   1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
   2 karl  1.59 
   3 karl  1.95 Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002
   4            TAG: Version_1_09.
   5            
   6            1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.
   7            
   8 kumpf 1.96 2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage
   9               class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a
  10               CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in
  11               a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried
  12               internally throughout the system.
  13            
  14               This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted
  15               to an error code and description to be written out in XML.  This
  16               single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the
  17               error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace
  18               errors that get returned to clients.  In particular, client applications
  19               currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,
  20               such as:
  21            
  22                   CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed
  23                   to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One
  24                   or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:
  25                   "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""
  26            
  27               The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant
  28               information to be eliminated from the messages.
  29 karl  1.97    
  30            3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime
  31               after roger fixed timevalue.
  32 kumpf 1.96 
  33 kumpf 1.98 4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 
  34            
  35 kumpf 1.99 5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.
  36 kumpf 1.100                       Update master result file of wbemexec CLI tests.
  37 kumpf 1.99  
  38 ramnath 1.101 6. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 8 Apr 2002 - Modified a libraries.mak file in the 	src/Pegasus/Security/Authentication/tests directory in order to fix the 
  39               	build on Tru64.
  40               
  41 kumpf   1.102 7. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Apr 2002 - The RETURNVALUE and IRETURNVALUE elements
  42                  of the XML encoding of operation responses had been treated as mandatory.
  43                  The client response decoder has been updated to make those elements
  44                  optional for operations that do not require a return value.  The server
  45                  response encoder has been updated not to include those elements when the
  46                  request does not include a return value.
  47               
  48 kumpf   1.103 8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 9 Apr 2002 - Updated the Instance, Association, and
  49                  Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String>
  50                  for the propertyList parameters.  All providers that implement a method
  51                  with a propertyList parameter must be modified in accordance with this
  52                  change.  All providers linked into the Pegasus build have been updated.
  53               
  54 kumpf   1.105 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be
  55 kumpf   1.104    returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned.
  56                  Added a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.
  57 kumpf   1.105 
  58               10. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName()
  59                   method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition
  60                   from all the subclasses.  To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets
  61                   the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to
  62                   the MessageQueue constructor was removed.  Constants were defined in
  63                   Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus.  The
  64                   places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also
  65                   changed to use the constants.
  66 kumpf   1.104 
  67 kumpf   1.106 11. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTPError exception to
  68                   report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications.  Added
  69                   an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error
  70                   response.  Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to
  71                   process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages.
  72                   Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an
  73                   HTTP error.  This functionality required fundamental changes in the
  74                   way CIMClient processes messages.  It can no longer search its queue
  75                   for a message of the expected type.  Instead, is assumes that no
  76                   messages should be on its queue unless it has sent a request to the
  77                   encoder.  In that case, it assumes that any message on its queue is
  78                   the response to that request.
  79               
  80 kumpf   1.107 12. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Extended versioning strategy
  81                   to allow platform-specific version strings.
  82               
  83 kumpf   1.108 13. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Renamed shared library for
  84                   ManagedSystem/OperatingSystem provider so that it would not
  85                   conflict with library name of generic/OperatingSystem provider. 
  86               
  87 kumpf   1.109 14. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Added compile flags  _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD flags for platform_HPUX_PARISC_ACC.
  88               
  89 kumpf   1.108 
  90 kumpf   1.110 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Feb 2002 - HP-Nag: Added PAM based user 
  91                   authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix 
  92                   platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting 
  93                   the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION." 
  94               
  95 kumpf   1.111 16. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented static methods
  96                  Uint64 getDifference(CIMDateTime, CIMDateTime), to get the difference
  97                  between two CIMDateTimes and CIMDateTime getCurrentDateTime(), to return
  98                  the current date time as CIMDateTime in the CIMDateTime class. Also added
  99                  method Boolean isInterval(), to check if the CIMDateTime object is an
 100                  interval.
 101               
 102 kumpf   1.112 17. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Improved Consumer interface with 
 103                  indications. Now indications can be displayed using sample
 104                  DisplayConsumer. To test, create Handler with destination as
 105                  localhost:5988/logicalname. Create a file consumer_list.dat in your
 106                  PEGASUS_HOME directory and then ass entry as follows:
 107                  logicalname = DisplayConsumer
 108                  This will help ConsumerTable to load the DisplayConsumer to consume
 109                  the indication passed through ExportServer (CIMExportRequestDispathcer).
