   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. 
 265               
 266 kumpf   1.137 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 267                   each array has its own ArrayRep copy rather than Arrays sharing
 268                   ArrayReps and reference counting.
 269               
 270 kumpf   1.138 45. (Nag Boranna - HP) 17 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Moved SSLContext class out of
 271                   TLS files, created SSLContextRep to hide members from the users of 
 272                   SSLContext. Also included CertificateInfo in SSLContext files and 
 273                   removed the CertificateInfo files, so that the client SDK can only
 274                   need to include SSLContext.h for the client apps to use.

 299                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 300                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 301                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the

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

 338                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 339                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 340                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 341                   for remote clients.
 342 karl    1.66  
 343 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 344                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 345                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 346                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 347                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 348                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 349                   values.
 350               
 351                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 352               
 353                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 354                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 355                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 356                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 357                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 358                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 359               
 360                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 361                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 362                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 363                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 364 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 365                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 366                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 367                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 368                   specified in the method definition.
 369               
 370                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 371               
 372                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 373                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 374                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 375                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 376                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 377                   correct type rather than as a String.
 378               
 379                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 380                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 381                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 382                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 383                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 384                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 385 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 386               
 387                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 388                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 389                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 390               
 391                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 392               
 393                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 394                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 395                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 396                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 397                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 398               
 399                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 400                   clean-up, which I completed.
 401               
 402                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 403               
 404                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 405                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 406 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 407                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 408                   the specified value to that property's type.
 409               
 410                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 411                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 412                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 413                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 414               
 415                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 416                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 417                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 418                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 419                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 420                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 421               
 422 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 423                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 424                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 425                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 426                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 427                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 428                   encoding of parameter values.
 429               
 430                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 431                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 432                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 433                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 434                   have defaulted to String type.

 438 karl    1.72    
 439 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 440                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 441                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 442                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 443                   the server.

 447                  
 448 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 449                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 450                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 451                   operations.
 452               
 453                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 455               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 456                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 457 karl    1.76      
 458 kumpf   1.68  
 459 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 460                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 461                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 462                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 463                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 464                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 465                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 466               
 467                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 468                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 469                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 470                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 471                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 472                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 473                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 474                   a single buffer.
 475               
 476                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 477                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 478                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 479                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 480 kumpf   1.75  
 481               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 482                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 483                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 484                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 485               
 486                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 487                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are

 490               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 491                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 492                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.

