   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               
 199 kumpf   1.129 35. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Updated the Logger to log to 
 200                   syslog on the HP-UX platform.
 201               
 202               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Fixed the method 
 203                   CIMDateTime::getCurrentDateTime() to return local time instead of UTC.
 204                   Updated the CIMDateTime::getDifference() method to compute the difference
 205                   between two local times. Also updated the getDifference to compute the 
 206                   difference between two intervals.
 207

 210 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
 211 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
 212               of problems with the CVS repository
 213 karl    1.93  
 214 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
 215 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
 216                  
 217 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
 218                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

 224               
 225               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
 226               
 227 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
 228 karl    1.59  
 229 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 230                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 231                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 232                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 233                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 234                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 235                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
 236               
 237                   For more information look in to the following files:
 238                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
 239                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
 240                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
 241                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
 242               
 243               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 244 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 245                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 246                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 247                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 248                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.

 270                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 271                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 272                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 273                   for remote clients.
 274 karl    1.66  
 275 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 276                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 277                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 278                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 279                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 280                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 281                   values.
 282               
 283                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 284               
 285                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 286                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 287                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 288                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 289                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 290                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 291               
 292                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 293                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 294                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 295                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 296 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 297                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 298                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 299                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 300                   specified in the method definition.
 301               
 302                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 303               
 304                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 305                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 306                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 307                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 308                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 309                   correct type rather than as a String.
 310               
 311                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 312                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 313                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 314                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 315                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 316                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 317 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 318               
 319                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 320                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 321                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 322               
 323                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 324               
 325                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 326                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 327                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 328                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 329                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 330               
 331                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 332                   clean-up, which I completed.
 333               
 334                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 335               
 336                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 337                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 338 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 339                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 340                   the specified value to that property's type.
 341               
 342                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 343                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 344                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 345                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 346               
 347                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 348                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 349                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 350                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 351                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 352                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 353               
 354 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 355                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 356                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 357                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 358                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 359                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 360                   encoding of parameter values.
 361               
 362                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 363                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 364                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 365                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 366                   have defaulted to String type.

 370 karl    1.72    
 371 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 372                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 373                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 374                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 375                   the server.

 379                  
 380 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 381                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 382                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 383                   operations.
 384               
 385                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 386 karl    1.74      
 387               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 388                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 389 karl    1.76      
 390 kumpf   1.68  
 391 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 392                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 393                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 394                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 395                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 396                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 397                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 398               
 399                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 400                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 401                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 402                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 403                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 404                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 405                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 406                   a single buffer.
 407               
 408                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 409                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 410                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 411                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 412 kumpf   1.75  
 413               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 414                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 415                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 416                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 417               
 418                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 419                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 420                   validated.

 422               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 423                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 424                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 425 karl    1.78      
 426 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 427                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 428               
 429                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 430                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 431                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 432                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 433               
 434                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 435               
 436                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 437               
 438                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 439               
 440                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 441               
 442                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 443                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 444                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 445                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 446                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 447 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 448                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 449                   rather than in the constructor.
 450               
 451                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 452                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 453                   included in the Pegasus build.

 455 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 456                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 457 kumpf   1.75  
 458 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 459                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 460                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 461                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 462                   for that purpose.   
 463               
 464                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 465               
 466                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 467                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 468                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 469                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 470                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 471               
 472                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 473               
 474                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 475                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 476                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 477               
 478                     (ex.)
 479 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 480                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 481               
 482                     or use the following new macro:

 487               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 488               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 489               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first

 494               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 495               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 496               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 497               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 498               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 499               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 500 ramnath 1.80  
 501 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 502               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 503               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 504               	in the Windows service work thread.
 505               
 506 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 507                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 508               	executable
 509                      
 510               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 511                       executable. 
 512 kumpf   1.84  
 513               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 514                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 515                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 516                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 517                   an integer of the specified size.
 518               
 519 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 520                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 521               
 522 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 523                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 524                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 525                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 526               
 527 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 528                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 529 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 530 karl    1.88  	
 531               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 532                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 533                   
 534 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 535                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 536                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 537                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 538                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 539                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 540                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 541                   linked into the server.
 542 karl    1.88  
 543 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 544                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 545                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 546               
 547 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 548                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 549                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 550                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 551                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 552 karl    1.92      
 553               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 554                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 555                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 556

