1 karl 1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
2 karl 1.59
3 karl 1.95 Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002 4 TAG: Version_1_09. 5 6 1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot. 7
8 kumpf 1.96 2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage 9 class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a 10 CIMStatusCode and String description. This allows extra information in 11 a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried 12 internally throughout the system. 13 14 This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted 15 to an error code and description to be written out in XML. This 16 single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the 17 error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace 18 errors that get returned to clients. In particular, client applications 19 currently see messages that contain redundant error code information, 20 such as: 21 22 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed 23 to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One 24 or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid: 25 "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus""" 26 27 The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant 28 information to be eliminated from the messages.
29 karl 1.97 30 3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime 31 after roger fixed timevalue.
32 kumpf 1.96
33 kumpf 1.98 4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 34
35 kumpf 1.99 5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.
36 kumpf 1.100 Update master result file of wbemexec CLI tests.
37 kumpf 1.99
38 ramnath 1.101 6. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 8 Apr 2002 - Modified a libraries.mak file in the src/Pegasus/Security/Authentication/tests directory in order to fix the 39 build on Tru64. 40
41 kumpf 1.102 7. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Apr 2002 - The RETURNVALUE and IRETURNVALUE elements 42 of the XML encoding of operation responses had been treated as mandatory. 43 The client response decoder has been updated to make those elements 44 optional for operations that do not require a return value. The server 45 response encoder has been updated not to include those elements when the 46 request does not include a return value. 47
48 kumpf 1.103 8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 9 Apr 2002 - Updated the Instance, Association, and 49 Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String> 50 for the propertyList parameters. All providers that implement a method 51 with a propertyList parameter must be modified in accordance with this 52 change. All providers linked into the Pegasus build have been updated. 53
54 kumpf 1.105 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be
55 kumpf 1.104 returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned. 56 Added a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.
57 kumpf 1.105 58 10. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName() 59 method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition 60 from all the subclasses. To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets 61 the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to 62 the MessageQueue constructor was removed. Constants were defined in 63 Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus. The 64 places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also 65 changed to use the constants.
66 kumpf 1.104
67 kumpf 1.106 11. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTPError exception to 68 report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications. Added 69 an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error 70 response. Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to 71 process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages. 72 Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an 73 HTTP error. This functionality required fundamental changes in the 74 way CIMClient processes messages. It can no longer search its queue 75 for a message of the expected type. Instead, is assumes that no 76 messages should be on its queue unless it has sent a request to the 77 encoder. In that case, it assumes that any message on its queue is 78 the response to that request. 79
80 kumpf 1.107 12. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Extended versioning strategy 81 to allow platform-specific version strings. 82
83 kumpf 1.108 13. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Renamed shared library for 84 ManagedSystem/OperatingSystem provider so that it would not 85 conflict with library name of generic/OperatingSystem provider. 86
87 kumpf 1.109 14. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Added compile flags _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD flags for platform_HPUX_PARISC_ACC. 88
89 kumpf 1.108
90 kumpf 1.110 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Feb 2002 - HP-Nag: Added PAM based user 91 authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix 92 platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting 93 the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION." 94
95 kumpf 1.111 16. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented static methods 96 Uint64 getDifference(CIMDateTime, CIMDateTime), to get the difference 97 between two CIMDateTimes and CIMDateTime getCurrentDateTime(), to return 98 the current date time as CIMDateTime in the CIMDateTime class. Also added 99 method Boolean isInterval(), to check if the CIMDateTime object is an 100 interval. 101
102 kumpf 1.112 17. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Improved Consumer interface with 103 indications. Now indications can be displayed using sample 104 DisplayConsumer. To test, create Handler with destination as 105 localhost:5988/logicalname. Create a file consumer_list.dat in your 106 PEGASUS_HOME directory and then ass entry as follows: 107 logicalname = DisplayConsumer 108 This will help ConsumerTable to load the DisplayConsumer to consume 109 the indication passed through ExportServer (CIMExportRequestDispathcer). 110
111 kumpf 1.113 18. (Yi Zhou - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented sending message of provider 112 registration notification to subscription service. 113
114 kumpf 1.114 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 Apr 2002 - Defined an exception hierarchy for 115 CIMClient API users. All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now 116 subclasses of CIMClientException. The CIMClient methods are defined 117 as throwing CIMClientException, which will allow the actual exceptions 118 thrown to change without changing the method signatures. It also makes 119 it more clear to the client application which exceptions need to be 120 handled. 121 122 A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well. 123 This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM 124 operation response decoder to the CIMClient. Previously, several 125 classes of exceptions were being dropped in the decoder. New 126 CIMClientException subclasses have been defined to model these 127 exceptions. These changes allow decoding exceptions to be passed 128 back to the client application. Examples are unparsable HTTP 129 responses, malformed XML, and mismatched CIM responses (message ID, 130 message type). 131 132 The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been 133 updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.