 110               
 111 kumpf   1.113 18. (Yi Zhou - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented sending message of provider
 112                  registration notification to subscription service.
 113               
 114 kumpf   1.114 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 Apr 2002 - Defined an exception hierarchy for
 115                   CIMClient API users.  All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now
 116                   subclasses of CIMClientException.  The CIMClient methods are defined
 117                   as throwing CIMClientException, which will allow the actual exceptions
 118                   thrown to change without changing the method signatures.  It also makes
 119                   it more clear to the client application which exceptions need to be
 120                   handled.
 121               
 122                   A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well.
 123                   This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM
 124                   operation response decoder to the CIMClient.  Previously, several
 125                   classes of exceptions were being dropped in the decoder.  New
 126                   CIMClientException subclasses have been defined to model these
 127                   exceptions.  These changes allow decoding exceptions to be passed
 128                   back to the client application.  Examples are unparsable HTTP
 129                   responses, malformed XML, and mismatched CIM responses (message ID,
 130                   message type).
 131               
 132                   The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been
 133                   updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.
 134 karl    1.115     
 135 kumpf   1.118 20. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 -Incorporated tomof client into the build.  Includes
 136 karl    1.115     usage and help.
 137                   This program outputs mof or xml from repository either as a client
 138                   or direct to the repository.
 139                
 140 kumpf   1.118 21. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 - Changed all FIXME, etc. in compiler to ATTN with
 141 karl    1.115     priorities.
 142 kumpf   1.114 
 143 kumpf   1.118 22. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - Associator provider handling
 144 sage    1.116 
 145 kumpf   1.118 23. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - HiRes pegasus_gettimeofday() for Windows needed
 146 sage    1.117     for performance statistics.
 147 kumpf   1.118 
 148               24. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Apr 2002 - Removed the "match" code in the
 149                   String class which had a dependency on the TCL license.  Where this
 150                   code was being used to match HTTP headers, I replaced the call to
 151                   String::matchNoCase() with specific logic to check for the namespace
 152                   in an HTTP extension header.  For example, if the allowNamespacePrefix
 153                   argument is true and the search tag is "Tag", HTTPMessage::lookupHeader
 154                   will match "Tag" and "45-Tag", but not "abcTag".  This behavior more
 155                   closely models the intent of the String match in this case and is
 156                   therefore more correct.
 157 sage    1.117 
 158 kumpf   1.119 25. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 20 Apr 2002 - Added an instance of 
 159                   PegasusVersion.h to each product component. This was done
 160                   to support component level version tracking.
 161               
 162 sage    1.120 26. (MM) 22 Apr 2002 - Performance Measurement Implementation
 163               
 164 kumpf   1.121 27. (Susan Campbell - HP) 22 Apr 2002 - Various enhancements and bug fixes
 165                  to the Managed System OS provider.  Rolled in the Linux support from
 166                  the Linux-specific OS provider and added properties to the HP-UX and
 167                  Windows OS providers.
 168               
 169 kumpf   1.122 28. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Overhauled the configuration property
 170                   "unset" functionality.  cimconfig now uses modifyInstance with a
 171                   property list to specify whether the current or planned value (or both)
 172                   are to be updated.  It uses a "null" value to indicate that the value
 173                   should be unset (reset to default).
 174               
 175 kumpf   1.123 29. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Restructured the configuration
 176                   property owners to remove redundant code.
 177               
 178 kumpf   1.124 30. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Reimplement wbemexec to use a
 179                   new WbemExecClient interface based on HTTPConnection instead of the
 180                   obsolete Channel code.  Also add SSL option to wbemexec.
 181               
 182 kumpf   1.125 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Added copy constructors to the
 183                   CIMMessage subclasses.
 184               
 185 kumpf   1.126 32. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 27 Apr 2002 - Fixed several defects
 186                   in MOF compiler associated with the handling the initialization 
 187                   of array values.
