  10             1. 10 June 2002 (KS) - Add new test function to use command line for
  11                many commands.  The command is CLI. Right now it has no documentation.
  12                
  13             2. (Ramnath Ravindran - HP) 10 June 2002 - Commented out" #define
  14                 PEGASUS_HAVE_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION" in Platform_TRU64_ALPHA_DECCXX.h.
  15             
  16 kumpf 1.156 3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 17 July 2002 -
  17             Modified test source and Makefiles to make it possible to run the test suite 
  18             specifying a location in which all temporary files (e.g. output files, 
  19             repository files, etc.) are created.  This ability can be useful if you would
  20             like, for example, on a test system, to nfs-mount the pegasus directory 
  21             without write access, and run the test suite.
  22             
  23             The new functionality uses the PEGASUS_TMP environment variable.  The TMP_DIR
  24             variable is set from the PEGASUS_TMP environment variable, and used in the
  25             Makefiles.  If PEGASUS_TMP is not set, TMP_DIR defaults to ".", and the
  26             behavior is the same as previously (creates files in the current directory).
  27             Test programs use the value of the PEGASUS_TMP environment variable (or "." if 
  28             not set) to construct the path of a file or directory to be created.
  29             
  30             When new tests are added that need to create files, directories, repository,
  31             etc., please use the TMP_DIR variable in the Makefile, and the value of the
  32             PEGASUS_TMP environment variable in the test program source file.  For examples,
  33             see the current test programs (e.g. pegasus/src/Pegasus/Repository/tests/*).

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

 250 kumpf   1.131 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - To eliminate the possibility of
 251                   collisions (and subsequent corruption) when different threads
 252                   concurrently update the ArrayRep reference count, I added a Mutex
 253                   to the ArrayRep structure.  This Mutex gets locked in the inc()
 254                   and dec() methods that manage the reference count.
 255               
 256                   After adding the Mutex, the "mysterious" memory problems seemed to clear
 257                   up.  This seems like a very good thing.  However, note that the addition
 258                   of the Mutex adversely affects performance (nearly 2:1).  I tried using
 259                   an AtomicInt for the reference count, but that seemed to yield even worse
 260                   performance on my system.
 261               
 262                   Anyone should feel free to optimize the performance of the locking in
 263                   the ArrayRep structure.  Since I believe this locking is required for
 264                   proper operation, I've added the Mutex for all platforms.  Note that I
 265                   had to comment out the assert statements in internal_dq.h to avoid a
 266                   circular header file dependency (Array.h->IPC.h->internal_dq.h->
 267                   Exception.h->String.h->Array.h).
 268               
 269 kumpf   1.132 39. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - Removed operator int() methods from
 270                   all CIM* classes.  These methods had been causing a number of difficult
 271                   to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods
 272                   in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks).
 273               
 274                   In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that
 275                   loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast
 276                   at will in an effort to match types.  I've replaced all instances of
 277                   the int cast operator with isNull() methods.
 278               
 279 kumpf   1.133 40. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Added SSL Certificate verification
 280                   code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate
 281                   information to the client's call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and
 282                   the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass a call back function.
 283                   Fixed few display messages in CIMConfigCommand.cpp to show meaningfule
 284                   messages when CIM server is not running.
 285               
 286 kumpf   1.134 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toXml() methods to
 287                   XmlWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::print() methods to
 288                   XmlWriter::print*Element().  Putting this function in XmlWriter
 289                   instead of the CIM* classes keeps those internal methods out of
 290                   the published client and provider APIs.
 291               
 292 kumpf   1.135 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toMof() methods to
 293                   a new MofWriter class as MofWriter::append*Element().  Moved
 294                   CIM*::printMof() methods to MofWriter::print*Element().
 295               
 296 kumpf   1.144 43. (Nag Boranna - HP) 16 May 2002 - Implemented SSL handling in 
 297 kumpf   1.136     CIMClient.cpp for local connection and modified the CLIs to not to pass 
 298                   SSLContext to the client api. 
 299               
 300 kumpf   1.137 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 301                   each array has its own ArrayRep copy rather than Arrays sharing
 302                   ArrayReps and reference counting.
 303               
 304 kumpf   1.144 45. (Nag Boranna - HP) 17 May 2002 - Moved SSLContext class out of
 305 kumpf   1.138     TLS files, created SSLContextRep to hide members from the users of 
 306                   SSLContext. Also included CertificateInfo in SSLContext files and 
 307                   removed the CertificateInfo files, so that the client SDK can only
 308                   need to include SSLContext.h for the client apps to use.
 309               
 310 kumpf   1.139 46. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 17 May 2002 - Fixed the CIMInstanceRep::resolve
 311                   method to return the correct class origin. Fixed SecurityPropertyOwner to 
 312                   disallow passwordFilePath="". 
 313               
 314 kumpf   1.144 47. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 May 2002 - Modified CIM Server and Client
 315 kumpf   1.140     API to lookup port number from services. CIM Server uses default port
 316                   number (5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS) if no port number is configured 
 317                   and no port is specified in the configuration file. CIMClient's connectLocal()
 318                   method is modified to try and connect to HTTP port, if failed then try and
 319                   connect to HTTPS port.
 320               
 321 kumpf   1.141 48. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 May 2002: Fixed a problem in repository related

