   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               
  54 kumpf   1.104 8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be
  55                  returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned.
  56                  Added a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.
  57

  60 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  61 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  62               of problems with the CVS repository
  63 karl    1.93  
  64 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  65 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
  66                  
  67 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  68                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

  70 karl    1.59  
  71               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  72               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  73               TAG: VERSION_1_07
  74               
  75               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  76               
  77 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  78 karl    1.59  
  79 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  80                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  81                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  82                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  83                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  84                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  85                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  86               
  87                   For more information look in to the following files:
  88                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  89                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  90                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  91                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  92               
  93               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  94 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  95                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  96                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  97                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  98                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  99 karl    1.63     
 100 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 101 karl    1.62  
 102 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
 103 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
 104               
 105 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 106 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 107               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 108               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 109               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 110               
 111 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 112 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 113               will be deleted.
 114               
 115 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
 116               
 117               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 118 karl    1.66  
 119 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 120                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 121                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 122                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 123                   for remote clients.
 124 karl    1.66  
 125 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 126                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 127                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 128                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 129                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 130                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 131                   values.
 132               
 133                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 134               
 135                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 136                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 137                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 138                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 139                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 140                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 141               
 142                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 143                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 144                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 145                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 146 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 147                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 148                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 149                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 150                   specified in the method definition.
 151               
 152                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 153               
 154                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 155                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 156                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 157                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 158                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 159                   correct type rather than as a String.
 160               
 161                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 162                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 163                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 164                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 165                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 166                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 167 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 168               
 169                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 170                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 171                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 172               
 173                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 174               
 175                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 176                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 177                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 178                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 179                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 180               
 181                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 182                   clean-up, which I completed.
 183               
 184                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 185               
 186                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 187                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 188 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 189                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 190                   the specified value to that property's type.
 191               
 192                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 193                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 194                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 195                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 196               
 197                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 198                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 199                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 200                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 201                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 202                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 203               
 204 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 205                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 206                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 207                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 208                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 209                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 210                   encoding of parameter values.
 211               
 212                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 213                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 214                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 215                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 216                   have defaulted to String type.
 217 karl    1.70      
 218               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 219                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 220 karl    1.72    
 221 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 222                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 223                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 224                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 225                   the server.
 226 karl    1.72      
 227               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 228                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 229                  
 230 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 231                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 232                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 233                   operations.
 234               
 235                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 236 karl    1.74      
 237               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 238                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 239 karl    1.76      
 240 kumpf   1.68  
 241 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 242                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 243                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 244                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 245                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 246                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 247                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 248               
 249                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 250                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 251                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 252                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 253                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 254                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 255                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 256                   a single buffer.
 257               
 258                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 259                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 260                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 261                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 262 kumpf   1.75  
 263               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 264                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 265                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 266                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 267               
 268                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 269                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 270                   validated.
 271 karl    1.76  
 272               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 273                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 274                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 275 karl    1.78      
 276 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 277                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 278               
 279                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 280                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 281                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 282                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 283               
 284                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 285               
 286                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 287               
 288                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 289               
 290                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 291               
 292                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 293                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 294                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 295                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 296                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 297 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 298                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 299                   rather than in the constructor.
 300               
 301                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 302                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 303                   included in the Pegasus build.
 304 kumpf   1.79  
 305 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 306                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 307 kumpf   1.75  
 308 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 309                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 310                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 311                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 312                   for that purpose.   
 313               
 314                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 315               
 316                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 317                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 318                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 319                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 320                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 321               
 322                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 323               
 324                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 325                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 326                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 327               
 328                     (ex.)
 329 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 330                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 331               
 332                     or use the following new macro:
 333                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 334                   
 335 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 336 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 337               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 338               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 339               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 340               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 341 ramnath 1.81  
 342               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 343               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 344               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 345               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 346               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 347               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 348               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 349               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 350 ramnath 1.80  
 351 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 352               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 353               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 354               	in the Windows service work thread.
 355               
 356 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 357                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 358               	executable
 359                      
 360               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 361                       executable. 
 362 kumpf   1.84  
 363               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 364                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 365                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 366                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 367                   an integer of the specified size.
 368               
 369 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 370                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 371               
 372 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 373                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 374                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 375                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 376               
 377 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 378                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 379 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 380 karl    1.88  	
 381               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 382                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 383                   
 384 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 385                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 386                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 387                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 388                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 389                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 390                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 391                   linked into the server.
 392 karl    1.88  
 393 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 394                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 395                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 396               
 397 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 398                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 399                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 400                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 401                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 402 karl    1.92      
 403               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 404                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 405                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 406                   
 407 kumpf   1.91  
 408 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 409 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 410               
 411               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 412                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 413                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 414                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 415 karl    1.53         
 416               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 417               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 418               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 419               	which is the current file based repository.
 420               	
 421               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 422               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 423               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 424               	in the future.
 425 karl    1.52  
 426 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 427                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 428                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 429                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 430                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 431                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 432               
 433 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 434 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 435                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 436                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 437                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 438                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 439               
 440 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 441 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 442                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 443                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 444                  program.
 445               
 446 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 447                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 448                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 449                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 450                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 451                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 452                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 453                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 454                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 455               
 456                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 457                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 458                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 459               
 460                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 461                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 462                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 463                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 464               
 465                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 466                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 467 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 468                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 469               
 470                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 471                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 472               
 473                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

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

 968               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 969                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 970 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 971                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 972                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 973                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 974                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 975                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 976                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
 977                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 978                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 979                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 980                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 981 mike    1.50  
 982 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 983                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 984

1030                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1031                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1032               
1033               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1034                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1035                  that
1036                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1037                  password.
1038                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1039                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1040                  build.
1041                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1042                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1095 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1096 karl    1.16  
1097               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1098               for NT and Linux platforms.
1099 mike    1.26  
1100 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1101               5988.
1102               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1103               the DMTF.
1104 mike    1.26  
1105 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1106               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1107               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1108               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1109 mike    1.26  
1110 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1111               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1112               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1113 mike    1.26  
1114 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1115               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1116               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1117               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1118               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1119               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1120 bob     1.20  (grb)
1121 mike    1.26  
1122 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1123               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1124               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1125 mike    1.26  
1126 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1127 mike    1.26  
1128 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1129               modifyClass,
1130 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1131 mike    1.26  
1132 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1133               directory. These
1134               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1135               CIMProviderStub has
1136 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1137 mike    1.26  
1138 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1139 mike    1.26  
1140 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1141               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1142 mike    1.26  
1143               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1144 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1145               
1146               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1147                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1148                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1149                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1150                   (MEB)

1152 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1153               
1154 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1155               AssociationName
1156 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1157               pages.
1158               
1159 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1160 sage    1.31  
1161               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1162               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1163               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1164               variables.
1165 mike    1.32  
1166               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1167                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1168                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1169 kumpf   1.34  
1170               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1171                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1172                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1173                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1174                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1175                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1176                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1177 karl    1.35  
1178               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1179                   tests for stack and queue.

1243 karl    1.5   
1244 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1245               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1246               
1247 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1248               of dynamic lib loaading.

1255 karl    1.1   
1256               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1257               qualifiers, methods.
1258               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1259               methods.
1260               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1261               qualifiers and to
1262               remove qualifiers.
1263               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1264               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1265 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1266               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1267               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1268               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1269               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