 188 karl    1.127     
 189               33. (KS) 30 April 2002 - Added Namespace Control Provider. Note that it is 
 190                   not completely tested today and only enumeratenames is guaranteed.
 191                   
 192 kumpf   1.128 34. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 6 May 2002 - Reworked the String class.  Fixed the
 193                   places where StrLen() was reading off the end of arrays.  Removed the
 194                   Cat() functions.  Moved Open(), OpenAppend(), and GetLine() functions
 195                   to the FileSystem module.  Removed the EmptyStringArray() method.
 196                   Moved method implementations from header file to source file.  Marked
 197                   the _CString class for internal use only.
 198               
 199 kumpf   1.129 35. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Updated the Logger to log to 
 200                   syslog on the HP-UX platform.
 201               
 202               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Fixed the method 
 203                   CIMDateTime::getCurrentDateTime() to return local time instead of UTC.
 204                   Updated the CIMDateTime::getDifference() method to compute the difference
 205                   between two local times. Also updated the getDifference to compute the 
 206                   difference between two intervals.
 207               
 208 mary    1.130 37. (Mary Hinton) 10 May 2002 - Fixed the problem in the new version of 
 209                   pegasus_gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv)function for the Windows 
 210                   platform. The new implementation was implemented for higher resolution 
 211                   for performance statistics. However, it was causing an intermittent 
 212                   hang in the ThreadPool test on the Windows platform.When (long int) 
 213                   is changed to (__int64), the tv_usec variable of timeval struct has 
 214                   the correct value.
 215               
 216 kumpf   1.131 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - To eliminate the possibility of
 217                   collisions (and subsequent corruption) when different threads
 218                   concurrently update the ArrayRep reference count, I added a Mutex
 219                   to the ArrayRep structure.  This Mutex gets locked in the inc()
 220                   and dec() methods that manage the reference count.
 221               
 222                   After adding the Mutex, the "mysterious" memory problems seemed to clear
 223                   up.  This seems like a very good thing.  However, note that the addition
 224                   of the Mutex adversely affects performance (nearly 2:1).  I tried using
 225                   an AtomicInt for the reference count, but that seemed to yield even worse
 226                   performance on my system.
 227               
 228                   Anyone should feel free to optimize the performance of the locking in
 229                   the ArrayRep structure.  Since I believe this locking is required for
 230                   proper operation, I've added the Mutex for all platforms.  Note that I
 231                   had to comment out the assert statements in internal_dq.h to avoid a
 232                   circular header file dependency (Array.h->IPC.h->internal_dq.h->
 233                   Exception.h->String.h->Array.h).
 234               
 235 kumpf   1.132 39. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - Removed operator int() methods from
 236                   all CIM* classes.  These methods had been causing a number of difficult
 237                   to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods
 238                   in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks).
 239               
 240                   In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that
 241                   loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast
 242                   at will in an effort to match types.  I've replaced all instances of
 243                   the int cast operator with isNull() methods.

 245 kumpf   1.133 40. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Added SSL Certificate verification
 246                   code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate
 247                   information to the client's call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and
 248                   the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass a call back function.
 249                   Fixed few display messages in CIMConfigCommand.cpp to show meaningfule
 250                   messages when CIM server is not running.
 251               
 252 kumpf   1.134 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toXml() methods to
 253                   XmlWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::print() methods to
 254                   XmlWriter::print*Element().  Putting this function in XmlWriter
 255                   instead of the CIM* classes keeps those internal methods out of
 256                   the published client and provider APIs.
 257               
 258 kumpf   1.135 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toMof() methods to
 259                   a new MofWriter class as MofWriter::append*Element().  Moved
 260                   CIM*::printMof() methods to MofWriter::print*Element().
 261               
 262 kumpf   1.144 43. (Nag Boranna - HP) 16 May 2002 - Implemented SSL handling in 
 263 kumpf   1.136     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   1.144 45. (Nag Boranna - HP) 17 May 2002 - Moved SSLContext class out of
 271 kumpf   1.138     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   1.144 47. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 May 2002 - Modified CIM Server and Client
 281 kumpf   1.140     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/
 296               
 297 sage    1.143 50. (MM) 23 May 2002 - New AtomicInt implementation using pthread_spinlocks.
