   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   1.144 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

 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

 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 kumpf   1.145     to 'enableNamespaceAuthorization'. Removed few ATTN's in Authentication code.
 303 kumpf   1.144 
 304 kumpf   1.145 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 305                   the implementation is hidden from clients and providers.  This was
 306                   accomplished by using explicit instantiation of the array template for
 307                   each array type that is supported in the client and provider APIs.
 308                   The array template implementation is still available for use within
 309                   the Pegasus core, allowing implicit instantiation of additional array
 310                   types used internally.

 335                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 336                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 337                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the

 350                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 351                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 352                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.

 375                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 376                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 377                   for remote clients.
 378 karl    1.66  
 379 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 380                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 381                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 382                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 383                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 384                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 385                   values.
 386               
 387                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 388               
 389                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 390                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 391                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 392                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 393                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 394                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 395               
 396                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 397                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 398                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 399                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 400 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 401                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 402                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 403                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 404                   specified in the method definition.
 405               
 406                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 407               
 408                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 409                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 410                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 411                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 412                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 413                   correct type rather than as a String.
 414               
 415                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 416                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 417                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 418                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 419                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 420                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 421 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 422               
 423                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 424                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 425                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 426               
 427                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 428               
 429                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 430                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 431                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 432                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 433                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 434               
 435                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 436                   clean-up, which I completed.
 437               
 438                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 439               
 440                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 441                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 442 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 443                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 444                   the specified value to that property's type.
 445               
 446                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 447                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 448                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 449                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 450               
 451                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 452                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 453                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 454                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 455                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 456                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 457               
 458 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 459                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 460                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 461                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 462                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 463                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 464                   encoding of parameter values.
 465               
 466                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 467                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 468                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 469                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 470                   have defaulted to String type.

