   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               
 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.
 177               
 178 kumpf   1.124 30. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Reimplement wbemexec to use a
 179                   new WbemExecClient interface based on HTTPConnection instead of the
 180                   obsolete Channel code.  Also add SSL option to wbemexec.
 181               
 182 kumpf   1.125 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Added copy constructors to the
 183                   CIMMessage subclasses.
 184               
 185 kumpf   1.126 32. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 27 Apr 2002 - Fixed several defects
 186                   in MOF compiler associated with the handling the initialization 
 187                   of array values.
 188 karl    1.127     
 189               33. (KS) 30 April 2002 - Added Namespace Control Provider. Note that it is 
 190                   not completely tested today and only enumeratenames is guaranteed.
 191

 195 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
 196               of problems with the CVS repository
 197 karl    1.93  
 198 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
 199 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
 200                  
 201 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
 202                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

 207               TAG: VERSION_1_07
 208               
 209               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
 210               
 211 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
 212 karl    1.59  
 213 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 214                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 215                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 216                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 217                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 218                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 219                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
 220               
 221                   For more information look in to the following files:
 222                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
 223                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp

 225                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
 226               
 227               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 228 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 229                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 230                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 231                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 232                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 233 karl    1.63     
 234 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 235 karl    1.62  
 236 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
 237 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
 238               
 239 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 240 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 241               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 242               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 243               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 244               
 245 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 246 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 247               will be deleted.
 248

 253 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 254                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 255                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 256                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 257                   for remote clients.
 258 karl    1.66  
 259 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 260                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 261                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 262                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 263                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 264                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 265                   values.
 266               
 267                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 268               
 269                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 270                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 271                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 272                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 273                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 274                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 275               
 276                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 277                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 278                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 279                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 280 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 281                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 282                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 283                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 284                   specified in the method definition.
 285               
 286                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 287               
 288                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 289                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 290                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 291                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 292                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 293                   correct type rather than as a String.
 294               
 295                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 296                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 297                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 298                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 299                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 300                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 301 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 302               
 303                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 304                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 305                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 306               
 307                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 308               
 309                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 310                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 311                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 312                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 313                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 314               
 315                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 316                   clean-up, which I completed.
 317               
 318                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 319               
 320                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 321                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 322 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 323                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 324                   the specified value to that property's type.
 325               
 326                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 327                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 328                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 329                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 330               
 331                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 332                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 333                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 334                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 335                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 336                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 337               
 338 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 339                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 340                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 341                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 342                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 343                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 344                   encoding of parameter values.
 345               
 346                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 347                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 348                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 349                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 350                   have defaulted to String type.

 352               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 353                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 354 karl    1.72    
 355 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 356                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 357                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 358                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 359                   the server.

 362                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 363                  
 364 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 365                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 366                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 367                   operations.
 368               
 369                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 370 karl    1.74      
 371               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 372                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 373 karl    1.76      
 374 kumpf   1.68  
 375 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 376                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 377                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 378                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 379                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 380                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 381                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 382               
 383                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 384                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 385                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 386                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 387                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 388                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 389                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 390                   a single buffer.
 391               
 392                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 393                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 394                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 395                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 396 kumpf   1.75  
 397               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 398                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 399                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 400                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 401               
 402                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 403                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 404                   validated.
 405 karl    1.76  
 406               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 407                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 408                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 409 karl    1.78      
 410 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 411                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 412               
 413                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 414                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 415                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 416                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 417               
 418                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 419               
 420                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 421               
 422                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 423               
 424                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 425               
 426                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 427                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 428                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 429                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 430                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 431 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 432                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 433                   rather than in the constructor.
 434               
 435                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 436                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 437                   included in the Pegasus build.
 438 kumpf   1.79  
 439 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 440                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 441 kumpf   1.75  
 442 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 443                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 444                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 445                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 446                   for that purpose.   
 447               
 448                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 449               
 450                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 451                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 452                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 453                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 454                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 455               
 456                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 457               
 458                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 459                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 460                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 461               
 462                     (ex.)
 463 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 464                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 465               
 466                     or use the following new macro:
 467                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 468                   
 469 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 470 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 471               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 472               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 473               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 474               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 475 ramnath 1.81  
 476               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 477               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 478               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 479               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 480               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 481               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 482               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 483               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 484 ramnath 1.80  
 485 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 486               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 487               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 488               	in the Windows service work thread.