 298 kumpf   1.144 
 299               51. (Nag Boranna - HP) 23 May 2002 -  Added config properties 
 300                   'enableHttpConnection' and 'enableHttpsConnection'. Renamed 
 301                   'requireAuthentication' to 'enableAuthentication' and 'requireAuthorization' 
 302                   to 'enableNamespaceAut horization'. Removed few ATTN's in Authentication code.

 328                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 329                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 330                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the

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

 368                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 369                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 370                   for remote clients.
 371 karl    1.66  
 372 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 373                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 374                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 375                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 376                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 377                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 378                   values.
 379               
 380                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 381               
 382                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 383                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 384                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 385                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 386                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 387                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 388               
 389                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 390                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 391                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 392                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 393 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 394                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 395                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 396                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 397                   specified in the method definition.
 398               
 399                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 400               
 401                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 402                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 403                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 404                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 405                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 406                   correct type rather than as a String.
 407               
 408                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 409                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 410                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 411                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 412                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 413                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 414 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 415               
 416                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 417                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 418                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 419               
 420                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 421               
 422                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 423                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 424                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 425                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 426                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 427               
 428                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 429                   clean-up, which I completed.
 430               
 431                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 432               
 433                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 434                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 435 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 436                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 437                   the specified value to that property's type.
 438               
 439                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 440                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 441                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 442                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 443               
 444                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 445                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 446                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 447                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 448                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 449                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 450               
 451 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 452                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 453                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 454                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 455                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 456                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 457                   encoding of parameter values.
 458               
 459                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 460                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 461                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 462                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 463                   have defaulted to String type.

 470                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server

 488 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 489                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 490                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 491                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 492                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 493                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 494                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 495               
 496                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 497                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 498                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 499                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 500                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 501                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 502                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 503                   a single buffer.
 504               
 505                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 506                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 507                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 508                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 509 kumpf   1.75  
 510               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 511                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 512                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 513                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 514               
 515                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 516                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 517                   validated.
 518 karl    1.76  
 519               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 520                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 521                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 522 karl    1.78      
 523 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 524                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 525               
 526                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 527                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 528                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 529                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 530               
 531                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 532               
 533                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 534               
 535                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 536               
 537                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 538               
 539                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 540                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 541                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 542                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 543                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 544 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 545                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 546                   rather than in the constructor.
 547               
 548                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 549                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 550                   included in the Pegasus build.
 551 kumpf   1.79  
 552 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 553                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 554 kumpf   1.75  
 555 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 556                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 557                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 558                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 559                   for that purpose.   
 560               
 561                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 562               
 563                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 564                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 565                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 566                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 567                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 568               
 569                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 570               
 571                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 572                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 573                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 574               
 575                     (ex.)
 576 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 577                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 578               
 579                     or use the following new macro:
 580                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 581                   
 582 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 583 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 584               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 585               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 586               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 587               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 588 ramnath 1.81  
 589               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 590               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 591               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 592               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 593               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 594               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 595               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 596               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 597 ramnath 1.80  
 598 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 599               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 600               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 601               	in the Windows service work thread.
 602               
 603 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 604                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 605               	executable
 606                      
 607               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 608                       executable. 
 609 kumpf   1.84  
 610               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 611                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 612                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 613                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 614                   an integer of the specified size.
 615               
 616 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 617                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 618               
 619 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 620                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 621                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 622                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 623               
 624 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 625                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 626 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 627 karl    1.88  	
 628               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 629                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 630                   
 631 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 632                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 633                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 634                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 635                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 636                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 637                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 638                   linked into the server.
 639 karl    1.88  
 640 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 641                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 642                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 643               
 644 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 645                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 646                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 647                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 648                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 649 karl    1.92      
 650               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 651                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 652                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 654 kumpf   1.91  
 655 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 656 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 657               
 658               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 659                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 660                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 661                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 662 karl    1.53         
 663               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 664               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 665               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 666               	which is the current file based repository.
 667               	
 668               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 669               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 670               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 671               	in the future.
 672 karl    1.52  
 673 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 674                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 675                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 676                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 677                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 678                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 679               
 680 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 681 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 682                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 683                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 684                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 685                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 686               
 687 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 688 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 689                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 690                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 691                  program.
