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 karl 1.63 19 4. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
20 karl 1.62
21 karl 1.64 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers. 22 Note that this version of the paper still needs work. 23
24 kumpf 1.65 6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 25 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 26 method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 27 configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 28 modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface. 29
30 karl 1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
31 karl 1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001 32 33 1. Merged back to Main branch. All general development will be in main branch 34 in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments 35 may temporarily be in side branches. 36 Changed cimversion to 1.06. We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
37 karl 1.53 38 2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 39 implementations will be kept to separate them from the 40 repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile 41 which is the current file based repository. 42 43 Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command 44 to remove an existing repository. It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER 45 command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system 46 in the future.
47 karl 1.52
48 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder 49 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are 50 present. If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER 51 exception is thrown. Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the 52 intrinsic methods. If a parameter is specified more than once, a 53 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown. 54
55 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
56 kumpf 1.55 and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder 57 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create 58 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled. 59 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make 60 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher. 61
62 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it
63 mary 1.56 runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 64 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 65 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 66 program. 67
68 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 69 CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed 70 in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher. 71 CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 72 CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 73 CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 74 CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 75 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE 76 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE 77 78 This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving 79 CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 80 IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 81 82 IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration 83 when a new IndicationProvider will get registered. 84 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE 85 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE 86 87 I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication 88 and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate 89 kumpf 1.58 old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 90 plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon. 91 92 There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 93 Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService. 94 95 Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

98 karl 1.1
99 mike 1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 - Development Branch (Work in Progress) 100 current working dev branch of build
101 mike 1.36
102 karl 1.49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 103 Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress) 104
105 mike 1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating 106 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references). 107 108 2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
109 mike 1.51 ======= 110 1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be 111 seen as part of CGIclient class displays. 112 113 2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version 114 to the final version in Schemas\CIM25. This included minor 115 corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the 116 official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF. This change 117 should not affect any current work. 118 3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas 119 directorys. Note however that today the make repository still 120 loads the 2.5 schema. 121 122 4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers 123 on XML output. 124 125 5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem 126 in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp, 127 RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp). aCC scopes variable 128 declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple 129 "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error. 130 mike 1.51 131 6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 132 dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 133 cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 134 and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 135 were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 136 provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 137 provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 138 to show user friendly error/status messages. 139 140 7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 141 (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected). 142 Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 143 generating debug output. 144 145 8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in 146 xml when it generates xml output. 147 148 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into 149 a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default 150 repository implementation. 151 mike 1.51 152 10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation. 153 154 11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element. 155 156 12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach. 157 158 13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples. 159 160 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. 161 162 15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules. 163 CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder. 164 165 16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete. 166 167 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. 168 169 18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS. 170 171 19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server 172 mike 1.51 interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with 173 a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information. 174 175 20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files 176 CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 177 input and output can be written in a trace file. 178 179 21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support 180 Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and 181 deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !). 182 183 22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and 184 ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample 185 consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the 186 indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete 187 implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and 188 RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files 189 are modified to implement above messages. 190 191 XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete 192 operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication 193 mike 1.51 instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the 194 indication to consumer. This program needs 195 src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 196 and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded 197 in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test 198 program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and 199 modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as 200 below: 201 202 //==================================================================== 203 // CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP 204 //==================================================================== 205 [Description ( 206 "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for " 207 "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML " 208 "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ] 209 210 23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in 211 ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading 212 a provider library. 213 214 mike 1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod 215 interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as 216 type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give 217 information about param name, type and value. This should be changed 218 to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the 219 parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod 220 call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while 221 travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of 222 CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed 223 later). 224 225 Also added are two test programs: 226 227 src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of 228 CIMParamValue class. 229 230 src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to 231 InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current 232 implementation assumes that provider had returned true value 233 and outParameters (which are now hard coded in 234 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality) 235 mike 1.51 which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client. 236 237 25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of 238 authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager 239 and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication 240 module has been modified to implement the local authenticator 241 interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests 242 and to verify the authentication. 243 244 A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator. 245 This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not 246 yet linked into the build. 