  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/*).
  34             
  35 kumpf 1.157 4. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 July 2002 - Changes from the Pegasus API review:
  36             
  37                - Updated the CIMName class to a data type class
  38                - Added CIMNamespaceName as a data type class
  39                - Updated the client, provider, and common (CIM*) classes to use CIMName
  40                  and CIMNamespaceName in place of String when handing CIM names (class,
  41                  property, qualifier, method, and parameter names)
  42                - Changed the CIMClass constructor to take a CIMName for the class name
  43                  instead of a CIMObjectPath
  44                - Changed the CIMName::equal method to be non-static
  45

  48 karl    1.95  Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002
  49               TAG: Version_1_09.
  50               
  51               1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.
  52               
  53 kumpf   1.96  2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage
  54                  class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a
  55                  CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in
  56                  a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried
  57                  internally throughout the system.
  58               
  59                  This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted
  60                  to an error code and description to be written out in XML.  This
  61                  single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the
  62                  error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace
  63                  errors that get returned to clients.  In particular, client applications
  64                  currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,
  65                  such as:
  66               
  67                      CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed
  68                      to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One
  69                      or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:
  70                      "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""
  71               
  72                  The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant
  73                  information to be eliminated from the messages.
  74 karl    1.97     
  75               3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime
  76                  after roger fixed timevalue.
  77 kumpf   1.96  
  78 kumpf   1.98  4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 
  79               
  80 kumpf   1.99  5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.
  81 kumpf   1.100                       Update master result file of wbemexec CLI tests.
  82 kumpf   1.99  
  83 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 
  84               	build on Tru64.
  85               
  86 kumpf   1.102 7. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Apr 2002 - The RETURNVALUE and IRETURNVALUE elements
  87                  of the XML encoding of operation responses had been treated as mandatory.
  88                  The client response decoder has been updated to make those elements
  89                  optional for operations that do not require a return value.  The server
  90                  response encoder has been updated not to include those elements when the
  91                  request does not include a return value.
  92               
  93 kumpf   1.103 8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 9 Apr 2002 - Updated the Instance, Association, and
  94                  Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String>
  95                  for the propertyList parameters.  All providers that implement a method
  96                  with a propertyList parameter must be modified in accordance with this
  97                  change.  All providers linked into the Pegasus build have been updated.
  98               
  99 kumpf   1.105 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be
 100 kumpf   1.104    returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned.
 101                  Added a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.
 102 kumpf   1.105 
 103               10. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName()
 104                   method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition
 105                   from all the subclasses.  To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets
 106                   the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to
 107                   the MessageQueue constructor was removed.  Constants were defined in
 108                   Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus.  The
 109                   places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also
 110                   changed to use the constants.
 111 kumpf   1.104 
 112 kumpf   1.106 11. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTPError exception to
 113                   report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications.  Added
 114                   an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error
 115                   response.  Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to
 116                   process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages.
 117                   Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an
 118                   HTTP error.  This functionality required fundamental changes in the
 119                   way CIMClient processes messages.  It can no longer search its queue
 120                   for a message of the expected type.  Instead, is assumes that no
 121                   messages should be on its queue unless it has sent a request to the
 122                   encoder.  In that case, it assumes that any message on its queue is
 123                   the response to that request.
 124               
 125 kumpf   1.107 12. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Extended versioning strategy
 126                   to allow platform-specific version strings.
 127               
 128 kumpf   1.108 13. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Renamed shared library for
 129                   ManagedSystem/OperatingSystem provider so that it would not
 130                   conflict with library name of generic/OperatingSystem provider. 
 131               