 494               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 495                       executable. 
 496 kumpf   1.84  
 497               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 498                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 499                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 500                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 501                   an integer of the specified size.
 502               
 503 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 504                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 505               
 506 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 507                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 508                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 509                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 510               
 511 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 512                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 513 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 514 karl    1.88  	
 515               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 516                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 517                   
 518 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 519                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 520                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 521                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 522                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 523                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 524                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 525                   linked into the server.
 526 karl    1.88  
 527 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 528                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 529                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 530               
 531 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 532                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 533                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 534                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 535                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 536 karl    1.92      
 537               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 538                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 539                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 542 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 543 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 544               
 545               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 546                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 547                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 548                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 549 karl    1.53         
 550               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 551               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 552               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 553               	which is the current file based repository.
 554               	
 555               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 556               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 557               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 558               	in the future.
 559 karl    1.52  
 560 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 561                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 562                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 563                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 564                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 565                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 566               
 567 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 568 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 569                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 570                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 571                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 572                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 573               
 574 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 575 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 576                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 577                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 578                  program.
 579               
 580 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 581                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 582                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 583                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 584                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 585                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 586                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 587                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 588                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 589               
 590                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 591                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 592                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 593               
 594                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 595                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 596                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 597                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 598               
 599                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 600                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 601 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 602                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 603               
 604                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 605                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 606               
 607                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 615               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 616               
 617 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 618                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 619               
 620               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 621 mike    1.51  =======
 622               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 623               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 624               	
 625               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 626               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 627               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 628               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 629               	should not affect any current work.
 630               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 631               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 632               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 633               	
 634               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 635                       on XML output.
 636                       
 637               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 638               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 639               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 640               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 641               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 642 mike    1.51  
 643               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 644               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 645               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 646               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 647               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 648               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 649               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 650               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 651                       
 652               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 653               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 654               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 655               generating debug output.
 656               
 657               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 658               xml when it generates xml output.
 659               
 660               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 661               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 662               repository implementation.
 663 mike    1.51  
 664               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 665               
 666               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 667               
 668               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 669               
 670               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 671               
 672               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.
 673               
 674               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 675                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 676               
 677               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 678               
 679               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.
 680               
 681               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 682               
 683               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 684 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 685                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 686               
 687               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 688                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 689                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 690               
 691               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 692                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 693                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 694               
 695               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 696                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 697                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 698                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 699                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 700                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 701                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 702               
 703                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 704                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 705 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 706                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 707                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 708                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 709                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 710                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 711                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 712                   below:
 713               
 714                   //====================================================================
 715                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 716                   //====================================================================
 717                   [Description (
 718                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 719                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 720                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 721               
 722               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 723                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 724                   a provider library.
 725               
 726 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 727                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 728                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 729                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 730                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 731                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 732                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 733                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 734                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 735                   later). 
 736               
 737                   Also added are two test programs: 
 738               	
 739                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 740                       CIMParamValue class.
 741               	
 742                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 743                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 744                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 745                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 746                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 747 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 748               
 749               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 750                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 751                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 752                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 753                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 754                   and to verify the authentication.
 755               
 756                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 757                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 758                   yet linked into the build.
 759               
 760               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 761                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 762                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 763                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 764                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 765                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 766                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 767               
 768 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 769                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 770                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 771                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 772                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 773                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 774                   provider file path name.
 775               
 776               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 777                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 778                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 779                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 780                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 781                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 782                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 783                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 784               
 785               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 786                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 787                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 788                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 789 mike    1.51  
 790               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 791                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 792                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 793                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 794               
 795               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 796                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 797                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 798                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 799                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 800                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 801                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 802                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 803                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 804               
 805               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 806                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 807                   
 808               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 809               
 810 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 811                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 812                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 813                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 814                   in make files.
 815                  
 816               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 817                   because getting an error in 26
 818               
 819               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 820                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 821                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 822                   tag structure.
 823               
 824                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 825                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 826                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 827               
 828                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 829                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 830                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 831 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 832                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 833               
 834                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 835                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 836                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 837                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 838                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 839                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 840                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 841                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 842               
 843                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 844                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 845                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 846                   reference type.
 847               
 848                   In this example:
 849               
 850                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 851               
 852 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 853                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 854                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 855                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 856                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 857               
 858                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 859                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 860                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 861                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 862                   correctly.
 863               
 864                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 865                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 866               
 867                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 868                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 869                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 870                   CIMOM version.
 871               
 872                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 873 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 874                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 875                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 876                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 877                   definition to determine the key property types.
 878               
 879               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 880                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 881                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 882                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 883               
 884               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 885                   (instanceName).
 886               
 887               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 888                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 889                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 890                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 891               
 892               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 893                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 894 mike    1.51  
 895               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 896                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 897                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 898                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 899                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 900                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 901                   nsk platform links. 
 902               
 903               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 904                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 905                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 906                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 907                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 908                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 909                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 910               
 911                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 912                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 913                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 914                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 915 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 916                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 917                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 918               
 919               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 920                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 921                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 922                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 923               
 924               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 925                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 926                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 927                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 928                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 929               
 930               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 931                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 932                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 933                   be updated to use this class.
 934               
 935               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 936 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 937                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 938                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 939                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 940               
 941               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 942                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 943                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 944                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 945                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 946                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 947               
 948               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 949               
 950                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 951                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 952                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 953                         CIMNamedInstance
 954                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 955                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 956                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 957 mike    1.51  
 958                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 959               
 960                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 961                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 962                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 963                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 964                   functionality.
 965               
 966                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 967               
 968                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 969                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 970                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 971                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 972                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 973                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 974                         the entire instance.
 975               
 976                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 977                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 978 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 979               
 980                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 981                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 982                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 983               
 984                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 985                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 986               
 987               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 988                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 989                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 990                   the DMTF specification.
 991               
 992                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 993                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 994                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 995                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 996               
 997                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 998               
 999 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1000                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1001                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1002                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1003                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1004                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1005                         the entire instance.
1006               
1007                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1008                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1009                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1010                         be used to update the instance.
1011               
1012                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1013                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1014                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1015               
1016                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1017                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1018                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1019               
1020 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1021                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1022                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1023                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1024                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1025               
1026               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1027                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1028                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1029               
1030                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1031                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1032                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1033                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1034                   following command before starting cimserver:
1035               
1036                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1037               
1038                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1039                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1040                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1041 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1042                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1043                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1044                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1045               
1046               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1047                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1048                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1049               
1050               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1051                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1052                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1053                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1054                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1055               
1056                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1057                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1058                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1059                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1060                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1061                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1062 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1063               
1064               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1065                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1066               
1067                   Authentication and User Management:
1068                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1069                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1070                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1071                   generated password file. 
1072               
1073                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1074                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1075                   
1076                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1077                   management and authorization functionality.   
1078               
1079               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1080                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1081               
1082               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1083 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1084                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1085               
1086               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1087                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1088                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1089                 
1090               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1091                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1092                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1093                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1094                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1095                   or change in provider registration.  
1096               
1097               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1098                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1099                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1100                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1101               
1102               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1103                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1104 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1105                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1106                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1107                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1108                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1109                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1110                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1111                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1112                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1113                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1114                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1115 mike    1.50  
1116 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1117                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1118               
1119               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1125               
1126               1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
1127                  indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1128                  and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1129               
1130                  Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
1131                  make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
1132               
1133                  Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
1134                  SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
1135               
1136               2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
1137                  library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
1138                  are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
1139                  and SimpleThread.
1140