134 karl 1.115
135 kumpf 1.118 20. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 -Incorporated tomof client into the build. Includes
136 karl 1.115 usage and help. 137 This program outputs mof or xml from repository either as a client 138 or direct to the repository. 139
140 kumpf 1.118 21. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 - Changed all FIXME, etc. in compiler to ATTN with
141 karl 1.115 priorities.
142 kumpf 1.114
143 kumpf 1.118 22. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - Associator provider handling
144 sage 1.116
145 kumpf 1.118 23. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - HiRes pegasus_gettimeofday() for Windows needed
146 sage 1.117 for performance statistics.
147 kumpf 1.118 148 24. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Apr 2002 - Removed the "match" code in the 149 String class which had a dependency on the TCL license. Where this 150 code was being used to match HTTP headers, I replaced the call to 151 String::matchNoCase() with specific logic to check for the namespace 152 in an HTTP extension header. For example, if the allowNamespacePrefix 153 argument is true and the search tag is "Tag", HTTPMessage::lookupHeader 154 will match "Tag" and "45-Tag", but not "abcTag". This behavior more 155 closely models the intent of the String match in this case and is 156 therefore more correct.
157 sage 1.117
158 kumpf 1.119 25. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 20 Apr 2002 - Added an instance of 159 PegasusVersion.h to each product component. This was done 160 to support component level version tracking. 161
162 sage 1.120 26. (MM) 22 Apr 2002 - Performance Measurement Implementation 163
164 kumpf 1.121 27. (Susan Campbell - HP) 22 Apr 2002 - Various enhancements and bug fixes 165 to the Managed System OS provider. Rolled in the Linux support from 166 the Linux-specific OS provider and added properties to the HP-UX and 167 Windows OS providers. 168
169 kumpf 1.122 28. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Overhauled the configuration property 170 "unset" functionality. cimconfig now uses modifyInstance with a 171 property list to specify whether the current or planned value (or both) 172 are to be updated. It uses a "null" value to indicate that the value 173 should be unset (reset to default). 174
175 kumpf 1.123 29. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Restructured the configuration 176 property owners to remove redundant code. 177
178 kumpf 1.124 30. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Reimplement wbemexec to use a 179 new WbemExecClient interface based on HTTPConnection instead of the 180 obsolete Channel code. Also add SSL option to wbemexec. 181
182 kumpf 1.125 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Added copy constructors to the 183 CIMMessage subclasses. 184
185 kumpf 1.126 32. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 27 Apr 2002 - Fixed several defects 186 in MOF compiler associated with the handling the initialization 187 of array values.
188 karl 1.127 189 33. (KS) 30 April 2002 - Added Namespace Control Provider. Note that it is 190 not completely tested today and only enumeratenames is guaranteed. 191
192 kumpf 1.128 34. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 6 May 2002 - Reworked the String class. Fixed the 193 places where StrLen() was reading off the end of arrays. Removed the 194 Cat() functions. Moved Open(), OpenAppend(), and GetLine() functions 195 to the FileSystem module. Removed the EmptyStringArray() method. 196 Moved method implementations from header file to source file. Marked 197 the _CString class for internal use only. 198
199 kumpf 1.129 35. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Updated the Logger to log to 200 syslog on the HP-UX platform. 201 202 36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Fixed the method 203 CIMDateTime::getCurrentDateTime() to return local time instead of UTC. 204 Updated the CIMDateTime::getDifference() method to compute the difference 205 between two local times. Also updated the getDifference to compute the 206 difference between two intervals. 207
208 mary 1.130 37. (Mary Hinton) 10 May 2002 - Fixed the problem in the new version of 209 pegasus_gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv)function for the Windows 210 platform. The new implementation was implemented for higher resolution 211 for performance statistics. However, it was causing an intermittent 212 hang in the ThreadPool test on the Windows platform.When (long int) 213 is changed to (__int64), the tv_usec variable of timeval struct has 214 the correct value. 215