 692               
 693 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 694                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 695                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 696                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 697                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 698                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 699                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 700                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 701                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 702               
 703                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 704                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 705                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 706               
 707                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 708                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 709                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 710                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 711               
 712                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 713                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 714 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 715                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 716               
 717                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 718                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 719               
 720                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 735               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 736               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 737               	
 738               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 739               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 740               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 741               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 742               	should not affect any current work.
 743               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 744               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 745               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 746               	
 747               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 748                       on XML output.
 749                       
 750               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 751               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 752               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 753               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 754               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 755 mike    1.51  
 756               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 757               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 758               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 759               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 760               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 761               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 762               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 763               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 764                       
 765               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 766               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 767               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 768               generating debug output.
 769               
 770               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 771               xml when it generates xml output.
 772               
 773               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 774               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 775               repository implementation.
 776 mike    1.51  
 777               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 778               
 779               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 780               
 781               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 782               
 783               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 784               
 785               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.
 786               
 787               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 788                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 789               
 790               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 791               
 792               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.
 793               
 794               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 795               
 796               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 797 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 798                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 799               
 800               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 801                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 802                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 803               
 804               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 805                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 806                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 807               
 808               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 809                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 810                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 811                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 812                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 813                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 814                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 815               
 816                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 817                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 818 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 819                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 820                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 821                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 822                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 823                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 824                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 825                   below:
 826               
 827                   //====================================================================
 828                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 829                   //====================================================================
 830                   [Description (
 831                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 832                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 833                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 834               
 835               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 836                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 837                   a provider library.
 838               
 839 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 840                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 841                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 842                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 843                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 844                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 845                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 846                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 847                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 848                   later). 
 849               
 850                   Also added are two test programs: 
 851               	
 852                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 853                       CIMParamValue class.
 854               	
 855                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 856                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 857                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 858                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 859                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 860 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 861               
 862               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 863                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 864                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 865                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 866                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 867                   and to verify the authentication.
 868               
 869                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 870                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 871                   yet linked into the build.
 872               
 873               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 874                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 875                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 876                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 877                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 878                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 879                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 880               
 881 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 882                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 883                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 884                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 885                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 886                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 887                   provider file path name.
 888               
 889               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 890                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 891                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 892                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 893                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 894                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 895                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 896                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 897               
 898               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 899                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 900                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 901                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 902 mike    1.51  
 903               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 904                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 905                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 906                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 907               
 908               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 909                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 910                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 911                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 912                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 913                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 914                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 915                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 916                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 917               
 918               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 919                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 920                   
 921               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 922               
 923 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 924                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 925                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 926                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 927                   in make files.
 928                  
 929               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 930                   because getting an error in 26
 931               
 932               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 933                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 934                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 935                   tag structure.
 936               
 937                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 938                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 939                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 940               
 941                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 942                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 943                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 944 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 945                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 946               
 947                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 948                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 949                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 950                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 951                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 952                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 953                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 954                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 955               
 956                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 957                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 958                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 959                   reference type.
 960               
 961                   In this example:
 962               
 963                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 964               
 965 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 966                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 967                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 968                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 969                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 970               
 971                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 972                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 973                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 974                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 975                   correctly.
 976               
 977                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 978                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 979               
 980                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 981                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 982                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 983                   CIMOM version.
 984               
 985                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 986 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 987                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 988                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 989                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 990                   definition to determine the key property types.
 991               
 992               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 993                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 994                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 995                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 996               
 997               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 998                   (instanceName).
 999               
1000               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
1001                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
1002                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
1003                   relevant intrinsic methods.
1004               
1005               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
1006                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
1007 mike    1.51  
1008               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1009                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1010                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1011                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1012                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1013                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1014                   nsk platform links. 
1015               
1016               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1017                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1018                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1019                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1020                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1021                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1022                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1023               
1024                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1025                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1026                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1027                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1028 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1029                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1030                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1031               
1032               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1033                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1034                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1035                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1036               
1037               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1038                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1039                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1040                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1041                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1042               
1043               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1044                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1045                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1046                   be updated to use this class.
