   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="". 
 279               
 280 kumpf   1.140 47. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Modified CIM Server and Client
 281                   API to lookup port number from services. CIM Server uses default port
 282                   number (5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS) if no port number is configured 
 283                   and no port is specified in the configuration file. CIMClient's connectLocal()
 284                   method is modified to try and connect to HTTP port, if failed then try and
 285                   connect to HTTPS port.
 286               
 287 kumpf   1.141 48. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 May 2002: Fixed a problem in repository related
 288                   to rollback failure. 
 289               
 290 sage    1.142 49. (MM) 23 May 2002 - Added ProviderAdapter support
 291                   The ProviderAdapterManager loads an additional Adapter library in 
 292                   case of a non-default interfaceName. This Adapter library has to offer a
 293                   factory callback PegasusCreateProviderAdapter() in analogy to the
 294                   CIMBaseProvider - an example, the AdapterSkeleton, can be found in 
 295                   src/Providers/generic/CMPIAdapter/

 319                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 320                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 321                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 322                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 323                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 324                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.

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

 344 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 345 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 346               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 347               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 348               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.

 359                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 360                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 361                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 362                   for remote clients.
 363 karl    1.66  
 364 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 365                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 366                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 367                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 368                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 369                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 370                   values.
 371               
 372                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 373               
 374                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 375                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 376                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 377                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 378                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 379                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 380               
 381                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 382                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 383                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 384                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 385 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 386                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 387                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 388                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 389                   specified in the method definition.
 390               
 391                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 392               
 393                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 394                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 395                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 396                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 397                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 398                   correct type rather than as a String.
 399               
 400                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 401                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 402                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 403                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 404                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 405                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 406 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 407               
 408                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 409                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 410                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 411               
 412                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 413               
 414                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 415                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 416                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 417                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 418                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 419               
 420                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 421                   clean-up, which I completed.
 422               
 423                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 424               
 425                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 426                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 427 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 428                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 429                   the specified value to that property's type.
 430               
 431                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 432                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 433                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 434                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 435               
 436                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 437                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 438                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 439                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 440                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 441                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 442               
 443 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 444                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 445                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 446                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 447                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 448                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 449                   encoding of parameter values.
 450               
 451                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 452                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 453                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 454                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 455                   have defaulted to String type.

 459 karl    1.72    
 460 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 461                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 462                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 463                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 464                   the server.

 468                  
 469 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 470                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 471                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 472                   operations.

 479 kumpf   1.68  
 480 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 481                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 482                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 483                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 484                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 485                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 486                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 487               
 488                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 489                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 490                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 491                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 492                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 493                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 494                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 495                   a single buffer.
 496               
 497                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 498                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 499                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 500                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 501 kumpf   1.75  
 502               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 503                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 504                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 505                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 506               
 507                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 508                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 509                   validated.

