   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.
 101               
 102 kumpf   1.112 17. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Improved Consumer interface with 
 103                  indications. Now indications can be displayed using sample
 104                  DisplayConsumer. To test, create Handler with destination as
 105                  localhost:5988/logicalname. Create a file consumer_list.dat in your
 106                  PEGASUS_HOME directory and then ass entry as follows:
 107                  logicalname = DisplayConsumer
 108                  This will help ConsumerTable to load the DisplayConsumer to consume
 109                  the indication passed through ExportServer (CIMExportRequestDispathcer).
 110               
 111 kumpf   1.113 18. (Yi Zhou - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented sending message of provider
 112                  registration notification to subscription service.
 113

 116 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
 117 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
 118               of problems with the CVS repository
 119 karl    1.93  
 120 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
 121 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
 122                  
 123 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
 124                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

 126 karl    1.59  
 127               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
 128               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
 129               TAG: VERSION_1_07
 130               
 131               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
 132               
 133 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
 134 karl    1.59  
 135 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 136                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 137                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 138                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 139                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 140                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 141                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
 142               
 143                   For more information look in to the following files:
 144                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
 145                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp

 147                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
 148               
 149               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 150 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 151                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 152                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 153                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 154                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 155 karl    1.63     
 156 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 157 karl    1.62  
 158 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
 159 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
 160               
 161 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 162 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 163               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 164               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 165               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 166               
 167 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 168 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 169               will be deleted.
 170               
 171 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
 172               
 173               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 174 karl    1.66  
 175 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 176                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 177                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 178                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 179                   for remote clients.
 180 karl    1.66  
 181 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 182                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 183                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 184                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 185                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 186                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 187                   values.
 188               
 189                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 190               
 191                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 192                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 193                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 194                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 195                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 196                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 197               
 198                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 199                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 200                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 201                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 202 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 203                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 204                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 205                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 206                   specified in the method definition.
 207               
 208                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 209               
 210                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 211                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 212                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 213                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 214                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 215                   correct type rather than as a String.
 216               
 217                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 218                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 219                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 220                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 221                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 222                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 223 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 224               
 225                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 226                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 227                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 228               
 229                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 230               
 231                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 232                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 233                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 234                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 235                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 236               
 237                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 238                   clean-up, which I completed.
 239               
 240                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 241               
 242                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 243                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 244 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 245                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 246                   the specified value to that property's type.
 247               
 248                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 249                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 250                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 251                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 252               
 253                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 254                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 255                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 256                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 257                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 258                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 259               
 260 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 261                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 262                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 263                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 264                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 265                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 266                   encoding of parameter values.
 267               
 268                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 269                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 270                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 271                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 272                   have defaulted to String type.

 276 karl    1.72    
 277 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 278                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 279                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 280                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 281                   the server.

 285                  
 286 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 287                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 288                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 289                   operations.
 290               
 291                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 293               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 294                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 295 karl    1.76      
 296 kumpf   1.68  
 297 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 298                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 299                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 300                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 301                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 302                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 303                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 304               
 305                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 306                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 307                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 308                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 309                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 310                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 311                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 312                   a single buffer.
 313               
 314                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 315                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 316                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 317                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 318 kumpf   1.75  
 319               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 320                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 321                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 322                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 323               
 324                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 325                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 326                   validated.

 331 karl    1.78      
 332 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 333                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 334               
 335                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 336                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 337                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 338                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 339               
 340                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 341               
 342                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 343               
 344                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 345               
 346                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 347               
 348                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 349                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 350                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 351                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 352                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 353 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 354                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 355                   rather than in the constructor.
 356               
 357                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 358                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 359                   included in the Pegasus build.

 361 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 362                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 363 kumpf   1.75  
 364 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 365                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 366                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 367                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 368                   for that purpose.   
 369               
 370                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 371               
 372                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 373                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 374                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 375                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 376                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 377               
 378                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 379               
 380                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 381                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 382                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 383               
 384                     (ex.)
 385 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 386                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 387               
 388                     or use the following new macro:
 389                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 390                   
 391 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 392 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 393               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 394               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 395               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 396               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 397 ramnath 1.81  
 398               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 399               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 400               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 401               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 402               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 403               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 404               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 405               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 406 ramnath 1.80  
 407 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 408               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 409               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 410               	in the Windows service work thread.

 412 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 413                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 414               	executable
 415                      
 416               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 417                       executable. 
 418 kumpf   1.84  
 419               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 420                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 421                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 422                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 423                   an integer of the specified size.
 424               
 425 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 426                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 427               
 428 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 429                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 430                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 431                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 432               
 433 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 434                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 435 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 436 karl    1.88  	
 437               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 438                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 439                   
 440 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 441                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 442                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 443                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 444                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 445                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 446                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 447                   linked into the server.