 132 kumpf   1.109 14. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Added compile flags  _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD flags for platform_HPUX_PARISC_ACC.
 133               
 134 kumpf   1.108 
 135 kumpf   1.110 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Feb 2002 - HP-Nag: Added PAM based user 
 136                   authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix 
 137                   platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting 
 138                   the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION." 
 139               
 140 kumpf   1.111 16. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented static methods
 141                  Uint64 getDifference(CIMDateTime, CIMDateTime), to get the difference
 142                  between two CIMDateTimes and CIMDateTime getCurrentDateTime(), to return
 143                  the current date time as CIMDateTime in the CIMDateTime class. Also added
 144                  method Boolean isInterval(), to check if the CIMDateTime object is an
 145                  interval.
 146               
 147 kumpf   1.112 17. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Improved Consumer interface with 
 148                  indications. Now indications can be displayed using sample
 149                  DisplayConsumer. To test, create Handler with destination as
 150                  localhost:5988/logicalname. Create a file consumer_list.dat in your
 151                  PEGASUS_HOME directory and then ass entry as follows:
 152                  logicalname = DisplayConsumer
 153                  This will help ConsumerTable to load the DisplayConsumer to consume
 154                  the indication passed through ExportServer (CIMExportRequestDispathcer).
 155               
 156 kumpf   1.113 18. (Yi Zhou - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented sending message of provider
 157                  registration notification to subscription service.
 158               
 159 kumpf   1.114 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 Apr 2002 - Defined an exception hierarchy for
 160                   CIMClient API users.  All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now
 161                   subclasses of CIMClientException.  The CIMClient methods are defined
 162                   as throwing CIMClientException, which will allow the actual exceptions
 163                   thrown to change without changing the method signatures.  It also makes
 164                   it more clear to the client application which exceptions need to be
 165                   handled.
 166               
 167                   A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well.
 168                   This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM
 169                   operation response decoder to the CIMClient.  Previously, several
 170                   classes of exceptions were being dropped in the decoder.  New
 171                   CIMClientException subclasses have been defined to model these
 172                   exceptions.  These changes allow decoding exceptions to be passed
 173                   back to the client application.  Examples are unparsable HTTP
 174                   responses, malformed XML, and mismatched CIM responses (message ID,
 175                   message type).
 176               
 177                   The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been
 178                   updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.
 179 karl    1.115     
 180 kumpf   1.118 20. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 -Incorporated tomof client into the build.  Includes
 181 karl    1.115     usage and help.
 182                   This program outputs mof or xml from repository either as a client
 183                   or direct to the repository.
 184                
 185 kumpf   1.118 21. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 - Changed all FIXME, etc. in compiler to ATTN with
 186 karl    1.115     priorities.
 187 kumpf   1.114 
 188 kumpf   1.118 22. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - Associator provider handling
 189 sage    1.116 
 190 kumpf   1.118 23. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - HiRes pegasus_gettimeofday() for Windows needed
 191 sage    1.117     for performance statistics.
 192 kumpf   1.118 
 193               24. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Apr 2002 - Removed the "match" code in the
 194                   String class which had a dependency on the TCL license.  Where this
 195                   code was being used to match HTTP headers, I replaced the call to
 196                   String::matchNoCase() with specific logic to check for the namespace
 197                   in an HTTP extension header.  For example, if the allowNamespacePrefix
 198                   argument is true and the search tag is "Tag", HTTPMessage::lookupHeader
 199                   will match "Tag" and "45-Tag", but not "abcTag".  This behavior more
 200                   closely models the intent of the String match in this case and is
 201                   therefore more correct.
 202 sage    1.117 
 203 kumpf   1.119 25. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 20 Apr 2002 - Added an instance of 
 204                   PegasusVersion.h to each product component. This was done
 205                   to support component level version tracking.
 206               
 207 sage    1.120 26. (MM) 22 Apr 2002 - Performance Measurement Implementation
 208               
 209 kumpf   1.121 27. (Susan Campbell - HP) 22 Apr 2002 - Various enhancements and bug fixes
 210                  to the Managed System OS provider.  Rolled in the Linux support from
 211                  the Linux-specific OS provider and added properties to the HP-UX and
 212                  Windows OS providers.
 213               
 214 kumpf   1.122 28. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Overhauled the configuration property
 215                   "unset" functionality.  cimconfig now uses modifyInstance with a
 216                   property list to specify whether the current or planned value (or both)
 217                   are to be updated.  It uses a "null" value to indicate that the value
 218                   should be unset (reset to default).
 219               
 220 kumpf   1.123 29. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Restructured the configuration
 221                   property owners to remove redundant code.
 222               