 511               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 512                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 513                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 514 karl    1.78      
 515 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 516                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 517               
 518                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 519                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 520                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 521                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 522               
 523                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 524               
 525                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 526               
 527                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 528               
 529                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 530               
 531                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 532                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 533                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 534                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 535                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 536 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 537                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 538                   rather than in the constructor.
 539               
 540                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 541                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 542                   included in the Pegasus build.
 543 kumpf   1.79  
 544 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 545                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 546 kumpf   1.75  
 547 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 548                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 549                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 550                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 551                   for that purpose.   
 552               
 553                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 554               
 555                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 556                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 557                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 558                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 559                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 560               
 561                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 562               
 563                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 564                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 565                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 566               
 567                     (ex.)
 568 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 569                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 570               
 571                     or use the following new macro:
 572                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 573                   
 574 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 575 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 576               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 577               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 578               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 579               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 580 ramnath 1.81  
 581               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 582               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 583               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 584               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 585               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 586               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 587               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 588               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 589 ramnath 1.80  
 590 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 591               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 592               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 593               	in the Windows service work thread.
 594               
 595 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 596                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 597               	executable
 598                      
 599               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 600                       executable. 
 601 kumpf   1.84  
 602               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 603                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 604                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 605                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 606                   an integer of the specified size.
 607               
 608 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 609                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 610               
 611 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 612                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 613                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 614                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 615               
 616 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 617                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 618 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 619 karl    1.88  	
 620               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 621                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 622                   
 623 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 624                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 625                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 626                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 627                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 628                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 629                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 630                   linked into the server.
 631 karl    1.88  
 632 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 633                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 634                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 635               
 636 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 637                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 638                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 639                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 640                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 641 karl    1.92      
 642               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 643                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 644                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 646 kumpf   1.91  
 647 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 648 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 649               
 650               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 651                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 652                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 653                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 654 karl    1.53         
 655               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 656               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 657               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 658               	which is the current file based repository.
 659               	
 660               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 661               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 662               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 663               	in the future.
 664 karl    1.52  
 665 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 666                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 667                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 668                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 669                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 670                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 671               
 672 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 673 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 674                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 675                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 676                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 677                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 678               
 679 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 680 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 681                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 682                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 683                  program.
 684               
 685 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 686                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 687                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 688                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 689                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 690                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 691                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 692                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 693                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 694               
 695                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 696                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 697                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 698               
 699                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 700                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 701                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 702                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 703               
 704                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 705                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 706 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 707                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 708               
 709                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 710                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 711               
 712                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 721               
 722 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 723                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 724               
 725               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 726 mike    1.51  =======
 727               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 728               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 729               	
 730               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 731               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 732               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 733               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 734               	should not affect any current work.
 735               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 736               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 737               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 738               	
 739               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 740                       on XML output.
 741                       
 742               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 743               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 744               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 745               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 746               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 747 mike    1.51  
 748               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 749               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 750               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 751               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 752               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 753               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 754               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 755               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 756                       
 757               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 758               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 759               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 760               generating debug output.
 761               
 762               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 763               xml when it generates xml output.
 764               
 765               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 766               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 767               repository implementation.
 768 mike    1.51  
 769               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 770               
 771               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 772               
 773               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 774               
 775               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 776               
 777               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.
 778               
 779               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 780                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 781               
 782               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 783               
 784               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.
 785               
 786               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 787               
 788               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 789 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 790                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 791               
 792               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 793                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 794                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 795               
 796               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 797                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 798                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 799               
 800               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 801                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 802                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 803                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 804                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 805                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 806                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 807               
 808                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 809                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 810 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 811                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 812                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 813                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 814                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 815                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 816                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 817                   below:
 818               
 819                   //====================================================================
 820                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 821                   //====================================================================
 822                   [Description (
 823                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 824                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 825                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 826               
 827               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 828                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 829                   a provider library.
 830               
 831 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 832                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 833                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 834                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 835                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 836                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 837                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 838                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 839                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 840                   later). 
 841               
 842                   Also added are two test programs: 
 843               	
 844                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 845                       CIMParamValue class.
 846               	
 847                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 848                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 849                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 850                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 851                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 852 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 853               
 854               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 855                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 856                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 857                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 858                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 859                   and to verify the authentication.
 860               
 861                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 862                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 863                   yet linked into the build.
 864               
 865               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 866                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 867                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 868                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 869                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 870                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 871                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 872               
 873 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 874                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 875                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 876                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 877                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 878                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 879                   provider file path name.
 880               
 881               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 882                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 883                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 884                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 885                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 886                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 887                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 888                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 889               
 890               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 891                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 892                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 893                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 894 mike    1.51  
 895               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 896                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 897                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 898                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 899               
 900               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 901                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 902                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 903                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 904                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 905                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 906                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 907                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 908                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 909               
 910               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 911                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 912                   
 913               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 914               
 915 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 916                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 917                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 918                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 919                   in make files.
 920                  
 921               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 922                   because getting an error in 26
 923               
 924               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 925                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 926                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 927                   tag structure.
 928               
 929                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 930                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 931                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 932               
 933                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 934                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 935                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 936 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 937                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 938               
 939                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 940                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 941                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 942                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 943                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 944                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 945                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 946                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 947               
 948                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 949                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 950                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 951                   reference type.
 952               
 953                   In this example:
 954               
 955                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 956               
 957 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 958                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 959                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 960                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 961                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 962               
 963                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 964                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 965                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 966                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 967                   correctly.
 968               
 969                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 970                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 971               
 972                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 973                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 974                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 975                   CIMOM version.
 976               
 977                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 978 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 979                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 980                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 981                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 982                   definition to determine the key property types.
 983               
 984               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 985                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 986                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 987                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 988               
 989               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 990                   (instanceName).
 991               
 992               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 993                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 994                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 995                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 996               
 997               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 998                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 999 mike    1.51  
1000               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1001                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1002                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1003                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1004                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1005                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1006                   nsk platform links. 
1007               
1008               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1009                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1010                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1011                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1012                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1013                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1014                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1015               
1016                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1017                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1018                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1019                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1020 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1021                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1022                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1023               
1024               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1025                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1026                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1027                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1028               
1029               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1030                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1031                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1032                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1033                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1034               
1035               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1036                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1037                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1038                   be updated to use this class.
1039               
1040               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1041 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1042                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1043                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1044                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1045               
1046               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1047                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1048                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1049                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1050                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1051                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1052               
1053               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1054               
1055                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1056                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1057                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1058                         CIMNamedInstance
1059                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1060                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1061                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1062 mike    1.51  
1063                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1064               
1065                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1066                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1067                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1068                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1069                   functionality.
1070               
1071                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1072               
1073                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1074                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1075                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1076                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1077                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1078                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1079                         the entire instance.
1080               
1081                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1082                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1083 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1084               
1085                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1086                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1087                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1088               
1089                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1090                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1091               
1092               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1093                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1094                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1095                   the DMTF specification.
1096               
1097                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1098                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1099                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1100                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1101               
1102                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1103               
1104 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1105                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1106                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1107                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1108                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1109                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1110                         the entire instance.
1111               
1112                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1113                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1114                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1115                         be used to update the instance.
1116               
1117                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1118                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1119                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1120               
1121                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1122                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1123                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1124               
1125 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1126                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1127                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1128                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1129                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1130               
1131               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1132                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1133                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1134               
1135                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1136                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1137                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1138                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1139                   following command before starting cimserver:
1140               
1141                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1142               
1143                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1144                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1145                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1146 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1147                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1148                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1149                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1150               
1151               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1152                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1153                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1154               
1155               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1156                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1157                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1158                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1159                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1160               
1161                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1162                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1163                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1164                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1165                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1166                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1167 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1168               
1169               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1170                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1171               
1172                   Authentication and User Management:
1173                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1174                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1175                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1176                   generated password file. 
1177               
1178                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1179                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1180                   
1181                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1182                   management and authorization functionality.   
1183               
1184               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1185                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1186               
1187               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1188 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1189                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1190               
1191               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1192                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1193                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1194                 
1195               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1196                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1197                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1198                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1199                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1200                   or change in provider registration.  
1201               
1202               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1203                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1204                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1205                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1206               
1207               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1208                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1209 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1210                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1211                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1212                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1213                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1214                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1215                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1216                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1217                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1218                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1219                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1220 mike    1.50  
1221 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1222                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1223               
1224               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1256                  the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1257                  src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1258               
1259               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1260                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1261                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

