   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 
  90 kumpf   1.110 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Feb 2002 - HP-Nag: Added PAM based user 
  91                   authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix 
  92                   platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting 
  93                   the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION." 
  94               
  95 kumpf   1.111 16. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented static methods
  96                  Uint64 getDifference(CIMDateTime, CIMDateTime), to get the difference
  97                  between two CIMDateTimes and CIMDateTime getCurrentDateTime(), to return
  98                  the current date time as CIMDateTime in the CIMDateTime class. Also added
  99                  method Boolean isInterval(), to check if the CIMDateTime object is an
 100                  interval.

 104 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
 105 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
 106               of problems with the CVS repository
 107 karl    1.93  
 108 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
 109 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
 110                  
 111 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
 112                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
 113 karl    1.93  ========================================================================
 114 karl    1.59  
 115               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
 116               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
 117               TAG: VERSION_1_07
 118               
 119               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
 120               
 121 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
 122 karl    1.59  
 123 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 124                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 125                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 126                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 127                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 128                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 129                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
 130               
 131                   For more information look in to the following files:
 132                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
 133                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
 134                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
 135                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
 136               
 137               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 138 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 139                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 140                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 141                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 142                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 143 karl    1.63     
 144 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 145 karl    1.62  
 146 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
 147 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
 148               
 149 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 150 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 151               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 152               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 153               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 154               
 155 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 156 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 157               will be deleted.
 158               
 159 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
 160               
 161               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 162 karl    1.66  
 163 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 164                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 165                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 166                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 167                   for remote clients.
 168 karl    1.66  
 169 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 170                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 171                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 172                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 173                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 174                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 175                   values.
 176               
 177                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 178               
 179                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 180                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 181                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 182                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 183                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 184                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 185               
 186                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 187                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 188                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 189                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 190 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 191                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 192                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 193                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 194                   specified in the method definition.
 195               
 196                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 197               
 198                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 199                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 200                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 201                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 202                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 203                   correct type rather than as a String.
 204               
 205                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 206                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 207                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 208                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 209                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 210                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 211 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 212               
 213                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 214                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 215                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 216               
 217                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 218               
 219                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 220                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 221                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 222                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 223                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 224               
 225                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 226                   clean-up, which I completed.
 227               
 228                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 229               
 230                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 231                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 232 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 233                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 234                   the specified value to that property's type.
 235               
 236                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 237                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 238                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 239                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 240               
 241                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 242                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 243                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 244                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 245                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 246                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 247               
 248 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 249                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 250                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 251                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 252                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 253                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 254                   encoding of parameter values.
 255               
 256                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 257                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 258                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 259                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 260                   have defaulted to String type.

 264 karl    1.72    
 265 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 266                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 267                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 268                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 269                   the server.

 273                  
 274 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 275                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 276                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 277                   operations.
 278               
 279                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 282                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 283 karl    1.76      
 284 kumpf   1.68  
 285 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 286                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 287                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 288                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 289                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 290                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 291                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 292               
 293                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 294                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 295                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 296                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 297                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 298                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 299                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 300                   a single buffer.
 301               
 302                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 303                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 304                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 305                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 306 kumpf   1.75  
 307               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 308                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 309                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 310                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 311               
 312                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 313                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 314                   validated.

 319 karl    1.78      
 320 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 321                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 322               
 323                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 324                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 325                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 326                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 327               
 328                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 329               
 330                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 331               
 332                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 333               
 334                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 335               
 336                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 337                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 338                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 339                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 340                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 341 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 342                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 343                   rather than in the constructor.
 344               
 345                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 346                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 347                   included in the Pegasus build.
 348 kumpf   1.79  
 349 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 350                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 351 kumpf   1.75  
 352 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 353                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 354                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 355                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 356                   for that purpose.   
 357               
 358                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 359               
 360                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 361                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 362                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 363                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 364                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 365               
 366                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 367               
 368                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 369                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 370                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 371               
 372                     (ex.)
 373 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 374                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 375               
 376                     or use the following new macro:
 377                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 378                   
 379 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 380 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 381               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 382               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 383               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 384               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 385 ramnath 1.81  
 386               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 387               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 388               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 389               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 390               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 391               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 392               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 393               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 394 ramnath 1.80  
 395 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 396               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 397               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 398               	in the Windows service work thread.

 400 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 401                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 402               	executable
 403                      
 404               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 405                       executable. 
 406 kumpf   1.84  
 407               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 408                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 409                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 410                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 411                   an integer of the specified size.
 412               
 413 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 414                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 415               
 416 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 417                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 418                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 419                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 420               
 421 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 422                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 423 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 424 karl    1.88  	
 425               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 426                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 427                   
 428 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 429                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 430                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 431                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 432                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 433                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 434                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 435                   linked into the server.

