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
|
114 kumpf 1.114 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 Apr 2002 - Defined an exception hierarchy for
115 CIMClient API users. All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now
116 subclasses of CIMClientException. The CIMClient methods are defined
117 as throwing CIMClientException, which will allow the actual exceptions
118 thrown to change without changing the method signatures. It also makes
119 it more clear to the client application which exceptions need to be
120 handled.
121
122 A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well.
123 This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM
124 operation response decoder to the CIMClient. Previously, several
125 classes of exceptions were being dropped in the decoder. New
126 CIMClientException subclasses have been defined to model these
127 exceptions. These changes allow decoding exceptions to be passed
128 back to the client application. Examples are unparsable HTTP
129 responses, malformed XML, and mismatched CIM responses (message ID,
130 message type).
131
132 The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been
133 updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.
|
134 karl 1.115
|
135 kumpf 1.118 20. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 -Incorporated tomof client into the build. Includes
|
136 karl 1.115 usage and help.
137 This program outputs mof or xml from repository either as a client
138 or direct to the repository.
139
|
140 kumpf 1.118 21. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 - Changed all FIXME, etc. in compiler to ATTN with
|
141 karl 1.115 priorities.
|
142 kumpf 1.114
|
143 kumpf 1.118 22. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - Associator provider handling
|
144 sage 1.116
|
145 kumpf 1.118 23. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - HiRes pegasus_gettimeofday() for Windows needed
|
146 sage 1.117 for performance statistics.
|
147 kumpf 1.118
148 24. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Apr 2002 - Removed the "match" code in the
149 String class which had a dependency on the TCL license. Where this
150 code was being used to match HTTP headers, I replaced the call to
151 String::matchNoCase() with specific logic to check for the namespace
152 in an HTTP extension header. For example, if the allowNamespacePrefix
153 argument is true and the search tag is "Tag", HTTPMessage::lookupHeader
154 will match "Tag" and "45-Tag", but not "abcTag". This behavior more
155 closely models the intent of the String match in this case and is
156 therefore more correct.
|
157 sage 1.117
|
158 kumpf 1.119 25. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 20 Apr 2002 - Added an instance of
159 PegasusVersion.h to each product component. This was done
160 to support component level version tracking.
161
|
162 sage 1.120 26. (MM) 22 Apr 2002 - Performance Measurement Implementation
163
|
164 kumpf 1.121 27. (Susan Campbell - HP) 22 Apr 2002 - Various enhancements and bug fixes
165 to the Managed System OS provider. Rolled in the Linux support from
166 the Linux-specific OS provider and added properties to the HP-UX and
167 Windows OS providers.
168
|
169 kumpf 1.122 28. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Overhauled the configuration property
170 "unset" functionality. cimconfig now uses modifyInstance with a
171 property list to specify whether the current or planned value (or both)
172 are to be updated. It uses a "null" value to indicate that the value
173 should be unset (reset to default).
174
|
175 kumpf 1.123 29. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Restructured the configuration
176 property owners to remove redundant code.

181 karl 1.94 TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
182 of problems with the CVS repository
|
183 karl 1.93
|
184 karl 1.95 1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
|
185 karl 1.93 Tagged CVS 1_08.
186
|
187 karl 1.94 2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass,
188 qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