1263                  using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
1264                  mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
1265                  is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
1266                  information on running the test script.
1267               
1268 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1269                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1270                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1271               
1272               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1273                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1274                  that
1275                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1276                  password.
1277                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1278                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1279                  build.
1280                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1281                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1334 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1335 karl    1.16  
1336               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1337               for NT and Linux platforms.
1338 mike    1.26  
1339 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1340               5988.
1341               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1342               the DMTF.
1343 mike    1.26  
1344 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1345               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1346               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1347               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1348 mike    1.26  
1349 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1350               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1351               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1352 mike    1.26  
1353 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1354               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1355               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1356               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1357               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1358               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1359 bob     1.20  (grb)
1360 mike    1.26  
1361 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1362               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1363               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1364 mike    1.26  
1365 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1366 mike    1.26  
1367 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1368               modifyClass,
1369 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1370 mike    1.26  
1371 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1372               directory. These
1373               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1374               CIMProviderStub has
1375 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1376 mike    1.26  
1377 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1378 mike    1.26  
1379 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1380               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1381 mike    1.26  
1382               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1383 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1384               
1385               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1386                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1387                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1388                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1389                   (MEB)
1390 mike    1.26  
1391 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1392               
1393 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1394               AssociationName
1395 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1396               pages.
1397               
1398 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1399 sage    1.31  
1400               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1401               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1402               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1403               variables.
1404 mike    1.32  
1405               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1406                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1407                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1408 kumpf   1.34  
1409               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1410                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1411                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1412                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1413                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1414                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1415                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1416 karl    1.35  
1417               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1418                   tests for stack and queue.

1482 karl    1.5   
1483 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1484               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1485               
1486 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1487               of dynamic lib loaading.

1493 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1494 karl    1.1   
1495               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1496               qualifiers, methods.
1497               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1498               methods.
1499               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1500               qualifiers and to
1501               remove qualifiers.
1502               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1503               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1504 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1505               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1506               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1507               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1508               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