1160                  is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
1161                  information on running the test script.
1162               
1163 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1164                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1165                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1166               
1167               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1168                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1169                  that
1170                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1171                  password.
1172                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1173                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1174                  build.
1175                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1176                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1206                  ids to queue pointers).
1207               
1208 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1209                  and Dispatcher.
1210               
1211 karl    1.48  7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1212               and
1213                  CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1214 chip    1.44     ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.
1215 mike    1.45  
1216               8. (Mike Brasher) - Replaced dispatcher with a queue-based dispatcher.
1217               
1218               9. (Mike Brasher) - Retrofited CIMOMHandle to be queue-based.
1219               
1220 mike    1.46  10. (Mike Brasher) - Changed CIMOMHandle to carry repository pointer.
1221               
1222 mike    1.47  11. (Mike Brasher) - Ported to TRU64.
1223

1229 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1230 karl    1.16  
1231               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1232               for NT and Linux platforms.
1233 mike    1.26  
1234 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1235               5988.
1236               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1237               the DMTF.
1238 mike    1.26  
1239 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1240               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1241               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1242               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1243 mike    1.26  
1244 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1245               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1246               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1247 mike    1.26  
1248 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1249               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1250               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1251               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1252               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1253               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1254 bob     1.20  (grb)
1255 mike    1.26  
1256 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1257               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1258               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1259 mike    1.26  
1260 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1261 mike    1.26  
1262 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1263               modifyClass,
1264 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1265 mike    1.26  
1266 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1267               directory. These
1268               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1269               CIMProviderStub has
1270 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1271 mike    1.26  
1272 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1273 mike    1.26  
1274 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1275               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1276 mike    1.26  
1277               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1278 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1279               
1280               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1281                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1282                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1283                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1284                   (MEB)
1285 mike    1.26  
1286 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1287               
1288 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1289               AssociationName
1290 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1291               pages.
1292               
1293 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1294 sage    1.31  
1295               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1296               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1297               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1298               variables.
1299 mike    1.32  
1300               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1301                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1302                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1303 kumpf   1.34  
1304               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1305                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1306                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1307                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1308                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1309                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1310                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1311 karl    1.35  
1312               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1313                   tests for stack and queue.

1320 karl    1.12  1. (KS)OptionManager (CPP and H), Logger (CPP and H), Handler (CPP and H),
1321               CIMServer (both)
1322 karl    1.11  Functions added include:
1323               	a. Enable trace to log file.
1324 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1325               	is
1326 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1327               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1328 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1329               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1330 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1331               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1332 karl    1.15  2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
1333 mike    1.33  
1334 karl    1.15  3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x
1335 mike    1.33  
1336 karl    1.15  4. (KS)Extended options on CIMServer including 1. option to determine where

1345 mike    1.33  
1346 karl    1.15  7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1347               not
1348 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1349               and components of the message causing the problem.
1350 mike    1.33  
1351 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1363               2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1364               3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1365                  Handler.h to work off of flag.
1366               4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
1367               5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.
1368               6. Correct errors in documentation.

1377 karl    1.5   
1378 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1379               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1380               
1381 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1382               of dynamic lib loaading.

1389 karl    1.1   
1390               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1391               qualifiers, methods.
1392               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1393               methods.
1394               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1395               qualifiers and to
1396               remove qualifiers.
1397               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1398               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1399 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1400               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1401               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1402               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1403               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
