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 1.66 7. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in 31 schema directory. The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and 32 will be deleted. 33 34 8. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests 35 36 9. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests 37
38 karl 1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
39 karl 1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001 40 41 1. Merged back to Main branch. All general development will be in main branch 42 in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments 43 may temporarily be in side branches. 44 Changed cimversion to 1.06. We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
45 karl 1.53 46 2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 47 implementations will be kept to separate them from the 48 repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile 49 which is the current file based repository. 50 51 Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command 52 to remove an existing repository. It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER 53 command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system 54 in the future.
55 karl 1.52
56 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder 57 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are 58 present. If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER 59 exception is thrown. Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the 60 intrinsic methods. If a parameter is specified more than once, a 61 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown. 62
63 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
64 kumpf 1.55 and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder 65 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create 66 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled. 67 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make 68 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher. 69
70 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it
71 mary 1.56 runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 72 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 73 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 74 program. 75
76 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 77 CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed 78 in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher. 79 CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 80 CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 81 CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 82 CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE 83 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE 84 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE 85 86 This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving 87 CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 88 IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 89 90 IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration 91 when a new IndicationProvider will get registered. 92 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE 93 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE 94 95 I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication 96 and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate 97 kumpf 1.58 old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 98 plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon. 99 100 There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 101 Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService. 102 103 Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

105 karl 1.52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
106 karl 1.1
107 mike 1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 - Development Branch (Work in Progress) 108 current working dev branch of build
109 mike 1.36
110 karl 1.49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 111 Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress) 112
113 mike 1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating 114 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references). 115 116 2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
117 mike 1.51 ======= 118 1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be 119 seen as part of CGIclient class displays. 120 121 2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version 122 to the final version in Schemas\CIM25. This included minor 123 corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the 124 official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF. This change 125 should not affect any current work. 126 3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas 127 directorys. Note however that today the make repository still 128 loads the 2.5 schema. 129 130 4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers 131 on XML output. 132 133 5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem 134 in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp, 135 RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp). aCC scopes variable 136 declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple 137 "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error. 138 mike 1.51 139 6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 140 dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 141 cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 142 and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 143 were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 144 provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 145 provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 146 to show user friendly error/status messages. 147 148 7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 149 (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected). 150 Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 151 generating debug output. 152 153 8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in 154 xml when it generates xml output. 155 156 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into 157 a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default 158 repository implementation. 159 mike 1.51 160 10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation. 161 162 11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element. 163 164 12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach. 165 166 13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples. 167 168 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. 169 170 15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules. 171 CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder. 172 173 16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete. 174 175 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. 176 177 18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS. 178 179 19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server 180 mike 1.51 interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with 181 a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information. 182 183 20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files 184 CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 185 input and output can be written in a trace file. 186 187 21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support 188 Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and 189 deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !). 190 191 22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and 192 ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample 193 consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the 194 indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete 195 implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and 196 RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files 197 are modified to implement above messages. 198 199 XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete 200 operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication 201 mike 1.51 instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the 202 indication to consumer. This program needs 203 src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 204 and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded 205 in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test 206 program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and 207 modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as 208 below: 209 210 //==================================================================== 211 // CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP 212 //==================================================================== 213 [Description ( 214 "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for " 215 "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML " 216 "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ] 217 218 23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in 219 ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading 220 a provider library. 221 222 mike 1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod 223 interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as 224 type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give 225 information about param name, type and value. This should be changed 226 to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the 227 parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod 228 call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while 229 travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of 230 CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed 231 later). 232 233 Also added are two test programs: 234 235 src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of 236 CIMParamValue class. 237 238 src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to 239 InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current 240 implementation assumes that provider had returned true value 241 and outParameters (which are now hard coded in 242 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality) 243 mike 1.51 which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client. 244 245 25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of 246 authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager 247 and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication 248 module has been modified to implement the local authenticator 249 interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests 250 and to verify the authentication. 251 252 A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator. 253 This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not 254 yet linked into the build. 