 491               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 492                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 493 karl    1.76      
 494 kumpf   1.68  
 495 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 496                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 497                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 498                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 499                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 500                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 501                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 502               
 503                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 504                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 505                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 506                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 507                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 508                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 509                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 510                   a single buffer.
 511               
 512                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 513                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 514                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 515                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 516 kumpf   1.75  
 517               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 518                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 519                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 520                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 521               
 522                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 523                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 524                   validated.
 525 karl    1.76  
 526               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 527                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 528                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 529 karl    1.78      
 530 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 531                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 532               
 533                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 534                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 535                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 536                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 537               
 538                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 539               
 540                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 541               
 542                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 543               
 544                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 545               
 546                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 547                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 548                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 549                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 550                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 551 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 552                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 553                   rather than in the constructor.
 554               
 555                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 556                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 557                   included in the Pegasus build.
 558 kumpf   1.79  
 559 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 560                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 561 kumpf   1.75  
 562 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 563                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 564                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 565                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 566                   for that purpose.   
 567               
 568                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 569               
 570                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 571                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 572                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 573                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 574                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 575               
 576                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 577               
 578                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 579                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 580                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 581               
 582                     (ex.)
 583 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 584                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 585               
 586                     or use the following new macro:
 587                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 588                   
 589 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 590 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 591               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 592               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 593               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 594               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 595 ramnath 1.81  
 596               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 597               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 598               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 599               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 600               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 601               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 602               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 603               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 604 ramnath 1.80  
 605 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 606               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 607               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 608               	in the Windows service work thread.
 609               
 610 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 611                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 612               	executable
 613                      
 614               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 615                       executable. 
 616 kumpf   1.84  
 617               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 618                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 619                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 620                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 621                   an integer of the specified size.
 622               
 623 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 624                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 625               
 626 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 627                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 628                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 629                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 630               
 631 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 632                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 633 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 634 karl    1.88  	
 635               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 636                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 637                   
 638 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 639                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 640                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 641                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 642                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 643                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 644                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 645                   linked into the server.
 646 karl    1.88  
 647 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 648                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 649                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 650               
 651 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 652                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 653                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 654                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 655                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 656 karl    1.92      
 657               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 658                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 659                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 661 kumpf   1.91  
 662 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 663 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 664               
 665               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 666                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 667                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 668                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 669 karl    1.53         
 670               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 671               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 672               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 673               	which is the current file based repository.
 674               	
 675               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 676               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 677               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 678               	in the future.
 679 karl    1.52  
 680 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 681                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 682                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 683                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 684                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 685                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 686               
 687 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 688 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 689                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 690                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 691                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 692                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 693               
 694 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 695 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 696                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 697                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 698                  program.
 699               
 700 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 701                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 702                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 703                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 704                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 705                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 706                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 707                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 708                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 709               
 710                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 711                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 712                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 713               
 714                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 715                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 716                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 717                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 718               
 719                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 720                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 721 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 722                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 723               
 724                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 725                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 726               
 727                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 735               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 736               
 737 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 738                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 739               
 740               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 741 mike    1.51  =======
 742               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 743               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 744               	
 745               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 746               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 747               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 748               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 749               	should not affect any current work.
 750               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 751               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 752               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 753               	
 754               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 755                       on XML output.
 756                       
 757               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 758               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 759               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 760               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 761               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 762 mike    1.51  
 763               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 764               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 765               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 766               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 767               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 768               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 769               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 770               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 771                       
 772               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 773               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 774               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 775               generating debug output.
 776               
 777               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 778               xml when it generates xml output.
 779               
 780               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 781               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 782               repository implementation.
 783 mike    1.51  
 784               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 785               
 786               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 787               
 788               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 789               
 790               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 791               
 792               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.
 793               
 794               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 795                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 796               
 797               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 798               
 799               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.
 800               
 801               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 802               
 803               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 804 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 805                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 806               
 807               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 808                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 809                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 810               
 811               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 812                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 813                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 814               
 815               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 816                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 817                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 818                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 819                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 820                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 821                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 822               
 823                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 824                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 825 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 826                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 827                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 828                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 829                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 830                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 831                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 832                   below:
 833               
 834                   //====================================================================
 835                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 836                   //====================================================================
 837                   [Description (
 838                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 839                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 840                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 841               
 842               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 843                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 844                   a provider library.
 845               
 846 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 847                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 848                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 849                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 850                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 851                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 852                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 853                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 854                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 855                   later). 
 856               
 857                   Also added are two test programs: 
 858               	
 859                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 860                       CIMParamValue class.
 861               	
 862                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 863                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 864                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 865                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 866                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 867 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 868               
 869               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 870                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 871                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 872                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 873                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 874                   and to verify the authentication.
 875               
 876                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 877                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 878                   yet linked into the build.
 879               
 880               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 881                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 882                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 883                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 884                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 885                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 886                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 887               
 888 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 889                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 890                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 891                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 892                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 893                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 894                   provider file path name.
 895               
 896               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 897                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 898                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 899                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 900                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 901                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 902                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 903                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 904               
 905               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 906                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 907                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 908                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 909 mike    1.51  
 910               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 911                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 912                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 913                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 914               
 915               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 916                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 917                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 918                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 919                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 920                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 921                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 922                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 923                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 924               
 925               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 926                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 927                   
 928               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 929               
 930 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 931                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 932                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 933                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 934                   in make files.
 935                  
 936               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 937                   because getting an error in 26
 938               
 939               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 940                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 941                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 942                   tag structure.
 943               
 944                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 945                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 946                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 947               
 948                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 949                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 950                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 951 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 952                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 953               
 954                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 955                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 956                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 957                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 958                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 959                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 960                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 961                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 962               
 963                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 964                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 965                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 966                   reference type.
 967               
 968                   In this example:
 969               
 970                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 971               
 972 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 973                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 974                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 975                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 976                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 977               
 978                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 979                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 980                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 981                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 982                   correctly.
 983               
 984                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 985                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 986               
 987                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 988                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 989                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 990                   CIMOM version.
 991               
 992                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 993 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 994                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 995                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 996                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 997                   definition to determine the key property types.
 998               
 999               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
1000                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
1001                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
1002                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
1003               
1004               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
1005                   (instanceName).
1006               
1007               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
1008                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
1009                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
1010                   relevant intrinsic methods.
1011               
1012               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
1013                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
1014 mike    1.51  
1015               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1016                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1017                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1018                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1019                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1020                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1021                   nsk platform links. 
1022               
1023               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1024                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1025                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1026                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1027                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1028                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1029                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1030               
1031                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1032                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1033                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1034                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1035 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1036                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1037                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1038               
1039               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1040                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1041                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1042                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1043               
1044               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1045                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1046                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1047                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1048                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1049               
1050               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1051                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1052                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1053                   be updated to use this class.
1054               
1055               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1056 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1057                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1058                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1059                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1060               
1061               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1062                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1063                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1064                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1065                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1066                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1067               
1068               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1069               
1070                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1071                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1072                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1073                         CIMNamedInstance
1074                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1075                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1076                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1077 mike    1.51  
1078                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1079               
1080                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1081                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1082                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1083                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1084                   functionality.
1085               
1086                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1087               
1088                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1089                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1090                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1091                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1092                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1093                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1094                         the entire instance.
1095               
1096                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1097                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1098 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1099               
1100                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1101                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1102                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1103               
1104                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1105                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1106               
1107               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1108                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1109                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1110                   the DMTF specification.
1111               
1112                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1113                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1114                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1115                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1116               
1117                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1118               
1119 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1120                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1121                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1122                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1123                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1124                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1125                         the entire instance.
1126               
1127                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1128                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1129                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1130                         be used to update the instance.
1131               
1132                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1133                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1134                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1135               
1136                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1137                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1138                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1139               
1140 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1141                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1142                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1143                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1144                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1145               
1146               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1147                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1148                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1149               
1150                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1151                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1152                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1153                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1154                   following command before starting cimserver:
1155               
1156                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1157               
1158                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1159                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1160                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1161 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1162                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1163                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1164                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1165               
1166               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1167                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1168                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1169               
1170               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1171                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1172                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1173                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1174                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1175               
1176                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1177                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1178                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1179                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1180                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1181                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1182 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1183               
1184               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1185                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1186               
1187                   Authentication and User Management:
1188                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1189                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1190                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1191                   generated password file. 
1192               
1193                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1194                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1195                   
1196                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1197                   management and authorization functionality.   
1198               
1199               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1200                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1201               
1202               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1203 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1204                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1205               
1206               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1207                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1208                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1209                 
1210               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1211                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1212                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1213                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1214                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1215                   or change in provider registration.  
1216               
1217               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1218                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1219                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1220                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1221               
1222               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1223                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1224 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1225                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1226                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1227                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1228                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1229                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1230                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1231                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1232                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1233                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1234                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1235 mike    1.50  
1236 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1237                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1238               
1239               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1271                  the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1272                  src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1273               
1274               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1275                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1276                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

