  1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
  2           
  3 karl  1.49.2.8 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
  4                		current working dev branch of build
  5 mike  1.36     
  6 karl  1.49.2.9 1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
  7                	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
  8 karl  1.49.2.10 	
  9                 2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 10                 	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 11                 	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 12                 	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 13                 	should not affect any current work.
 14                 3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 15                 	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 16                 	loads the 2.5 schema.
 17 karl  1.49.2.11 	
 18                 4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 19                         on XML output.
 20                         
 21 kumpf 1.49.2.12 5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 22                 in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 23                 RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 24                 declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 25                 "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 26                 
 27 kumpf 1.49.2.13 6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 28                 dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 29                 cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 30                 and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 31                 were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 32                 provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 33                 provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 34                 to show user friendly error/status messages.
 35 karl  1.49.2.11         
 36 kumpf 1.49.2.14 7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 37                 (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 38                 Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 39                 generating debug output.
 40                 
 41 karl  1.49.2.15 8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 42                 xml when it generates xml output.
 43                 
 44 kumpf 1.49.2.16 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 45                 a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 46                 repository implementation.
 47                 
 48 mike  1.49.2.17 10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 49                 
 50                 11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 51                 
 52                 12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 53                 
 54                 13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 55                 
 56 kumpf 1.49.2.18 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.
 57                 
 58 mike  1.49.2.19 15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 59                     CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 60                 
 61 mike  1.49.2.20 16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 62                 
 63 kumpf 1.49.2.21 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.
 64                 
 65 sage  1.49.2.22 18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 66                 
 67 kumpf 1.49.2.23 19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 68                     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 69                     a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 70                 
 71 kumpf 1.49.2.24 20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 72                     CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 73                     input and output can be written in a trace file.
 74                 
 75 sage  1.49.2.25 21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 76                     Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 77                     deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 78                 
 79 kumpf 1.49.2.26 22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and ExportClient 
 80                     to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample consumer is added which 
 81                     will consume (by displaying on screen) the indication exported by 
 82                     CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete implementation is based on 
 83                     CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp 
 84                     and Message.h files are modified to implement above messages. 
 85                 
 86                     XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete operation. 
 87                     It now creates a consumer, handler and indication instance and then calls 
 88                     CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the indication to consumer. This
 89                     program needs src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 90                     and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded in the repository
 91                     to complete the test successfully. This test program also needs Handler qualifier 
 92                     defined in repository and modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP 
 93                     class as below:
 94                 
 95                     //====================================================================
 96                     //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 97                     //====================================================================
 98                     [Description (
 99                       "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
100 kumpf 1.49.2.26       "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
101                       "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
102                 
103 kumpf 1.49.2.27 23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
104                     ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
105                     a provider library.
106 kumpf 1.49.2.28 
107                 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod interface for the 
108                     provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as type for inParameters and 
109                     outParameters, which are unable to give information about param name, type and value.
110                     This should be changed to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of
111                     the parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod call. 
112                     Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while travelling through message 
113                     queues and converts it back to array of CIMValue before calling Provider API (which 
114                     needs to be changed later). 
115                 
116                     Also added are two test programs: 
117                 	
118                     src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of CIMParamValue class.
119                 	
120                     src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to InvokeMethod and 
121                     displays the return value. Current implementation assumes that provider had returned 
122                     true value and outParameters (which are now hard coded in CIMOperationRequestDispatcher 
123                     to implement functionality) which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
124

165 kumpf 1.49.2.4     information on running the test script.
166 karl  1.49.2.5  
167                 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
168                    (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These

178                    build.
179                    When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
180 kumpf 1.49.2.6     modified to integrate with the framework.
181                 
182 kumpf 1.49.2.7  8. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Removed the ltoa() function call from Tracer.cpp.

243                 NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
244                 the DMTF.
245 mike  1.26      
246 karl  1.17      3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
247                 Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
248                 CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
249                 Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
250 mike  1.26      
251 bob   1.18      4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
252                 and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
253                 revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
254 mike  1.26      
255 bob   1.19      5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
256                 Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
257                 Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
258                 files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
259                 prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
260                 code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
261 bob   1.20      (grb)
262 mike  1.26      
263 bob   1.20      6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
264                 This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
265                 to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
266 mike  1.26      
267 karl  1.21      7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
268 mike  1.26      
269 karl  1.25      8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
270                 modifyClass,
271 chip  1.22      createClass to protect caller's object.
272 mike  1.26      
273 karl  1.25      9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
274                 directory. These
275                 interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
276                 CIMProviderStub has
277 chip  1.23      been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
278 mike  1.26      
279 sage  1.24      10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
280 mike  1.26      
281 karl  1.25      11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
282                 repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
283 mike  1.26      
284                 12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
285 mike  1.27          (MEB)
286                 
287                 13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
288                     Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
289                     Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
290                     Need to handle deleteInstance().
291                     (MEB)
292 mike  1.26      
293 mday  1.28      14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
294                 
295 karl  1.30      15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
296                 AssociationName
297 karl  1.29      and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
298                 pages.
299                 
300 karl  1.30      16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
301 sage  1.31      
302                 17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
303                 ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
304                 Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
305                 variables.
306 mike  1.32      
307                 18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
308                     References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
309                     on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
310 kumpf 1.34      
311                 19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
312                     changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
313                     buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
314                     change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
315                     lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
316                     and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
317                     these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
318 karl  1.35      
319                 20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
320                     tests for stack and queue.

331 karl  1.12      	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
332                 	is
333 karl  1.11      	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
334                 	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
335 karl  1.12      	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
336                 	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
337 karl  1.11      	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
338                 	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
339 karl  1.15      2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
340 mike  1.33      
341 karl  1.15      3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x
342 mike  1.33

351 karl  1.13      throws CannotBind exception.
352 mike  1.33      
353 karl  1.15      7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
354                 not
355 karl  1.14      print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
356                 and components of the message causing the problem.
357 mike  1.33      
358 karl  1.15      8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

369                 1. Extend HP UX port to correctly load Dynamic Load Libraries.
370                 2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
371                 3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
372                    Handler.h to work off of flag.
373                 4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
374                 5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.
375                 6. Correct errors in documentation.

384 karl  1.5       
385 karl  1.3       1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
386                 find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
387                 
388 karl  1.5       2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
389                 of dynamic lib loaading.

396 karl  1.1       
397                 1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
398                 qualifiers, methods.
399                 2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
400                 methods.
401                 3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
402                 qualifiers and to
403                 remove qualifiers.
404                 4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
405                 compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
406 karl  1.2       the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
407                 common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
408                 change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
409                 by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
410                 with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