247 248 26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export 249 Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses 250 before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send 251 request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall. 252 New changes collects the Message* as return value from the 253 appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on 254 _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully. 255 256 mike 1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to 257 fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the 258 providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name 259 construction (appending .sl or .so) from 260 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to 261 ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns 262 provider file path name. 263 264 28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication 265 Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class 266 definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap 267 structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file. 268 Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master 269 agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism. 270 Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to 271 implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 272 273 29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to 274 be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating 275 property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the 276 plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library. 277 mike 1.51 278 30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 279 to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given 280 string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 281 Changed the config file defaults for tracing. 282 283 31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq 284 NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files 285 were added: platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak, 286 library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 287 program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered 288 all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now 289 only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and 290 library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 291 File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak. 292 293 32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow 294 commas (,) in the string values of key properties. 295 296 33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6 297 298 mike 1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in 299 pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for 300 the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced 301 leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required 302 in make files. 303 304 35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 305 because getting an error in 26 306 307 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys 308 whose types are references. These reference values must be 309 treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE 310 tag structure. 311 312 Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values. 313 For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string 314 type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs. 315 316 I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and 317 CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the 318 XML in the proper format. However, making that change required 319 mike 1.51 that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key 320 of String type and a key of reference type. 321 322 I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to 323 allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of 324 reference type. The "official" form uses the same encoding for 325 key values of String type and of reference type, and so it 326 would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up 327 the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the 328 key values. This is clearly too inefficient for internal 329 transformations between CIMReferences and String values. 330 331 The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value 332 for a key of reference type (before the opening '"'). This allows 333 the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or 334 reference type. 335 336 In this example: 337 338 MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10" 339 340 mike 1.51 Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets 341 the usual encoding. Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R' 342 is inserted before its encoded value. Note that this algorithm is 343 recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type, 344 which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation. 345 346 The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry. A new 347 KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a 348 CIMReference that are of reference type. This KeyBinding type must 349 be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave 350 correctly. 351 352 The files that have been modified to make this change are 353 CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp. 354 355 A result of this change is that instances names in the instance 356 repository will include this extra 'R' character. Thus, you will 357 need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest 358 CIMOM version. 359 360 Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance 361 mike 1.51 names (such as might appear in MOF for static association 362 instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and 363 therefore unacceptable. It is likely that these points will need 364 to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class 365 definition to determine the key property types. 366 367 36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 368 in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner 369 init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 370 cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options. 371 372 37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 373 (instanceName). 374 375 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of 376 GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages. 377 Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all 378 relevant intrinsic methods. 379 380 39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase 381 ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp 382 mike 1.51 383 40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following 384 files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp, 385 TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp, 386 IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of 387 SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files 388 (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include 389 nsk platform links. 390 391 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue 392 toString() method for CIMValues of String type. The old behavior 393 returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters 394 replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents. For example, a CIMValue of a"b 395 would be returned as a"b. The new behavior just returns the 396 String value directly with no translation. (Note that 397 CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.) 398 399 This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the 400 repository. CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by 401 CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to 402 CIMValue.toString(). GetInstance searches for the instance name 403 mike 1.51 without UTF-8 encoding of special characters. For GetInstance to 404 be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name 405 in that same form, without special character encoding. 406 407 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to 408 the CIMValue class. Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(), 409 often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml(). 410 Also added some error handling in the indication handlers. 411 412 43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 413 localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 414 to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 415 CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 416 Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml. 417 418 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class 419 to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values 420 from EnumerateInstances. The client and provider APIs need to 421 be updated to use this class. 422 423 45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 424 mike 1.51 source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 425 of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 426 functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 427 String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files. 428 429 46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on 430 the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate 431 the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests. 432 Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send 433 responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation 434 supports only 'local' authentication mechanism. 435 436 47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes: 437 438 - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance> 439 to Array<CIMNamedInstance> 440 - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to 441 CIMNamedInstance 442 - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance 443 - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the 444 CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String> 445 mike 1.51 446 Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification. 447 448 These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider 449 API. For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the 450 differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function. 451 However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added 452 functionality. 453 454 When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible: 455 456 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which 457 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the 458 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the 459 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by 460 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of 461 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace 462 the entire instance. 463 464 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with 465 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive 466 mike 1.51 these instance names, as the standard dictates. 467 468 - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the 469 PropertyList instead of an Array<String>. This change allows 470 providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list. 471 472 Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in 473 ModifyInstance correctly. 474 475 48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance 476 provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and 477 ModifyInstance operations. These changes were made to comply with 478 the DMTF specification. 