216 kumpf 1.131 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - To eliminate the possibility of 217 collisions (and subsequent corruption) when different threads 218 concurrently update the ArrayRep reference count, I added a Mutex 219 to the ArrayRep structure. This Mutex gets locked in the inc() 220 and dec() methods that manage the reference count. 221 222 After adding the Mutex, the "mysterious" memory problems seemed to clear 223 up. This seems like a very good thing. However, note that the addition 224 of the Mutex adversely affects performance (nearly 2:1). I tried using 225 an AtomicInt for the reference count, but that seemed to yield even worse 226 performance on my system. 227 228 Anyone should feel free to optimize the performance of the locking in 229 the ArrayRep structure. Since I believe this locking is required for 230 proper operation, I've added the Mutex for all platforms. Note that I 231 had to comment out the assert statements in internal_dq.h to avoid a 232 circular header file dependency (Array.h->IPC.h->internal_dq.h-> 233 Exception.h->String.h->Array.h). 234
235 kumpf 1.132 39. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - Removed operator int() methods from 236 all CIM* classes. These methods had been causing a number of difficult 237 to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods 238 in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks). 239 240 In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that 241 loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast 242 at will in an effort to match types. I've replaced all instances of 243 the int cast operator with isNull() methods. 244
245 kumpf 1.133 40. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Added SSL Certificate verification 246 code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate 247 information to the client's call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and 248 the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass a call back function. 249 Fixed few display messages in CIMConfigCommand.cpp to show meaningfule 250 messages when CIM server is not running. 251
252 kumpf 1.134 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM::toXml() methods to 253 XmlWriter::appendElement(). Moved CIM::print() methods to 254 XmlWriter::printElement(). 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::appendElement(). Moved 260 CIM::printMof() methods to MofWriter::printElement(). 261
262 kumpf 1.144 43. (Nag Boranna - HP) 16 May 2002 - Implemented SSL handling in
263 kumpf 1.136 CIMClient.cpp for local connection and modified the CLIs to not to pass 264 SSLContext to the client api. 265
266 kumpf 1.137 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that 267 each array has its own ArrayRep copy rather than Arrays sharing 268 ArrayReps and reference counting. 269
270 kumpf 1.144 45. (Nag Boranna - HP) 17 May 2002 - Moved SSLContext class out of
271 kumpf 1.138 TLS files, created SSLContextRep to hide members from the users of 272 SSLContext. Also included CertificateInfo in SSLContext files and 273 removed the CertificateInfo files, so that the client SDK can only 274 need to include SSLContext.h for the client apps to use. 275
276 kumpf 1.139 46. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 17 May 2002 - Fixed the CIMInstanceRep::resolve 277 method to return the correct class origin. Fixed SecurityPropertyOwner to 278 disallow passwordFilePath="". 279
280 kumpf 1.144 47. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 May 2002 - Modified CIM Server and Client
281 kumpf 1.140 API to lookup port number from services. CIM Server uses default port 282 number (5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS) if no port number is configured 283 and no port is specified in the configuration file. CIMClient's connectLocal() 284 method is modified to try and connect to HTTP port, if failed then try and 285 connect to HTTPS port. 286
287 kumpf 1.141 48. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 May 2002: Fixed a problem in repository related 288 to rollback failure. 289
290 sage 1.142 49. (MM) 23 May 2002 - Added ProviderAdapter support 291 The ProviderAdapterManager loads an additional Adapter library in 292 case of a non-default interfaceName. This Adapter library has to offer a 293 factory callback PegasusCreateProviderAdapter() in analogy to the 294 CIMBaseProvider - an example, the AdapterSkeleton, can be found in 295 src/Providers/generic/CMPIAdapter/ 296
297 sage 1.143 50. (MM) 23 May 2002 - New AtomicInt implementation using pthread_spinlocks.
298 kumpf 1.144 299 51. (Nag Boranna - HP) 23 May 2002 - Added config properties 300 'enableHttpConnection' and 'enableHttpsConnection'. Renamed 301 'requireAuthentication' to 'enableAuthentication' and 'requireAuthorization'
302 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. 318
319 kumpf 1.147 54. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 28 May 2002 - Replaced getenv("PEGASUS_TRACE") 320 with Tracer calls. Fixed UserAuthProvider and ConfigSettingProvider to 321 check for user credentials. UserAuthProvider checks whether the user
322 kumpf 1.148 is a privileged user for all operations. ConfigSettingProvider checks 323 whether the user is a privileged user only for write operations.
