   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.
 244               
 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.
 275               
 276 kumpf   1.139 46. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 17 May 2002 - Fixed the CIMInstanceRep::resolve
 277                   method to return the correct class origin. Fixed SecurityPropertyOwner to 
 278                   disallow passwordFilePath="".

 301 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 302                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 303                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 304                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 305                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 306                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 307                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.

 316 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 317                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 318                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 319                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 320                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.

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

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

 451                  
 452 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 453                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 454                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 455                   operations.
 456               
 457                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 459               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 460                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 461 karl    1.76      
 462 kumpf   1.68  
 463 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 464                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 465                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 466                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 467                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 468                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 469                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 470               
 471                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 472                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 473                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 474                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 475                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 476                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 477                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 478                   a single buffer.
 479               
 480                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 481                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 482                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 483                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 484 kumpf   1.75  
 485               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 486                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 487                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 488                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 489               
 490                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 491                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 492                   validated.

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

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

 630 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 631 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 632               
 633               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 634                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 635                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 636                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 637 karl    1.53         
 638               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 639               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 640               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 641               	which is the current file based repository.
 642               	
 643               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 644               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 645               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 646               	in the future.
 647 karl    1.52  
 648 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 649                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 650                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 651                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 652                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 653                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 654               
 655 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 656 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 657                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 658                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 659                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 660                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 661               
 662 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 663 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 664                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 665                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 666                  program.
 667               
 668 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 669                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 670                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 671                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 672                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 673                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 674                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 675                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 676                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 677               
 678                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 679                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 680                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 681               
 682                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 683                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 684                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 685                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 686               
 687                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 688                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 689 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 690                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 691               
 692                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 693                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 694               
 695                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 703               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 704               
 705 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 706                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 707               
 708               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 709 mike    1.51  =======
 710               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 711               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 712               	
 713               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 714               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 715               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 716               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 717               	should not affect any current work.
 718               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 719               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 720               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 721               	
 722               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 723                       on XML output.
 724                       
 725               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 726               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 727               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 728               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 729               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 730 mike    1.51  
 731               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 732               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 733               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 734               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 735               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 736               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 737               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 738               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 739                       
 740               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 741               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 742               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 743               generating debug output.
 744               
 745               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 746               xml when it generates xml output.
 747               
 748               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 749               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 750               repository implementation.
 751 mike    1.51  
 752               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 753               
 754               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 755               
 756               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 757               
 758               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 759               
 760               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.
 761               
 762               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 763                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 764               
 765               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 766               
 767               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.
 768               
 769               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 770               
 771               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 772 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 773                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 774               
 775               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 776                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 777                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 778               
 779               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 780                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 781                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 782               
 783               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 784                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 785                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 786                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 787                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 788                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 789                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 790               
 791                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 792                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 793 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 794                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 795                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 796                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 797                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 798                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 799                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 800                   below:
 801               
 802                   //====================================================================
 803                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 804                   //====================================================================
 805                   [Description (
 806                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 807                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 808                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 809               
 810               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 811                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 812                   a provider library.
 813               
 814 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 815                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 816                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 817                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 818                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 819                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 820                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 821                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 822                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 823                   later). 
 824               
 825                   Also added are two test programs: 
 826               	
 827                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 828                       CIMParamValue class.
 829               	
 830                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 831                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 832                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 833                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 834                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 835 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 836               
 837               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 838                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 839                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 840                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 841                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 842                   and to verify the authentication.
 843               
 844                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 845                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 846                   yet linked into the build.
 847               
 848               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 849                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 850                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 851                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 852                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 853                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 854                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 855               
 856 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 857                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 858                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 859                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 860                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 861                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 862                   provider file path name.
 863               
 864               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 865                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 866                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 867                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 868                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 869                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 870                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 871                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 872               
 873               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 874                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 875                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 876                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 877 mike    1.51  
 878               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 879                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 880                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 881                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 882               
 883               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 884                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 885                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 886                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 887                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 888                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 889                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 890                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 891                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 892               
 893               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 894                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 895                   
 896               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 897               
 898 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 899                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 900                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 901                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 902                   in make files.
 903                  
 904               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 905                   because getting an error in 26
 906               
 907               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 908                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 909                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 910                   tag structure.
 911               
 912                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 913                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 914                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 915               
 916                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 917                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 918                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 919 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 920                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 921               
 922                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 923                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 924                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 925                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 926                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 927                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 928                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 929                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 930               
 931                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 932                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 933                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 934                   reference type.
 935               
 936                   In this example:
 937               
 938                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 939               
 940 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 941                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 942                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 943                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 944                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 945               
 946                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 947                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 948                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 949                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 950                   correctly.
 951               
 952                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 953                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 954               
 955                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 956                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 957                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 958                   CIMOM version.
 959               
 960                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 961 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 962                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 963                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 964                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 965                   definition to determine the key property types.
 966               
 967               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 968                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 969                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 970                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 971               
 972               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 973                   (instanceName).
 974               
 975               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 976                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 977                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 978                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 979               
 980               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 981                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 982 mike    1.51  
 983               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 984                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 985                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 986                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 987                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 988                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 989                   nsk platform links. 
 990               
 991               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 992                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 993                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 994                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 995                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 996                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 997                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 998               
 999                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1000                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1001                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1002                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1003 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1004                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1005                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1006               
1007               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1008                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1009                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1010                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1011               
1012               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1013                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1014                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1015                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1016                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1017               
1018               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1019                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1020                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1021                   be updated to use this class.
1022               
1023               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1024 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1025                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1026                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1027                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1028               
1029               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1030                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1031                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1032                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1033                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1034                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1035               
1036               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1037               
1038                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1039                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1040                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1041                         CIMNamedInstance
1042                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1043                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1044                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1045 mike    1.51  
1046                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1047               
1048                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1049                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1050                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1051                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1052                   functionality.
1053               
1054                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1055               
1056                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1057                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1058                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1059                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1060                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1061                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1062                         the entire instance.
1063               
1064                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1065                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1066 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1067               
1068                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1069                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1070                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1071               
1072                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1073                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1074               
1075               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1076                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1077                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1078                   the DMTF specification.
1079               
1080                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1081                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1082                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1083                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1084               
1085                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1086               
1087 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1088                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1089                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1090                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1091                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1092                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1093                         the entire instance.
1094               
1095                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1096                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1097                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1098                         be used to update the instance.
1099               
1100                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1101                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1102                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1103               
1104                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1105                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1106                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1107               
1108 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1109                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1110                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1111                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1112                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1113               
1114               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1115                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1116                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1117               
1118                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1119                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1120                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1121                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1122                   following command before starting cimserver:
1123               
1124                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1125               
1126                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1127                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1128                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1129 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1130                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1131                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1132                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1133               
1134               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1135                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1136                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1137               
1138               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1139                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1140                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1141                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1142                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1143               
1144                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1145                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1146                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1147                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1148                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1149                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1150 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1151               
1152               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1153                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1154               
1155                   Authentication and User Management:
1156                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1157                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1158                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1159                   generated password file. 
1160               
1161                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1162                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1163                   
1164                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1165                   management and authorization functionality.   
1166               
1167               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1168                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1169               
1170               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1171 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1172                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1173               
1174               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1175                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1176                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1177                 
1178               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1179                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1180                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1181                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1182                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1183                   or change in provider registration.  
1184               
1185               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1186                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1187                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1188                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1189               
1190               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1191                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1192 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1193                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1194                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1195                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1196                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1197                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1198                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1199                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1200                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1201                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1202                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1203 mike    1.50  
1204 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1205                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.

