  4            Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  5            Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  6            TAG: VERSION_1_07
  7            
  8            1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.

 12 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 13            
 14            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 15                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 16                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 17                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 18 karl  1.53        
 19            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 20            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 21            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 22            	which is the current file based repository.
 23            	
 24            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 25            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 26            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 27            	in the future.
 28 karl  1.52 
 29 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 30               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 31               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 32               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 33               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 34               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 35            
 36 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 37 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 38               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 39               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 40               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 41               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 42            
 43 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 44 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 45               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 46               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 47               program.
 48            
 49 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 50                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 51                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 52                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 53                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 54                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 55                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 56                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 57                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 58            
 59                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 60                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 61                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 62            
 63                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 64                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 65                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 66                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 67            
 68                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 69                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 70 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 71                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 72            
 73                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 74                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 75            
 76                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 80 mike  1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 81            		current working dev branch of build
 82 mike  1.36 
 83 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 84            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 85            
 86 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 87               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 88            
 89            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 90 mike  1.51 =======
 91            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 92            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 93            	
 94            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 95            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 96            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 97            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 98            	should not affect any current work.
 99            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
100            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
101            	loads the 2.5 schema.
102            	
103            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
104                    on XML output.
105                    
106            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
107            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
108            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
109            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
110            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
111 mike  1.51 
112            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
113            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
114            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
115            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
116            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
117            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
118            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
119            to show user friendly error/status messages.
120                    
121            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
122            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
123            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
124            generating debug output.
125            
126            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
127            xml when it generates xml output.
128            
129            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
130            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
131            repository implementation.
132 mike  1.51 
133            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
134            
135            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
136            
137            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
138            
139            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
140            
141            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.
142            
143            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
144                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
145            
146            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
147            
148            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.
149            
150            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
151            
152            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
153 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
154                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
155            
156            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
157                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
158                input and output can be written in a trace file.
159            
160            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
161                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
162                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
163            
164            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
165                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
166                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
167                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
168                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
169                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
170                are modified to implement above messages. 
171            
172                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
173                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
174 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
175                indication to consumer. This program needs
176                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
177                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
178                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
179                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
180                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
181                below:
182            
183                //====================================================================
184                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
185                //====================================================================
186                [Description (
187                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
188                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
189                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
190            
191            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
192                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
193                a provider library.
194            
195 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
196                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
197                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
198                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
199                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
200                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
201                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
202                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
203                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
204                later). 
205            
206                Also added are two test programs: 
207            	
208                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
209                    CIMParamValue class.
210            	
211                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
212                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
213                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
214                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
215                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
216 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
217            
218            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
219                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
220                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
221                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
222                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
223                and to verify the authentication.
224            
225                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
226                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
227                yet linked into the build.
228            
229            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
230                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
231                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
232                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
233                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
234                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
235                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
236            
237 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
238                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
239                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
240                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
241                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
242                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
243                provider file path name.
244            
245            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
246                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
247                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
248                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
249                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
250                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
251                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
252                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
253            
254            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
255                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
256                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
257                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
258 mike  1.51 
259            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
260                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
261                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
262                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
263            
264            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
265                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
266                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
267                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
268                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
269                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
270                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
271                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
272                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
273            
274            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
275                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
276                
277            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
278            
279 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
280                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
281                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
282                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
283                in make files.
284               
285            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
286                because getting an error in 26
287            
288            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
289                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
290                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
291                tag structure.
292            
293                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
294                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
295                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
296            
297                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
298                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
299                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
300 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
301                of String type and a key of reference type.
302            
303                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
304                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
305                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
306                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
307                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
308                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
309                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
310                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
311            
312                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
313                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
314                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
315                reference type.
316            
317                In this example:
318            
319                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
320            
321 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
322                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
323                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
324                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
325                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
326            
327                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
328                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
329                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
330                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
331                correctly.
332            
333                The files that have been modified to make this change are
334                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
335            
336                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
337                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
338                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
339                CIMOM version.
340            
341                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
342 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
343                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
344                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
345                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
346                definition to determine the key property types.
347            
348            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
349                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
350                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
351                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
352            
353            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
354                (instanceName).
355            
356            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
357                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
358                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
359                relevant intrinsic methods.
360            
361            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
362                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
363 mike  1.51 
364            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
365                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
366                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
367                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
368                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
369                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
370                nsk platform links. 
371            
372            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
373                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
374                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
375                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
376                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
377                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
378                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
379            
380                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
381                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
382                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
383                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
384 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
385                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
386                in that same form, without special character encoding.
387            
388            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
389                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
390                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
391                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
392            
393            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
394                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
395                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
396                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
397                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
398            
399            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
400                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
401                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
402                be updated to use this class.
403            
404            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
405 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
406                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
407                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
408                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
409            
410            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
411                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
412                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
413                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
414                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
415                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
416            
417            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
418            
419                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
420                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
421                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
422                      CIMNamedInstance
423                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
424                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
425                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
426 mike  1.51 
427                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
428            
429                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
430                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
431                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
432                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
433                functionality.
434            
435                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
436            
437                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
438                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
439                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
440                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
441                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
442                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
443                      the entire instance.
444            
445                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
446                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
447 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
448            
449                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
450                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
451                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
452            
453                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
454                ModifyInstance correctly.
455            
456            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
457                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
458                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
459                the DMTF specification.
460            
461                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
462                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
463                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
464                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
465            
466                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
467            
468 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
469                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
470                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
471                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
472                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
473                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
474                      the entire instance.
475            
476                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
477                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
478                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
479                      be used to update the instance.
480            
481                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
482                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
483                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
484            
485                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
486                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
487                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
488            
489 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
490                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
491                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
492                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
493                without the standard (std) namespace.
494            
495            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
496                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
497                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
498            
499                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
500                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
501                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
502                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
503                following command before starting cimserver:
504            
505                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
506            
507                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
508                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
509                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
510 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
511                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
512                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
513                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
514            
515            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
516                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
517                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
518            
519            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
520                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
521                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
522                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
523                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
524            
525                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
526                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
527                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
528                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
529                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
530                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
531 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
532            
533            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
534                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
535            
536                Authentication and User Management:
537                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
538                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
539                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
540                generated password file. 
541            
542                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
543                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
544                
545                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
546                management and authorization functionality.   
547            
548            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
549                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
550            
551            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
552 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
553                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
554            
555            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
556                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
557                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
558              
559            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
560                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
561                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
562                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
563                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
564                or change in provider registration.  
565            
566            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
567                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
568                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
569                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
570            
571            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
572                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
573 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
574                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
575                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
576                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
577                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
578                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
579                How to use it in a Server or Client:
580                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
581                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
582                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
583                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
584 mike  1.50 
585 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
586                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
587            
588            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.
589