 437 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 438                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 439                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 440               
 441 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 442                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 443                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 444                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 445                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 446 karl    1.92      
 447               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 448                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 449                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 452 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 453 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 454               
 455               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 456                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 457                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 458                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 459 karl    1.53         
 460               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 461               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 462               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 463               	which is the current file based repository.
 464               	
 465               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 466               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 467               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 468               	in the future.
 469 karl    1.52  
 470 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 471                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 472                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 473                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 474                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 475                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 476               
 477 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 478 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 479                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 480                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 481                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 482                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 483               
 484 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 485 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 486                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 487                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 488                  program.
 489               
 490 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 491                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 492                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 493                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 494                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 495                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 496                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 497                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 498                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 499               
 500                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 501                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 502                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 503               
 504                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 505                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 506                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 507                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 508               
 509                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 510                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 511 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 512                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 513               
 514                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 515                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 516               
 517                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 525               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 526               
 527 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 528                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 529               
 530               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 531 mike    1.51  =======
 532               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 533               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 534               	
 535               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 536               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 537               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 538               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 539               	should not affect any current work.
 540               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 541               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 542               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 543               	
 544               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 545                       on XML output.
 546                       
 547               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 548               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 549               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 550               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 551               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 552 mike    1.51  
 553               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 554               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 555               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 556               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 557               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 558               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 559               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 560               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 561                       
 562               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 563               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 564               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 565               generating debug output.
 566               
 567               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 568               xml when it generates xml output.
 569               
 570               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 571               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 572               repository implementation.
 573 mike    1.51  
 574               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 575               
 576               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 577               
 578               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 579               
 580               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 581               
 582               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.
 583               
 584               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 585                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 586               
 587               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 588               
 589               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.
 590               
 591               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 592               
 593               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 594 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 595                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 596               
 597               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 598                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 599                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 600               
 601               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 602                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 603                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 604               
 605               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 606                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 607                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 608                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 609                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 610                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 611                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 612               
 613                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 614                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 615 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 616                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 617                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 618                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 619                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 620                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 621                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 622                   below:
 623               
 624                   //====================================================================
 625                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 626                   //====================================================================
 627                   [Description (
 628                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 629                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 630                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 631               
 632               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 633                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 634                   a provider library.
 635               
 636 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 637                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 638                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 639                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 640                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 641                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 642                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 643                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 644                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 645                   later). 
 646               
 647                   Also added are two test programs: 
 648               	
 649                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 650                       CIMParamValue class.
 651               	
 652                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 653                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 654                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 655                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 656                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 657 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 658               
 659               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 660                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 661                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 662                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 663                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 664                   and to verify the authentication.
 665               
 666                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 667                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 668                   yet linked into the build.
 669               
 670               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 671                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 672                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 673                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 674                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 675                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 676                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 677               
 678 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 679                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 680                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 681                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 682                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 683                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 684                   provider file path name.
 685               
 686               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 687                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 688                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 689                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 690                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 691                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 692                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 693                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 694               
 695               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 696                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 697                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 698                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 699 mike    1.51  
 700               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 701                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 702                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 703                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 704               
 705               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 706                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 707                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 708                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 709                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 710                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 711                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 712                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 713                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 714               
 715               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 716                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 717                   
 718               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 719               
 720 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 721                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 722                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 723                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 724                   in make files.
 725                  
 726               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 727                   because getting an error in 26

