   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).
 234               
 235 kumpf   1.132 39. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - Removed operator int() methods from
 236                   all CIM* classes.  These methods had been causing a number of difficult
 237                   to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods
 238                   in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks).
 239               
 240                   In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that
 241                   loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast
 242                   at will in an effort to match types.  I've replaced all instances of
 243                   the int cast operator with isNull() methods.

 245 kumpf   1.133 40. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Added SSL Certificate verification
 246                   code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate
 247                   information to the client's call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and
 248                   the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass a call back function.
 249                   Fixed few display messages in CIMConfigCommand.cpp to show meaningfule
 250                   messages when CIM server is not running.
 251               
 252 kumpf   1.134 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toXml() methods to
 253                   XmlWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::print() methods to
 254                   XmlWriter::print*Element().  Putting this function in XmlWriter
 255                   instead of the CIM* classes keeps those internal methods out of
 256                   the published client and provider APIs.
 257               
 258 kumpf   1.135 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toMof() methods to
 259                   a new MofWriter class as MofWriter::append*Element().  Moved
 260                   CIM*::printMof() methods to MofWriter::print*Element().
 261               
 262 kumpf   1.136 43. (Nag Boranna - HP) 16 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Implemented SSL handling in 
 263                   CIMClient.cpp for local connection and modified the CLIs to not to pass 
 264                   SSLContext to the client api.

 288                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 289                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 290                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 291                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 292                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 293                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.

 301               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 302 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 303                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 304                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 305                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 306                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.

 314 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 315               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 316               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 317               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.

 328                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 329                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 330                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 331                   for remote clients.
 332 karl    1.66  
 333 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 334                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 335                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 336                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 337                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 338                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 339                   values.
 340               
 341                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 342               
 343                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 344                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 345                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 346                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 347                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 348                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 349               
 350                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 351                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 352                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 353                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 354 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 355                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 356                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 357                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 358                   specified in the method definition.
 359               
 360                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 361               
 362                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 363                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 364                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 365                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 366                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 367                   correct type rather than as a String.
 368               
 369                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 370                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 371                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 372                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 373                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 374                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 375 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 376               
 377                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 378                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 379                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 380               
 381                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 382               
 383                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 384                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 385                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 386                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 387                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 388               
 389                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 390                   clean-up, which I completed.
 391               
 392                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 393               
 394                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 395                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 396 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 397                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 398                   the specified value to that property's type.
 399               
 400                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 401                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 402                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 403                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 404               
 405                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 406                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 407                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 408                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 409                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 410                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 411               
 412 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 413                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 414                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 415                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 416                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 417                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 418                   encoding of parameter values.
 419               
 420                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 421                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 422                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 423                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 424                   have defaulted to String type.

 426               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 427                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 428 karl    1.72    
 429 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 430                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 431                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 432                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 433                   the server.

