  1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
  2 karl  1.59 
  3            
  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.
 11 karl  1.59 
 12 karl  1.62 3. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 13               This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 14               reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 15               also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 16               There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 17               the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 18            
 19 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 20 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 21            
 22            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 23                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 24                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 25                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 26 karl  1.53        
 27            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 28            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 29            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 30            	which is the current file based repository.
 31            	
 32            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 33            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 34            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 35            	in the future.
 36 karl  1.52 
 37 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 38               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 39               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 40               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 41               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 42               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 43            
 44 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 45 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 46               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 47               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 48               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 49               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 50            
 51 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 52 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 53               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 54               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 55               program.
 56            
 57 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 58                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 59                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 60                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 61                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 62                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 63                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 64                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 65                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 66            
 67                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 68                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 69                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 70            
 71                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 72                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 73                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 74                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 75            
 76                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 77                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 78 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 79                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 80            
 81                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 82                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 83            
 84                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 87 karl  1.1  
 88 mike  1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 89            		current working dev branch of build
 90 mike  1.36 
 91 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 92            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 93            
 94 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 95               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 96            
 97            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 98 mike  1.51 =======
 99            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
100            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
101            	
102            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
103            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
104            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
105            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
106            	should not affect any current work.
107            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
108            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
109            	loads the 2.5 schema.
110            	
111            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
112                    on XML output.
113                    
114            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
115            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
116            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
117            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
118            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
119 mike  1.51 
120            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
121            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
122            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
123            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
124            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
125            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
126            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
127            to show user friendly error/status messages.
128                    
129            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
130            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
131            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
132            generating debug output.
133            
134            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
135            xml when it generates xml output.
136            
137            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
138            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
139            repository implementation.
140 mike  1.51 
141            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
142            
143            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
144            
145            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
146            
147            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
148            
149            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.
150            
151            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
152                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
153            
154            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
155            
156            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.
157            
158            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
159            
160            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
161 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
162                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
163            
164            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
165                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
166                input and output can be written in a trace file.
167            
168            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
169                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
170                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
171            
172            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
173                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
174                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
175                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
176                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
177                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
178                are modified to implement above messages. 
179            
180                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
181                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
182 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
183                indication to consumer. This program needs
184                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
185                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
186                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
187                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
188                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
189                below:
190            
191                //====================================================================
192                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
193                //====================================================================
194                [Description (
195                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
196                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
197                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
198            
199            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
200                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
201                a provider library.
202            
203 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
204                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
205                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
206                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
207                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
208                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
209                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
210                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
211                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
212                later). 
213            
214                Also added are two test programs: 
215            	
216                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
217                    CIMParamValue class.
218            	
219                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
220                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
221                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
222                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
223                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
224 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
225            
226            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
227                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
228                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
229                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
230                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
231                and to verify the authentication.
232            
233                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
234                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
235                yet linked into the build.
236            
237            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
238                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
239                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
240                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
241                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
242                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
243                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
244            
245 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
246                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
247                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
248                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
249                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
250                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
251                provider file path name.
252            
253            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
254                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
255                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
256                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
257                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
258                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
259                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
260                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
261            
262            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
263                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
264                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
265                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
266 mike  1.51 
267            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
268                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
269                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
270                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
271            
272            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
273                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
274                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
275                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
276                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
277                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
278                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
279                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
280                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
281            
282            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
283                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
284                
285            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
286            
287 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
288                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
289                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
290                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
291                in make files.
292               
293            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
294                because getting an error in 26
295            
296            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
297                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
298                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
299                tag structure.
300            
301                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
302                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
303                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
304            
305                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
306                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
307                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
308 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
309                of String type and a key of reference type.
310            
311                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
312                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
313                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
314                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
315                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
316                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
317                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
318                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
319            
320                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
321                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
322                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
323                reference type.
324            
325                In this example:
326            
327                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
328            
329 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
330                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
331                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
332                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
333                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
334            
335                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
336                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
337                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
338                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
339                correctly.
340            
341                The files that have been modified to make this change are