 223 kumpf   1.124 30. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Reimplement wbemexec to use a
 224                   new WbemExecClient interface based on HTTPConnection instead of the
 225                   obsolete Channel code.  Also add SSL option to wbemexec.
 226               
 227 kumpf   1.125 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Added copy constructors to the
 228                   CIMMessage subclasses.
 229               
 230 kumpf   1.126 32. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 27 Apr 2002 - Fixed several defects
 231                   in MOF compiler associated with the handling the initialization 
 232                   of array values.
 233 karl    1.127     
 234               33. (KS) 30 April 2002 - Added Namespace Control Provider. Note that it is 
 235                   not completely tested today and only enumeratenames is guaranteed.
 236                   
 237 kumpf   1.128 34. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 6 May 2002 - Reworked the String class.  Fixed the
 238                   places where StrLen() was reading off the end of arrays.  Removed the
 239                   Cat() functions.  Moved Open(), OpenAppend(), and GetLine() functions
 240                   to the FileSystem module.  Removed the EmptyStringArray() method.
 241                   Moved method implementations from header file to source file.  Marked
 242                   the _CString class for internal use only.
 243               
 244 kumpf   1.129 35. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Updated the Logger to log to 
 245                   syslog on the HP-UX platform.
 246               
 247               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Fixed the method 
 248                   CIMDateTime::getCurrentDateTime() to return local time instead of UTC.
 249                   Updated the CIMDateTime::getDifference() method to compute the difference
 250                   between two local times. Also updated the getDifference to compute the 
 251                   difference between two intervals.
 252               
 253 mary    1.130 37. (Mary Hinton) 10 May 2002 - Fixed the problem in the new version of 
 254                   pegasus_gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv)function for the Windows 
 255                   platform. The new implementation was implemented for higher resolution 
 256                   for performance statistics. However, it was causing an intermittent 
 257                   hang in the ThreadPool test on the Windows platform.When (long int) 
 258                   is changed to (__int64), the tv_usec variable of timeval struct has 
 259                   the correct value.
 260               
 261 kumpf   1.131 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - To eliminate the possibility of
 262                   collisions (and subsequent corruption) when different threads
 263                   concurrently update the ArrayRep reference count, I added a Mutex
 264                   to the ArrayRep structure.  This Mutex gets locked in the inc()
 265                   and dec() methods that manage the reference count.
 266               
 267                   After adding the Mutex, the "mysterious" memory problems seemed to clear
 268                   up.  This seems like a very good thing.  However, note that the addition
 269                   of the Mutex adversely affects performance (nearly 2:1).  I tried using
 270                   an AtomicInt for the reference count, but that seemed to yield even worse
 271                   performance on my system.
 272               
 273                   Anyone should feel free to optimize the performance of the locking in
 274                   the ArrayRep structure.  Since I believe this locking is required for
 275                   proper operation, I've added the Mutex for all platforms.  Note that I
 276                   had to comment out the assert statements in internal_dq.h to avoid a
 277                   circular header file dependency (Array.h->IPC.h->internal_dq.h->
 278                   Exception.h->String.h->Array.h).
 279               
 280 kumpf   1.132 39. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - Removed operator int() methods from
 281                   all CIM* classes.  These methods had been causing a number of difficult
 282                   to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods
 283                   in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks).
 284               
 285                   In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that
 286                   loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast
 287                   at will in an effort to match types.  I've replaced all instances of
 288                   the int cast operator with isNull() methods.
 289               
 290 kumpf   1.133 40. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Added SSL Certificate verification
 291                   code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate
 292                   information to the client's call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and
 293                   the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass a call back function.
 294                   Fixed few display messages in CIMConfigCommand.cpp to show meaningfule
 295                   messages when CIM server is not running.
 296               
 297 kumpf   1.134 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toXml() methods to
 298                   XmlWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::print() methods to
 299                   XmlWriter::print*Element().  Putting this function in XmlWriter
 300                   instead of the CIM* classes keeps those internal methods out of
 301                   the published client and provider APIs.
 302               
 303 kumpf   1.135 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toMof() methods to
 304                   a new MofWriter class as MofWriter::append*Element().  Moved
 305                   CIM*::printMof() methods to MofWriter::print*Element().
 306               
 307 kumpf   1.144 43. (Nag Boranna - HP) 16 May 2002 - Implemented SSL handling in 
 308 kumpf   1.136     CIMClient.cpp for local connection and modified the CLIs to not to pass 
 309                   SSLContext to the client api. 
 310               
 311 kumpf   1.137 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 312                   each array has its own ArrayRep copy rather than Arrays sharing