324 sage 1.143
325 kumpf 1.149 55. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 30 May 2002 - 326 Removed the CIMNamedInstance and CIMObjectWithPath classes. The CIMObject 327 and CIMInstance classes now include a setPath (CIMObjectPath) method. 328 These changes will affect Clients and Providers. A call to the 329 CIMNamedInstance constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMInstance should 330 be replaced with a call to the setPath () method on the CIMInstance, 331 passing the same CIMObjectPath. A call to the CIMNamedInstance 332 getInstance () method should be replaced with the CIMInstance, and a call 333 to the CIMNamedInstance getInstanceName () method should be replaced with a 334 call to the getPath () method on the CIMInstance. A call to the 335 CIMObjectWithPath constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMObject, should 336 be replaced with a call the setPath () method on the CIMObject, passing the 337 same CIMObjectPath. A call to the CIMObjectWithPath getObject () method 338 should be replaced with the CIMObject, and a call to the CIMObjectWithPath 339 getReference () method should be replaced with a call to the CIMObject 340 getPath () method. 341
342 karl 1.95 ======================================================================== 343
344 karl 1.93 Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
345 karl 1.94 TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because 346 of problems with the CVS repository
347 karl 1.93
348 karl 1.95 1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
349 karl 1.93 Tagged CVS 1_08. 350
351 karl 1.94 2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 352 qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
353 karl 1.93 ========================================================================
354 karl 1.59 355 Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002 356 Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc. 357 TAG: VERSION_1_07 358 359 1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07 and tagged file. 360
361 sage 1.60 2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
362 karl 1.59
363 kumpf 1.67 3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner 364 class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository 365 location, Provider location and Consumer location. 366 The default location for these properties continue to be the same 367 as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the 368 Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to 369 return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home. 370 371 For more information look in to the following files: 372 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h 373 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp 374 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h 375 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp 376 377 4. KS - 18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
378 karl 1.62 This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only 379 reset when a value is "set" or copied into them. the XML and MOF 380 also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL. 381 There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when 382 the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
383 karl 1.63
384 kumpf 1.67 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
385 karl 1.62
386 kumpf 1.67 6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
387 karl 1.64 Note that this version of the paper still needs work. 388
389 kumpf 1.67 7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to
390 kumpf 1.65 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 391 method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 392 configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 393 modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface. 394
395 kumpf 1.67 8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
396 karl 1.66 schema directory. The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and 397 will be deleted. 398
399 kumpf 1.67 9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests 400 401 10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
402 karl 1.66
403 kumpf 1.67 11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented 404 checks for privileged user when performing authorization. 405 Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess. 406 This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access 407 for remote clients.
408 karl 1.66
409 kumpf 1.68 12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic 410 method (InvokeMethod) operations. This change involves the addition 411 of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags. This tag 412 allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without 413 having to look up the method definition in the schema. It also allows 414 the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return 415 values. 416 417 PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS: 418 419 Method providers ARE affected by this change. Previously, all input 420 parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type 421 regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method 422 was defined. With this change, providers will now receive input 423 parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client 424 application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema). 425 426 However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client 427 API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute. In this case, the operation 428 processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters 429 and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition. 430 kumpf 1.68 The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the 431 XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider 432 will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not 433 specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type 434 specified in the method definition. 435 436 CLIENT IMPLICATIONS: 437 438 Clients ARE affected by this change. Any output parameters that are 439 returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE 440 attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type 441 sent by the server. Previously, they would have always been of 442 String type. In addition, the return value will be received as the 443 correct type rather than as a String. 444 445 Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the 446 PARAMTYPE attribute. In this case, the client will see a 447 CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type 448 String. Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit 449 PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type. These return 450 values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get, 451 kumpf 1.68 because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues. 452 453 This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through 454 Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other 455 implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute. 456 457 SIDE EFFECTS: 458 459 In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered 460 that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of 461 CIMReferences. This appeared to be an oversight, since method 462 parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences. I've 463 added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class. 464 465 I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant 466 clean-up, which I completed. 467 468 SETPROPERTY CHANGES: 469 470 A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by 471 "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor 472 kumpf 1.68 (currently dispatcher). This is achieved by looking up the 473 relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting 474 the specified value to that property's type. 475 476 The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate 477 inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this 478 extra processing. However, clients can avoid this overhead by using 479 ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty. 480 481 The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type 482 information. Client applications using the Pegasus client API will 483 always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty 484 against any server (Pegasus or not). Clients that require properties 485 to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with 486 a property list) rather than GetProperty. 487
488 kumpf 1.69 13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class. 489 Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this 490 class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue. 491 This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray, 492 and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue. 493 The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML 494 encoding of parameter values. 495 496 An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the 497 behavior outlined in item 12 above. Clients should use the isTyped() 498 method to determine whether the output parameters returned from 499 InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they 500 have defaulted to String type.
501 karl 1.70 502 14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code. 503 Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
504 karl 1.72
505 kumpf 1.71 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 506 username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 507 method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 508 and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 509 the server.
510 karl 1.72 511 16 (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up 512 all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6. 513
514 kumpf 1.73 17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 515 to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 516 indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances 517 operations. 518 519 Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
520 karl 1.74 521 18 (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the 522 definition of CIMFlavors.
523 karl 1.76
524 kumpf 1.68
525 kumpf 1.75 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to 526 eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the 527 nested method call structure. Now, instead of having a method at 528 each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there 529 are separate methods to add the begin and end tags. At the top 530 level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message 531 "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods. 532 533 The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML 534 payload and then again when the HTTP header is added. (Since the 535 HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be 536 constructed until the payload is complete.) It is possible to 537 remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional 538 changes elsewhere in the code. For example, the HTTPMessage class 539 would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in 540 a single buffer. 541 542 Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup. Much of the XML 543 formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter. Also, 544 error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the 545 various encoders and decoders, etc. 546 kumpf 1.75 547 20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the 548 CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate 549 that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent 550 with what is encoded in the XML request itself. 551 552 Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod, 553 CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are 554 validated.