190 karl 1.59
191 Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
192 Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
193 TAG: VERSION_1_07
194
195 1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07 and tagged file.
196
|
197 sage 1.60 2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
|
198 karl 1.59
|
199 kumpf 1.67 3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
200 class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
201 location, Provider location and Consumer location.
202 The default location for these properties continue to be the same
203 as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
204 Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
205 return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
206
207 For more information look in to the following files:
208 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
209 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
210 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
211 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
212
213 4. KS - 18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
|
214 karl 1.62 This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
215 reset when a value is "set" or copied into them. the XML and MOF
216 also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
217 There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
218 the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
|
219 karl 1.63
|
220 kumpf 1.67 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
|
221 karl 1.62
|
222 kumpf 1.67 6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
|
223 karl 1.64 Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
224
|
225 kumpf 1.67 7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to
|
226 kumpf 1.65 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal()
227 method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system
228 configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use
229 modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
230
|
231 kumpf 1.67 8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
|
232 karl 1.66 schema directory. The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
233 will be deleted.
234
|
235 kumpf 1.67 9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
236
237 10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
|
238 karl 1.66
|
239 kumpf 1.67 11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
240 checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
241 Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
242 This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
243 for remote clients.
|
244 karl 1.66
|
245 kumpf 1.68 12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
246 method (InvokeMethod) operations. This change involves the addition
247 of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags. This tag
248 allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
249 having to look up the method definition in the schema. It also allows
250 the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
251 values.
252
253 PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
254
255 Method providers ARE affected by this change. Previously, all input
256 parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
257 regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
258 was defined. With this change, providers will now receive input
259 parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
260 application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
261
262 However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
263 API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute. In this case, the operation
264 processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
265 and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
266 kumpf 1.68 The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
267 XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
268 will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
269 specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
270 specified in the method definition.
271
272 CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
273
274 Clients ARE affected by this change. Any output parameters that are
275 returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
276 attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
277 sent by the server. Previously, they would have always been of
278 String type. In addition, the return value will be received as the
279 correct type rather than as a String.
280
281 Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
282 PARAMTYPE attribute. In this case, the client will see a
283 CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
284 String. Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
285 PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type. These return
286 values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
287 kumpf 1.68 because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
288
289 This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
290 Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
291 implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
292
293 SIDE EFFECTS:
294
295 In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
296 that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
297 CIMReferences. This appeared to be an oversight, since method
298 parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences. I've
299 added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
300
301 I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
302 clean-up, which I completed.
303
304 SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
305
306 A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
307 "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
308 kumpf 1.68 (currently dispatcher). This is achieved by looking up the
309 relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
310 the specified value to that property's type.
311
312 The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
313 inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
314 extra processing. However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
315 ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
316
317 The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
318 information. Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
319 always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
320 against any server (Pegasus or not). Clients that require properties
321 to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
322 a property list) rather than GetProperty.
323
|
324 kumpf 1.69 13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
325 Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
326 class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
327 This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
328 and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
329 The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
330 encoding of parameter values.
331
332 An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
333 behavior outlined in item 12 above. Clients should use the isTyped()
334 method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
335 InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
336 have defaulted to String type.

337 karl 1.70
338 14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
339 Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
|
340 karl 1.72
|
341 kumpf 1.71 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept
342 username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new
343 method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server
344 and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from
345 the server.
|
346 karl 1.72
347 16 (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
348 all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
349
|
350 kumpf 1.73 17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager
351 to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and
352 indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
353 operations.
354
355 Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
|
356 karl 1.74
357 18 (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
358 definition of CIMFlavors.
|
359 karl 1.76
|
360 kumpf 1.68
|
361 kumpf 1.75 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
362 eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
363 nested method call structure. Now, instead of having a method at
364 each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
365 are separate methods to add the begin and end tags. At the top
366 level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
367 "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
368
369 The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
370 payload and then again when the HTTP header is added. (Since the
371 HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
372 constructed until the payload is complete.) It is possible to
373 remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
374 changes elsewhere in the code. For example, the HTTPMessage class
375 would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
376 a single buffer.
377
378 Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup. Much of the XML
379 formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter. Also,
380 error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
381 various encoders and decoders, etc.
382 kumpf 1.75
383 20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
384 CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
385 that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
386 with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
387
388 Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
389 CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
390 validated.
|
391 karl 1.76
392 21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
393 qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
394 Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
|
395 karl 1.78
|
396 kumpf 1.77 22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
397 Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
398
399 Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
400 HTTPConnector* connector;
401 connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
402 Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000; // optional
403
404 CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
405
406 With this change, the client application now looks like:
407
408 Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000; // optional
409
410 CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
411
412 The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
413 constructor. It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
414 connection rather than of the client API. So instead of adding an SSL
415 context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
416 connect() method. There are now forms of the connect() method with and
417 kumpf 1.77 without an SSL context. Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
418 class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
419 rather than in the constructor.
420
421 NOTE: Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
422 change. I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
423 included in the Pegasus build.
|
424 kumpf 1.79
|
425 karl 1.78 23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
426 of fixed length arrays to be lost.
|
427 kumpf 1.75
|
428 kumpf 1.79 24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
429 include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
430 However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the
431 CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
432 for that purpose.
433
434 A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
435
436 - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
437 A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
438 as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
439 trace file. This message will include the source filename and the
440 line number of the CIMException originator.
441
442 Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
443
444 - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
445 A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
446 input and writes the String to the trace file.
447
448 (ex.)
449 kumpf 1.79 You can issue the following method call:
450 Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
451
452 or use the following new macro:
453 PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");