 494 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 495                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 496               
 497                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 498                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 499                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 500                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 501               
 502                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 503               
 504                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 505               
 506                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 507               
 508                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 509               
 510                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 511                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 512                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 513                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 514                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 515 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 516                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 517                   rather than in the constructor.
 518               
 519                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 520                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 521                   included in the Pegasus build.
 522 kumpf   1.79  
 523 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 524                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 525 kumpf   1.75  
 526 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 527                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 528                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 529                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 530                   for that purpose.   
 531               
 532                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 533               
 534                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 535                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 536                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 537                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 538                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 539               
 540                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 541               
 542                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 543                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 544                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 545               
 546                     (ex.)
 547 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 548                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 549               
 550                     or use the following new macro:
 551                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 552                   
 553 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 554 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 555               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 556               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 557               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 558               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 559 ramnath 1.81  
 560               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 561               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 562               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 563               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 564               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 565               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 566               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 567               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 568 ramnath 1.80  
 569 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 570               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 571               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 572               	in the Windows service work thread.
 573               
 574 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 575                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 576               	executable
 577                      
 578               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 579                       executable. 
 580 kumpf   1.84  
 581               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 582                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 583                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 584                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 585                   an integer of the specified size.
 586               
 587 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 588                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 589               
 590 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 591                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 592                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 593                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 594               
 595 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 596                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 597 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 598 karl    1.88  	
 599               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 600                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 601                   
 602 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 603                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 604                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 605                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 606                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 607                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 608                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 609                   linked into the server.
 610 karl    1.88  
 611 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 612                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 613                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 614               
 615 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 616                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 617                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 618                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 619                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 620 karl    1.92      
 621               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 622                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 623                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 626 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 627 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 628               
 629               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 630                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 631                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 632                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 633 karl    1.53         
 634               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 635               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 636               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 637               	which is the current file based repository.
 638               	
 639               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 640               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 641               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 642               	in the future.
 643 karl    1.52  
 644 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 645                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 646                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 647                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 648                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 649                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 650               
 651 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 652 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 653                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 654                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 655                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 656                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 657               
 658 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 659 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 660                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 661                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 662                  program.
 663               
 664 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 665                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 666                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 667                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 668                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 669                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 670                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 671                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 672                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 673               
 674                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 675                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 676                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 677               
 678                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 679                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 680                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 681                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 682               
 683                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 684                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 685 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 686                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 687               
 688                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 689                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 690               
 691                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 699               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 700               
 701 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 702                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 703               
 704               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 705 mike    1.51  =======
 706               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 707               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 708               	
 709               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 710               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 711               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 712               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 713               	should not affect any current work.
 714               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 715               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 716               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 717               	
 718               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 719                       on XML output.
 720                       
 721               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 722               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 723               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 724               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 725               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 726 mike    1.51  
 727               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 728               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 729               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 730               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 731               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 732               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 733               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 734               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 735                       
 736               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 737               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 738               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 739               generating debug output.
 740               
 741               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 742               xml when it generates xml output.
 743               
 744               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 745               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 746               repository implementation.
 747 mike    1.51  
 748               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 749               
 750               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 751               
 752               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 753               
 754               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 755               
 756               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.
 757               
 758               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 759                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 760               
 761               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 762               
 763               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.
 764               
 765               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 766               
 767               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 768 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 769                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 770               
 771               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 772                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 773                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 774               
 775               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 776                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 777                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 778               
 779               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 780                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 781                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 782                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 783                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 784                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 785                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 786               
 787                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 788                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 789 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 790                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 791                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 792                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 793                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 794                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 795                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 796                   below:
 797               
 798                   //====================================================================
 799                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 800                   //====================================================================
 801                   [Description (
 802                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 803                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 804                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 805               
 806               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 807                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 808                   a provider library.
 809               
 810 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 811                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 812                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 813                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 814                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 815                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 816                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 817                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 818                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 819                   later). 
 820               
 821                   Also added are two test programs: 
 822               	
 823                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 824                       CIMParamValue class.
 825               	
 826                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 827                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 828                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 829                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 830                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 831 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 832               
 833               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 834                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 835                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 836                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 837                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 838                   and to verify the authentication.
 839               
 840                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 841                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 842                   yet linked into the build.
 843               
 844               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 845                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 846                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 847                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 848                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 849                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 850                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 851               
 852 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 853                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 854                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 855                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 856                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 857                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 858                   provider file path name.
 859               
 860               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 861                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 862                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 863                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 864                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 865                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 866                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 867                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 868               
 869               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 870                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 871                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 872                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 873 mike    1.51  
 874               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 875                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 876                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 877                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 878               
 879               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 880                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 881                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 882                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 883                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 884                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 885                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 886                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 887                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 888               
 889               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 890                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 891                   
 892               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 893               
 894 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 895                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 896                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 897                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 898                   in make files.
 899                  
 900               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 901                   because getting an error in 26
 902               
 903               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 904                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 905                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 906                   tag structure.
 907               
 908                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 909                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 910                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 911               
 912                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 913                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 914                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 915 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 916                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 917               
 918                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 919                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 920                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 921                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 922                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 923                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 924                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 925                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 926               
 927                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 928                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 929                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 930                   reference type.
 931               
 932                   In this example:
 933               
 934                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 935               
 936 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 937                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 938                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 939                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 940                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 941               
 942                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 943                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 944                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 945                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 946                   correctly.
 947               
 948                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 949                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 950               
 951                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 952                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 953                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 954                   CIMOM version.
 955               
 956                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 957 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 958                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 959                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 960                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 961                   definition to determine the key property types.
 962               
 963               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 964                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 965                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 966                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 967               
 968               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 969                   (instanceName).
 970               
 971               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 972                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 973                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 974                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 975               
 976               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 977                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 978 mike    1.51  
 979               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 980                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 981                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 982                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 983                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 984                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 985                   nsk platform links. 
 986               
 987               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 988                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 989                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 990                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 991                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 992                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 993                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 994               
 995                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 996                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 997                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 998                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 999 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1000                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1001                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1002               
1003               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1004                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1005                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1006                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1007               
1008               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1009                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1010                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1011                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1012                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1013               
1014               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1015                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1016                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1017                   be updated to use this class.
1018               
1019               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1020 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1021                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1022                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1023                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1024               
1025               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1026                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1027                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1028                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1029                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1030                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1031               
1032               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1033               
1034                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1035                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1036                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1037                         CIMNamedInstance
1038                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1039                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1040                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1041 mike    1.51  
1042                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1043               
1044                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1045                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1046                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1047                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1048                   functionality.
1049               
1050                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1051               
1052                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1053                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1054                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1055                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1056                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1057                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1058                         the entire instance.
1059               
1060                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1061                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1062 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1063               
1064                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1065                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1066                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1067               
1068                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1069                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1070               
1071               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1072                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1073                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1074                   the DMTF specification.
1075               
1076                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1077                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1078                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1079                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1080               
1081                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1082               
1083 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1084                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1085                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1086                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1087                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1088                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1089                         the entire instance.
1090               
1091                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1092                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1093                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1094                         be used to update the instance.
1095               
1096                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1097                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1098                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1099               
1100                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1101                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1102                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1103               
1104 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1105                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1106                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1107                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1108                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1109               
1110               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1111                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1112                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1113               
1114                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1115                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1116                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1117                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1118                   following command before starting cimserver:
1119               
1120                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1121               
1122                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1123                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1124                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1125 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1126                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1127                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1128                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1129               
1130               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1131                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1132                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1133               
1134               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1135                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1136                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1137                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1138                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1139               
1140                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1141                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1142                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1143                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1144                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1145                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1146 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1147               
1148               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1149                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1150               
1151                   Authentication and User Management:
1152                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1153                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1154                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1155                   generated password file. 
1156               
1157                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1158                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1159                   
1160                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1161                   management and authorization functionality.   
1162               
1163               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1164                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1165               
1166               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1167 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1168                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1169               
1170               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1171                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1172                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1173                 
1174               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1175                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1176                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1177                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1178                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1179                   or change in provider registration.  
1180               
1181               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1182                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1183                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1184                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1185               
1186               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1187                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1188 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1189                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1190                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1191                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1192                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1193                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1194                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1195                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1196                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1197                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1198                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1199 mike    1.50  
1200 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1201                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.

