  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.
  9            
 10 sage  1.60 2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.

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

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

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

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

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

673 mike  1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
674            
675            5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
676               ids to queue pointers).
677            
678 mike  1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler

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

848 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
849            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
850            
851 karl  1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area

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