479 480 The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no 481 plans to do so. Providers written to the original API will 482 continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity 483 to take advantage of the features that have been added. 484 485 The significant changes to the Provider2 API are: 486 487 mike 1.51 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which 488 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the 489 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the 490 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by 491 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of 492 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace 493 the entire instance. 494 495 - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance 496 which they are required to respect. If IncludeQualifiers is 497 false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not 498 be used to update the instance. 499 500 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with 501 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive 502 these instance names, as the standard dictates. 503 504 The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated. 505 However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw 506 a NOT_SUPPORTED exception. 507 508 mike 1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform, 509 files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to 510 the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK 511 platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation 512 without the standard (std) namespace. 513 514 50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration 515 properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository: 516 repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName. 517 518 Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the 519 default provider for instance (and association) operations. The default 520 setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed. To 521 disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the 522 following command before starting cimserver: 523 524 cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p 525 526 The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what 527 provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a 528 provider. This is necessary when the repository needs to serve 529 mike 1.51 instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set 530 to "false". The default value is "repository". To register the 531 repository as an instance provider for a class, add a 532 'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition. 533 534 51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to 535 pass to providers that act as services. This handle provides 536 service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures. 537 538 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in 539 the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and 540 PropertyList parameters. Updated SetProperty in the repository 541 so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly. The repository now 542 supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance. 543 544 Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and 545 Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and 546 ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider. Providers 547 written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new 548 ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty 549 operations. Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only 550 mike 1.51 work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation. 551 552 53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the 553 Security components for authentication and authorization. 554 555 Authentication and User Management: 556 cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal 557 and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored 558 in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 559 generated password file. 560 561 cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting 562 to add/remove/list user authorizations. 563 564 User Manager and User Manager Provider components implement the user 565 management and authorization functionality. 566 567 54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory 568 under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF. 569 570 55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider 571 mike 1.51 which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider. 572 It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes. 573 574 56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h 575 and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the 576 NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file. 577 578 57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication 579 subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 580 CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 581 classes (from CIM_Events27.mof). The service also takes appropriate action 582 in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 583 or change in provider registration. 584 585 58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service 586 and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully. 587 For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 588 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf. 589 590 59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only). 591 It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined 592 mike 1.51 in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional 593 constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context 594 structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an 595 MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences 596 between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class 597 is defined even in a non-ssl environment. 598 How to use it in a Server or Client: 599 1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space 600 2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this 601 SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors 602 without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
603 mike 1.50
604 mike 1.51 The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and 605 cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag. 606 607 60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S. 608
609 kumpf 1.61 61. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2001 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner 610 class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository 611 location, Provider location and Consumer location. 612 The default location for these properties continue to be the same 613 as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the 614 Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to 615 return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home. 616 617 For more information look in to the following files: 618 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h 619 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp 620 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h 621 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp 622
623 mike 1.51 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 624 Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch 625 Tagged as version_1_01 on 3 August 2001 (sorry should have been 626 1.1 627 628 1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver 629 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler 630 and ExportClient classes. the indication. 631 632 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to 633 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively. 634 635 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and 636 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation. 637 638 2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading 639 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined 640 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler 641 and SimpleThread. 642 643 3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) Implementation of wbemexec CLI. Please refer 644 mike 1.51 to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more 645 information on using wbemexec. A simple test script is included. Please 646 see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for information on running 647 the test script. 648 649 4. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Implementation of Trace Framework. Please 650 refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf 651 and 652 src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingUserGuide.pdf for more information on using 653 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and 654 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp. 655 656 5. (Nag Boranna - HP) Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and 657 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation 658 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page 659 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on 660 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config 661 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script 662 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for 663 information on running the test script. 664 665 mike 1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects 666 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These 667 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects. 668 669 7. (Bapu Patil - HP) Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local 670 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients 671 that 672 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a 673 password. 674 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design. 675 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main 676 build. 677 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be 678 modified to integrate with the framework.

691 mike 1.36
692 karl 1.38 1. (Mike Brasher) Added support for class association operations
693 mike 1.37 (references(), associators(), referenceNames(), associatorNames()). 694
695 kumpf 1.39 2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes 696 in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names. 697
698 mike 1.41 3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes. 699 700 4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing. 701
702 kumpf 1.40 3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to 703 allow slp to compile. 704
705 mike 1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages. 706 707 5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps 708 ids to queue pointers). 709
710 mike 1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler 711 and Dispatcher. 712
713 karl 1.48 7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher 714 and 715 CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
716 chip 1.44 ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.