 436                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 437                  
 438 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 439                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 440                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 441                   operations.
 442               
 443                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 444 karl    1.74      
 445               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 446                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 447 karl    1.76      
 448 kumpf   1.68  
 449 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 450                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 451                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 452                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 453                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 454                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 455                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 456               
 457                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 458                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 459                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 460                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 461                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 462                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 463                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 464                   a single buffer.
 465               
 466                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 467                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 468                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 469                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 470 kumpf   1.75  
 471               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 472                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 473                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 474                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 475               
 476                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 477                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 478                   validated.
 479 karl    1.76  
 480               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 481                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 482                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 483 karl    1.78      
 484 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 485                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 486               
 487                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 488                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 489                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 490                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 491               
 492                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 493               
 494                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 495               
 496                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 497               
 498                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 499               
 500                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 501                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 502                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 503                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 504                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 505 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 506                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 507                   rather than in the constructor.
 508               
 509                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 510                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 511                   included in the Pegasus build.
 512 kumpf   1.79  
 513 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 514                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 515 kumpf   1.75  
 516 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 517                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 518                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 519                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 520                   for that purpose.   
 521               
 522                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 523               
 524                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 525                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 526                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 527                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 528                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 529               
 530                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 531               
 532                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 533                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 534                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 535               
 536                     (ex.)
 537 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 538                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 539               
 540                     or use the following new macro:
 541                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 542                   
 543 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 544 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 545               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 546               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 547               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 548               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 549 ramnath 1.81  
 550               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 551               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 552               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 553               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 554               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 555               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 556               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 557               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 558 ramnath 1.80  
 559 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 560               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 561               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 562               	in the Windows service work thread.
 563               
 564 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 565                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 566               	executable
 567                      
 568               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 569                       executable. 
 570 kumpf   1.84  
 571               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 572                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 573                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 574                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 575                   an integer of the specified size.
 576               
 577 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 578                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 579               
 580 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 581                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 582                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 583                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 584               
 585 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 586                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 587 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 588 karl    1.88  	
 589               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 590                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 591                   
 592 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 593                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 594                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 595                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 596                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 597                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 598                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 599                   linked into the server.
 600 karl    1.88  
 601 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 602                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 603                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 604               
 605 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 606                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 607                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 608                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 609                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 610 karl    1.92      
 611               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 612                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 613                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 614                   
 615 kumpf   1.91  
 616 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 617 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 618               
 619               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 620                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 621                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 622                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 623 karl    1.53         
 624               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 625               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 626               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 627               	which is the current file based repository.
 628               	
 629               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 630               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 631               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 632               	in the future.
 633 karl    1.52  
 634 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 635                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 636                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 637                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 638                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 639                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 640               
 641 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 642 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 643                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 644                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 645                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 646                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 647               
 648 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 649 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 650                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 651                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 652                  program.
 653               
 654 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 655                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 656                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 657                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 658                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 659                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 660                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 661                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 662                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 663               
 664                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 665                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 666                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 667               
 668                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 669                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 670                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 671                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 672               
 673                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 674                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 675 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 676                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 677               
 678                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 679                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 680               
 681                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 689               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 690               
 691 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 692                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 693               
 694               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 695 mike    1.51  =======
 696               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 697               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 698               	
 699               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 700               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 701               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 702               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 703               	should not affect any current work.
 704               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 705               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 706               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 707               	
 708               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 709                       on XML output.
 710                       
 711               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 712               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 713               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 714               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 715               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 716 mike    1.51  
 717               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 718               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 719               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 720               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 721               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 722               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 723               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 724               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 725                       
 726               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 727               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 728               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 729               generating debug output.
 730

 746               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.
 747               
 748               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 749                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.

 753               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.
 754               
 755               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 756               
 757               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 758 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 759                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 760               
 761               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 762                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 763                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 764               
 765               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 766                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 767                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 768               
 769               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 770                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 771                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 772                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 773                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 774                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 775                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 776               
 777                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 778                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 779 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 780                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 781                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 782                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 783                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 784                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 785                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 786                   below:
 787               
 788                   //====================================================================
 789                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP

