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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

|
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

905 with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
