   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

 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

 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.
 311 karl    1.146     
 312               53. KS 28 May 2002 - Added heiarchial subclass search of subclasses to 
 313                   enumerateinstancenames and enumerateinstances.  There is a problem
 314                   however with trashing of the requests messages so there is a
 315                   flag LIMIT_ENUM_TO_ONE_LEVEL in CIMOperationDispatcher.cpp that
 316                   causes it to go through all the motions except to request instances
 317                   only for the current level.

 344                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 345                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 346                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the

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

 369 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 370               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 371               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 372               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.

 384                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 385                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 386                   for remote clients.
 387 karl    1.66  
 388 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 389                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 390                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 391                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 392                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 393                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 394                   values.
 395               
 396                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 397               
 398                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 399                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 400                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 401                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 402                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 403                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 404               
 405                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 406                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 407                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 408                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 409 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 410                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 411                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 412                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 413                   specified in the method definition.
 414               
 415                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 416               
 417                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 418                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 419                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 420                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 421                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 422                   correct type rather than as a String.
 423               
 424                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 425                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 426                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 427                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 428                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 429                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 430 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 431               
 432                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 433                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 434                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 435               
 436                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 437               
 438                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 439                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 440                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 441                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 442                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 443               
 444                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 445                   clean-up, which I completed.
 446               
 447                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 448               
 449                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 450                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 451 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 452                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 453                   the specified value to that property's type.
 454               
 455                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 456                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 457                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 458                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 459               
 460                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 461                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 462                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 463                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 464                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 465                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 466               
 467 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 468                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 469                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 470                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 471                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 472                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 473                   encoding of parameter values.
 474               
 475                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 476                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 477                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 478                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 479                   have defaulted to String type.
 480 karl    1.70      
 481               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 482                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 483 karl    1.72    
 484 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 485                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 486                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 487                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from

 490               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 491                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 492                  
 493 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 494                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 495                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 496                   operations.
 497               
 498                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 499 karl    1.74      
 500               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 501                   definition of CIMFlavors.

 503 kumpf   1.68  
 504 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 505                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 506                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 507                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 508                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 509                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 510                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 511               
 512                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 513                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 514                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 515                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 516                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 517                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 518                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 519                   a single buffer.
 520               
 521                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 522                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 523                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 524                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 525 kumpf   1.75  
 526               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 527                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 528                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 529                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 530               
 531                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 532                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 533                   validated.