 313                   ArrayReps and reference counting.
 314               
 315 kumpf   1.144 45. (Nag Boranna - HP) 17 May 2002 - Moved SSLContext class out of
 316 kumpf   1.138     TLS files, created SSLContextRep to hide members from the users of 
 317                   SSLContext. Also included CertificateInfo in SSLContext files and 
 318                   removed the CertificateInfo files, so that the client SDK can only
 319                   need to include SSLContext.h for the client apps to use.
 320               
 321 kumpf   1.139 46. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 17 May 2002 - Fixed the CIMInstanceRep::resolve
 322                   method to return the correct class origin. Fixed SecurityPropertyOwner to 
 323                   disallow passwordFilePath="". 
 324               
 325 kumpf   1.144 47. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 May 2002 - Modified CIM Server and Client
 326 kumpf   1.140     API to lookup port number from services. CIM Server uses default port
 327                   number (5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS) if no port number is configured 
 328                   and no port is specified in the configuration file. CIMClient's connectLocal()
 329                   method is modified to try and connect to HTTP port, if failed then try and
 330                   connect to HTTPS port.
 331               
 332 kumpf   1.141 48. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 May 2002: Fixed a problem in repository related
 333                   to rollback failure. 
 334               
 335 sage    1.142 49. (MM) 23 May 2002 - Added ProviderAdapter support
 336                   The ProviderAdapterManager loads an additional Adapter library in 
 337                   case of a non-default interfaceName. This Adapter library has to offer a
 338                   factory callback PegasusCreateProviderAdapter() in analogy to the
 339                   CIMBaseProvider - an example, the AdapterSkeleton, can be found in 
 340                   src/Providers/generic/CMPIAdapter/
 341               
 342 sage    1.143 50. (MM) 23 May 2002 - New AtomicInt implementation using pthread_spinlocks.
 343 kumpf   1.144 
 344               51. (Nag Boranna - HP) 23 May 2002 -  Added config properties 
 345                   'enableHttpConnection' and 'enableHttpsConnection'. Renamed 
 346                   'requireAuthentication' to 'enableAuthentication' and 'requireAuthorization' 
 347 kumpf   1.145     to 'enableNamespaceAuthorization'. Removed few ATTN's in Authentication code.
 348 kumpf   1.144 
 349 kumpf   1.145 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 350                   the implementation is hidden from clients and providers.  This was
 351                   accomplished by using explicit instantiation of the array template for
 352                   each array type that is supported in the client and provider APIs.
 353                   The array template implementation is still available for use within
 354                   the Pegasus core, allowing implicit instantiation of additional array
 355                   types used internally.
 356 karl    1.146     
 357               53. KS 28 May 2002 - Added heiarchial subclass search of subclasses to 
 358                   enumerateinstancenames and enumerateinstances.  There is a problem
 359                   however with trashing of the requests messages so there is a
 360                   flag LIMIT_ENUM_TO_ONE_LEVEL in CIMOperationDispatcher.cpp that
 361                   causes it to go through all the motions except to request instances
 362                   only for the current level.
 363               
 364 kumpf   1.147 54. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 28 May 2002 - Replaced getenv("PEGASUS_TRACE")
 365                   with Tracer calls. Fixed UserAuthProvider and ConfigSettingProvider to
 366                   check for user credentials. UserAuthProvider checks whether the user
 367 kumpf   1.148     is a privileged user for all operations. ConfigSettingProvider checks
 368                   whether the user is a privileged user only for write operations.
 369 sage    1.143 
 370 kumpf   1.149 55. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 30 May 2002 -
 371                   Removed the CIMNamedInstance and CIMObjectWithPath classes.  The CIMObject
 372                   and CIMInstance classes now include a setPath (CIMObjectPath) method.  
 373                   These changes will affect Clients and Providers.  A call to the 
 374                   CIMNamedInstance constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMInstance should 
 375                   be replaced with a call to the setPath () method on the CIMInstance, 
 376                   passing the same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMNamedInstance 
 377                   getInstance () method should be replaced with the CIMInstance, and a call 
 378                   to the CIMNamedInstance getInstanceName () method should be replaced with a
 379                   call to the getPath () method on the CIMInstance.  A call to the 
 380                   CIMObjectWithPath constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMObject, should 
 381                   be replaced with a call the setPath () method on the CIMObject, passing the
 382                   same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMObjectWithPath getObject () method 
 383                   should be replaced with the CIMObject, and a call to the CIMObjectWithPath 
 384                   getReference () method should be replaced with a call to the CIMObject 
 385                   getPath () method.
 386               
 387 kumpf   1.151 56. (Jenny Yu - HP) 31 May 2002 - Implemented a cimserver_kill() method 
 388 kumpf   1.150     to kill the CIMServer process if the CIM Server is still running after
 389                   the shutdown timeout has expired during shutdown.  The CIMServer process
 390                   Id is saved in a file after CIMServer starts up.  This file is removed
 391                   after CIMServer terminates normally.  Only added code for the HPUX
 392                   platform.  
 393 kumpf   1.151 
 394               57. (Jenny Yu - HP) 03 Jun 2002 - Removed all cimserver command line options
 395                   except for: -v (version), -h (help), -D (home), -s (shutdown), and
 396                   -install and -remove (for Windows only).  All other options can be set
 397                   using the <configProperty=value> command line syntax.