1239                  the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1240                  src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1241               
1242               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1243                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1244                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

1251 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1252                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1253                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1254               
1255               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1256                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1257                  that
1258                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1259                  password.
1260                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1261                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1262                  build.
1263                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1264                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1292               
1293               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1294                  ids to queue pointers).
1295               
1296 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler

1317 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1318 karl    1.16  
1319               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1320               for NT and Linux platforms.
1321 mike    1.26  
1322 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1323               5988.
1324               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1325               the DMTF.
1326 mike    1.26  
1327 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1328               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1329               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1330               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1331 mike    1.26  
1332 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1333               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1334               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1335 mike    1.26  
1336 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1337               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1338               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1339               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1340               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1341               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1342 bob     1.20  (grb)
1343 mike    1.26  
1344 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1345               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1346               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1347 mike    1.26  
1348 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1349 mike    1.26  
1350 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1351               modifyClass,
1352 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1353 mike    1.26  
1354 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1355               directory. These
1356               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1357               CIMProviderStub has
1358 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1359 mike    1.26  
1360 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1361 mike    1.26  
1362 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1363               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1364 mike    1.26  
1365               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1366 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1367               
1368               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1369                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1370                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1371                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1372                   (MEB)
1373 mike    1.26  
1374 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1375               
1376 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1377               AssociationName
1378 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1379               pages.
1380               
1381 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1382 sage    1.31  
1383               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1384               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1385               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1386               variables.
1387 mike    1.32  
1388               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1389                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1390                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1391 kumpf   1.34  
1392               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1393                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1394                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1395                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1396                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1397                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1398                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1399 karl    1.35  
1400               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1401                   tests for stack and queue.

1465 karl    1.5   
1466 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1467               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1468               
1469 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1470               of dynamic lib loaading.

1477 karl    1.1   
1478               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1479               qualifiers, methods.
1480               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1481               methods.
1482               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1483               qualifiers and to
1484               remove qualifiers.
1485               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1486               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1487 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1488               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1489               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1490               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1491               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