1047               
1048               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1049 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1050                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1051                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1052                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1053               
1054               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1055                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1056                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1057                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1058                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1059                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1060               
1061               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1062               
1063                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1064                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1065                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1066                         CIMNamedInstance
1067                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1068                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1069                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1070 mike    1.51  
1071                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1072               
1073                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1074                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1075                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1076                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1077                   functionality.
1078               
1079                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1080               
1081                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1082                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1083                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1084                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1085                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1086                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1087                         the entire instance.
1088               
1089                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1090                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1091 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1092               
1093                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1094                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1095                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1096               
1097                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1098                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1099               
1100               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1101                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1102                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1103                   the DMTF specification.
1104               
1105                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1106                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1107                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1108                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1109               
1110                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1111               
1112 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1113                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1114                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1115                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1116                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1117                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1118                         the entire instance.
1119               
1120                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1121                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1122                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1123                         be used to update the instance.
1124               
1125                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1126                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1127                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1128               
1129                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1130                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1131                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1132               
1133 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1134                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1135                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1136                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1137                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1138               
1139               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1140                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1141                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1142               
1143                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1144                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1145                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1146                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1147                   following command before starting cimserver:
1148               
1149                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1150               
1151                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1152                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1153                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1154 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1155                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1156                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1157                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1158               
1159               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1160                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1161                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1162               
1163               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1164                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1165                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1166                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1167                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1168               
1169                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1170                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1171                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1172                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1173                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1174                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1175 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1176               
1177               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1178                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1179               
1180                   Authentication and User Management:
1181                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1182                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1183                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1184                   generated password file. 
1185               
1186                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1187                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1188                   
1189                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1190                   management and authorization functionality.   
1191               
1192               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1193                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1194               
1195               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1196 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1197                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1198               
1199               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1200                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1201                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1202                 
1203               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1204                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1205                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1206                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1207                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1208                   or change in provider registration.  
1209               
1210               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1211                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1212                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1213                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1214               
1215               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1216                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1217 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1218                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1219                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1220                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1221                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1222                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1223                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1224                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1225                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1226                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1227                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1228 mike    1.50  
1229 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1230                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1231               
1232               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1264                  the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1265                  src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1266               
1267               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1268                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1269                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

1276 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1277                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1278                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1279               
1280               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1281                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1282                  that
1283                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1284                  password.
1285                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1286                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1287                  build.
1288                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1289                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1317               
1318               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1319                  ids to queue pointers).
1320               
1321 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1322                  and Dispatcher.
1323

1342 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1343 karl    1.16  
1344               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1345               for NT and Linux platforms.
1346 mike    1.26  
1347 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1348               5988.
1349               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1350               the DMTF.
1351 mike    1.26  
1352 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1353               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1354               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1355               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1356 mike    1.26  
1357 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1358               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1359               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1360 mike    1.26  
1361 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1362               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1363               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1364               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1365               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1366               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1367 bob     1.20  (grb)
1368 mike    1.26  
1369 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1370               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1371               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1372 mike    1.26  
1373 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1374 mike    1.26  
1375 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1376               modifyClass,
1377 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1378 mike    1.26  
1379 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1380               directory. These
1381               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1382               CIMProviderStub has
1383 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1384 mike    1.26  
1385 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1386 mike    1.26  
1387 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1388               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1389 mike    1.26  
1390               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1391 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1392               
1393               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1394                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1395                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1396                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1397                   (MEB)
1398 mike    1.26  
1399 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1400               
1401 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1402               AssociationName
1403 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1404               pages.
1405               
1406 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1407 sage    1.31  
1408               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1409               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1410               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1411               variables.
1412 mike    1.32  
1413               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1414                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1415                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1416 kumpf   1.34  
1417               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1418                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1419                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1420                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1421                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1422                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1423                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1424 karl    1.35  
1425               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1426                   tests for stack and queue.

1460               not
1461 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1462               and components of the message causing the problem.
1463 mike    1.33  
1464 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1490 karl    1.5   
1491 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1492               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1493               
1494 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1495               of dynamic lib loaading.

1501 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1502 karl    1.1   
1503               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1504               qualifiers, methods.
1505               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1506               methods.
1507               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1508               qualifiers and to
1509               remove qualifiers.
1510               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1511               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1512 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1513               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1514               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1515               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1516               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