627 mike  1.51    using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
628               mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
629               is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
630               information on running the test script.
631            
632            6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
633               (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
634               functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.

636            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
637               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
638               that
639               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
640               password.
641               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
642               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
643               build.
644               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
645               modified to integrate with the framework.

666            
667            4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.
668            
669 kumpf 1.40 3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
670               allow slp to compile.

672 mike  1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
673            
674            5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
675               ids to queue pointers).
676            
677 mike  1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
678               and Dispatcher.
679            
680 karl  1.48 7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
681            and
682               CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
683 chip  1.44    ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

698 karl  1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
699 karl  1.16 
700            1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
701            for NT and Linux platforms.
702 mike  1.26 
703 karl  1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
704            5988.
705            NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
706            the DMTF.
707 mike  1.26 
708 karl  1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
709            Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
710            CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
711            Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
712 mike  1.26 
713 bob   1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
714            and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
715            revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
716 mike  1.26 
717 bob   1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
718            Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
719            Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
720            files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
721            prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
722            code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
723 bob   1.20 (grb)
724 mike  1.26 
725 bob   1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
726            This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
727            to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
728 mike  1.26 
729 karl  1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
730 mike  1.26 
731 karl  1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
732            modifyClass,
733 chip  1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
734 mike  1.26 
735 karl  1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
736            directory. These
737            interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
738            CIMProviderStub has
739 chip  1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
740 mike  1.26 
741 sage  1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
742 mike  1.26 
743 karl  1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
744            repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
745 mike  1.26 
746            12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
747 mike  1.27     (MEB)
748            
749            13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
750                Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
751                Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
752                Need to handle deleteInstance().
753                (MEB)
754 mike  1.26 
755 mday  1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
756            
757 karl  1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
758            AssociationName
759 karl  1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
760            pages.
761            
762 karl  1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
763 sage  1.31 
764            17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
765            ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
766            Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
767            variables.
768 mike  1.32 
769            18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
770                References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
771                on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
772 kumpf 1.34 
773            19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
774                changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
775                buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
776                change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
777                lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
778                and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
779                these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
780 karl  1.35 
781            20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
782                tests for stack and queue.

847 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
848            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).

858 karl  1.1  
859            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
860            qualifiers, methods.
861            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
862            methods.
863            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
864            qualifiers and to
865            remove qualifiers.
866            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
867            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
868 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
869            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
870            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
871            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
872            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