 449 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 450                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 451                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 452               
 453 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 454                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 455                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 456                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 457                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 458 karl    1.92      
 459               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 460                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 461                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 464 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 465 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 466               
 467               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 468                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 469                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 470                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 471 karl    1.53         
 472               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 473               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 474               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 475               	which is the current file based repository.
 476               	
 477               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 478               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 479               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 480               	in the future.
 481 karl    1.52  
 482 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 483                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 484                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 485                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 486                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 487                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 488               
 489 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 490 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 491                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 492                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 493                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 494                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 495               
 496 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 497 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 498                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 499                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 500                  program.
 501               
 502 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 503                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 504                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 505                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 506                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 507                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 508                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 509                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 510                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 511               
 512                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 513                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 514                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 515               
 516                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 517                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 518                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 519                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 520               
 521                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 522                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 523 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 524                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 525               
 526                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 527                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 528               
 529                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 537               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 538               
 539 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 540                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 541               
 542               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 543 mike    1.51  =======
 544               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 545               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 546               	
 547               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 548               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 549               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 550               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 551               	should not affect any current work.
 552               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 553               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 554               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 555               	
 556               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 557                       on XML output.
 558                       
 559               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 560               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 561               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 562               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 563               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 564 mike    1.51  
 565               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 566               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 567               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 568               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 569               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 570               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 571               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 572               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 573                       
 574               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 575               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 576               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 577               generating debug output.
 578               
 579               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 580               xml when it generates xml output.
 581               
 582               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 583               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 584               repository implementation.
 585 mike    1.51  
 586               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 587               
 588               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 589               
 590               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 591               
 592               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 593               
 594               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.
 595               
 596               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 597                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 598               
 599               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 600               
 601               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.
 602               
 603               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 604               
 605               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 606 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 607                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 608               
 609               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 610                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 611                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 612               
 613               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 614                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 615                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 616               
 617               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 618                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 619                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 620                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 621                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 622                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 623                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 624               
 625                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 626                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 627 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 628                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 629                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 630                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 631                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 632                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 633                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 634                   below:
 635               
 636                   //====================================================================
 637                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 638                   //====================================================================
 639                   [Description (
 640                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 641                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 642                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 643               
 644               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 645                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 646                   a provider library.
 647               
 648 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 649                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 650                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 651                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 652                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 653                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 654                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 655                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 656                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 657                   later). 
 658               
 659                   Also added are two test programs: 
 660               	
 661                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 662                       CIMParamValue class.
 663               	
 664                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 665                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 666                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 667                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 668                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 669 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 670               
 671               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 672                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 673                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 674                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 675                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 676                   and to verify the authentication.
 677               
 678                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 679                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 680                   yet linked into the build.
 681               
 682               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 683                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 684                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 685                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 686                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 687                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 688                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 689               
 690 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 691                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 692                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 693                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 694                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 695                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 696                   provider file path name.
 697               
 698               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 699                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 700                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 701                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 702                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 703                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 704                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 705                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 706               
 707               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 708                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 709                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 710                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 711 mike    1.51  
 712               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 713                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 714                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 715                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 716               
 717               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 718                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 719                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 720                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 721                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 722                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 723                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 724                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 725                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 726               
 727               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 728                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 729                   
 730               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 731               
 732 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 733                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 734                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 735                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 736                   in make files.
 737                  
 738               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 739                   because getting an error in 26
 740               
 741               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 742                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 743                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 744                   tag structure.
 745               
 746                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 747                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 748                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 749               
 750                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 751                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 752                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 753 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 754                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 755               
 756                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 757                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 758                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 759                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 760                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 761                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 762                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 763                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 764               
 765                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 766                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 767                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 768                   reference type.
 769               
 770                   In this example:
 771               
 772                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 773               
 774 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 775                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 776                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 777                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 778                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 779               
 780                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 781                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 782                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 783                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 784                   correctly.
 785               
 786                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 787                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 788               
 789                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 790                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 791                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 792                   CIMOM version.
 793               
 794                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 795 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 796                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 797                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 798                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 799                   definition to determine the key property types.
 800               
 801               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 802                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 803                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 804                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 805               
 806               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 807                   (instanceName).
 808               
 809               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 810                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 811                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 812                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 813               
 814               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 815                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 816 mike    1.51  
 817               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 818                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 819                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 820                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 821                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 822                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 823                   nsk platform links. 
 824               
 825               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 826                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 827                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 828                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 829                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 830                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 831                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 832               
 833                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 834                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 835                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 836                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 837 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 838                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 839                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 840               
 841               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 842                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 843                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 844                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 845               
 846               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 847                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 848                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 849                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 850                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 851               
 852               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 853                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 854                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 855                   be updated to use this class.
 856               
 857               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 858 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 859                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 860                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 861                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 862               
 863               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 864                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 865                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 866                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 867                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 868                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 869               
 870               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 871               
 872                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 873                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 874                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 875                         CIMNamedInstance
 876                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 877                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 878                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 879 mike    1.51  
 880                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 881               
 882                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 883                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 884                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 885                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 886                   functionality.
 887               
 888                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 889               
 890                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 891                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 892                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 893                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 894                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 895                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 896                         the entire instance.
 897               
 898                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 899                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 900 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 901               
 902                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 903                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 904                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 905               
 906                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 907                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 908               
 909               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 910                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 911                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 912                   the DMTF specification.
 913               
 914                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 915                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 916                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 917                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 918               
 919                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 920               
 921 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 922                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 923                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 924                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 925                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 926                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 927                         the entire instance.
 928               
 929                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 930                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 931                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 932                         be used to update the instance.
 933               
 934                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 935                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 936                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 937               
 938                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 939                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 940                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 941               
 942 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 943                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 944                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 945                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 946                   without the standard (std) namespace.
 947               
 948               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 949                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 950                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 951               
 952                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 953                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 954                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 955                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 956                   following command before starting cimserver:
 957               
 958                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 959               
 960                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 961                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 962                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 963 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 964                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 965                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 966                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 967               
 968               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 969                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 970                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 971               
 972               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 973                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 974                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 975                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 976                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 977               
 978                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 979                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 980                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 981                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 982                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 983                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 984 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 985               
 986               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 987                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 988               
 989                   Authentication and User Management:
 990                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 991                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 992                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 993                   generated password file. 
 994               
 995                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 996                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 997                   
 998                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 999                   management and authorization functionality.   
1000               
1001               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1002                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1003               
1004               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1005 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1006                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1007               
1008               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1009                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1010                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1011                 
1012               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1013                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1014                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1015                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1016                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1017                   or change in provider registration.  
1018               
1019               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1020                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1021                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1022                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1023               
1024               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1025                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1026 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1027                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1028                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1029                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1030                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1031                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1032                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1033                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1034                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1035                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1036                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1037 mike    1.50  
1038 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1039                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1040               
1041               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1085 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1086                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1087                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1088               
1089               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1090                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1091                  that
1092                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1093                  password.