 558 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 559 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 560               
 561               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 562                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 563                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 564                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 565 karl    1.53         
 566               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 567               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 568               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 569               	which is the current file based repository.
 570               	
 571               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 572               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 573               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 574               	in the future.
 575 karl    1.52  
 576 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 577                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 578                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 579                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 580                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 581                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 582               
 583 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 584 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 585                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 586                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 587                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 588                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 589               
 590 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 591 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 592                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 593                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 594                  program.
 595               
 596 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 597                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 598                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 599                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 600                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 601                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 602                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 603                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 604                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 605               
 606                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 607                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 608                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 609               
 610                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 611                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 612                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 613                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 614               
 615                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 616                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 617 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 618                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 619               
 620                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 621                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 622               
 623                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 631               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 632               
 633 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 634                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 635               
 636               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 637 mike    1.51  =======
 638               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 639               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 640               	
 641               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 642               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 643               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 644               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 645               	should not affect any current work.
 646               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 647               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 648               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 649               	
 650               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 651                       on XML output.
 652                       
 653               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 654               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 655               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 656               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 657               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 658 mike    1.51  
 659               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 660               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 661               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 662               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 663               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 664               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 665               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 666               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 667                       
 668               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 669               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 670               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 671               generating debug output.
 672               
 673               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 674               xml when it generates xml output.
 675               
 676               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 677               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 678               repository implementation.
 679 mike    1.51  
 680               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 681               
 682               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 683               
 684               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 685               
 686               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 687               
 688               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.
 689               
 690               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 691                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 692               
 693               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 694               
 695               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.
 696               
 697               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 698               
 699               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 700 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 701                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 702               
 703               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 704                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 705                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 706               
 707               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 708                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 709                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 710               
 711               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 712                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 713                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 714                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 715                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 716                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 717                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 718               
 719                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 720                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 721 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 722                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 723                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 724                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 725                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 726                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 727                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 728                   below:

 737               
 738               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 739                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 740                   a provider library.
 741               
 742 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 743                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 744                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 745                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 746                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 747                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 748                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 749                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 750                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 751                   later). 
 752               
 753                   Also added are two test programs: 
 754               	
 755                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 756                       CIMParamValue class.
 757               	
 758                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 759                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 760                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 761                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 762                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 763 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 764               
 765               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 766                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 767                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 768                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 769                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 770                   and to verify the authentication.
 771               
 772                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 773                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 774                   yet linked into the build.
 775               
 776               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 777                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 778                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 779                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 780                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 781                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 782                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 783               
 784 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 785                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 786                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 787                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 788                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 789                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 790                   provider file path name.
 791               
 792               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 793                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 794                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 795                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 796                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 797                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 798                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 799                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 800               
 801               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 802                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 803                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 804                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 805 mike    1.51  
 806               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 807                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 808                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 809                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 810               
 811               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 812                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 813                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 814                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 815                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 816                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 817                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 818                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 819                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 820               
 821               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 822                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 823                   
 824               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 825               
 826 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 827                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 828                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 829                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 830                   in make files.
 831                  
 832               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 833                   because getting an error in 26
 834               
 835               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 836                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 837                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 838                   tag structure.
 839               
 840                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 841                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 842                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 843               
 844                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 845                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 846                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 847 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 848                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 849               
 850                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 851                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 852                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 853                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 854                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 855                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 856                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 857                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 858               
 859                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 860                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 861                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 862                   reference type.
 863               
 864                   In this example:
 865               
 866                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 867               
 868 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 869                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 870                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 871                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 872                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 873               
 874                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 875                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 876                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 877                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 878                   correctly.
 879               
 880                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 881                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 882               
 883                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 884                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 885                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 886                   CIMOM version.
 887               
 888                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 889 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 890                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 891                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 892                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 893                   definition to determine the key property types.
 894               
 895               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 896                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 897                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 898                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 899               
 900               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 901                   (instanceName).
 902               
 903               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 904                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 905                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 906                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 907               
 908               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 909                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 910 mike    1.51  
 911               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 912                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 913                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 914                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 915                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 916                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 917                   nsk platform links. 
 918               
 919               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 920                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 921                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 922                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 923                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 924                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 925                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 926               
 927                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 928                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 929                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 930                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 931 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 932                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 933                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 934               
 935               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 936                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 937                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 938                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 939               
 940               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 941                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 942                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 943                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 944                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 945               
 946               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 947                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 948                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 949                   be updated to use this class.
 950               
 951               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 952 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 953                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 954                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 955                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 956               
 957               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 958                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 959                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 960                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 961                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 962                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 963               
 964               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 965               
 966                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 967                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 968                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 969                         CIMNamedInstance
 970                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 971                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 972                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 973 mike    1.51  
 974                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 975               
 976                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 977                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 978                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 979                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 980                   functionality.
 981               
 982                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 983               
 984                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 985                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 986                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 987                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 988                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 989                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 990                         the entire instance.
 991               
 992                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 993                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 994 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 995               
 996                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 997                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 998                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 999               
1000                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1001                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1002               
1003               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1004                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1005                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1006                   the DMTF specification.
1007               
1008                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1009                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1010                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1011                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1012               
1013                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1014               
1015 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1016                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1017                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1018                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1019                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1020                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1021                         the entire instance.
1022               
1023                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1024                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1025                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1026                         be used to update the instance.
1027               
1028                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1029                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1030                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1031               
1032                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1033                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1034                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1035               
1036 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1037                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1038                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1039                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1040                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1041               
1042               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1043                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1044                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1045               
1046                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1047                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1048                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1049                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1050                   following command before starting cimserver:
1051               
1052                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1053               
1054                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1055                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1056                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1057 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1058                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1059                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1060                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1061               
1062               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1063                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1064                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1065               
1066               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1067                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1068                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1069                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1070                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1071               
1072                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1073                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1074                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1075                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1076                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1077                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1078 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1079               
1080               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1081                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1082               
1083                   Authentication and User Management:
1084                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1085                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1086                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1087                   generated password file. 
1088               
1089                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1090                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1091                   
1092                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1093                   management and authorization functionality.   
1094               
1095               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1096                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1097               
1098               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1099 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1100                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1101               
1102               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1103                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1104                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1105                 
1106               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1107                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1108                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1109                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1110                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1111                   or change in provider registration.  
1112               
1113               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1114                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1115                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1116                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1117               
1118               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1119                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1120 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1121                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1122                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1123                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1124                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1125                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1126                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1127                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1128                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1129                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1130                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1131 mike    1.50  
1132 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1133                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1134               
1135               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1143                  indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1144                  and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1145               
1146                  Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
1147                  make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
1148               
1149                  Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
1150                  SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
1151               
1152               2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
1153                  library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
1154                  are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
1155                  and SimpleThread.