555 karl 1.76 556 21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in 557 qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the 558 Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
559 karl 1.78
560 kumpf 1.77 22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction. 561 Previously, the client application constructed a client API using: 562 563 Monitor* monitor = new Monitor; 564 HTTPConnector* connector; 565 connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor); 566 Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000; // optional 567 568 CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis); 569 570 With this change, the client application now looks like: 571 572 Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000; // optional 573 574 CIMClient client(timeoutMillis); 575 576 The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector 577 constructor. It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a 578 connection rather than of the client API. So instead of adding an SSL 579 context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient 580 connect() method. There are now forms of the connect() method with and 581 kumpf 1.77 without an SSL context. Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector 582 class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method 583 rather than in the constructor. 584 585 NOTE: Client applications are affected and must be updated with this 586 change. I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and 587 included in the Pegasus build.
588 kumpf 1.79
589 karl 1.78 23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field 590 of fixed length arrays to be lost.
591 kumpf 1.75
592 kumpf 1.79 24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT 593 include the source filename and line number in the exception message. 594 However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 595 CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used 596 for that purpose. 597 598 A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class: 599 600 - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer. 601 A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException 602 as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the 603 trace file. This message will include the source filename and the 604 line number of the CIMException originator. 605 606 Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException); 607 608 - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class: 609 A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as 610 input and writes the String to the trace file. 611 612 (ex.) 613 kumpf 1.79 You can issue the following method call: 614 Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed."); 615 616 or use the following new macro: 617 PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed."); 618
619 ramnath 1.81 25. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
620 ramnath 1.80 several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Added 621 one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 622 the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator. 623 This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 624 operator to be "OR"ed.
625 ramnath 1.81 626 26. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 627 Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances 628 of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 629 PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 630 streams. Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a 631 fstream object. Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 632 block detecting a build on Tru64 was used. Added cstdarg and ctime in 633 pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
634 ramnath 1.80
635 mary 1.82 27. (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once 636 again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 637 not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 638 in the Windows service work thread. 639
640 karl 1.83 28. (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a 641 local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 642 executable 643 644 29. (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository 645 executable.
646 kumpf 1.84 647 30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and 648 Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp. Previously, values that were out of 649 range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size. An 650 exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into 651 an integer of the specified size. 652
653 kumpf 1.85 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers 654 in XmlReader.cpp. 655
656 kumpf 1.86 32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 657 Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 658 releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 659 the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes. 660
661 karl 1.88 33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "\| ios::binary" 662 with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
663 ramnath 1.87 InstanceDataFile.cpp
664 karl 1.88 665 34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad 666 enabled the scope and flavors testing. Had been pretty much blocked before. 667
668 kumpf 1.89 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation 669 request messages to provider API calls. Cleaned up the dispatcher and 670 added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the 671 ModuleController. Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the 672 ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control 673 providers working. Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the 674 Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically 675 linked into the server.
676 karl 1.88
677 kumpf 1.90 36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with 678 the ModuleController as a control provider. Moved the UserAuthProvider 679 from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree. 680
681 kumpf 1.91 37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the 682 ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control 683 provider. Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus 684 ControlProviders directory. Obsoleted and removed the 685 Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
686 karl 1.92 687 38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to 688 extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their 689 use. This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc. 690
691 kumpf 1.91
692 karl 1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
693 karl 1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001 694 695 1. Merged back to Main branch. All general development will be in main branch 696 in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments 697 may temporarily be in side branches. 698 Changed cimversion to 1.06. We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
699 karl 1.53 700 2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 701 implementations will be kept to separate them from the 702 repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile 703 which is the current file based repository. 704 705 Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command 706 to remove an existing repository. It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER 707 command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system 708 in the future.
