   1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
   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               
 208 mary    1.130 37. (Mary Hinton) 10 May 2002 - Fixed the problem in the new version of 
 209                   pegasus_gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv)function for the Windows 
 210                   platform. The new implementation was implemented for higher resolution 
 211                   for performance statistics. However, it was causing an intermittent 
 212                   hang in the ThreadPool test on the Windows platform.When (long int) 
 213                   is changed to (__int64), the tv_usec variable of timeval struct has 
 214                   the correct value.
 215               
 216 kumpf   1.131 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - To eliminate the possibility of
 217                   collisions (and subsequent corruption) when different threads
 218                   concurrently update the ArrayRep reference count, I added a Mutex
 219                   to the ArrayRep structure.  This Mutex gets locked in the inc()
 220                   and dec() methods that manage the reference count.
 221               
 222                   After adding the Mutex, the "mysterious" memory problems seemed to clear
 223                   up.  This seems like a very good thing.  However, note that the addition
 224                   of the Mutex adversely affects performance (nearly 2:1).  I tried using
 225                   an AtomicInt for the reference count, but that seemed to yield even worse
 226                   performance on my system.
 227               
 228                   Anyone should feel free to optimize the performance of the locking in
 229                   the ArrayRep structure.  Since I believe this locking is required for
 230                   proper operation, I've added the Mutex for all platforms.  Note that I
 231                   had to comment out the assert statements in internal_dq.h to avoid a
 232                   circular header file dependency (Array.h->IPC.h->internal_dq.h->
 233                   Exception.h->String.h->Array.h).

 248               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
 249               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
 250               TAG: VERSION_1_07
 251               
 252               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
 253               
 254 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
 255 karl    1.59  
 256 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 257                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 258                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 259                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 260                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 261                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 262                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
 263               
 264                   For more information look in to the following files:
 265                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
 266                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp

 268                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
 269               
 270               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 271 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 272                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 273                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 274                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 275                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 276 karl    1.63     
 277 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 278 karl    1.62  
 279 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
 280 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
 281               
 282 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 283 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 284               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 285               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 286               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 287               
 288 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 289 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 290               will be deleted.
 291               
 292 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
 293               
 294               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 295 karl    1.66  
 296 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 297                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 298                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 299                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 300                   for remote clients.
 301 karl    1.66  
 302 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 303                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 304                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 305                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 306                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 307                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 308                   values.
 309               
 310                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 311               
 312                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 313                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 314                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 315                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 316                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 317                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 318               
 319                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 320                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 321                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 322                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 323 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 324                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 325                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 326                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 327                   specified in the method definition.
 328               
 329                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 330               
 331                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 332                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 333                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 334                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 335                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 336                   correct type rather than as a String.
 337               
 338                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 339                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 340                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 341                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 342                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 343                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 344 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 345               
 346                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 347                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 348                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 349               
 350                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 351               
 352                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 353                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 354                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 355                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 356                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 357               
 358                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 359                   clean-up, which I completed.
 360               
 361                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 362               
 363                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 364                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 365 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 366                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 367                   the specified value to that property's type.
 368               
 369                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 370                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 371                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 372                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 373               
 374                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 375                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 376                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 377                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 378                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 379                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 380               
 381 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 382                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 383                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 384                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 385                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 386                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 387                   encoding of parameter values.
 388               
 389                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 390                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 391                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 392                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 393                   have defaulted to String type.
 394 karl    1.70      
 395               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 396                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 397 karl    1.72    
 398 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 399                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 400                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 401                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 402                   the server.
 403 karl    1.72      
 404               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 405                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 406                  
 407 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 408                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 409                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 410                   operations.
 411               
 412                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 413 karl    1.74      
 414               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 415                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 416 karl    1.76      
 417 kumpf   1.68  
 418 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 419                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 420                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 421                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 422                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 423                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 424                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 425               
 426                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 427                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 428                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 429                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 430                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 431                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 432                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 433                   a single buffer.
 434               
 435                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 436                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 437                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 438                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 439 kumpf   1.75  
 440               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 441                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 442                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 443                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 444               
 445                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 446                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 447                   validated.
 448 karl    1.76  
 449               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 450                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 451                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 452 karl    1.78      
 453 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 454                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 455               
 456                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 457                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 458                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 459                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 460               
 461                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 462               
 463                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 464               
 465                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 466               
 467                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 468               
 469                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 470                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 471                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 472                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 473                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 474 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 475                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 476                   rather than in the constructor.
 477               
 478                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 479                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 480                   included in the Pegasus build.
 481 kumpf   1.79  
 482 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 483                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 484 kumpf   1.75  
 485 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 486                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 487                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 488                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 489                   for that purpose.   
 490               
 491                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 492               
 493                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 494                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 495                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 496                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 497                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 498               
 499                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 500               
 501                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 502                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 503                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 504               
 505                     (ex.)
 506 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 507                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 508               
 509                     or use the following new macro:
 510                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 511                   
 512 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 513 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 514               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 515               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 516               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 517               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 518 ramnath 1.81  
 519               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 520               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 521               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 522               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 523               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 524               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 525               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 526               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 527 ramnath 1.80  
 528 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 529               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 530               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 531               	in the Windows service work thread.
 532               
 533 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 534                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 535               	executable
 536                      
 537               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 538                       executable. 
 539 kumpf   1.84  
 540               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 541                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 542                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 543                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 544                   an integer of the specified size.
 545               
 546 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 547                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 548               
 549 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 550                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 551                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 552                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 553               
 554 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 555                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 556 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 557 karl    1.88  	
 558               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 559                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 560                   
 561 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 562                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 563                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 564                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 565                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 566                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 567                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 568                   linked into the server.
 569 karl    1.88  
 570 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 571                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 572                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 573               
 574 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 575                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 576                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 577                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 578                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 579 karl    1.92      
 580               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 581                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 582                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 583                   
 584 kumpf   1.91  
 585 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 586 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 587               
 588               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 589                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 590                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 591                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 592 karl    1.53         
 593               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 594               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 595               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 596               	which is the current file based repository.
 597               	
 598               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 599               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 600               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 601               	in the future.
 602 karl    1.52  
 603 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 604                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 605                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 606                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 607                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 608                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 609               
 610 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 611 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 612                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 613                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 614                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 615                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 616               
 617 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 618 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 619                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 620                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 621                  program.
 622               
 623 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 624                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 625                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 626                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 627                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 628                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 629                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 630                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 631                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 632               
 633                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 634                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 635                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 636               
 637                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 638                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 639                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 640                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 641               
 642                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 643                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 644 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 645                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 646               
 647                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 648                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 649               
 650                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 658               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 659               
 660 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 661                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 662               
 663               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 664 mike    1.51  =======
 665               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 666               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 667               	
 668               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 669               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 670               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 671               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 672               	should not affect any current work.
 673               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 674               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 675               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 676               	
 677               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 678                       on XML output.
 679                       
 680               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 681               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 682               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 683               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 684               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 685 mike    1.51  
 686               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 687               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 688               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 689               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 690               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 691               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 692               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 693               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 694                       
 695               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 696               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 697               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 698               generating debug output.
 699               
 700               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 701               xml when it generates xml output.
 702               
 703               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 704               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 705               repository implementation.
 706 mike    1.51  
 707               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 708               
 709               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 710               
 711               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 712               
 713               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 714               
 715               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.
 716               
 717               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 718                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 719               
 720               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 721               
 722               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.
 723               
 724               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 725               
 726               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 727 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 728                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 729               
 730               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 731                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 732                   input and output can be written in a trace file.