455 ramnath 1.81 25. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
|
456 ramnath 1.80 several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Added
457 one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in
458 the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
459 This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first
460 operator to be "OR"ed.
|
461 ramnath 1.81
462 26. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that
463 Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
464 of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and
465 PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file
466 streams. Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
467 fstream object. Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef
468 block detecting a build on Tru64 was used. Added cstdarg and ctime in
469 pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.

470 ramnath 1.80
|
471 mary 1.82 27. (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
472 again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could
473 not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly
474 in the Windows service work thread.
475
|
476 karl 1.83 28. (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
477 local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof)
478 executable
479
480 29. (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
481 executable.
|
482 kumpf 1.84
483 30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
484 Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp. Previously, values that were out of
485 range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size. An
486 exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
487 an integer of the specified size.
488
|
489 kumpf 1.85 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
490 in XmlReader.cpp.
491
|
492 kumpf 1.86 32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic
493 Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication
494 releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified
495 the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
496
|
497 karl 1.88 33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
498 with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
|
499 ramnath 1.87 InstanceDataFile.cpp
|
500 karl 1.88
501 34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
502 enabled the scope and flavors testing. Had been pretty much blocked before.
503
|
504 kumpf 1.89 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
505 request messages to provider API calls. Cleaned up the dispatcher and
506 added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
507 ModuleController. Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
508 ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
509 providers working. Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
510 Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
511 linked into the server.
|
512 karl 1.88
|
513 kumpf 1.90 36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
514 the ModuleController as a control provider. Moved the UserAuthProvider
515 from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
516
|
517 kumpf 1.91 37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
518 ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
519 provider. Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
520 ControlProviders directory. Obsoleted and removed the
521 Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
|
522 karl 1.92
523 38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
524 extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
525 use. This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

|
529 karl 1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
530
531 1. Merged back to Main branch. All general development will be in main branch
532 in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
533 may temporarily be in side branches.
534 Changed cimversion to 1.06. We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
|
535 karl 1.53
536 2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository
537 implementations will be kept to separate them from the
538 repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
539 which is the current file based repository.
540
541 Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
542 to remove an existing repository. It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
543 command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
544 in the future.

545 karl 1.52
|
546 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
547 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
548 present. If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
549 exception is thrown. Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
550 intrinsic methods. If a parameter is specified more than once, a
551 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
552
|
553 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
|
554 kumpf 1.55 and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
555 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
556 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
557 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
558 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
559
|
560 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it
|
561 mary 1.56 runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running
562 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver
563 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient
564 program.
565
|
566 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription,
567 CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
568 in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
569 CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
570 CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
571 CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
572 CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
573 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
574 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
575
576 This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
577 CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from
578 IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear.
579
580 IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
581 when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
582 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
583 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
584
585 I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
586 and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
587 kumpf 1.58 old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a
588 plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
589
590 There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create
591 Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
592
593 Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