709 karl 1.52
710 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder 711 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are 712 present. If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER 713 exception is thrown. Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the 714 intrinsic methods. If a parameter is specified more than once, a 715 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown. 716
717 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
718 kumpf 1.55 and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder 719 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create 720 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled. 721 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make 722 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher. 723
724 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it
725 mary 1.56 runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 726 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 727 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 728 program. 729
730 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 731 CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed 732 in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher. 733 CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 734 CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 735 CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 736 CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 737 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE 738 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE 739 740 This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving 741 CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 742 IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 743 744 IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration 745 when a new IndicationProvider will get registered. 746 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE 747 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE 748 749 I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication 750 and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate 751 kumpf 1.58 old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 752 plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon. 753 754 There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 755 Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService. 756 757 Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

767 mike 1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating 768 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references). 769 770 2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
771 mike 1.51 ======= 772 1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be 773 seen as part of CGIclient class displays. 774 775 2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version 776 to the final version in Schemas\CIM25. This included minor 777 corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the 778 official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF. This change 779 should not affect any current work. 780 3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas 781 directorys. Note however that today the make repository still 782 loads the 2.5 schema. 783 784 4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers 785 on XML output. 786 787 5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem 788 in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp, 789 RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp). aCC scopes variable 790 declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple 791 "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error. 792 mike 1.51 793 6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 794 dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 795 cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 796 and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 797 were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 798 provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 799 provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 800 to show user friendly error/status messages. 801 802 7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 803 (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected). 804 Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 805 generating debug output. 806 807 8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in 808 xml when it generates xml output. 809 810 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into 811 a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default 812 repository implementation. 813 mike 1.51 814 10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation. 815 816 11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element. 817 818 12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach. 819 820 13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples. 821 822 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. 823 824 15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules. 825 CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder. 826 827 16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete. 828 829 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. 830 831 18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS. 832 833 19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server 834 mike 1.51 interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with 835 a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information. 836 837 20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files 838 CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 839 input and output can be written in a trace file. 840 841 21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support 842 Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and 843 deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !). 844 845 22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and 846 ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample 847 consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the 848 indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete 849 implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and 850 RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files 851 are modified to implement above messages. 852 853 XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete 854 operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication 855 mike 1.51 instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the 856 indication to consumer. This program needs 857 src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 858 and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded 859 in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test 860 program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and 861 modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as 862 below: 863 864 //==================================================================== 865 // CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP 866 //==================================================================== 867 [Description ( 868 "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for " 869 "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML " 870 "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ] 871 872 23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in 873 ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading 874 a provider library. 875 876 mike 1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod 877 interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as 878 type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give 879 information about param name, type and value. This should be changed 880 to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the 881 parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod 882 call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while 883 travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of 884 CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed 885 later). 886 887 Also added are two test programs: 888 889 src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of 890 CIMParamValue class. 891 892 src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to 893 InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current 894 implementation assumes that provider had returned true value 895 and outParameters (which are now hard coded in 896 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality) 897 mike 1.51 which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client. 898 899 25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of 900 authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager 901 and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication 902 module has been modified to implement the local authenticator 903 interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests 904 and to verify the authentication. 905 906 A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator. 907 This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not 908 yet linked into the build. 909 910 26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export 911 Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses 912 before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send 913 request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall. 914 New changes collects the Message* as return value from the 915 appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on 916 _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully. 917 918 mike 1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to 919 fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the 920 providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name 921 construction (appending .sl or .so) from 922 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to 923 ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns 924 provider file path name. 925 926 28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication 927 Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class 928 definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap 929 structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file. 930 Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master 931 agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism. 932 Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to 933 implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 934 935 29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to 936 be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating 937 property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the 938 plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library. 939 mike 1.51 940 30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 941 to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given 942 string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 943 Changed the config file defaults for tracing. 944 945 31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq 946 NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files 947 were added: platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak, 948 library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 949 program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered 950 all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now 951 only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and 952 library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 953 File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak. 954 955 32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow 956 commas (,) in the string values of key properties. 957 958 33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6 959 960 mike 1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in 961 pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for 962 the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced 963 leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required 964 in make files. 965 966 35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 967 because getting an error in 26 968 969 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys 970 whose types are references. These reference values must be 971 treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE 972 tag structure. 973 974 Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values. 975 For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string 976 type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs. 977 978 I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and 979 CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the 980 XML in the proper format. However, making that change required 981 mike 1.51 that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key 982 of String type and a key of reference type. 983 984 I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to 985 allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of 986 reference type. The "official" form uses the same encoding for 987 key values of String type and of reference type, and so it 988 would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up 989 the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the 990 key values. This is clearly too inefficient for internal 991 transformations between CIMReferences and String values. 992 993 The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value 994 for a key of reference type (before the opening '"'). This allows 995 the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or 996 reference type. 997 998 In this example: 999 1000 MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10" 1001 1002 mike 1.51 Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets 1003 the usual encoding. Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R' 1004 is inserted before its encoded value. Note that this algorithm is 1005 recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type, 1006 which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation. 