1283 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1284                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1285                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1286               
1287               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1288                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1289                  that
1290                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1291                  password.
1292                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1293                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1294                  build.
1295                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1296                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1317               
1318               4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.
1319               
1320 kumpf   1.40  3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
1321                  allow slp to compile.
1322               
1323 mike    1.42  4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
1324               
1325               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1326                  ids to queue pointers).
1327               
1328 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1329                  and Dispatcher.
1330               
1331 karl    1.48  7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1332               and
1333                  CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1334 chip    1.44     ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

1349 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1350 karl    1.16  
1351               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1352               for NT and Linux platforms.
1353 mike    1.26  
1354 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1355               5988.
1356               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1357               the DMTF.
1358 mike    1.26  
1359 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1360               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1361               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1362               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1363 mike    1.26  
1364 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1365               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1366               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1367 mike    1.26  
1368 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1369               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1370               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1371               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1372               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1373               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1374 bob     1.20  (grb)
1375 mike    1.26  
1376 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1377               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1378               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1379 mike    1.26  
1380 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1381 mike    1.26  
1382 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1383               modifyClass,
1384 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1385 mike    1.26  
1386 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1387               directory. These
1388               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1389               CIMProviderStub has
1390 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1391 mike    1.26  
1392 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1393 mike    1.26  
1394 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1395               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1396 mike    1.26  
1397               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1398 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1399               
1400               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1401                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1402                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1403                   Need to handle deleteInstance().

1405 mike    1.26  
1406 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1407               
1408 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1409               AssociationName
1410 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1411               pages.
1412               
1413 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1414 sage    1.31  
1415               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1416               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1417               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1418               variables.
1419 mike    1.32  
1420               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1421                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1422                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1423 kumpf   1.34  
1424               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1425                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1426                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1427                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1428                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1429                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1430                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1431 karl    1.35  
1432               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1433                   tests for stack and queue.

1497 karl    1.5   
1498 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1499               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1500               
1501 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1502               of dynamic lib loaading.

1509 karl    1.1   
1510               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1511               qualifiers, methods.
1512               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1513               methods.
1514               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1515               qualifiers and to
1516               remove qualifiers.
1517               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1518               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1519 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1520               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1521               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1522               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1523               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