 419 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 420                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 421                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 422                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 423                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 424                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 425                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.

 433               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 434 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 435                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 436                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 437                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 438                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 439 karl    1.63     
 440 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 441 karl    1.62  
 442 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.

 444               
 445 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 446 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 447               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 448               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 449               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 450               
 451 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in

 460                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 461                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 462                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 463                   for remote clients.
 464 karl    1.66  
 465 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 466                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 467                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 468                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 469                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 470                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 471                   values.
 472               
 473                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 474               
 475                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 476                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 477                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 478                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 479                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 480                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 481               
 482                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 483                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 484                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 485                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 486 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 487                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 488                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 489                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 490                   specified in the method definition.
 491               
 492                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 493               
 494                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 495                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 496                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 497                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 498                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 499                   correct type rather than as a String.
 500               
 501                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 502                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 503                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 504                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 505                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 506                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 507 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 508               
 509                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 510                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 511                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 512               
 513                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 514               
 515                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 516                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 517                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 518                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 519                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 520               
 521                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 522                   clean-up, which I completed.
 523               
 524                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 525               
 526                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 527                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 528 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 529                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 530                   the specified value to that property's type.
 531               
 532                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 533                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 534                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 535                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 536               
 537                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 538                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 539                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 540                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 541                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 542                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 543               
 544 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 545                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 546                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 547                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 548                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 549                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 550                   encoding of parameter values.
 551               
 552                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 553                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 554                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 555                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 556                   have defaulted to String type.