 535               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 536                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 537                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 538 karl    1.78      
 539 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 540                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 541               
 542                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 543                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 544                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 545                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 546               
 547                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 548               
 549                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 550               
 551                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 552               
 553                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 554               
 555                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 556                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 557                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 558                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 559                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 560 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 561                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 562                   rather than in the constructor.
 563               
 564                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 565                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 566                   included in the Pegasus build.
 567 kumpf   1.79  
 568 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 569                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 570 kumpf   1.75  
 571 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 572                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 573                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 574                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 575                   for that purpose.   
 576               
 577                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 578               
 579                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 580                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 581                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 582                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 583                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 584               
 585                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 586               
 587                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 588                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 589                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 590               
 591                     (ex.)
 592 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 593                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 594               
 595                     or use the following new macro:
 596                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 597                   
 598 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 599 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 600               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 601               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 602               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 603               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 604 ramnath 1.81  
 605               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 606               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 607               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 608               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 609               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 610               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 611               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 612               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 613 ramnath 1.80  
 614 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 615               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 616               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 617               	in the Windows service work thread.
 618               
 619 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 620                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 621               	executable
 622                      
 623               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 624                       executable. 
 625 kumpf   1.84  
 626               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 627                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 628                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 629                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 630                   an integer of the specified size.
 631               
 632 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 633                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 634               
 635 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 636                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 637                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 638                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 639               
 640 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 641                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 642 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 643 karl    1.88  	
 644               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 645                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 646                   
 647 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 648                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 649                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 650                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 651                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 652                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 653                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 654                   linked into the server.
 655 karl    1.88  
 656 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 657                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 658                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 659               
 660 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 661                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 662                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 663                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 664                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 665 karl    1.92      
 666               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 667                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 668                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 670 kumpf   1.91  
 671 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 672 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 673               
 674               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 675                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 676                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 677                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 678 karl    1.53         
 679               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 680               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 681               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 682               	which is the current file based repository.
 683               	
 684               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 685               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 686               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 687               	in the future.
 688 karl    1.52  
 689 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 690                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 691                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 692                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 693                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 694                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 695               
 696 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 697 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 698                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 699                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 700                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 701                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 702               
 703 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 704 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 705                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 706                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 707                  program.
 708               
 709 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 710                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 711                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 712                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 713                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 714                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 715                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 716                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 717                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 718               
 719                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 720                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 721                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 722               
 723                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 724                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 725                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 726                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 727               
 728                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 729                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 730 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 731                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 732               
 733                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 734                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 735               
 736                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 744               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 745               
 746 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 747                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 748               
 749               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 750 mike    1.51  =======
 751               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 752               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 753               	
 754               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 755               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 756               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 757               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 758               	should not affect any current work.
 759               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 760               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 761               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 762               	
 763               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 764                       on XML output.
 765                       
 766               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 767               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 768               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 769               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 770               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 771 mike    1.51  
 772               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 773               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 774               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 775               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 776               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 777               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 778               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 779               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 780                       
 781               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 782               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 783               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 784               generating debug output.
 785               
 786               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 787               xml when it generates xml output.
 788               
 789               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 790               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 791               repository implementation.
 792 mike    1.51  
 793               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 794               
 795               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 796               
 797               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 798               
 799               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 800               
 801               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.
 802               
 803               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 804                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 805               
 806               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 807               
 808               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.
 809               
 810               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 811               
 812               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 813 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 814                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 815               
 816               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 817                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 818                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 819               
 820               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 821                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 822                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 823               
 824               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 825                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 826                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 827                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 828                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 829                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 830                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 831               
 832                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 833                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 834 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 835                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 836                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 837                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 838                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 839                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 840                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 841                   below:
 842               
 843                   //====================================================================
 844                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 845                   //====================================================================
 846                   [Description (
 847                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 848                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 849                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 850               
 851               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 852                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 853                   a provider library.
 854               
 855 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 856                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 857                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 858                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 859                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 860                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 861                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 862                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 863                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 864                   later). 
 865               
 866                   Also added are two test programs: 
 867               	
 868                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 869                       CIMParamValue class.
 870               	
 871                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 872                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 873                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 874                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 875                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 876 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 877               
 878               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 879                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 880                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 881                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 882                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 883                   and to verify the authentication.
 884               
 885                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 886                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 887                   yet linked into the build.
 888               
 889               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 890                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 891                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 892                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 893                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 894                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 895                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 896               
 897 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 898                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 899                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 900                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 901                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 902                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 903                   provider file path name.
 904               
 905               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 906                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 907                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 908                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 909                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 910                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 911                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 912                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 913               
 914               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 915                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 916                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 917                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 918 mike    1.51  
 919               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 920                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 921                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 922                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 923               
 924               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 925                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 926                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 927                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 928                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 929                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 930                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 931                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 932                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 933               
 934               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 935                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 936                   
 937               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 938               
 939 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 940                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 941                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 942                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 943                   in make files.
 944                  
 945               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 946                   because getting an error in 26
 947               
 948               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 949                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 950                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 951                   tag structure.
 952               
 953                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 954                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 955                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 956               
 957                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 958                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 959                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 960 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 961                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 962               
 963                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 964                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 965                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 966                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 967                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 968                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 969                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 970                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 971               
 972                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 973                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 974                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 975                   reference type.
 976               
 977                   In this example:
 978               
 979                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 980               
 981 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 982                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 983                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 984                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 985                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 986               
 987                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 988                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 989                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 990                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 991                   correctly.
 992               
 993                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 994                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 995               
 996                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 997                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 998                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 999                   CIMOM version.
1000               
1001                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
1002 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
1003                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
1004                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
1005                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
1006                   definition to determine the key property types.
1007               
1008               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
1009                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
1010                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
1011                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
1012               
1013               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
1014                   (instanceName).
1015               
1016               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
1017                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
1018                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
1019                   relevant intrinsic methods.
1020               
1021               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
1022                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
1023 mike    1.51  
1024               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1025                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1026                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1027                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1028                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1029                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1030                   nsk platform links. 
1031               
1032               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1033                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1034                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1035                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1036                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1037                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1038                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1039               
1040                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1041                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1042                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1043                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1044 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1045                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1046                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1047               
1048               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1049                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1050                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1051                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1052               
1053               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1054                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1055                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1056                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1057                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1058               
1059               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1060                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1061                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1062                   be updated to use this class.
1063               
1064               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1065 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1066                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1067                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1068                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1069               
1070               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1071                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1072                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1073                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1074                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1075                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1076               
1077               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1078               
1079                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1080                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1081                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1082                         CIMNamedInstance
1083                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1084                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1085                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1086 mike    1.51  
1087                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1088               
1089                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1090                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1091                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1092                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1093                   functionality.
1094               
1095                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1096               
1097                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1098                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1099                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1100                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1101                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1102                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1103                         the entire instance.
1104               
1105                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1106                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1107 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1108               
1109                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1110                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1111                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1112               
1113                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1114                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1115               
1116               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1117                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1118                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1119                   the DMTF specification.
1120               
1121                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1122                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1123                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1124                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1125               
1126                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1127               
1128 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1129                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1130                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1131                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1132                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1133                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1134                         the entire instance.
1135               
1136                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1137                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1138                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1139                         be used to update the instance.
1140               
1141                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1142                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1143                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1144               
1145                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1146                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1147                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1148               
1149 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1150                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1151                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1152                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1153                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1154               
1155               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1156                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1157                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1158               
1159                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1160                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1161                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1162                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1163                   following command before starting cimserver:
1164               
1165                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1166               
1167                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1168                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1169                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1170 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1171                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1172                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1173                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1174               
1175               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1176                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1177                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1178               
1179               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1180                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1181                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1182                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1183                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1184               
1185                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1186                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1187                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1188                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1189                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1190                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1191 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1192               
1193               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1194                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1195               
1196                   Authentication and User Management:
1197                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1198                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1199                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1200                   generated password file. 
1201               
1202                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1203                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1204                   
1205                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1206                   management and authorization functionality.   
1207               
1208               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1209                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1210               
1211               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1212 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1213                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1214               
1215               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1216                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1217                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1218                 
1219               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1220                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1221                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1222                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1223                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1224                   or change in provider registration.  
1225               
1226               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1227                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1228                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1229                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1230               
1231               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1232                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1233 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1234                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1235                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1236                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1237                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1238                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1239                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1240                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1241                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1242                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1243                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1244 mike    1.50  
1245 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1246                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1247               
1248               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1280                  the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
1281                  src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
1282               
1283               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1284                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1285                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