1183               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1184                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1185                  that
1186                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a

1220               
1221               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps

1245 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1246 karl    1.16  
1247               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1248               for NT and Linux platforms.
1249 mike    1.26  
1250 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1251               5988.
1252               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1253               the DMTF.
1254 mike    1.26  
1255 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1256               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1257               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1258               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1259 mike    1.26  
1260 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1261               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1262               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1263 mike    1.26  
1264 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1265               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1266               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1267               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1268               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1269               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1270 bob     1.20  (grb)
1271 mike    1.26  
1272 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1273               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1274               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1275 mike    1.26  
1276 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1277 mike    1.26  
1278 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1279               modifyClass,
1280 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1281 mike    1.26  
1282 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1283               directory. These
1284               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1285               CIMProviderStub has
1286 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1287 mike    1.26  
1288 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1289 mike    1.26  
1290 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1291               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1292 mike    1.26  
1293               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1294 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1295               
1296               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1297                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1298                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1299                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1300                   (MEB)
1301 mike    1.26  
1302 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1303               
1304 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1305               AssociationName
1306 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1307               pages.
1308               
1309 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1310 sage    1.31  
1311               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1312               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1313               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1314               variables.
1315 mike    1.32  
1316               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1317                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1318                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1319 kumpf   1.34  
1320               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1321                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1322                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1323                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1324                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1325                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1326                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1327 karl    1.35  
1328               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1329                   tests for stack and queue.

1340 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1341               	is
1342 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1343               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1344 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1345               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1346 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1347               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1348 karl    1.15  2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
1349 mike    1.33  
1350 karl    1.15  3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x

1363               not
1364 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1365               and components of the message causing the problem.
1366 mike    1.33  
1367 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1393 karl    1.5   
1394 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1395               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1396               
1397 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1398               of dynamic lib loaading.

1405 karl    1.1   
1406               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1407               qualifiers, methods.
1408               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1409               methods.
1410               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1411               qualifiers and to
1412               remove qualifiers.
1413               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1414               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1415 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1416               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1417               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1418               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1419               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