601 Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
602
|
603 mike 1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
604 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
605
606 2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
|
607 mike 1.51 =======
608 1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
609 seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
610
611 2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
612 to the final version in Schemas\CIM25. This included minor
613 corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
614 official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF. This change
615 should not affect any current work.
616 3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
617 directorys. Note however that today the make repository still
618 loads the 2.5 schema.
619
620 4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
621 on XML output.
622
623 5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
624 in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
625 RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp). aCC scopes variable
626 declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
627 "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
628 mike 1.51
629 6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove
630 dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the
631 cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files
632 and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that
633 were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config
634 provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified
635 provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI
636 to show user friendly error/status messages.
637
638 7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI
639 (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).
640 Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in
641 generating debug output.
642
643 8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
644 xml when it generates xml output.
645
646 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
647 a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
648 repository implementation.
649 mike 1.51
650 10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
651
652 11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
653
654 12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
655
656 13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
657
658 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.
659
660 15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
661 CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
662
663 16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
664
665 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.
666
667 18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
668
669 19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
670 mike 1.51 interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
671 a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
672
673 20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
674 CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML
675 input and output can be written in a trace file.
676
677 21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
678 Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
679 deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
680
681 22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
682 ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
683 consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
684 indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
685 implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
686 RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
687 are modified to implement above messages.
688
689 XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
690 operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
691 mike 1.51 instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
692 indication to consumer. This program needs
693 src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof
694 and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
695 in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
696 program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
697 modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
698 below:
699
700 //====================================================================
701 // CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
702 //====================================================================
703 [Description (
704 "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
705 "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
706 "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
707
708 23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
709 ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
710 a provider library.
711
712 mike 1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
713 interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
714 type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
715 information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
716 to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
717 parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
718 call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
719 travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
720 CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
721 later).
722
723 Also added are two test programs:
724
725 src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
726 CIMParamValue class.
727
728 src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
729 InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
730 implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
731 and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
732 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
733 mike 1.51 which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
734
735 25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
736 authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
737 and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
738 module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
739 interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
740 and to verify the authentication.
741
742 A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
743 This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
744 yet linked into the build.
745
746 26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
747 Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
748 before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
749 request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
750 New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
751 appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
752 _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
753
754 mike 1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
755 fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
756 providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
757 construction (appending .sl or .so) from
758 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
759 ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
760 provider file path name.
761
762 28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
763 Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
764 definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
765 structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
766 Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
767 agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
768 Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
769 implement specific trap delivery mechanism.
770
771 29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
772 be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
773 property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
774 plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
775 mike 1.51
776 30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer
777 to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
778 string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface.
779 Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
780
781 31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
782 NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
783 were added: platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
784 library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak,
785 program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
786 all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
787 only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
788 library.mak were changed to include the NSK files.
789 File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
790
791 32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
792 commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
793
794 33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
795
796 mike 1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
797 pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
798 the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
799 leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
800 in make files.
801
802 35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25
803 because getting an error in 26
804
805 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
806 whose types are references. These reference values must be
807 treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
808 tag structure.
809
810 Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
811 For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
812 type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
813
814 I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
815 CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
816 XML in the proper format. However, making that change required
817 mike 1.51 that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
818 of String type and a key of reference type.
819
820 I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
821 allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
822 reference type. The "official" form uses the same encoding for
823 key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
824 would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
825 the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
826 key values. This is clearly too inefficient for internal
827 transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
828
829 The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
830 for a key of reference type (before the opening '"'). This allows
831 the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
832 reference type.
833
834 In this example:
835
836 MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
837
838 mike 1.51 Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
839 the usual encoding. Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
840 is inserted before its encoded value. Note that this algorithm is
841 recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
842 which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
843
844 The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry. A new
845 KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
846 CIMReference that are of reference type. This KeyBinding type must
847 be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
848 correctly.
849
850 The files that have been modified to make this change are
851 CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
852
853 A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
854 repository will include this extra 'R' character. Thus, you will
855 need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
856 CIMOM version.
857
858 Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
859 mike 1.51 names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
860 instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
861 therefore unacceptable. It is likely that these points will need
862 to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
863 definition to determine the key property types.
864
865 36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components
866 in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
867 init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with
868 cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