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

 570 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 571                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 572                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 573                   operations.
 574               
 575                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 579 karl    1.76      
 580 kumpf   1.68  
 581 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 582                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 583                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 584                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 585                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 586                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 587                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 588               
 589                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 590                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 591                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 592                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 593                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 594                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 595                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 596                   a single buffer.
 597               
 598                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 599                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 600                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 601                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 602 kumpf   1.75  
 603               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 604                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 605                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 606                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 607               
 608                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 609                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 610                   validated.

 615 karl    1.78      
 616 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 617                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 618               
 619                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 620                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 621                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 622                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 623               
 624                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 625               
 626                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 627               
 628                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 629               
 630                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 631               
 632                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 633                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 634                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 635                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 636                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 637 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 638                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 639                   rather than in the constructor.
 640               
 641                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 642                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 643                   included in the Pegasus build.
 644 kumpf   1.79  
 645 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 646                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 647 kumpf   1.75  
 648 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 649                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 650                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 651                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 652                   for that purpose.   
 653               
 654                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 655               
 656                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 657                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 658                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 659                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 660                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 661               
 662                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 663               
 664                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 665                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 666                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 667               
 668                     (ex.)
 669 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 670                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 671               
 672                     or use the following new macro:
 673                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");

 675 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 676 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 677               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 678               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 679               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 680               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 681 ramnath 1.81  
 682               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 683               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 684               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 685               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 686               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 687               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 688               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 689               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 690 ramnath 1.80  
 691 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 692               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 693               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly

 702 kumpf   1.84  
 703               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 704                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 705                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 706                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 707                   an integer of the specified size.
 708               
 709 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers

 724 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 725                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 726                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 727                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 728                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 729                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 730                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 731                   linked into the server.
 732 karl    1.88  
 733 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 734                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 735                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 736               
 737 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 738                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 739                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 740                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 741                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 742 karl    1.92      
 743               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 744                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 745                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 748 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 749 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 750               
 751               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 752                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 753                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 754                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 755 karl    1.53         
 756               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 757               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 758               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 759               	which is the current file based repository.
 760               	
 761               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 762               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 763               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 764               	in the future.
 765 karl    1.52  
 766 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 767                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 768                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 769                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 770                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 771                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 772               
 773 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 774 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 775                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 776                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 777                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 778                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 779               
 780 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 781 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 782                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 783                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 784                  program.
 785               
 786 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 787                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 788                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 789                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 790                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 791                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 792                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 793                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 794                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 795               
 796                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 797                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 798                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 799               
 800                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 801                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 802                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 803                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 804               
 805                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 806                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 807 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 808                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 809               
 810                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 811                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 812               
 813                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 821               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 822               
 823 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 824                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 825               
 826               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 827 mike    1.51  =======
 828               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 829               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 830               	
 831               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 832               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 833               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 834               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 835               	should not affect any current work.
 836               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 837               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 838               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 839               	
 840               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 841                       on XML output.
 842                       
 843               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 844               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 845               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 846               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 847               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 848 mike    1.51  
 849               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 850               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 851               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 852               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 853               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 854               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 855               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 856               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 857                       
 858               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 859               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 860               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 861               generating debug output.
 862               
 863               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 864               xml when it generates xml output.
 865               
 866               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 867               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 868               repository implementation.
 869 mike    1.51  
 870               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 871               
 872               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 873               
 874               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 875               
 876               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 877               
 878               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.
 879               
 880               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 881                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 882               
 883               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 884               
 885               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.
 886               
 887               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 888               
 889               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 890 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 891                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 892               
 893               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 894                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 895                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 896               
 897               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 898                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 899                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 900               
 901               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 902                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 903                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 904                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 905                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 906                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 907                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 908               
 909                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 910                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 911 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 912                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 913                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 914                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 915                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 916                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 917                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 918                   below:
 919               
 920                   //====================================================================
 921                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 922                   //====================================================================
 923                   [Description (
 924                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 925                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 926                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 927               
 928               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 929                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 930                   a provider library.
 931               
 932 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 933                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 934                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 935                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 936                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 937                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 938                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 939                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 940                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 941                   later). 
 942               
 943                   Also added are two test programs: 
 944               	
 945                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 946                       CIMParamValue class.
 947               	
 948                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 949                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 950                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 951                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 952                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 953 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 954               
 955               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 956                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 957                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 958                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 959                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 960                   and to verify the authentication.
 961               
 962                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 963                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 964                   yet linked into the build.
 965               
 966               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 967                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 968                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 969                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 970                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 971                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 972                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 973               
 974 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 975                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 976                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 977                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 978                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 979                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 980                   provider file path name.
 981               
 982               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 983                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 984                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 985                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 986                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 987                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 988                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 989                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 990               
 991               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 992                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 993                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 994                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 995 mike    1.51  
 996               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 997                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 998                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 999                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
1000               
1001               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
1002                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
1003                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
1004                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
1005                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
1006                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
1007                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
1008                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
1009                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
1010               
1011               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
1012                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
1013                   
1014               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
1015               
1016 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
1017                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
1018                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
1019                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
1020                   in make files.
1021                  
1022               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
1023                   because getting an error in 26
1024               
1025               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
1026                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
1027                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
1028                   tag structure.
1029               
1030                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
1031                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
1032                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
1033               
1034                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
1035                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
1036                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
1037 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
1038                   of String type and a key of reference type.
1039               
1040                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
1041                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
1042                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
1043                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
1044                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
1045                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
1046                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
1047                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
1048               
1049                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
1050                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
1051                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
1052                   reference type.
1053               
1054                   In this example:
1055               
1056                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
1057               
1058 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
1059                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
1060                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
1061                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
1062                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
1063               
1064                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
1065                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
1066                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
1067                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
1068                   correctly.
1069               
1070                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
1071                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
1072               
1073                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
1074                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
1075                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
1076                   CIMOM version.
1077               
1078                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
1079 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
1080                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
1081                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
1082                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
1083                   definition to determine the key property types.
1084               
1085               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
1086                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
1087                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
1088                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
1089               
1090               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
1091                   (instanceName).
1092               
1093               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
1094                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
1095                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
1096                   relevant intrinsic methods.
1097               
1098               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
1099                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
1100 mike    1.51  
1101               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1102                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1103                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1104                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1105                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1106                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1107                   nsk platform links. 
1108               
1109               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1110                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1111                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1112                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1113                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1114                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1115                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1116               
1117                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1118                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1119                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1120                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1121 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1122                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1123                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1124               
1125               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1126                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1127                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1128                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1129               
1130               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1131                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1132                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1133                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1134                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1135               
1136               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1137                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1138                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1139                   be updated to use this class.
1140               
1141               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1142 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1143                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1144                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1145                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1146               
1147               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1148                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1149                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1150                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1151                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1152                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1153               
1154               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1155               
1156                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1157                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1158                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1159                         CIMNamedInstance
1160                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1161                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1162                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1163 mike    1.51  
1164                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1165               
1166                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1167                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1168                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1169                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1170                   functionality.
1171               
1172                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1173               
1174                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1175                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1176                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1177                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1178                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1179                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1180                         the entire instance.
1181               
1182                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1183                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1184 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1185               
1186                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1187                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1188                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1189               
1190                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1191                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1192               
1193               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1194                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1195                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1196                   the DMTF specification.
1197               
1198                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1199                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1200                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1201                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1202               
1203                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1204               
1205 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1206                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1207                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1208                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1209                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1210                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1211                         the entire instance.
1212               
1213                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1214                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1215                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1216                         be used to update the instance.
1217               
1218                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1219                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1220                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1221               
1222                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1223                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1224                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1225               
1226 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1227                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1228                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1229                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1230                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1231               
1232               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1233                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1234                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1235               
1236                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1237                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1238                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1239                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1240                   following command before starting cimserver:
1241               
1242                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1243               
1244                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1245                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1246                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1247 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1248                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1249                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1250                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1251               
1252               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1253                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1254                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1255               
1256               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1257                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1258                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1259                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1260                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1261               
1262                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1263                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1264                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1265                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1266                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1267                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1268 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1269               
1270               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1271                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1272               
1273                   Authentication and User Management:
1274                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1275                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1276                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1277                   generated password file. 
1278               
1279                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1280                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1281                   
1282                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1283                   management and authorization functionality.   
1284               
1285               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1286                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1287               
1288               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1289 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1290                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1291               
1292               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1293                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1294                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1295                 
1296               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1297                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1298                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1299                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1300                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1301                   or change in provider registration.  
1302               
1303               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1304                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1305                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1306                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1307               
1308               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1309                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1310 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1311                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1312                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1313                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1314                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1315                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1316                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1317                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1318                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1319                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1320                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1321 mike    1.50  
1322 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1323                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1324               
1325               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1331               
1332               1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
1333                  indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1334                  and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1335               
1336                  Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
1337                  make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
1338               
1339                  Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
1340                  SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.

