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 191                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 192                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 193               
 194 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 195                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 196                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 197                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 198                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 199                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 200                   encoding of parameter values.
 201               
 202                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 203                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 204                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 205                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 206                   have defaulted to String type.
 207 karl    1.70      
 208               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 209                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 210 karl    1.72    
 211 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 212                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 213                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 214                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 215                   the server.
 216 karl    1.72      
 217               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 218                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 219                  
 220 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 221                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 222                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 223                   operations.
 224               
 225                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 226 karl    1.74      
 227               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 228                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 229 karl    1.76      
 230 kumpf   1.68  
 231 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 232                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 233                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 234                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 235                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 236                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 237                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 238               
 239                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 240                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 241                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 242                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 243                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 244                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 245                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 246                   a single buffer.
 247               
 248                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 249                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 250                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 251                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 252 kumpf   1.75  
 253               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 254                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 255                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 256                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 257               
 258                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 259                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 260                   validated.

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

 266 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 267                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 268               
 269                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 270                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 271                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 272                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 273               
 274                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 275               
 276                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 277               
 278                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 279               
 280                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 281               
 282                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 283                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 284                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 285                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 286                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 287 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 288                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 289                   rather than in the constructor.
 290               
 291                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 292                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 293                   included in the Pegasus build.
 294 kumpf   1.79  
 295 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 296                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 297 kumpf   1.75  
 298 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 299                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 300                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 301                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 302                   for that purpose.   
 303               
 304                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 305               
 306                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 307                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 308                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 309                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 310                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 311               
 312                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 313               
 314                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 315                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 316                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 317               
 318                     (ex.)
 319 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 320                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 321               
 322                     or use the following new macro:
 323                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 324                   
 325 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 326 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 327               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 328               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 329               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 330               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 331 ramnath 1.81  
 332               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 333               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 334               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 335               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 336               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 337               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 338               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 339               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 340 ramnath 1.80  
 341 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 342               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 343               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 344               	in the Windows service work thread.
 345               
 346 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 347                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 348               	executable
 349                      
 350               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 351                       executable. 
 352 kumpf   1.84  
 353               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 354                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 355                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 356                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 357                   an integer of the specified size.
 358               
 359 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 360                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 361               
 362 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 363                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 364                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 365                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 366               
 367 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 368                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 369 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 370 karl    1.88  	
 371               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 372                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 373                   
 374 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 375                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 376                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 377                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 378                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 379                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 380                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 381                   linked into the server.
 382 karl    1.88  
 383 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 384                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 385                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 386               
 387 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 388                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 389                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 390                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 391                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 392 karl    1.92      
 393               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 394                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 395                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 396