869
870 37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference
871 (instanceName).
872
873 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
874 GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
875 Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
876 relevant intrinsic methods.
877
878 39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
879 ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
880 mike 1.51
881 40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
882 files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
883 TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
884 IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
885 SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
886 (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
887 nsk platform links.
888
889 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
890 toString() method for CIMValues of String type. The old behavior
891 returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
892 replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents. For example, a CIMValue of a"b
893 would be returned as a"b. The new behavior just returns the
894 String value directly with no translation. (Note that
895 CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
896
897 This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
898 repository. CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
899 CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
900 CIMValue.toString(). GetInstance searches for the instance name
901 mike 1.51 without UTF-8 encoding of special characters. For GetInstance to
902 be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
903 in that same form, without special character encoding.
904
905 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
906 the CIMValue class. Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
907 often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
908 Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
909
910 43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function
911 localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class
912 to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the
913 CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>.
914 Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
915
916 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
917 to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
918 from EnumerateInstances. The client and provider APIs need to
919 be updated to use this class.
920
921 45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line
922 mike 1.51 source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing
923 of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider
924 functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function
925 String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
926
927 46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
928 the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
929 the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
930 Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
931 responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
932 supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
933
934 47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
935
936 - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
937 to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
938 - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
939 CIMNamedInstance
940 - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
941 - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
942 CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
943 mike 1.51
944 Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
945
946 These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
947 API. For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
948 differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
949 However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
950 functionality.
951
952 When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
953
954 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
955 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the
956 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
957 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by
958 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
959 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
960 the entire instance.
961
962 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
963 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive
964 mike 1.51 these instance names, as the standard dictates.
965
966 - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
967 PropertyList instead of an Array<String>. This change allows
968 providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
969
970 Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
971 ModifyInstance correctly.
972
973 48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
974 provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
975 ModifyInstance operations. These changes were made to comply with
976 the DMTF specification.
977
978 The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
979 plans to do so. Providers written to the original API will
980 continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
981 to take advantage of the features that have been added.
982
983 The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
984
985 mike 1.51 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
986 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the
987 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
988 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by
989 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
990 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
991 the entire instance.
992
993 - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
994 which they are required to respect. If IncludeQualifiers is
995 false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
996 be used to update the instance.
997
998 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
999 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive
1000 these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1001
1002 The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1003 However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1004 a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1005
1006 mike 1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1007 files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1008 the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1009 platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1010 without the standard (std) namespace.
1011
1012 50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1013 properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1014 repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1015
1016 Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1017 default provider for instance (and association) operations. The default
1018 setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed. To
1019 disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1020 following command before starting cimserver:
1021
1022 cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1023
1024 The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1025 provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1026 provider. This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1027 mike 1.51 instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1028 to "false". The default value is "repository". To register the
1029 repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1030 'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1031
1032 51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1033 pass to providers that act as services. This handle provides
1034 service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1035
1036 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1037 the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1038 PropertyList parameters. Updated SetProperty in the repository
1039 so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly. The repository now
1040 supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1041
1042 Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1043 Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1044 ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider. Providers
1045 written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1046 ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1047 operations. Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1048 mike 1.51 work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1049
1050 53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1051 Security components for authentication and authorization.
1052
1053 Authentication and User Management:
1054 cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1055 and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1056 in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd
1057 generated password file.
1058
1059 cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1060 to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1061
1062 User Manager and User Manager Provider components implement the user
1063 management and authorization functionality.
1064
1065 54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1066 under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1067
1068 55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1069 mike 1.51 which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1070 It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1071
1072 56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1073 and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1074 NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1075
1076 57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1077 subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the
1078 CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler
1079 classes (from CIM_Events27.mof). The service also takes appropriate action
1080 in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider,
1081 or change in provider registration.
1082
1083 58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1084 and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1085 For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper
1086 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1087
1088 59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1089 It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1090 mike 1.51 in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1091 constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1092 structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1093 MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1094 between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1095 is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1096 How to use it in a Server or Client:
1097 1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1098 2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1099 SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1100 without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
|
1101 mike 1.50
|
1102 mike 1.51 The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1103 cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1104
1105 60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1113 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1114 and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1115
1116 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
1117 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
1118
1119 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
1120 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
1121
1122 2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
1123 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
1124 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
1125 and SimpleThread.
1126
1127 3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) Implementation of wbemexec CLI. Please refer
1128 mike 1.51 to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more
1129 information on using wbemexec. A simple test script is included. Please
1130 see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for information on running
1131 the test script.