 323               
 324 sage    1.142 49. (MM) 23 May 2002 - Added ProviderAdapter support
 325                   The ProviderAdapterManager loads an additional Adapter library in 
 326                   case of a non-default interfaceName. This Adapter library has to offer a
 327                   factory callback PegasusCreateProviderAdapter() in analogy to the
 328                   CIMBaseProvider - an example, the AdapterSkeleton, can be found in 
 329                   src/Providers/generic/CMPIAdapter/
 330               
 331 sage    1.143 50. (MM) 23 May 2002 - New AtomicInt implementation using pthread_spinlocks.
 332 kumpf   1.144 
 333               51. (Nag Boranna - HP) 23 May 2002 -  Added config properties 
 334                   'enableHttpConnection' and 'enableHttpsConnection'. Renamed 
 335                   'requireAuthentication' to 'enableAuthentication' and 'requireAuthorization' 
 336 kumpf   1.145     to 'enableNamespaceAuthorization'. Removed few ATTN's in Authentication code.
 337 kumpf   1.144 
 338 kumpf   1.145 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 339                   the implementation is hidden from clients and providers.  This was
 340                   accomplished by using explicit instantiation of the array template for
 341                   each array type that is supported in the client and provider APIs.
 342                   The array template implementation is still available for use within
 343                   the Pegasus core, allowing implicit instantiation of additional array
 344                   types used internally.
 345 karl    1.146     
 346               53. KS 28 May 2002 - Added heiarchial subclass search of subclasses to 
 347                   enumerateinstancenames and enumerateinstances.  There is a problem
 348                   however with trashing of the requests messages so there is a
 349                   flag LIMIT_ENUM_TO_ONE_LEVEL in CIMOperationDispatcher.cpp that
 350                   causes it to go through all the motions except to request instances
 351                   only for the current level.
 352               
 353 kumpf   1.147 54. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 28 May 2002 - Replaced getenv("PEGASUS_TRACE")
 354                   with Tracer calls. Fixed UserAuthProvider and ConfigSettingProvider to
 355                   check for user credentials. UserAuthProvider checks whether the user
 356 kumpf   1.148     is a privileged user for all operations. ConfigSettingProvider checks
 357                   whether the user is a privileged user only for write operations.
 358 sage    1.143 
 359 kumpf   1.149 55. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 30 May 2002 -
 360                   Removed the CIMNamedInstance and CIMObjectWithPath classes.  The CIMObject
 361                   and CIMInstance classes now include a setPath (CIMObjectPath) method.  
 362                   These changes will affect Clients and Providers.  A call to the 
 363                   CIMNamedInstance constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMInstance should 
 364                   be replaced with a call to the setPath () method on the CIMInstance, 
 365                   passing the same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMNamedInstance 
 366                   getInstance () method should be replaced with the CIMInstance, and a call 
 367                   to the CIMNamedInstance getInstanceName () method should be replaced with a
 368                   call to the getPath () method on the CIMInstance.  A call to the 
 369                   CIMObjectWithPath constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMObject, should 
 370                   be replaced with a call the setPath () method on the CIMObject, passing the
 371                   same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMObjectWithPath getObject () method 
 372                   should be replaced with the CIMObject, and a call to the CIMObjectWithPath 
 373                   getReference () method should be replaced with a call to the CIMObject 
 374                   getPath () method.
 375               
 376 kumpf   1.151 56. (Jenny Yu - HP) 31 May 2002 - Implemented a cimserver_kill() method 
 377 kumpf   1.150     to kill the CIMServer process if the CIM Server is still running after
 378                   the shutdown timeout has expired during shutdown.  The CIMServer process
 379                   Id is saved in a file after CIMServer starts up.  This file is removed
 380                   after CIMServer terminates normally.  Only added code for the HPUX
 381                   platform.  
 382 kumpf   1.151 
 383               57. (Jenny Yu - HP) 03 Jun 2002 - Removed all cimserver command line options
 384                   except for: -v (version), -h (help), -D (home), -s (shutdown), and
 385                   -install and -remove (for Windows only).  All other options can be set
 386                   using the <configProperty=value> command line syntax.