1007 1008 The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry. A new 1009 KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a 1010 CIMReference that are of reference type. This KeyBinding type must 1011 be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave 1012 correctly. 1013 1014 The files that have been modified to make this change are 1015 CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp. 1016 1017 A result of this change is that instances names in the instance 1018 repository will include this extra 'R' character. Thus, you will 1019 need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest 1020 CIMOM version. 1021 1022 Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance 1023 mike 1.51 names (such as might appear in MOF for static association 1024 instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and 1025 therefore unacceptable. It is likely that these points will need 1026 to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class 1027 definition to determine the key property types. 1028 1029 36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 1030 in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner 1031 init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 1032 cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options. 1033 1034 37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 1035 (instanceName). 1036 1037 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of 1038 GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages. 1039 Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all 1040 relevant intrinsic methods. 1041 1042 39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase 1043 ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp 1044 mike 1.51 1045 40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following 1046 files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp, 1047 TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp, 1048 IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of 1049 SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files 1050 (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include 1051 nsk platform links. 1052 1053 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue 1054 toString() method for CIMValues of String type. The old behavior 1055 returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters 1056 replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents. For example, a CIMValue of a"b 1057 would be returned as a"b. The new behavior just returns the 1058 String value directly with no translation. (Note that 1059 CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.) 1060 1061 This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the 1062 repository. CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by 1063 CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to 1064 CIMValue.toString(). GetInstance searches for the instance name 1065 mike 1.51 without UTF-8 encoding of special characters. For GetInstance to 1066 be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name 1067 in that same form, without special character encoding. 1068 1069 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to 1070 the CIMValue class. Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(), 1071 often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml(). 1072 Also added some error handling in the indication handlers. 1073 1074 43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 1075 localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 1076 to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 1077 CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 1078 Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml. 1079 1080 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class 1081 to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values 1082 from EnumerateInstances. The client and provider APIs need to 1083 be updated to use this class. 1084 1085 45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 1086 mike 1.51 source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 1087 of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 1088 functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 1089 String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files. 1090 1091 46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on 1092 the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate 1093 the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests. 1094 Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send 1095 responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation 1096 supports only 'local' authentication mechanism. 1097 1098 47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes: 1099 1100 - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance> 1101 to Array<CIMNamedInstance> 1102 - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to 1103 CIMNamedInstance 1104 - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance 1105 - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the 1106 CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String> 1107 mike 1.51 1108 Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification. 1109 1110 These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider 1111 API. For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the 1112 differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function. 1113 However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added 1114 functionality. 1115 1116 When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible: 1117 1118 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which 1119 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the 1120 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the 1121 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by 1122 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of 1123 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace 1124 the entire instance. 1125 1126 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with 1127 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive 1128 mike 1.51 these instance names, as the standard dictates. 1129 1130 - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the 1131 PropertyList instead of an Array<String>. This change allows 1132 providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list. 1133 1134 Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in 1135 ModifyInstance correctly. 1136 1137 48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance 1138 provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and 1139 ModifyInstance operations. These changes were made to comply with 1140 the DMTF specification. 1141 1142 The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no 1143 plans to do so. Providers written to the original API will 1144 continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity 1145 to take advantage of the features that have been added. 1146 1147 The significant changes to the Provider2 API are: 1148 1149 mike 1.51 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which 1150 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the 1151 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the 1152 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by 1153 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of 1154 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace 1155 the entire instance. 1156 1157 - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance 1158 which they are required to respect. If IncludeQualifiers is 1159 false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not 1160 be used to update the instance. 1161 1162 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with 1163 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive 1164 these instance names, as the standard dictates. 1165 1166 The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated. 1167 However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw 1168 a NOT_SUPPORTED exception. 1169 1170 mike 1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform, 1171 files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to 1172 the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK 1173 platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation 1174 without the standard (std) namespace. 1175 1176 50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration 1177 properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository: 1178 repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName. 1179 1180 Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the 1181 default provider for instance (and association) operations. The default 1182 setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed. To 1183 disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the 1184 following command before starting cimserver: 1185 1186 cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p 1187 1188 The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what 1189 provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a 1190 provider. This is necessary when the repository needs to serve 1191 mike 1.51 instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set 1192 to "false". The default value is "repository". To register the 1193 repository as an instance provider for a class, add a 1194 'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition. 1195 1196 51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to 1197 pass to providers that act as services. This handle provides 1198 service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures. 1199 1200 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in 1201 the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and 1202 PropertyList parameters. Updated SetProperty in the repository 1203 so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly. The repository now 1204 supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance. 1205 1206 Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and 1207 Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and 1208 ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider. Providers 1209 written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new 1210 ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty 1211 operations. Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only 1212 mike 1.51 work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation. 1213 1214 53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the 1215 Security components for authentication and authorization. 1216 1217 Authentication and User Management: 1218 cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal 1219 and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored 1220 in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 1221 generated password file. 1222 1223 cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting 1224 to add/remove/list user authorizations. 1225 1226 User Manager and User Manager Provider components implement the user 1227 management and authorization functionality. 1228 1229 54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory 1230 under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF. 1231 1232 55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider 1233 mike 1.51 which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider. 1234 It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes. 1235 1236 56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h 1237 and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the 1238 NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file. 1239 1240 57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication 1241 subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 1242 CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 1243 classes (from CIM_Events27.mof). The service also takes appropriate action 1244 in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 1245 or change in provider registration. 1246 1247 58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service 1248 and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully. 1249 For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 1250 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf. 1251 1252 59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only). 1253 It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined 1254 mike 1.51 in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional 1255 constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context 1256 structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an 1257 MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences 1258 between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class 1259 is defined even in a non-ssl environment. 1260 How to use it in a Server or Client: 1261 1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space 1262 2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this 1263 SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors 1264 without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1265 mike 1.50
1266 mike 1.51 The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and 1267 cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag. 1268 1269 60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

(Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver 1277 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler 1278 and ExportClient classes. the indication. 1279 1280 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to 1281 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively. 1282 1283 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and 1284 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation. 1285 1286 2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading 1287 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined 1288 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler 1289 and SimpleThread. 1290 1291 3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) Implementation of wbemexec CLI. Please refer 1292 mike 1.51 to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more 1293 information on using wbemexec. A simple test script is included.