717 mike 1.45 718 8. (Mike Brasher) - Replaced dispatcher with a queue-based dispatcher. 719 720 9. (Mike Brasher) - Retrofited CIMOMHandle to be queue-based. 721
722 mike 1.46 10. (Mike Brasher) - Changed CIMOMHandle to carry repository pointer. 723
724 mike 1.47 11. (Mike Brasher) - Ported to TRU64. 725 726 12. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed compiler error on Linux. 727
728 karl 1.38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 729 --
730 mike 1.26
731 karl 1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
732 karl 1.16 733 1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day. This includes code bothe 734 for NT and Linux platforms.
735 mike 1.26
736 karl 1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to 737 5988. 738 NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by 739 the DMTF.
740 mike 1.26
741 karl 1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF 742 Fusion event. THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from 743 CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF. Not strictly legal but widely used. b). 744 Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
745 mike 1.26
746 bob 1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp 747 and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}. This is the first step in 748 revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
749 mike 1.26
750 bob 1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified 751 Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp. 752 Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser 753 files instead of generating your own for a particular platform. This should 754 prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome 755 code. The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
756 bob 1.20 (grb)
757 mike 1.26
758 bob 1.20 6. Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes. 759 This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler 760 to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
761 mike 1.26
762 karl 1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
763 mike 1.26
764 karl 1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance, 765 modifyClass,
766 chip 1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
767 mike 1.26
768 karl 1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2 769 directory. These 770 interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations. 771 CIMProviderStub has
772 chip 1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
773 mike 1.26
774 sage 1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
775 mike 1.26
776 karl 1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository. To rebuild 777 repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
778 mike 1.26 779 12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
780 mike 1.27 (MEB) 781 782 13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported). 783 Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still. 784 Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations). 785 Need to handle deleteInstance(). 786 (MEB)
787 mike 1.26
788 mday 1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD) 789
790 karl 1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install 791 AssociationName
792 karl 1.29 and ReferenceName functions. This included extensive update to the HTML 793 pages. 794
795 karl 1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
796 sage 1.31 797 17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed 798 ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB). 799 Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment 800 variables.
801 mike 1.32 802 18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(), 803 References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate 804 on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
805 kumpf 1.34 806 19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support 807 changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries 808 buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest 809 change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific 810 lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile 811 and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of 812 these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
813 karl 1.35 814 20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added 815 tests for stack and queue.

840 karl 1.12 are put
841 mike 1.33
842 karl 1.15 5. (KS)Added TestClient that executes a series of tests against a server. 843 This is a preliminary version.
844 mike 1.33
845 karl 1.15 6. (KS)Corrected problem with acceptor.bind where failure was being lost. Now
846 karl 1.13 throws CannotBind exception.
847 mike 1.33
848 karl 1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors. NOTE: At this point it may 849 not
850 karl 1.14 print out all of the message. At the least it prints out the error message 851 and components of the message causing the problem.
852 mike 1.33
853 karl 1.15 8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.
854 mike 1.33
855 karl 1.15 9. (KS)Fixed problem where logs were not created unless logs directory already
856 karl 1.14 existed.
857 mike 1.33 858 10. (Mike Brasher) Added "Test" prefix to all test program names.
859 karl 1.15
860 karl 1.29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 861 --
862 karl 1.6 Version 0.97.2 863 864 1. Extend HP UX port to correctly load Dynamic Load Libraries. 865 2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types. 866 3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag. This also changed 867 Handler.h to work off of flag. 868 4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider. 869 5.

877 mike 1.26
878 karl 1.6 23 May 2001 Version 0.97.1 Tags as version_0_971
879 karl 1.5
880 karl 1.3 1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object 881 find functions. Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks). 882
883 karl 1.5 2. Port To HP UX. This required a number of changes particularly in the area 884 of dynamic lib loaading.
885 karl 1.1 886

889 mike 1.26
890 karl 1.3 21 May 2001 Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
891 karl 1.1 892 1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties, 893 qualifiers, methods. 894 2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier, 895 methods. 896 3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of 897 qualifiers and to 898 remove qualifiers. 899 4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX 900 compiler. It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
901 karl 1.2 the current compiler. This version of the port produces an excessively large 902 common module due to template bloat. That problem will be fixed in a future 903 change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate 904 by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems. The port has been tested 905 with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