 734               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 735                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 736                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 737               
 738               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 739                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 740                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 741                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 742                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 743                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 744                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 745               
 746                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 747                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 748 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 749                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 750                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 751                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 752                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 753                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 754                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 755                   below:
 756               
 757                   //====================================================================
 758                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 759                   //====================================================================
 760                   [Description (
 761                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 762                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 763                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 764               
 765               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 766                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 767                   a provider library.
 768               
 769 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 770                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 771                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 772                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 773                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 774                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 775                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 776                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 777                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 778                   later). 
 779               
 780                   Also added are two test programs: 
 781               	
 782                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 783                       CIMParamValue class.
 784               	
 785                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 786                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 787                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 788                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 789                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 790 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 791               
 792               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 793                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 794                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 795                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 796                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 797                   and to verify the authentication.
 798               
 799                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 800                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 801                   yet linked into the build.
 802               
 803               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 804                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 805                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 806                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 807                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 808                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 809                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 810               
 811 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 812                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 813                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 814                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 815                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 816                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 817                   provider file path name.
 818               
 819               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 820                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 821                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 822                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 823                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 824                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 825                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 826                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 827               
 828               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 829                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 830                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 831                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 832 mike    1.51  
 833               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 834                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 835                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 836                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 837               
 838               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 839                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 840                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 841                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 842                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 843                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 844                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 845                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 846                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 847               
 848               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 849                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 850                   
 851               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 852               
 853 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 854                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 855                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 856                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 857                   in make files.
 858                  
 859               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 860                   because getting an error in 26
 861               
 862               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 863                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 864                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 865                   tag structure.
 866               
 867                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 868                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 869                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 870               
 871                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 872                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 873                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 874 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 875                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 876               
 877                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 878                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 879                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 880                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 881                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 882                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 883                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 884                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 885               
 886                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 887                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 888                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 889                   reference type.
 890               
 891                   In this example:
 892               
 893                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 894               
 895 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 896                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 897                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 898                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 899                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 900               
 901                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 902                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 903                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 904                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 905                   correctly.
 906               
 907                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 908                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 909               
 910                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 911                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 912                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 913                   CIMOM version.
 914               
 915                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 916 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 917                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 918                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 919                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 920                   definition to determine the key property types.
 921               
 922               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 923                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 924                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 925                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 926               
 927               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 928                   (instanceName).
 929               
 930               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 931                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 932                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 933                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 934               
 935               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 936                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 937 mike    1.51  
 938               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 939                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 940                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 941                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 942                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 943                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 944                   nsk platform links. 
 945               
 946               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 947                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 948                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 949                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 950                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 951                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 952                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 953               
 954                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 955                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 956                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 957                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 958 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 959                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 960                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 961               
 962               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 963                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 964                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 965                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 966               
 967               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 968                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 969                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 970                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 971                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 972               
 973               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 974                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 975                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 976                   be updated to use this class.
 977               
 978               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 979 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 980                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 981                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 982                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 983               
 984               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 985                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 986                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 987                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 988                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 989                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 990               
 991               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 992               
 993                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 994                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 995                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 996                         CIMNamedInstance
 997                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 998                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 999                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1000 mike    1.51  
1001                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1002               
1003                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1004                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1005                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1006                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1007                   functionality.
1008               
1009                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1010               
1011                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1012                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1013                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1014                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1015                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1016                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1017                         the entire instance.
1018               
1019                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1020                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1021 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1022               
1023                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1024                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1025                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1026               
1027                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1028                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1029               
1030               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1031                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1032                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1033                   the DMTF specification.
1034               
1035                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1036                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1037                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1038                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1039               
1040                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1041               
1042 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1043                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1044                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1045                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1046                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1047                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1048                         the entire instance.
1049               
1050                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1051                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1052                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1053                         be used to update the instance.
1054               
1055                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1056                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1057                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1058               
1059                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1060                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1061                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1062               
1063 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1064                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1065                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1066                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1067                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1068               
1069               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1070                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1071                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1072               
1073                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1074                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1075                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1076                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1077                   following command before starting cimserver:
1078               
1079                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1080               
1081                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1082                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1083                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1084 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1085                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1086                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1087                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1088               
1089               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1090                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1091                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1092               
1093               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1094                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1095                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1096                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1097                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1098               
1099                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1100                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1101                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1102                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1103                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1104                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1105 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1106               
1107               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1108                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1109               
1110                   Authentication and User Management:
1111                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1112                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1113                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1114                   generated password file. 
1115               
1116                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1117                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1118                   
1119                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1120                   management and authorization functionality.   
1121               
1122               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1123                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1124               
1125               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1126 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1127                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1128               
1129               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1130                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1131                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1132                 
1133               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1134                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1135                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1136                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1137                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1138                   or change in provider registration.  
1139               
1140               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1141                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1142                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1143                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1144               
1145               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1146                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1147 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1148                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1149                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1150                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1151                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1152                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1153                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1154                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1155                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1156                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1157                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1158 mike    1.50  
1159 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1160                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1161               
1162               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1169               1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
1170                  indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1171                  and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1172               
1173                  Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
1174                  make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
1175               
1176                  Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
1177                  SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
1178               
1179               2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
1180                  library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
1181                  are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
1182                  and SimpleThread.