Please 1298 refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf 1299 and 1300 src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingUserGuide.pdf for more information on using 1301 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and 1302 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp. 1303 1304 5. (Nag Boranna - HP) Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and 1305 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation 1306 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page 1307 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on 1308 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config 1309 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script 1310 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for 1311 information on running the test script. 1312 1313 mike 1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects 1314 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These 1315 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects. 1316 1317 7. (Bapu Patil - HP) Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local 1318 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients 1319 that 1320 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a 1321 password. 1322 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design. 1323 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main 1324 build. 1325 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be 1326 modified to integrate with the framework.

1379 karl 1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1380 karl 1.16 1381 1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day. This includes code bothe 1382 for NT and Linux platforms.
1383 mike 1.26
1384 karl 1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to 1385 5988. 1386 NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by 1387 the DMTF.
1388 mike 1.26
1389 karl 1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF 1390 Fusion event. THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from 1391 CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF. Not strictly legal but widely used. b). 1392 Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1393 mike 1.26
1394 bob 1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp 1395 and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}. This is the first step in 1396 revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1397 mike 1.26
1398 bob 1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified 1399 Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp. 1400 Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser 1401 files instead of generating your own for a particular platform. This should 1402 prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome 1403 code. The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1404 bob 1.20 (grb)
1405 mike 1.26
1406 bob 1.20 6. Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes. 1407 This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler 1408 to work indepently of the repository. (grb)

1416 karl 1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2 1417 directory. These 1418 interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations. 1419 CIMProviderStub has
1420 chip 1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1421 mike 1.26
1422 sage 1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1423 mike 1.26
1424 karl 1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository. To rebuild 1425 repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1426 mike 1.26 1427 12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1428 mike 1.27 (MEB) 1429 1430 13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported). 1431 Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still. 1432 Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations). 1433 Need to handle deleteInstance(). 1434 (MEB)
1435 mike 1.26
1436 mday 1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD) 1437
1438 karl 1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install 1439 AssociationName
1440 karl 1.29 and ReferenceName functions. This included extensive update to the HTML 1441 pages. 1442
1443 karl 1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1444 sage 1.31 1445 17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed 1446 ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB). 1447 Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment 1448 variables.
1449 mike 1.32 1450 18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(), 1451 References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate 1452 on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1453 kumpf 1.34 1454 19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support 1455 changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries 1456 buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest 1457 change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific 1458 lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile 1459 and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of 1460 these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1461 karl 1.35 1462 20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added 1463 tests for stack and queue.

1472 karl 1.11 Functions added include: 1473 a. Enable trace to log file.
1474 karl 1.12 b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l 1475 is
1476 karl 1.11 trace to log, -t is trace to console). 1477 c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1478 karl 1.12 of these messages in Options class. Also added help print that 1479 prints these things out. However, format not to beautiful.
1480 karl 1.11 d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider. 1481 e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

1526 karl 1.6 23 May 2001 Version 0.97.1 Tags as version_0_971
1527 karl 1.5
1528 karl 1.3 1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object 1529 find functions. Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks). 1530
1531 karl 1.5 2. Port To HP UX. This required a number of changes particularly in the area 1532 of dynamic lib loaading.

1538 karl 1.3 21 May 2001 Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1539 karl 1.1 1540 1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties, 1541 qualifiers, methods. 1542 2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier, 1543 methods. 1544 3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of 1545 qualifiers and to 1546 remove qualifiers. 1547 4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX 1548 compiler. It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1549 karl 1.2 the current compiler. This version of the port produces an excessively large 1550 common module due to template bloat. That problem will be fixed in a future 1551 change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate 1552 by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems. The port has been tested 1553 with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