1135 and
1136 src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingUserGuide.pdf for more information on using
1137 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1138 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1139
1140 5. (Nag Boranna - HP) Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1141 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1142 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page
1143 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on
1144 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
1145 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
1146 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
1147 information on running the test script.
1148
1149 mike 1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1150 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1151 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1152
1153 7. (Bapu Patil - HP) Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1154 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1155 that
1156 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1157 password.
1158 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1159 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1160 build.
1161 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1162 modified to integrate with the framework.

|
1216 karl 1.16
1217 1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day. This includes code bothe
1218 for NT and Linux platforms.
|
1219 mike 1.26
|
1220 karl 1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1221 5988.
1222 NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1223 the DMTF.
|
1224 mike 1.26
|
1225 karl 1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1226 Fusion event. THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1227 CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF. Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1228 Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
|
1229 mike 1.26
|
1230 bob 1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1231 and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}. This is the first step in
1232 revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
|
1233 mike 1.26
|
1234 bob 1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1235 Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1236 Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1237 files instead of generating your own for a particular platform. This should
1238 prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1239 code. The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
|
1240 bob 1.20 (grb)
|
1241 mike 1.26
|
1242 bob 1.20 6. Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1243 This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1244 to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
|
1245 mike 1.26
|
1246 karl 1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
|
1247 mike 1.26
|
1248 karl 1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1249 modifyClass,
|
1250 chip 1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
|
1251 mike 1.26
|
1252 karl 1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1253 directory. These
1254 interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1255 CIMProviderStub has
|
1256 chip 1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
|
1257 mike 1.26

1258 sage 1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
|
1259 mike 1.26
|
1260 karl 1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository. To rebuild
1261 repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
|
1262 mike 1.26
1263 12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
|
1264 mike 1.27 (MEB)
1265
1266 13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1267 Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1268 Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1269 Need to handle deleteInstance().
1270 (MEB)

1276 karl 1.29 and ReferenceName functions. This included extensive update to the HTML
1277 pages.
1278
|
1279 karl 1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
|
1280 sage 1.31
1281 17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1282 ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1283 Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1284 variables.
|
1285 mike 1.32
1286 18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1287 References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1288 on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
|
1289 kumpf 1.34
1290 19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1291 changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1292 buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1293 change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1294 lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1295 and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1296 these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
|
1297 karl 1.35

|
1375 karl 1.1
1376 1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1377 qualifiers, methods.
1378 2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1379 methods.
1380 3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1381 qualifiers and to
1382 remove qualifiers.
1383 4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1384 compiler. It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
|
1385 karl 1.2 the current compiler. This version of the port produces an excessively large
1386 common module due to template bloat. That problem will be fixed in a future
1387 change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1388 by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems. The port has been tested
1389 with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