1206 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1207                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1208                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.

1210               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1211                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1212                  that
1213                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1214                  password.
1215                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1216                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1217                  build.
1218                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1219                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1247               
1248               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1249                  ids to queue pointers).

1272 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1273 karl    1.16  
1274               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1275               for NT and Linux platforms.
1276 mike    1.26  
1277 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1278               5988.
1279               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1280               the DMTF.
1281 mike    1.26  
1282 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1283               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1284               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1285               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1286 mike    1.26  
1287 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1288               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1289               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1290 mike    1.26  
1291 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1292               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1293               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1294               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1295               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1296               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1297 bob     1.20  (grb)
1298 mike    1.26  
1299 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1300               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1301               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1302 mike    1.26  
1303 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1304 mike    1.26  
1305 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1306               modifyClass,
1307 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1308 mike    1.26  
1309 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1310               directory. These
1311               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1312               CIMProviderStub has
1313 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1314 mike    1.26  
1315 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1316 mike    1.26  
1317 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1318               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1319 mike    1.26  
1320               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1321 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1322               
1323               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1324                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1325                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1326                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1327                   (MEB)
1328 mike    1.26  
1329 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1330               
1331 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1332               AssociationName
1333 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1334               pages.
1335               
1336 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1337 sage    1.31  
1338               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1339               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1340               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1341               variables.
1342 mike    1.32  
1343               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1344                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1345                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1346 kumpf   1.34  
1347               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1348                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1349                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1350                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1351                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1352                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1353                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1354 karl    1.35  
1355               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1356                   tests for stack and queue.

1367 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1368               	is
1369 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1370               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1371 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1372               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1373 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1374               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1375 karl    1.15  2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
1376 mike    1.33  
1377 karl    1.15  3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x

1390               not
1391 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1392               and components of the message causing the problem.
1393 mike    1.33  
1394 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1433               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1434               qualifiers, methods.
1435               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1436               methods.
1437               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1438               qualifiers and to
1439               remove qualifiers.
1440               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1441               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1442 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1443               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1444               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1445               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1446               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