1287                  using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
1288                  mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
1289                  is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
1290                  information on running the test script.
1291               
1292 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1293                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1294                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1295               
1296               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1297                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1298                  that
1299                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1300                  password.
1301                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1302                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1303                  build.
1304                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1305                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1324               
1325 mike    1.41  3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes.
1326               
1327               4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.
1328               
1329 kumpf   1.40  3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
1330                  allow slp to compile.
1331               
1332 mike    1.42  4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
1333               
1334               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1335                  ids to queue pointers).
1336               
1337 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1338                  and Dispatcher.
1339               
1340 karl    1.48  7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1341               and
1342                  CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1343 chip    1.44     ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

1358 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1359 karl    1.16  
1360               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1361               for NT and Linux platforms.
1362 mike    1.26  
1363 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1364               5988.
1365               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1366               the DMTF.
1367 mike    1.26  
1368 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1369               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1370               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1371               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1372 mike    1.26  
1373 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1374               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1375               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1376 mike    1.26  
1377 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1378               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1379               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1380               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1381               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1382               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1383 bob     1.20  (grb)
1384 mike    1.26  
1385 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1386               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1387               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1388 mike    1.26  
1389 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1390 mike    1.26  
1391 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1392               modifyClass,
1393 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1394 mike    1.26  
1395 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1396               directory. These
1397               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1398               CIMProviderStub has
1399 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1400 mike    1.26  
1401 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1402 mike    1.26  
1403 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1404               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1405 mike    1.26  
1406               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1407 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1408               
1409               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1410                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1411                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1412                   Need to handle deleteInstance().

1415 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1416               
1417 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1418               AssociationName
1419 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1420               pages.
1421               
1422 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1423 sage    1.31  
1424               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1425               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1426               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1427               variables.
1428 mike    1.32  
1429               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1430                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1431                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1432 kumpf   1.34  
1433               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1434                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1435                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1436                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1437                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1438                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1439                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1440 karl    1.35  
1441               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1442                   tests for stack and queue.

1506 karl    1.5   
1507 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1508               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1509               
1510 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1511               of dynamic lib loaading.

1517 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1518 karl    1.1   
1519               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1520               qualifiers, methods.
1521               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1522               methods.
1523               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1524               qualifiers and to
1525               remove qualifiers.
1526               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1527               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1528 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1529               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1530               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1531               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1532               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
