   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               
  48 kumpf   1.103 8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 9 Apr 2002 - Updated the Instance, Association, and
  49                  Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String>
  50                  for the propertyList parameters.  All providers that implement a method
  51                  with a propertyList parameter must be modified in accordance with this
  52                  change.  All providers linked into the Pegasus build have been updated.
  53

  55               
  56 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  57 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  58               of problems with the CVS repository
  59 karl    1.93  
  60 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  61 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
  62                  
  63 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  64                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
  65 karl    1.93  ========================================================================
  66 karl    1.59  
  67               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  68               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  69               TAG: VERSION_1_07
  70               
  71               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  72               
  73 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  74 karl    1.59  
  75 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  76                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  77                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  78                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  79                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  80                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  81                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  82               
  83                   For more information look in to the following files:
  84                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  85                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  86                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  87                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  88               
  89               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  90 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  91                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  92                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  93                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  94                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  95 karl    1.63     
  96 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
  97 karl    1.62  
  98 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
  99 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
 100               
 101 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 102 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 103               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 104               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 105               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 106               
 107 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 108 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 109               will be deleted.
 110               
 111 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
 112               
 113               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 114 karl    1.66  
 115 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 116                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 117                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 118                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 119                   for remote clients.
 120 karl    1.66  
 121 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 122                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 123                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 124                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 125                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 126                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 127                   values.
 128               
 129                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 130               
 131                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 132                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 133                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 134                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 135                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 136                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 137               
 138                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 139                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 140                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 141                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 142 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 143                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 144                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 145                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 146                   specified in the method definition.
 147               
 148                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 149               
 150                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 151                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 152                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 153                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 154                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 155                   correct type rather than as a String.
 156               
 157                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 158                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 159                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 160                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 161                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 162                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 163 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 164               
 165                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 166                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 167                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 168               
 169                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 170               
 171                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 172                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 173                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 174                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 175                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 176               
 177                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 178                   clean-up, which I completed.
 179               
 180                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 181               
 182                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 183                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 184 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 185                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 186                   the specified value to that property's type.
 187               
 188                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 189                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 190                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 191                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 192               
 193                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 194                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 195                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 196                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 197                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 198                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 199               
 200 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 201                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 202                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 203                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 204                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 205                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 206                   encoding of parameter values.
 207               
 208                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 209                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 210                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 211                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 212                   have defaulted to String type.
 213 karl    1.70      
 214               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 215                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 216 karl    1.72    
 217 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 218                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 219                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 220                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 221                   the server.
 222 karl    1.72      
 223               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 224                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 225                  
 226 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 227                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 228                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 229                   operations.
 230               
 231                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 232 karl    1.74      
 233               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 234                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 235 karl    1.76      
 236 kumpf   1.68  
 237 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 238                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 239                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 240                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 241                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 242                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 243                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 244               
 245                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 246                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 247                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 248                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 249                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 250                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 251                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 252                   a single buffer.
 253               
 254                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 255                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 256                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 257                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 258 kumpf   1.75  
 259               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 260                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 261                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 262                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 263               
 264                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 265                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 266                   validated.
 267 karl    1.76  
 268               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 269                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 270                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 271 karl    1.78      
 272 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 273                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 274               
 275                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 276                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 277                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 278                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 279               
 280                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 281               
 282                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 283               
 284                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 285               
 286                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 287               
 288                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 289                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 290                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 291                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 292                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 293 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 294                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 295                   rather than in the constructor.
 296               
 297                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 298                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 299                   included in the Pegasus build.
 300 kumpf   1.79  
 301 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 302                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 303 kumpf   1.75  
 304 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 305                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 306                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 307                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 308                   for that purpose.   
 309               
 310                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 311               
 312                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 313                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 314                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 315                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 316                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 317               
 318                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 319               
 320                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 321                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 322                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 323               
 324                     (ex.)
 325 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 326                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 327               
 328                     or use the following new macro:
 329                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 330                   
 331 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 332 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 333               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 334               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 335               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 336               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 337 ramnath 1.81  
 338               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 339               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 340               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 341               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 342               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 343               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 344               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 345               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 346 ramnath 1.80  
 347 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 348               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 349               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 350               	in the Windows service work thread.
 351               
 352 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 353                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 354               	executable
 355                      
 356               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 357                       executable. 
 358 kumpf   1.84  
 359               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 360                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 361                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 362                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 363                   an integer of the specified size.
 364               
 365 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 366                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 367               
 368 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 369                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 370                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 371                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 372               
 373 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 374                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 375 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 376 karl    1.88  	
 377               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 378                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 379                   
 380 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 381                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 382                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 383                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 384                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 385                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 386                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 387                   linked into the server.
 388 karl    1.88  
 389 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 390                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 391                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 392               
 393 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 394                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 395                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 396                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 397                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 398 karl    1.92      
 399               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 400                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 401                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 402                   
 403 kumpf   1.91  
 404 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 405 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 406               
 407               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 408                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 409                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 410                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 411 karl    1.53         
 412               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 413               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 414               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 415               	which is the current file based repository.
 416               	
 417               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 418               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 419               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 420               	in the future.
 421 karl    1.52  
 422 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 423                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 424                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 425                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 426                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 427                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 428               
 429 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 430 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 431                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 432                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 433                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 434                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 435               
 436 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 437 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 438                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 439                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 440                  program.
 441               
 442 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 443                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 444                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 445                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 446                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 447                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 448                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 449                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 450                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 451               
 452                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 453                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 454                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 455               
 456                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 457                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 458                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 459                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 460               
 461                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 462                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 463 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 464                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 465               
 466                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 467                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 468               
 469                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

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

1025 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1026                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1027                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1028               
1029               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1030                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1031                  that
1032                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1033                  password.
1034                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1035                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1036                  build.
1037                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1038                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1061               
1062 kumpf   1.40  3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
1063                  allow slp to compile.
1064               
1065 mike    1.42  4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
1066               
1067               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1068                  ids to queue pointers).
1069               
1070 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler

1091 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1092 karl    1.16  
1093               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1094               for NT and Linux platforms.
1095 mike    1.26  
1096 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1097               5988.
1098               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1099               the DMTF.
1100 mike    1.26  
1101 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1102               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1103               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1104               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1105 mike    1.26  
1106 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1107               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1108               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1109 mike    1.26  
1110 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1111               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1112               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1113               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1114               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1115               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1116 bob     1.20  (grb)
1117 mike    1.26  
1118 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1119               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1120               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1121 mike    1.26  
1122 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1123 mike    1.26  
1124 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1125               modifyClass,
1126 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1127 mike    1.26  
1128 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1129               directory. These
1130               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1131               CIMProviderStub has
1132 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1133 mike    1.26  
1134 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1135 mike    1.26  
1136 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1137               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1138 mike    1.26  
1139               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1140 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1141               
1142               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1143                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1144                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1145                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1146                   (MEB)
1147 mike    1.26  
1148 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1149               
1150 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1151               AssociationName
1152 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1153               pages.
1154               
1155 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1156 sage    1.31  
1157               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1158               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1159               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1160               variables.
1161 mike    1.32  
1162               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1163                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1164                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1165 kumpf   1.34  
1166               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1167                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1168                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1169                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1170                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1171                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1172                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1173 karl    1.35  
1174               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1175                   tests for stack and queue.

1240 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1241               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1242               
1243 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1244               of dynamic lib loaading.

1251 karl    1.1   
1252               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1253               qualifiers, methods.
1254               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1255               methods.
1256               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1257               qualifiers and to
1258               remove qualifiers.
1259               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1260               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1261 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1262               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1263               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1264               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1265               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
