   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                   
 192 kumpf   1.128 34. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 6 May 2002 - Reworked the String class.  Fixed the
 193                   places where StrLen() was reading off the end of arrays.  Removed the
 194                   Cat() functions.  Moved Open(), OpenAppend(), and GetLine() functions
 195                   to the FileSystem module.  Removed the EmptyStringArray() method.
 196                   Moved method implementations from header file to source file.  Marked
 197                   the _CString class for internal use only.
 198

 201 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
 202 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
 203               of problems with the CVS repository
 204 karl    1.93  
 205 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
 206 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
 207                  
 208 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
 209                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

 212               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
 213               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
 214               TAG: VERSION_1_07
 215               
 216               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
 217               
 218 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
 219 karl    1.59  
 220 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 221                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 222                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 223                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 224                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 225                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 226                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
 227               
 228                   For more information look in to the following files:
 229                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
 230                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp

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

 261                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 262                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 263                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 264                   for remote clients.
 265 karl    1.66  
 266 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 267                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 268                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 269                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 270                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 271                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 272                   values.
 273               
 274                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 275               
 276                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 277                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 278                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 279                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 280                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 281                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 282               
 283                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 284                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 285                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 286                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 287 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 288                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 289                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 290                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 291                   specified in the method definition.
 292               
 293                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 294               
 295                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 296                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 297                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 298                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 299                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 300                   correct type rather than as a String.
 301               
 302                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 303                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 304                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 305                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 306                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 307                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 308 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 309               
 310                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 311                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 312                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 313               
 314                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 315               
 316                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 317                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 318                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 319                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 320                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 321               
 322                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 323                   clean-up, which I completed.
 324               
 325                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 326               
 327                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 328                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 329 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 330                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 331                   the specified value to that property's type.
 332               
 333                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 334                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 335                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 336                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 337               
 338                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 339                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 340                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 341                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 342                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 343                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 344               
 345 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 346                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 347                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 348                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 349                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 350                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 351                   encoding of parameter values.
 352               
 353                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 354                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 355                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 356                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 357                   have defaulted to String type.

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

 368               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 369                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 370                  
 371 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 372                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 373                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 374                   operations.
 375               
 376                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 377 karl    1.74      
 378               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 379                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 380 karl    1.76      
 381 kumpf   1.68  
 382 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 383                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 384                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 385                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 386                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 387                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 388                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 389               
 390                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 391                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 392                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 393                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 394                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 395                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 396                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 397                   a single buffer.
 398               
 399                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 400                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 401                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 402                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 403 kumpf   1.75  
 404               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 405                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 406                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 407                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 408               
 409                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 410                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 411                   validated.

 413               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 414                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 415                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 416 karl    1.78      
 417 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 418                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 419               
 420                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 421                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 422                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 423                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 424               
 425                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 426               
 427                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 428               
 429                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 430               
 431                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 432               
 433                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 434                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 435                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 436                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 437                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 438 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 439                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 440                   rather than in the constructor.
 441               
 442                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 443                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 444                   included in the Pegasus build.
 445 kumpf   1.79  
 446 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 447                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 448 kumpf   1.75  
 449 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 450                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 451                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 452                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 453                   for that purpose.   
 454               
 455                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 456               
 457                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 458                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 459                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 460                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 461                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 462               
 463                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 464               
 465                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 466                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 467                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 468               
 469                     (ex.)
 470 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 471                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 472               
 473                     or use the following new macro:
 474                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");

 476 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 477 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 478               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 479               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 480               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 481               	operator to be "OR"ed.

 483               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 484               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 485               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 486               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 487               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 488               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 489               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 490               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.