 398 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 399 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 400               
 401               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 402                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 403                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 404                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 405 karl    1.53         
 406               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 407               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 408               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 409               	which is the current file based repository.
 410               	
 411               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 412               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 413               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 414               	in the future.
 415 karl    1.52  
 416 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 417                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 418                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 419                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 420                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 421                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 422               
 423 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 424 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 425                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 426                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 427                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 428                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 429               
 430 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 431 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 432                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 433                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 434                  program.
 435               
 436 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 437                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 438                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 439                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 440                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 441                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 442                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 443                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 444                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 445               
 446                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 447                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 448                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 449               
 450                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 451                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 452                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 453                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 454               
 455                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 456                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 457 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 458                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 459               
 460                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 461                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 462               
 463                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 472               
 473 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 474                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 475               
 476               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 477 mike    1.51  =======
 478               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 479               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 480               	
 481               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 482               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 483               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 484               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 485               	should not affect any current work.
 486               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 487               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 488               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 489               	
 490               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 491                       on XML output.
 492                       
 493               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 494               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 495               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 496               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 497               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 498 mike    1.51  
 499               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 500               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 501               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 502               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 503               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 504               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 505               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 506               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 507                       
 508               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 509               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 510               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 511               generating debug output.
 512               
 513               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 514               xml when it generates xml output.
 515               
 516               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 517               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 518               repository implementation.
 519 mike    1.51  
 520               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 521               
 522               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 523               
 524               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 525               
 526               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 527               
 528               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.
 529               
 530               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 531                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 532               
 533               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 534               
 535               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.
 536               
 537               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 538               
 539               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 540 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 541                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 542               
 543               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 544                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 545                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 546               
 547               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 548                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 549                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 550               
 551               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 552                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 553                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 554                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 555                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 556                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 557                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 558               
 559                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 560                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 561 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 562                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 563                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 564                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 565                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 566                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 567                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 568                   below:
 569               
 570                   //====================================================================
 571                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 572                   //====================================================================
 573                   [Description (
 574                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 575                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 576                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 577               
 578               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 579                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 580                   a provider library.
 581               
 582 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 583                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 584                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 585                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 586                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 587                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 588                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 589                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 590                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 591                   later). 
 592               
 593                   Also added are two test programs: 
 594               	
 595                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 596                       CIMParamValue class.
 597               	
 598                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 599                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 600                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 601                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 602                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 603 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 604               
 605               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 606                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 607                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 608                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 609                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 610                   and to verify the authentication.
 611               
 612                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 613                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 614                   yet linked into the build.
 615               
 616               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 617                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 618                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 619                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 620                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 621                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 622                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 623               
 624 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 625                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 626                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 627                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 628                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 629                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 630                   provider file path name.
 631               
 632               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 633                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 634                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 635                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 636                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 637                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 638                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 639                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 640               
 641               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 642                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 643                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 644                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 645 mike    1.51  
 646               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 647                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 648                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 649                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 650               
 651               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 652                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 653                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 654                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 655                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 656                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 657                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 658                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 659                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 660               
 661               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 662                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 663                   
 664               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 665               
 666 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 667                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 668                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 669                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 670                   in make files.
 671                  
 672               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 673                   because getting an error in 26
 674               
 675               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 676                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 677                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 678                   tag structure.
 679               
 680                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 681                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 682                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 683               
 684                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 685                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 686                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 687 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 688                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 689               
 690                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 691                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 692                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 693                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 694                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 695                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 696                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 697                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 698               
 699                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 700                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 701                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 702                   reference type.
 703               
 704                   In this example:
 705               
 706                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 707               
 708 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 709                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 710                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 711                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 712                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 713               
 714                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 715                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 716                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 717                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 718                   correctly.
 719               
 720                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 721                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 722               
 723                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 724                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 725                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 726                   CIMOM version.
 727               
 728                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 729 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 730                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 731                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 732                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 733                   definition to determine the key property types.
 734               
 735               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 736                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 737                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 738                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 739               
 740               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 741                   (instanceName).
 742               
 743               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 744                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 745                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 746                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 747               
 748               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 749                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 750 mike    1.51  
 751               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 752                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 753                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 754                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 755                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 756                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 757                   nsk platform links. 
 758               
 759               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 760                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 761                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 762                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 763                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 764                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 765                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 766               
 767                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 768                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 769                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 770                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 771 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 772                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 773                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 774               
 775               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 776                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 777                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 778                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 779               
 780               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 781                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 782                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 783                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 784                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 785               
 786               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 787                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 788                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 789                   be updated to use this class.
 790               
 791               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 792 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 793                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 794                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 795                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 796               
 797               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 798                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 799                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 800                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 801                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 802                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 803               
 804               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 805               
 806                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 807                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 808                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 809                         CIMNamedInstance
 810                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 811                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 812                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 813 mike    1.51  
 814                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 815               
 816                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 817                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 818                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 819                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 820                   functionality.
 821               
 822                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 823               
 824                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 825                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 826                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 827                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 828                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 829                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 830                         the entire instance.
 831               
 832                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 833                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 834 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 835               
 836                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 837                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 838                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 839               
 840                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 841                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 842               
 843               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 844                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 845                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 846                   the DMTF specification.
 847               
 848                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 849                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 850                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 851                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 852               
 853                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 854               
 855 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 856                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 857                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 858                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 859                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 860                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 861                         the entire instance.
 862               
 863                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 864                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 865                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 866                         be used to update the instance.
 867               
 868                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 869                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 870                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 871               
 872                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 873                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 874                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 875               
 876 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 877                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 878                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 879                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 880                   without the standard (std) namespace.
 881               
 882               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 883                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 884                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 885               
 886                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 887                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 888                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 889                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 890                   following command before starting cimserver:
 891               
 892                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 893               
 894                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 895                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 896                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 897 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 898                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 899                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 900                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 901               
 902               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 903                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 904                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 905               
 906               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 907                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 908                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 909                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 910                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 911               
 912                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 913                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 914                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 915                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 916                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 917                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 918 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 919               
 920               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 921                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 922               
 923                   Authentication and User Management:
 924                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 925                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 926                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 927                   generated password file. 
 928               
 929                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 930                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 931                   
 932                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 933                   management and authorization functionality.   
 934               
 935               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 936                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 937               
 938               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 939 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 940                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 941               
 942               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 943                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 944                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 945                 
 946               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 947                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 948                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 949                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 950                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 951                   or change in provider registration.  
 952               
 953               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 954                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 955                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 956                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 957               
 958               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 959                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 960 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 961                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 962                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 963                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 964                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 965                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 966                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
 967                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 968                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 969                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 970                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 971 mike    1.50  
 972 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 973                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.

1019 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1020                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1021                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1022               
1023               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1024                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1025                  that
1026                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1027                  password.
1028                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1029                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1030                  build.
1031                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1032                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1060               
1061               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1062                  ids to queue pointers).
1063               
1064 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler

1085 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1086 karl    1.16  
1087               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1088               for NT and Linux platforms.
1089 mike    1.26  
1090 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1091               5988.
1092               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1093               the DMTF.
1094 mike    1.26  
1095 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1096               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1097               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1098               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1099 mike    1.26  
1100 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1101               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1102               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1103 mike    1.26  
1104 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1105               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1106               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1107               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1108               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1109               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1110 bob     1.20  (grb)
1111 mike    1.26  
1112 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1113               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1114               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1115 mike    1.26  
1116 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1117 mike    1.26  
1118 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1119               modifyClass,
1120 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1121 mike    1.26  
1122 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1123               directory. These
1124               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1125               CIMProviderStub has
1126 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1127 mike    1.26  
1128 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1129 mike    1.26  
1130 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1131               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1132 mike    1.26  
1133               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1134 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1135               
1136               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1137                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1138                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1139                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1140                   (MEB)
1141 mike    1.26  
1142 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1143               
1144 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1145               AssociationName
1146 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1147               pages.
1148               
1149 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1150 sage    1.31  
1151               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1152               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1153               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1154               variables.
1155 mike    1.32  
1156               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1157                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1158                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1159 kumpf   1.34  
1160               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1161                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1162                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1163                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1164                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1165                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1166                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1167 karl    1.35  
1168               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1169                   tests for stack and queue.

1246               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1247               qualifiers, methods.
1248               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1249               methods.
1250               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1251               qualifiers and to
1252               remove qualifiers.
1253               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1254               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1255 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1256               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1257               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1258               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1259               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