 408 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 409                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 410                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 411                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 412                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the

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

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

 449                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 450                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 451                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 452                   for remote clients.
 453 karl    1.66  
 454 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 455                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 456                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 457                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 458                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 459                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 460                   values.
 461               
 462                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 463               
 464                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 465                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 466                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 467                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 468                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 469                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 470               
 471                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 472                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 473                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 474                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 475 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 476                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 477                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 478                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 479                   specified in the method definition.
 480               
 481                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 482               
 483                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 484                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 485                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 486                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 487                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 488                   correct type rather than as a String.
 489               
 490                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 491                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 492                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 493                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 494                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 495                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 496 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 497               
 498                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 499                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 500                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 501               
 502                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 503               
 504                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 505                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 506                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 507                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 508                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 509               
 510                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 511                   clean-up, which I completed.
 512               
 513                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 514               
 515                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 516                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 517 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 518                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 519                   the specified value to that property's type.
 520               
 521                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 522                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 523                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 524                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 525               
 526                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 527                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 528                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 529                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 530                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 531                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 532               
 533 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 534                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 535                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 536                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 537                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 538                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 539                   encoding of parameter values.
 540               
 541                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 542                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 543                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 544                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 545                   have defaulted to String type.

 550 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 551                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 552                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 553                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 554                   the server.

 559 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 560                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 561                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 562                   operations.
 563               
 564                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 568 karl    1.76      
 569 kumpf   1.68  
 570 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 571                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 572                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 573                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 574                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 575                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 576                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 577               
 578                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 579                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 580                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 581                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 582                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 583                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 584                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 585                   a single buffer.
 586               
 587                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 588                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 589                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 590                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 591 kumpf   1.75  
 592               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 593                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 594                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 595                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 596               
 597                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 598                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 599                   validated.

 604 karl    1.78      
 605 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 606                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 607               
 608                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 609                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 610                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 611                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 612               
 613                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 614               
 615                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 616               
 617                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 618               
 619                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 620               
 621                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 622                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 623                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 624                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 625                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 626 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 627                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 628                   rather than in the constructor.
 629               
 630                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 631                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 632                   included in the Pegasus build.
 633 kumpf   1.79  
 634 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 635                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 636 kumpf   1.75  
 637 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 638                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 639                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 640                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 641                   for that purpose.   
 642               
 643                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 644               
 645                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 646                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 647                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 648                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 649                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 650               
 651                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 652               
 653                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 654                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 655                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 656               
 657                     (ex.)
 658 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 659                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 660               
 661                     or use the following new macro:
 662                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");

 664 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 665 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 666               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 667               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 668               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 669               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 670 ramnath 1.81  
 671               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 672               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 673               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 674               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 675               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 676               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 677               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 678               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 679 ramnath 1.80  
 680 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once

 682               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly

 691 kumpf   1.84  
 692               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 693                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 694                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 695                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 696                   an integer of the specified size.
 697               
 698 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers

 703                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 704                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.

 713 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 714                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 715                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 716                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 717                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 718                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 719                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 720                   linked into the server.

