   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               
  54 kumpf   1.105 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be
  55 kumpf   1.104    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 kumpf   1.105 
  58               10. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName()
  59                   method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition
  60                   from all the subclasses.  To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets
  61                   the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to
  62                   the MessageQueue constructor was removed.  Constants were defined in
  63                   Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus.  The
  64                   places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also
  65                   changed to use the constants.
  66 kumpf   1.104 
  67 kumpf   1.106 11. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTPError exception to
  68                   report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications.  Added
  69                   an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error
  70                   response.  Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to
  71                   process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages.
  72                   Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an
  73                   HTTP error.  This functionality required fundamental changes in the
  74                   way CIMClient processes messages.  It can no longer search its queue
  75                   for a message of the expected type.  Instead, is assumes that no
  76                   messages should be on its queue unless it has sent a request to the
  77                   encoder.  In that case, it assumes that any message on its queue is
  78                   the response to that request.
  79               
  80 kumpf   1.107 12. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Extended versioning strategy
  81                   to allow platform-specific version strings.
  82               
  83 kumpf   1.108 13. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Renamed shared library for
  84                   ManagedSystem/OperatingSystem provider so that it would not
  85                   conflict with library name of generic/OperatingSystem provider. 
  86               
  87 kumpf   1.109 14. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Added compile flags  _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD flags for platform_HPUX_PARISC_ACC.
  88               
  89 kumpf   1.108

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

 440 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 441 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 442               
 443               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 444                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 445                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 446                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 447 karl    1.53         
 448               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 449               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 450               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 451               	which is the current file based repository.
 452               	
 453               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 454               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 455               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 456               	in the future.
 457 karl    1.52  
 458 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 459                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 460                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 461                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 462                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 463                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 464               
 465 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 466 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 467                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 468                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 469                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 470                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 471               
 472 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 473 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 474                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 475                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 476                  program.
 477               
 478 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 479                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 480                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 481                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 482                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 483                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 484                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 485                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 486                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 487               
 488                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 489                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 490                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 491               
 492                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 493                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 494                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 495                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 496               
 497                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 498                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 499 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 500                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 501               
 502                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 503                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 504               
 505                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 513               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 514               
 515 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 516                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 517               
 518               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 519 mike    1.51  =======
 520               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 521               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 522               	
 523               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 524               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 525               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 526               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 527               	should not affect any current work.
 528               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 529               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 530               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 531               	
 532               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 533                       on XML output.
 534                       
 535               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 536               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 537               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 538               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 539               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 540 mike    1.51  
 541               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 542               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 543               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 544               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 545               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 546               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 547               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 548               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 549                       
 550               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 551               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 552               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 553               generating debug output.
 554               
 555               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 556               xml when it generates xml output.
 557               
 558               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 559               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 560               repository implementation.
 561 mike    1.51  
 562               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 563               
 564               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 565               
 566               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 567               
 568               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 569               
 570               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.
 571               
 572               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 573                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 574               
 575               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 576               
 577               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.
 578               
 579               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 580               
 581               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 582 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 583                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 584               
 585               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 586                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 587                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 588               
 589               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 590                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 591                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 592               
 593               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 594                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 595                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 596                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 597                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 598                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 599                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 600               
 601                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 602                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 603 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 604                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 605                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 606                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 607                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 608                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 609                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 610                   below:
 611               
 612                   //====================================================================
 613                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 614                   //====================================================================
 615                   [Description (
 616                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 617                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 618                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 619               
 620               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 621                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 622                   a provider library.
 623               
 624 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 625                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 626                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 627                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 628                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 629                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 630                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 631                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 632                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 633                   later). 
 634               
 635                   Also added are two test programs: 
 636               	
 637                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 638                       CIMParamValue class.
 639               	
 640                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 641                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 642                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 643                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 644                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 645 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 646               
 647               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 648                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 649                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 650                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 651                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 652                   and to verify the authentication.
 653               
 654                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 655                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 656                   yet linked into the build.
 657               
 658               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 659                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 660                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 661                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 662                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 663                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 664                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 665               
 666 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 667                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 668                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 669                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 670                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 671                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 672                   provider file path name.
 673               
 674               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 675                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 676                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 677                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 678                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 679                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 680                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 681                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 682               
 683               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 684                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 685                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 686                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 687 mike    1.51  
 688               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 689                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 690                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 691                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 692               
 693               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 694                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 695                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 696                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 697                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 698                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 699                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 700                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 701                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 702               
 703               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 704                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 705                   
 706               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 707               
 708 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 709                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 710                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 711                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 712                   in make files.
 713                  
 714               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 715                   because getting an error in 26
 716               
 717               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 718                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 719                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 720                   tag structure.
 721               
 722                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 723                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 724                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 725               
 726                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 727                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 728                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 729 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 730                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 731               
 732                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 733                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 734                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 735                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 736                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 737                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 738                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 739                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 740               
 741                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 742                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 743                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 744                   reference type.
 745               
 746                   In this example:
 747               
 748                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 749               
 750 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 751                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 752                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 753                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 754                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 755               
 756                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 757                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 758                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 759                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 760                   correctly.
 761               
 762                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 763                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 764               
 765                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 766                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 767                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 768                   CIMOM version.
 769               
 770                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 771 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 772                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 773                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 774                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 775                   definition to determine the key property types.
 776               
 777               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 778                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 779                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 780                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 781               
 782               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 783                   (instanceName).
 784               
 785               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 786                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 787                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 788                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 789               
 790               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 791                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 792 mike    1.51  
 793               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 794                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 795                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 796                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 797                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 798                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 799                   nsk platform links. 
 800               
 801               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 802                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 803                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 804                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 805                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 806                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 807                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 808               
 809                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 810                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 811                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 812                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 813 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 814                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 815                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 816               
 817               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 818                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 819                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 820                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 821               
 822               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 823                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 824                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 825                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 826                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 827               
 828               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 829                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 830                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 831                   be updated to use this class.
 832               
 833               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 834 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 835                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 836                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 837                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 838               
 839               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 840                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 841                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 842                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 843                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 844                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 845               
 846               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 847               
 848                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 849                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 850                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 851                         CIMNamedInstance
 852                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 853                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 854                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 855 mike    1.51  
 856                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 857               
 858                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 859                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 860                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 861                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 862                   functionality.
 863               
 864                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 865               
 866                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 867                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 868                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 869                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 870                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 871                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 872                         the entire instance.
 873               
 874                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 875                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 876 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 877               
 878                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 879                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 880                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 881               
 882                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 883                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 884               
 885               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 886                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 887                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 888                   the DMTF specification.
 889               
 890                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 891                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 892                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 893                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 894               
 895                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 896               
 897 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 898                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 899                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 900                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 901                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 902                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 903                         the entire instance.
 904               
 905                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 906                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 907                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 908                         be used to update the instance.
 909               
 910                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 911                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 912                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 913               
 914                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 915                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 916                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 917               
 918 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 919                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 920                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 921                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 922                   without the standard (std) namespace.
 923               
 924               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 925                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 926                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 927               
 928                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 929                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 930                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 931                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 932                   following command before starting cimserver:
 933               
 934                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 935               
 936                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 937                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 938                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 939 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 940                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 941                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 942                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 943               
 944               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 945                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 946                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 947               
 948               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 949                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 950                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 951                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 952                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 953               
 954                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 955                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 956                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 957                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 958                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 959                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 960 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 961               
 962               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 963                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 964               
 965                   Authentication and User Management:
 966                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 967                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 968                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 969                   generated password file. 
 970               
 971                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 972                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 973                   
 974                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 975                   management and authorization functionality.   
 976               
 977               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 978                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 979               
 980               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 981 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 982                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 983               
 984               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 985                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 986                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 987                 
 988               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 989                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 990                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 991                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 992                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 993                   or change in provider registration.  
 994               
 995               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 996                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 997                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 998                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 999               
1000               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1001                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1002 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1003                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1004                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1005                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1006                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1007                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1008                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1009                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1010                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1011                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1012                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1013 mike    1.50  
1014 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1015                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1016               
1017               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1049                  the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1050                  src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1051               
1052               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1053                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1054                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