342                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
343            
344                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
345                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
346                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
347                CIMOM version.
348            
349                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
350 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
351                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
352                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
353                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
354                definition to determine the key property types.
355            
356            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
357                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
358                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
359                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
360            
361            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
362                (instanceName).
363            
364            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
365                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
366                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
367                relevant intrinsic methods.
368            
369            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
370                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
371 mike  1.51 
372            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
373                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
374                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
375                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
376                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
377                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
378                nsk platform links. 
379            
380            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
381                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
382                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
383                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
384                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
385                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
386                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
387            
388                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
389                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
390                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
391                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
392 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
393                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
394                in that same form, without special character encoding.
395            
396            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
397                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
398                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
399                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
400            
401            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
402                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
403                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
404                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
405                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
406            
407            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
408                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
409                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
410                be updated to use this class.
411            
412            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
413 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
414                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
415                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
416                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
417            
418            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
419                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
420                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
421                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
422                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
423                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
424            
425            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
426            
427                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
428                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
429                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
430                      CIMNamedInstance
431                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
432                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
433                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
434 mike  1.51 
435                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
436            
437                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
438                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
439                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
440                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
441                functionality.
442            
443                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
444            
445                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
446                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
447                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
448                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
449                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
450                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
451                      the entire instance.
452            
453                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
454                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
455 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
456            
457                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
458                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
459                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
460            
461                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
462                ModifyInstance correctly.
463            
464            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
465                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
466                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
467                the DMTF specification.
468            
469                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
470                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
471                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
472                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
473            
474                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
475            
476 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
477                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
478                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
479                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
480                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
481                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
482                      the entire instance.
483            
484                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
485                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
486                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
487                      be used to update the instance.
488            
489                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
490                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
491                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
492            
493                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
494                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
495                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
496            
497 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
498                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
499                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
500                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
501                without the standard (std) namespace.
502            
503            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
504                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
505                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
506            
507                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
508                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
509                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
510                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
511                following command before starting cimserver:
512            
513                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
514            
515                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
516                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
517                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
518 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
519                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
520                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
521                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
522            
523            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
524                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
525                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
526            
527            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
528                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
529                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
530                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
531                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
532            
533                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
534                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
535                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
536                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
537                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
538                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
539 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
540            
541            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
542                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
543            
544                Authentication and User Management:
545                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
546                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
547                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
548                generated password file. 
549            
550                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
551                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
552                
553                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
554                management and authorization functionality.   
555            
556            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
557                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
558            
559            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
560 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
561                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
562            
563            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
564                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
565                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
566              
567            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
568                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
569                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
570                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
571                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
572                or change in provider registration.  
573            
574            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
575                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
576                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
577                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
578            
579            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
580                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
581 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
582                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
583                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
584                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
585                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
586                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
587                How to use it in a Server or Client:
588                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
589                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
590                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
591                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
592 mike  1.50 
593 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
594                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
595            
596            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.
597            
598 kumpf 1.61 61. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2001 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner 
599                class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository 
600                location, Provider location and Consumer location. 
601                The default location for these properties continue to be the same 
602                as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
603                Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
604                return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
605

654 mike  1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
655               (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
656               functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
657            
658            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
659               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
660               that
661               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
662               password.
663               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
664               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
665               build.
666               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
667               modified to integrate with the framework.

679 karl  1.48 Version -.99.0 - Tagged as version 0.99,17 July 8:00 am - KS
680 mike  1.36 
681 karl  1.38 1. (Mike Brasher) Added support for class association operations
682 mike  1.37     (references(), associators(), referenceNames(), associatorNames()).
683            
684 kumpf 1.39 2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes
685               in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names.
686            
687 mike  1.41 3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes.
688            
689            4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.
690            
691 kumpf 1.40 3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
692               allow slp to compile.
693            
694 mike  1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
695            
696            5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
697               ids to queue pointers).
698            
699 mike  1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
700               and Dispatcher.
701            
702 karl  1.48 7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
703            and
704               CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
705 chip  1.44    ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.
706 mike  1.45 
707            8. (Mike Brasher) - Replaced dispatcher with a queue-based dispatcher.

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

869 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
870            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
871

880 karl  1.1  
881            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
882            qualifiers, methods.
883            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
884            methods.
885            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
886            qualifiers and to
887            remove qualifiers.
888            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
889            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
890 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
891            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
892            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
893            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
894            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