 727                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 728                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 729                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 730                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 731 karl    1.92      
 732               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 733                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 734                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 737 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 738 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 739               
 740               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 741                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 742                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 743                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 744 karl    1.53         
 745               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 746               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 747               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 748               	which is the current file based repository.
 749               	
 750               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 751               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 752               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 753               	in the future.
 754 karl    1.52  
 755 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 756                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 757                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 758                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 759                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 760                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 761               
 762 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 763 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 764                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 765                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 766                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 767                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 768               
 769 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 770 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 771                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 772                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 773                  program.
 774               
 775 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 776                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 777                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 778                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 779                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 780                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 781                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 782                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 783                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 784               
 785                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 786                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 787                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 788               
 789                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 790                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 791                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 792                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 793               
 794                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 795                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 796 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 797                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 798               
 799                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 800                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 801               
 802                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 810               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 811               
 812 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 813                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 814               
 815               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 816 mike    1.51  =======
 817               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 818               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 819               	
 820               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 821               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 822               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 823               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 824               	should not affect any current work.
 825               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 826               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 827               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 828               	
 829               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 830                       on XML output.
 831                       
 832               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 833               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 834               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 835               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 836               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 837 mike    1.51  
 838               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 839               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 840               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 841               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 842               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 843               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 844               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 845               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 846                       
 847               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 848               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 849               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 850               generating debug output.
 851               
 852               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 853               xml when it generates xml output.
 854               
 855               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 856               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 857               repository implementation.
 858 mike    1.51  
 859               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 860               
 861               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 862               
 863               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 864               
 865               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 866               
 867               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.
 868               
 869               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 870                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 871               
 872               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 873               
 874               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.
 875               
 876               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 877               
 878               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 879 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 880                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 881               
 882               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 883                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 884                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 885               
 886               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 887                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 888                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 889               
 890               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 891                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 892                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 893                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 894                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 895                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 896                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 897               
 898                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 899                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 900 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 901                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 902                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 903                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 904                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 905                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 906                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 907                   below:
 908               
 909                   //====================================================================
 910                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 911                   //====================================================================
 912                   [Description (
 913                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 914                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 915                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 916               
 917               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 918                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 919                   a provider library.
 920               
 921 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 922                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 923                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 924                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 925                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 926                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 927                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 928                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 929                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 930                   later). 
 931               
 932                   Also added are two test programs: 
 933               	
 934                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 935                       CIMParamValue class.
 936               	
 937                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 938                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 939                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 940                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 941                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 942 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 943               
 944               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 945                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 946                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 947                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 948                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 949                   and to verify the authentication.
 950               
 951                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 952                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 953                   yet linked into the build.
 954               
 955               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 956                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 957                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 958                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 959                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 960                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 961                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 962               
 963 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 964                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 965                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 966                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 967                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 968                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 969                   provider file path name.

 971               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 972                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 973                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 974                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 975                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 976                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 977                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 978                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 979               
 980               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 981                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 982                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 983                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 984 mike    1.51  
 985               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 986                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 987                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 988                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 989               
 990               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 991                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 992                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 993                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 994                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 995                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 996                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 997                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 998                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 999               
1000               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
1001                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
1002                   
1003               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
1004               
1005 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
1006                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
1007                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
1008                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
1009                   in make files.
1010                  
1011               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
1012                   because getting an error in 26
1013               
1014               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
1015                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
1016                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
1017                   tag structure.
1018               
1019                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
1020                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
1021                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
1022               
1023                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
1024                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
1025                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
1026 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
1027                   of String type and a key of reference type.
1028               
1029                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
1030                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
1031                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
1032                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
1033                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
1034                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
1035                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
1036                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
1037               
1038                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
1039                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
1040                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
1041                   reference type.
1042               
1043                   In this example:
1044               
1045                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
1046               
1047 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
1048                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
1049                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
1050                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
1051                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
1052               
1053                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
1054                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
1055                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
1056                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
1057                   correctly.
1058               
1059                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
1060                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
1061               
1062                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
1063                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
1064                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
1065                   CIMOM version.
1066               
1067                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
1068 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
1069                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
1070                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
1071                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
1072                   definition to determine the key property types.
1073               
1074               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
1075                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
1076                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
1077                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
1078               
1079               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
1080                   (instanceName).
1081               
1082               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
1083                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
1084                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
1085                   relevant intrinsic methods.
1086               
1087               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
1088                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
1089 mike    1.51  
1090               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1091                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1092                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1093                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1094                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1095                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1096                   nsk platform links. 
1097               
1098               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1099                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1100                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1101                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1102                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1103                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1104                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1105               
1106                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1107                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1108                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1109                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1110 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1111                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1112                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1113               
1114               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1115                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1116                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1117                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1118               
1119               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1120                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1121                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1122                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1123                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1124               
1125               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1126                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1127                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1128                   be updated to use this class.
1129               
1130               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1131 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1132                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1133                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1134                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1135               
1136               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1137                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1138                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1139                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1140                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1141                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1142               
1143               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1144               
1145                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1146                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1147                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1148                         CIMNamedInstance
1149                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1150                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1151                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1152 mike    1.51  
1153                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1154               
1155                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1156                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1157                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1158                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1159                   functionality.
1160               
1161                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1162               
1163                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1164                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1165                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1166                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1167                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1168                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1169                         the entire instance.
1170               
1171                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1172                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1173 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1174               
1175                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1176                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1177                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1178               
1179                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1180                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1181               
1182               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1183                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1184                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1185                   the DMTF specification.
1186               
1187                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1188                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1189                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1190                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1191               
1192                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1193               
1194 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1195                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1196                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1197                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1198                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1199                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1200                         the entire instance.
1201               
1202                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1203                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1204                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1205                         be used to update the instance.
1206               
1207                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1208                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1209                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1210               
1211                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1212                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1213                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1214               
1215 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1216                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1217                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1218                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1219                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1220               
1221               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1222                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1223                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1224               
1225                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1226                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1227                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1228                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1229                   following command before starting cimserver:
1230               
1231                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1232               
1233                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1234                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1235                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1236 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1237                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1238                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1239                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1240               
1241               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1242                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1243                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1244               
1245               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1246                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1247                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1248                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1249                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1250               
1251                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1252                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1253                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1254                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1255                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1256                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1257 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1258               
1259               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1260                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1261               
1262                   Authentication and User Management:
1263                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1264                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1265                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1266                   generated password file. 
1267               
1268                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1269                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1270                   
1271                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1272                   management and authorization functionality.   
1273               
1274               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1275                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1276               
1277               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1278 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1279                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1280               
1281               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1282                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1283                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1284                 
1285               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1286                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1287                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1288                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1289                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1290                   or change in provider registration.  
1291               
1292               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1293                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1294                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1295                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1296               
1297               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1298                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1299 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1300                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1301                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1302                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1303                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1304                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1305                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1306                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1307                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1308                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1309                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1310 mike    1.50  
1311 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1312                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1313               
1314               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1320               
1321               1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
1322                  indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1323                  and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1324               
1325                  Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
1326                  make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
1327               
1328                  Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
1329                  SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
1330               
1331               2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
1332                  library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined

1358 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1359                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1360                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1361               
1362               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1363                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1364                  that
1365                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1366                  password.
1367                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1368                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1369                  build.
1370                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1371                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1425 karl    1.16  
1426               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1427               for NT and Linux platforms.
1428 mike    1.26  
1429 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1430               5988.
1431               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1432               the DMTF.
1433 mike    1.26  
1434 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1435               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1436               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1437               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1438 mike    1.26  
1439 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1440               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1441               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1442 mike    1.26  
1443 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1444               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1445               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1446               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1447               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1448               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1449 bob     1.20  (grb)
1450 mike    1.26  
1451 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1452               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1453               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1454 mike    1.26  
1455 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1456 mike    1.26  
1457 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1458               modifyClass,
1459 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1460 mike    1.26  
1461 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1462               directory. These
1463               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1464               CIMProviderStub has
1465 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1466 mike    1.26  
1467 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1468 mike    1.26  
1469 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1470               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1471 mike    1.26  
1472               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1473 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1474               
1475               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1476                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1477                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1478                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1479                   (MEB)
1480 mike    1.26  
1481 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1482               
1483 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1484               AssociationName
1485 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1486               pages.
1487               
1488 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1489 sage    1.31  
1490               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1491               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1492               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1493               variables.
1494 mike    1.32  
1495               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1496                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1497                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1498 kumpf   1.34  
1499               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1500                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1501                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1502                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1503                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1504                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1505                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1506 karl    1.35  
1507               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1508                   tests for stack and queue.

1515 karl    1.12  1. (KS)OptionManager (CPP and H), Logger (CPP and H), Handler (CPP and H),
1516               CIMServer (both)
1517 karl    1.11  Functions added include:
1518               	a. Enable trace to log file.
1519 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1520               	is
1521 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1522               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1523 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1524               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1525 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1526               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1527 karl    1.15  2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
1528 mike    1.33  
1529 karl    1.15  3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x

1542               not
1543 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1544               and components of the message causing the problem.
1545 mike    1.33  
1546 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1557               1. Extend HP UX port to correctly load Dynamic Load Libraries.
1558               2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1559               3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1560                  Handler.h to work off of flag.
1561               4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
1562               5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.
1563               6. Correct errors in documentation.
1564               7. New working papers (provider interface).
1565 karl    1.8   8. Add Providerreg.exe tool.
1566               9. Add trace output for messages sent from the Server.

1572 karl    1.5   
1573 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1574               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1575               
1576 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1577               of dynamic lib loaading.

1584 karl    1.1   
1585               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1586               qualifiers, methods.
1587               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1588               methods.
1589               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1590               qualifiers and to
1591               remove qualifiers.
1592               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1593               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1594 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1595               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1596               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1597               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1598               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