 729               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 730                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 731                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 732                   tag structure.
 733               
 734                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 735                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 736                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 737               
 738                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 739                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 740                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 741 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 742                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 743               
 744                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 745                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 746                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 747                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 748                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 749                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 750                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 751                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 752               
 753                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 754                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 755                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 756                   reference type.
 757               
 758                   In this example:
 759               
 760                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 761               
 762 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 763                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 764                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 765                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 766                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 767               
 768                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 769                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 770                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 771                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 772                   correctly.
 773               
 774                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 775                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 776               
 777                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 778                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 779                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 780                   CIMOM version.
 781               
 782                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 783 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 784                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 785                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 786                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 787                   definition to determine the key property types.
 788               
 789               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 790                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 791                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 792                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 793               
 794               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 795                   (instanceName).
 796               
 797               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 798                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 799                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 800                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 801               
 802               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 803                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 804 mike    1.51  
 805               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 806                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 807                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 808                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 809                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 810                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 811                   nsk platform links. 
 812               
 813               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 814                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 815                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 816                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 817                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 818                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 819                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 820               
 821                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 822                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 823                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 824                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 825 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 826                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 827                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 828               
 829               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 830                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 831                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 832                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 833               
 834               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 835                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 836                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 837                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 838                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 839               
 840               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 841                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 842                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 843                   be updated to use this class.
 844               
 845               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 846 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 847                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 848                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 849                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 850               
 851               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 852                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 853                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 854                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 855                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 856                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 857               
 858               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 859               
 860                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 861                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 862                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 863                         CIMNamedInstance
 864                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 865                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 866                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 867 mike    1.51  
 868                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 869               
 870                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 871                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 872                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 873                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 874                   functionality.
 875               
 876                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 877               
 878                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 879                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 880                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 881                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 882                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 883                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 884                         the entire instance.
 885               
 886                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 887                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 888 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 889               
 890                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 891                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 892                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 893               
 894                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 895                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 896               
 897               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 898                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 899                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 900                   the DMTF specification.
 901               
 902                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 903                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 904                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 905                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 906               
 907                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 908               
 909 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 910                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 911                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 912                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 913                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 914                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 915                         the entire instance.
 916               
 917                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 918                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 919                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 920                         be used to update the instance.
 921               
 922                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 923                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 924                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 925               
 926                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 927                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 928                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 929               
 930 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 931                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 932                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 933                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 934                   without the standard (std) namespace.
 935               
 936               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 937                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 938                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 939               
 940                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 941                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 942                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 943                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 944                   following command before starting cimserver:
 945               
 946                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 947               
 948                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 949                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 950                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 951 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 952                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 953                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 954                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 955               
 956               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 957                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 958                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 959               
 960               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 961                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 962                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 963                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 964                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 965               
 966                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 967                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 968                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 969                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 970                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 971                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 972 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 973               
 974               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 975                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 976               
 977                   Authentication and User Management:
 978                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 979                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 980                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 981                   generated password file. 
 982               
 983                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 984                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 985                   
 986                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 987                   management and authorization functionality.   
 988               
 989               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 990                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 991               
 992               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 993 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 994                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 995               
 996               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 997                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 998                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 999                 
1000               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1001                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1002                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1003                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1004                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1005                   or change in provider registration.  
1006               
1007               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1008                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1009                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1010                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1011               
1012               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1013                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1014 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1015                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1016                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1017                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1018                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1019                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1020                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1021                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1022                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1023                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1024                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1025 mike    1.50  
1026 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1027                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1028               
1029               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1074                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1075                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1076               
1077               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1078                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1079                  that
1080                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1081                  password.

1114               
1115               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1116                  ids to queue pointers).
1117               
1118 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1119                  and Dispatcher.
1120               
1121 karl    1.48  7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1122               and
1123                  CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1124 chip    1.44     ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

1139 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1140 karl    1.16  
1141               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1142               for NT and Linux platforms.
1143 mike    1.26  
1144 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1145               5988.
1146               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1147               the DMTF.
1148 mike    1.26  
1149 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1150               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1151               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1152               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1153 mike    1.26  
1154 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1155               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1156               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1157 mike    1.26  
1158 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1159               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1160               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1161               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1162               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1163               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1164 bob     1.20  (grb)
1165 mike    1.26  
1166 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1167               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1168               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1169 mike    1.26  
1170 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1171 mike    1.26  
1172 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1173               modifyClass,
1174 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1175 mike    1.26  
1176 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1177               directory. These
1178               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1179               CIMProviderStub has
1180 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1181 mike    1.26  
1182 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1183 mike    1.26  
1184 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1185               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1186 mike    1.26  
1187               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1188 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1189               
1190               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1191                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1192                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1193                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1194                   (MEB)
1195 mike    1.26  
1196 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1197               
1198 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1199               AssociationName
1200 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1201               pages.
1202               
1203 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1204 sage    1.31  
1205               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1206               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1207               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1208               variables.
1209 mike    1.32  
1210               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1211                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1212                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1213 kumpf   1.34  
1214               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1215                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1216                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1217                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1218                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1219                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1220                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1221 karl    1.35  
1222               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1223                   tests for stack and queue.

1287 karl    1.5   
1288 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1289               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1290               
1291 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1292               of dynamic lib loaading.

1298 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1299 karl    1.1   
1300               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1301               qualifiers, methods.
1302               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1303               methods.
1304               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1305               qualifiers and to
1306               remove qualifiers.
1307               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1308               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1309 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1310               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1311               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1312               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1313               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