 793                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 794                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 795               
 796               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 797                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 798                   a provider library.
 799               
 800 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 801                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 802                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 803                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 804                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 805                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 806                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 807                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 808                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 809                   later). 
 810               
 811                   Also added are two test programs: 
 812               	
 813                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 814                       CIMParamValue class.
 815               	
 816                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 817                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 818                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 819                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 820                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 821 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 822               
 823               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 824                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 825                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 826                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 827                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 828                   and to verify the authentication.
 829               
 830                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 831                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 832                   yet linked into the build.
 833               
 834               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 835                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 836                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 837                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 838                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 839                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 840                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 841               
 842 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 843                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 844                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 845                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 846                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 847                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 848                   provider file path name.
 849               
 850               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 851                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 852                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 853                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 854                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 855                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 856                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 857                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 858               
 859               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 860                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 861                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 862                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 863 mike    1.51  
 864               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 865                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 866                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 867                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 868               
 869               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 870                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 871                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 872                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 873                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 874                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 875                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 876                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 877                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 878               
 879               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 880                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 881                   
 882               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 883               
 884 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 885                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 886                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 887                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 888                   in make files.
 889                  
 890               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 891                   because getting an error in 26
 892               
 893               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 894                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 895                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 896                   tag structure.
 897               
 898                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 899                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 900                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 901               
 902                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 903                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 904                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 905 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 906                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 907               
 908                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 909                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 910                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 911                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 912                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 913                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 914                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 915                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 916               
 917                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 918                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 919                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 920                   reference type.
 921               
 922                   In this example:
 923               
 924                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 925               
 926 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 927                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 928                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 929                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 930                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 931               
 932                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 933                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 934                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 935                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 936                   correctly.
 937               
 938                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 939                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 940               
 941                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 942                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 943                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 944                   CIMOM version.
 945               
 946                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 947 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 948                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 949                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 950                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 951                   definition to determine the key property types.
 952               
 953               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 954                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 955                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 956                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 957               
 958               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 959                   (instanceName).
 960               
 961               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 962                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 963                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 964                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 965               
 966               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 967                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 968 mike    1.51  
 969               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 970                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 971                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 972                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 973                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 974                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 975                   nsk platform links. 
 976               
 977               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 978                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 979                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 980                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 981                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 982                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 983                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 984               
 985                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 986                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 987                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 988                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 989 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 990                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 991                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 992               
 993               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 994                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 995                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 996                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 997               
 998               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 999                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1000                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1001                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1002                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1003               
1004               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1005                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1006                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1007                   be updated to use this class.
1008               
1009               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1010 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1011                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1012                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1013                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1014               
1015               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1016                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1017                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1018                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1019                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1020                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1021               
1022               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1023               
1024                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1025                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1026                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1027                         CIMNamedInstance
1028                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1029                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1030                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1031 mike    1.51  
1032                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1033               
1034                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1035                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1036                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1037                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1038                   functionality.
1039               
1040                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1041               
1042                     - 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 be required to return instance names along with
1051                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1052 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1053               
1054                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1055                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1056                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1057               
1058                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1059                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1060               
1061               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1062                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1063                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1064                   the DMTF specification.
1065               
1066                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1067                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1068                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1069                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1070               
1071                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1072               
1073 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1074                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1075                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1076                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1077                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1078                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1079                         the entire instance.
1080               
1081                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1082                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1083                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1084                         be used to update the instance.
1085               
1086                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1087                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1088                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1089               
1090                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1091                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1092                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1093               
1094 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1095                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1096                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1097                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1098                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1099               
1100               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1101                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1102                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1103               
1104                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1105                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1106                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1107                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1108                   following command before starting cimserver:
1109               
1110                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1111               
1112                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1113                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1114                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1115 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1116                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1117                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1118                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1119               
1120               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1121                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1122                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1123               
1124               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1125                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1126                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1127                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1128                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1129               
1130                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1131                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1132                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1133                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1134                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1135                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1136 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1137               
1138               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1139                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1140               
1141                   Authentication and User Management:
1142                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1143                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1144                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1145                   generated password file. 
1146               
1147                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1148                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1149                   
1150                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1151                   management and authorization functionality.   
1152               
1153               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1154                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1155               
1156               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1157 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1158                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1159               
1160               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1161                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1162                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1163                 
1164               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1165                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1166                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1167                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1168                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1169                   or change in provider registration.  
1170               
1171               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1172                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1173                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1174                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1175               
1176               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1177                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1178 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1179                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1180                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1181                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1182                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1183                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1184                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1185                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1186                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1187                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1188                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1189 mike    1.50  
1190 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1191                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1192               
1193               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1200               1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
1201                  indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1202                  and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1203               
1204                  Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
1205                  make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
1206               
1207                  Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
1208                  SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
1209               
1210               2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
1211                  library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined

1225                  the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1226                  src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1227               
1228               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1229                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1230                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page
1231                  in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on
1232                  using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
1233                  mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
1234                  is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
1235                  information on running the test script.
1236               
1237 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1238                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1239                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1240               
1241               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1242                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1243                  that
1244                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1245                  password.
1246                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1247                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1248                  build.
1249                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1250                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1303 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1304 karl    1.16  
1305               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1306               for NT and Linux platforms.
1307 mike    1.26  
1308 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1309               5988.
1310               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1311               the DMTF.
1312 mike    1.26  
1313 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1314               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1315               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1316               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1317 mike    1.26  
1318 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1319               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1320               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1321 mike    1.26  
1322 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1323               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1324               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1325               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1326               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1327               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1328 bob     1.20  (grb)
1329 mike    1.26  
1330 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1331               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1332               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1333 mike    1.26  
1334 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1335 mike    1.26  
1336 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1337               modifyClass,
1338 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1339 mike    1.26  
1340 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1341               directory. These
1342               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1343               CIMProviderStub has
1344 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1345 mike    1.26  
1346 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1347 mike    1.26  
1348 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1349               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1350 mike    1.26  
1351               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1352 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1353               
1354               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1355                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1356                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1357                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1358                   (MEB)
1359 mike    1.26  
1360 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1361               
1362 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1363               AssociationName
1364 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1365               pages.
1366               
1367 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1368 sage    1.31  
1369               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1370               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1371               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1372               variables.
1373 mike    1.32  
1374               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1375                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1376                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1377 kumpf   1.34  
1378               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1379                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1380                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1381                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1382                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1383                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1384                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1385 karl    1.35  
1386               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1387                   tests for stack and queue.

1465               qualifiers, methods.
1466               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1467               methods.
1468               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1469               qualifiers and to
1470               remove qualifiers.
1471               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1472               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1473 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1474               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1475               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1476               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1477               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