 493               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 494               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 495               	in the Windows service work thread.
 496               
 497 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 498                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 499               	executable
 500                      
 501               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 502                       executable. 
 503 kumpf   1.84  
 504               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 505                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 506                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 507                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 508                   an integer of the specified size.
 509               
 510 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 511                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 512               
 513 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 514                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 515                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 516                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 517               
 518 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 519                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 520 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 521 karl    1.88  	
 522               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 523                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 524                   
 525 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 526                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 527                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 528                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 529                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 530                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 531                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 532                   linked into the server.
 533 karl    1.88  
 534 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 535                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 536                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 537               
 538 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 539                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 540                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 541                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 542                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 543 karl    1.92      
 544               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 545                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 546                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 547                   
 548 kumpf   1.91  
 549 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 550 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 551               
 552               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 553                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 554                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 555                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 556 karl    1.53         
 557               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 558               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 559               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 560               	which is the current file based repository.
 561               	
 562               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 563               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 564               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 565               	in the future.
 566 karl    1.52  
 567 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 568                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 569                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 570                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 571                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 572                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 573               
 574 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 575 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 576                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 577                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 578                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 579                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 580               
 581 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 582 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 583                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 584                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 585                  program.
 586               
 587 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 588                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 589                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 590                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 591                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 592                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 593                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 594                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 595                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 596               
 597                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 598                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 599                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 600               
 601                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 602                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 603                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 604                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 605               
 606                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 607                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 608 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 609                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 610               
 611                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 612                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 613               
 614                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 622               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 623               
 624 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 625                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 626               
 627               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 628 mike    1.51  =======
 629               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 630               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 631               	
 632               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 633               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 634               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 635               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 636               	should not affect any current work.
 637               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 638               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 639               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 640               	
 641               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 642                       on XML output.
 643                       
 644               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 645               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 646               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 647               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 648               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 649 mike    1.51  
 650               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 651               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 652               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 653               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 654               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 655               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 656               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 657               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 658                       
 659               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 660               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 661               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 662               generating debug output.
 663               
 664               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 665               xml when it generates xml output.
 666               
 667               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 668               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 669               repository implementation.
 670 mike    1.51  
 671               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 672               
 673               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 674               
 675               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 676               
 677               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 678               
 679               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.
 680               
 681               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 682                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 683               
 684               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 685               
 686               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.
 687               
 688               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 689               
 690               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 691 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 692                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 693               
 694               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 695                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 696                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 697               
 698               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 699                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 700                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 701               
 702               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 703                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 704                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 705                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 706                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 707                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 708                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 709               
 710                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 711                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 712 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 713                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 714                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 715                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 716                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 717                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 718                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 719                   below:
 720               
 721                   //====================================================================
 722                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 723                   //====================================================================
 724                   [Description (
 725                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 726                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 727                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 728               
 729               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 730                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 731                   a provider library.
 732               
 733 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 734                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 735                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 736                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 737                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 738                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 739                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 740                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 741                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 742                   later). 
 743               
 744                   Also added are two test programs: 
 745               	
 746                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 747                       CIMParamValue class.
 748               	
 749                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 750                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 751                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 752                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 753                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 754 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 755               
 756               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 757                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 758                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 759                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 760                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 761                   and to verify the authentication.
 762               
 763                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 764                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 765                   yet linked into the build.
 766               
 767               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 768                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 769                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 770                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 771                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 772                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 773                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 774               
 775 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 776                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 777                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 778                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 779                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 780                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 781                   provider file path name.
 782               
 783               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 784                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 785                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 786                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 787                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 788                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 789                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 790                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 791               
 792               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 793                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 794                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 795                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 796 mike    1.51  
 797               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 798                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 799                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 800                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 801               
 802               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 803                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 804                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 805                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 806                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 807                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 808                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 809                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 810                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 811               
 812               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 813                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 814                   
 815               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 816               
 817 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 818                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 819                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 820                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 821                   in make files.
 822                  
 823               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 824                   because getting an error in 26
 825               
 826               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 827                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 828                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 829                   tag structure.
 830               
 831                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 832                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 833                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 834               
 835                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 836                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 837                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 838 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 839                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 840               
 841                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 842                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 843                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 844                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 845                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 846                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 847                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 848                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 849               
 850                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 851                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 852                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 853                   reference type.
 854               
 855                   In this example:
 856               
 857                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 858               
 859 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 860                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 861                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 862                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 863                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 864               
 865                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 866                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 867                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 868                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 869                   correctly.
 870               
 871                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 872                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 873               
 874                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 875                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 876                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 877                   CIMOM version.
 878               
 879                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 880 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 881                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 882                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 883                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 884                   definition to determine the key property types.
 885               
 886               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 887                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 888                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 889                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 890               
 891               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 892                   (instanceName).
 893               
 894               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 895                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 896                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 897                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 898               
 899               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 900                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 901 mike    1.51  
 902               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 903                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 904                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 905                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 906                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 907                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 908                   nsk platform links. 
 909               
 910               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 911                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 912                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 913                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 914                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 915                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 916                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 917               
 918                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 919                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 920                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 921                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 922 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 923                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 924                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 925               
 926               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 927                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 928                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 929                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 930               
 931               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 932                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 933                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 934                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 935                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 936               
 937               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 938                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 939                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 940                   be updated to use this class.
 941               
 942               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 943 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 944                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 945                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 946                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 947               
 948               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 949                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 950                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 951                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 952                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 953                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 954               
 955               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 956               
 957                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 958                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 959                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 960                         CIMNamedInstance
 961                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 962                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 963                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 964 mike    1.51  
 965                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 966               
 967                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 968                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 969                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 970                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 971                   functionality.
 972               
 973                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 974               
 975                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 976                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 977                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 978                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 979                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 980                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 981                         the entire instance.
 982               
 983                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 984                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 985 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 986               
 987                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 988                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 989                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 990               
 991                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 992                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 993               
 994               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 995                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 996                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 997                   the DMTF specification.
 998               
 999                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1000                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1001                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1002                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1003               
1004                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1005               
1006 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1007                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1008                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1009                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1010                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1011                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1012                         the entire instance.
1013               
1014                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1015                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1016                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1017                         be used to update the instance.
1018               
1019                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1020                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1021                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1022               
1023                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1024                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1025                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1026               
1027 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1028                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1029                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1030                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1031                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1032               
1033               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1034                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1035                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1036               
1037                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1038                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1039                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1040                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1041                   following command before starting cimserver:
1042               
1043                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1044               
1045                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1046                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1047                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1048 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1049                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1050                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1051                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1052               
1053               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1054                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1055                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1056               
1057               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1058                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1059                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1060                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1061                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1062               
1063                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1064                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1065                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1066                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1067                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1068                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1069 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1070               
1071               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1072                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1073               
1074                   Authentication and User Management:
1075                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1076                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1077                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1078                   generated password file. 
1079               
1080                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1081                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1082                   
1083                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1084                   management and authorization functionality.   
1085               
1086               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1087                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1088               
1089               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1090 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1091                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1092               
1093               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1094                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1095                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1096                 
1097               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1098                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1099                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1100                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1101                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1102                   or change in provider registration.  
1103               
1104               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1105                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1106                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1107                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1108               
1109               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1110                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1111 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1112                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1113                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1114                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1115                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1116                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1117                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1118                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1119                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1120                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1121                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1122 mike    1.50  
1123 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1124                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1125               
1126               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1132               
1133               1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
1134                  indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1135                  and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1136               
1137                  Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
1138                  make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
1139               
1140                  Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
1141                  SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
1142               
1143               2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
1144                  library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
1145                  are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
1146                  and SimpleThread.
1147               
1148               3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer

1170 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1171                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1172                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1173               
1174               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1175                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1176                  that
1177                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1178                  password.
1179                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.

1181                  build.
1182                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1183                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1236 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1237 karl    1.16  
1238               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1239               for NT and Linux platforms.
1240 mike    1.26  
1241 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1242               5988.
1243               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1244               the DMTF.
1245 mike    1.26  
1246 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1247               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1248               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1249               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1250 mike    1.26  
1251 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1252               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1253               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1254 mike    1.26  
1255 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1256               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1257               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1258               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1259               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1260               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1261 bob     1.20  (grb)
1262 mike    1.26  
1263 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1264               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1265               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1266 mike    1.26  
1267 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1268 mike    1.26  
1269 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1270               modifyClass,
1271 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1272 mike    1.26  
1273 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1274               directory. These
1275               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1276               CIMProviderStub has
1277 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1278 mike    1.26  
1279 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1280 mike    1.26  
1281 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1282               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1283 mike    1.26  
1284               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1285 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1286               
1287               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1288                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1289                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1290                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1291                   (MEB)
1292 mike    1.26  
1293 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1294               
1295 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1296               AssociationName
1297 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1298               pages.
1299               
1300 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1301 sage    1.31  
1302               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1303               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1304               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1305               variables.
1306 mike    1.32  
1307               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1308                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1309                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1310 kumpf   1.34  
1311               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1312                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1313                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1314                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1315                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1316                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1317                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1318 karl    1.35  
1319               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1320                   tests for stack and queue.

1327 karl    1.12  1. (KS)OptionManager (CPP and H), Logger (CPP and H), Handler (CPP and H),
1328               CIMServer (both)
1329 karl    1.11  Functions added include:
1330               	a. Enable trace to log file.
1331 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1332               	is
1333 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1334               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1335 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1336               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1337 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1338               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1339 karl    1.15  2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
1340 mike    1.33  
1341 karl    1.15  3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x
1342 mike    1.33  
1343 karl    1.15  4. (KS)Extended options on CIMServer including 1. option to determine where

1352 mike    1.33  
1353 karl    1.15  7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1354               not
1355 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1356               and components of the message causing the problem.
1357 mike    1.33  
1358 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1371               3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1372                  Handler.h to work off of flag.
1373               4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.

1384 karl    1.5   
1385 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1386               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1387               
1388 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1389               of dynamic lib loaading.

1396 karl    1.1   
1397               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1398               qualifiers, methods.
1399               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1400               methods.
1401               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1402               qualifiers and to
1403               remove qualifiers.
1404               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1405               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1406 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1407               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1408               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1409               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1410               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