1235                  the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1236                  src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1237               
1238               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1239                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation

1242                  using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
1243                  mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
1244                  is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
1245                  information on running the test script.
1246               
1247 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1248                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1249                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1250               
1251               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1252                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1253                  that
1254                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1255                  password.
1256                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1257                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1258                  build.
1259                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1260                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1313 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1314 karl    1.16  
1315               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1316               for NT and Linux platforms.
1317 mike    1.26  
1318 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1319               5988.
1320               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1321               the DMTF.
1322 mike    1.26  
1323 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1324               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1325               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1326               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1327 mike    1.26  
1328 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1329               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1330               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1331 mike    1.26  
1332 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1333               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1334               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1335               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1336               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1337               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1338 bob     1.20  (grb)
1339 mike    1.26  
1340 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1341               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1342               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1343 mike    1.26  
1344 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1345 mike    1.26  
1346 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1347               modifyClass,
1348 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1349 mike    1.26  
1350 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1351               directory. These
1352               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1353               CIMProviderStub has
1354 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1355 mike    1.26  
1356 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1357 mike    1.26  
1358 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1359               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1360 mike    1.26  
1361               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1362 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1363               
1364               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1365                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1366                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1367                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1368                   (MEB)
1369 mike    1.26  
1370 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1371               
1372 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1373               AssociationName
1374 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1375               pages.
1376               
1377 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1378 sage    1.31  
1379               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1380               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1381               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1382               variables.
1383 mike    1.32  
1384               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1385                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1386                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1387 kumpf   1.34  
1388               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1389                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1390                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1391                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1392                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1393                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1394                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1395 karl    1.35  
1396               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1397                   tests for stack and queue.

1464               
1465 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area

1474               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1475               qualifiers, methods.
1476               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1477               methods.
1478               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1479               qualifiers and to
1480               remove qualifiers.
1481               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1482               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1483 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1484               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1485               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1486               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1487               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