1369 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1370                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1371                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1372               
1373               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1374                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1375                  that
1376                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1377                  password.

1380                  build.
1381                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1382                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1438               for NT and Linux platforms.
1439 mike    1.26  
1440 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1441               5988.
1442               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1443               the DMTF.
1444 mike    1.26  
1445 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1446               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1447               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1448               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1449 mike    1.26  
1450 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1451               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1452               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1453 mike    1.26  
1454 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1455               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1456               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1457               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1458               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1459               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1460 bob     1.20  (grb)
1461 mike    1.26  
1462 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1463               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1464               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1465 mike    1.26  
1466 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1467 mike    1.26  
1468 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1469               modifyClass,
1470 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1471 mike    1.26  
1472 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1473               directory. These
1474               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1475               CIMProviderStub has
1476 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1477 mike    1.26  
1478 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1479 mike    1.26  
1480 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1481               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1482 mike    1.26  
1483               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1484 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1485               
1486               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1487                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1488                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1489                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1490                   (MEB)
1491 mike    1.26  
1492 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1493               
1494 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1495               AssociationName
1496 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1497               pages.
1498               
1499 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1500 sage    1.31  
1501               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1502               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1503               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1504               variables.
1505 mike    1.32  
1506               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1507                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1508                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1509 kumpf   1.34  
1510               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1511                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1512                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1513                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1514                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1515                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1516                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1517 karl    1.35  
1518               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1519                   tests for stack and queue.

1526 karl    1.12  1. (KS)OptionManager (CPP and H), Logger (CPP and H), Handler (CPP and H),
1527               CIMServer (both)
1528 karl    1.11  Functions added include:
1529               	a. Enable trace to log file.
1530 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1531               	is
1532 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1533               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1534 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1535               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1536 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1537               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1538 karl    1.15  2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
1539 mike    1.33  
1540 karl    1.15  3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x
1541 mike    1.33  
1542 karl    1.15  4. (KS)Extended options on CIMServer including 1. option to determine where

1551 mike    1.33  
1552 karl    1.15  7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1553               not
1554 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1555               and components of the message causing the problem.
1556 mike    1.33  
1557 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1568               1. Extend HP UX port to correctly load Dynamic Load Libraries.
1569               2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1570               3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1571                  Handler.h to work off of flag.
1572               4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
1573               5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.
1574               6. Correct errors in documentation.

1583 karl    1.5   
1584 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1585               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1586               
1587 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1588               of dynamic lib loaading.

1595 karl    1.1   
1596               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1597               qualifiers, methods.
1598               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1599               methods.
1600               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1601               qualifiers and to
1602               remove qualifiers.
1603               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1604               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1605 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1606               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1607               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1608               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1609               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