1095                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1096                  build.
1097                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1098                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1114               
1115 kumpf   1.39  2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes
1116                  in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names.
1117               
1118 mike    1.41  3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes.
1119               
1120               4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.
1121               
1122 kumpf   1.40  3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
1123                  allow slp to compile.
1124               
1125 mike    1.42  4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
1126               
1127               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1128                  ids to queue pointers).
1129               
1130 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1131                  and Dispatcher.
1132               
1133 karl    1.48  7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1134               and
1135                  CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1136 chip    1.44     ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

1151 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1152 karl    1.16  
1153               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1154               for NT and Linux platforms.
1155 mike    1.26  
1156 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1157               5988.
1158               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1159               the DMTF.
1160 mike    1.26  
1161 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1162               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1163               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1164               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1165 mike    1.26  
1166 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1167               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1168               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1169 mike    1.26  
1170 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1171               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1172               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1173               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1174               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1175               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1176 bob     1.20  (grb)
1177 mike    1.26  
1178 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1179               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1180               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1181 mike    1.26  
1182 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1183 mike    1.26  
1184 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1185               modifyClass,
1186 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1187 mike    1.26  
1188 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1189               directory. These
1190               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1191               CIMProviderStub has
1192 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1193 mike    1.26  
1194 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1195 mike    1.26  
1196 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1197               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1198 mike    1.26  
1199               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1200 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1201               
1202               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1203                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1204                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1205                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1206                   (MEB)
1207 mike    1.26  
1208 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1209               
1210 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1211               AssociationName
1212 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1213               pages.
1214               
1215 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1216 sage    1.31  
1217               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1218               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1219               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1220               variables.
1221 mike    1.32  
1222               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1223                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1224                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1225 kumpf   1.34  
1226               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1227                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1228                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1229                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1230                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1231                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1232                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1233 karl    1.35  
1234               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1235                   tests for stack and queue.

1246 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1247               	is
1248 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1249               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1250 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1251               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1252 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1253               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1254 karl    1.15  2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
1255 mike    1.33  
1256 karl    1.15  3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x
1257 mike    1.33  
1258 karl    1.15  4. (KS)Extended options on CIMServer including 1. option to determine where
1259               logs

1267 mike    1.33  
1268 karl    1.15  7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1269               not
1270 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1271               and components of the message causing the problem.
1272 mike    1.33  
1273 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1299 karl    1.5   
1300 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1301               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1302               
1303 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1304               of dynamic lib loaading.

1310 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1311 karl    1.1   
1312               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1313               qualifiers, methods.
1314               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1315               methods.
1316               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1317               qualifiers and to
1318               remove qualifiers.
1319               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1320               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1321 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1322               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1323               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1324               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1325               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