1061 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1062                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1063                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1064               
1065               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1066                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1067                  that
1068                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1069                  password.
1070                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1071                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1072                  build.
1073                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1074                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1090               
1091 kumpf   1.39  2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes
1092                  in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names.
1093               
1094 mike    1.41  3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes.
1095               
1096               4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.
1097               
1098 kumpf   1.40  3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
1099                  allow slp to compile.
1100               
1101 mike    1.42  4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
1102               
1103               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1104                  ids to queue pointers).
1105               
1106 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1107                  and Dispatcher.
1108               
1109 karl    1.48  7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1110               and
1111                  CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1112 chip    1.44     ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

1127 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1128 karl    1.16  
1129               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1130               for NT and Linux platforms.
1131 mike    1.26  
1132 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1133               5988.
1134               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1135               the DMTF.
1136 mike    1.26  
1137 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1138               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1139               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1140               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1141 mike    1.26  
1142 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1143               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1144               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1145 mike    1.26  
1146 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1147               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1148               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1149               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1150               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1151               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1152 bob     1.20  (grb)
1153 mike    1.26  
1154 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1155               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1156               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1157 mike    1.26  
1158 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1159 mike    1.26  
1160 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1161               modifyClass,
1162 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1163 mike    1.26  
1164 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1165               directory. These
1166               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1167               CIMProviderStub has
1168 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1169 mike    1.26  
1170 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1171 mike    1.26  
1172 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1173               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1174 mike    1.26  
1175               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1176 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1177               
1178               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1179                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1180                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1181                   Need to handle deleteInstance().

1186 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1187               AssociationName
1188 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1189               pages.
1190               
1191 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1192 sage    1.31  
1193               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1194               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1195               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1196               variables.
1197 mike    1.32  
1198               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1199                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1200                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1201 kumpf   1.34  
1202               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1203                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1204                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1205                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1206                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1207                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1208                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1209 karl    1.35  
1210               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1211                   tests for stack and queue.

1275 karl    1.5   
1276 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1277               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1278               
1279 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1280               of dynamic lib loaading.

1286 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1287 karl    1.1   
1288               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1289               qualifiers, methods.
1290               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1291               methods.
1292               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1293               qualifiers and to
1294               remove qualifiers.
1295               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1296               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1297 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1298               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1299               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1300               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1301               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