255 256 26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export 257 Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses 258 before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send 259 request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall. 260 New changes collects the Message* as return value from the 261 appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on 262 _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully. 263 264 mike 1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to 265 fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the 266 providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name 267 construction (appending .sl or .so) from 268 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to 269 ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns 270 provider file path name. 271 272 28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication 273 Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class 274 definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap 275 structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file. 276 Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master 277 agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism. 278 Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to 279 implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 280 281 29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to 282 be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating 283 property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the 284 plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library. 285 mike 1.51 286 30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 287 to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given 288 string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 289 Changed the config file defaults for tracing. 290 291 31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq 292 NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files 293 were added: platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak, 294 library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 295 program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered 296 all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now 297 only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and 298 library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 299 File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak. 300 301 32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow 302 commas (,) in the string values of key properties. 303 304 33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6 305 306 mike 1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in 307 pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for 308 the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced 309 leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required 310 in make files. 311 312 35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 313 because getting an error in 26 314 315 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys 316 whose types are references. These reference values must be 317 treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE 318 tag structure. 319 320 Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values. 321 For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string 322 type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs. 323 324 I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and 325 CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the 326 XML in the proper format. However, making that change required 327 mike 1.51 that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key 328 of String type and a key of reference type. 329 330 I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to 331 allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of 332 reference type. The "official" form uses the same encoding for 333 key values of String type and of reference type, and so it 334 would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up 335 the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the 336 key values. This is clearly too inefficient for internal 337 transformations between CIMReferences and String values. 338 339 The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value 340 for a key of reference type (before the opening '"'). This allows 341 the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or 342 reference type. 343 344 In this example: 345 346 MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10" 347 348 mike 1.51 Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets 349 the usual encoding. Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R' 350 is inserted before its encoded value. Note that this algorithm is 351 recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type, 352 which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation. 353 354 The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry. A new 355 KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a 356 CIMReference that are of reference type. This KeyBinding type must 357 be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave 358 correctly. 359 360 The files that have been modified to make this change are 361 CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp. 362 363 A result of this change is that instances names in the instance 364 repository will include this extra 'R' character. Thus, you will 365 need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest 366 CIMOM version. 367 368 Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance 369 mike 1.51 names (such as might appear in MOF for static association 370 instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and 371 therefore unacceptable. It is likely that these points will need 372 to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class 373 definition to determine the key property types. 374 375 36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 376 in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner 377 init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 378 cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options. 379 380 37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 381 (instanceName). 382 383 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of 384 GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages. 385 Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all 386 relevant intrinsic methods. 387 388 39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase 389 ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp 390 mike 1.51 391 40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following 392 files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp, 393 TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp, 394 IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of 395 SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files 396 (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include 397 nsk platform links. 398 399 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue 400 toString() method for CIMValues of String type. The old behavior 401 returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters 402 replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents. For example, a CIMValue of a"b 403 would be returned as a"b. The new behavior just returns the 404 String value directly with no translation. (Note that 405 CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.) 406 407 This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the 408 repository. CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by 409 CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to 410 CIMValue.toString(). GetInstance searches for the instance name 411 mike 1.51 without UTF-8 encoding of special characters. For GetInstance to 412 be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name 413 in that same form, without special character encoding. 414 415 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to 416 the CIMValue class. Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(), 417 often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml(). 418 Also added some error handling in the indication handlers. 419 420 43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 421 localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 422 to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 423 CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 424 Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml. 425 426 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class 427 to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values 428 from EnumerateInstances. The client and provider APIs need to 429 be updated to use this class. 430 431 45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 432 mike 1.51 source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 433 of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 434 functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 435 String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files. 436 437 46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on 438 the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate 439 the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests. 440 Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send 441 responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation 442 supports only 'local' authentication mechanism. 443 444 47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes: 445 446 - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance> 447 to Array<CIMNamedInstance> 448 - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to 449 CIMNamedInstance 450 - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance 451 - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the 452 CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String> 453 mike 1.51 454 Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification. 455 456 These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider 457 API. For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the 458 differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function. 459 However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added 460 functionality. 461 462 When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible: 463 464 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which 465 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the 466 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the 467 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by 468 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of 469 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace 470 the entire instance. 471 472 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with 473 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive 474 mike 1.51 these instance names, as the standard dictates. 475 476 - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the 477 PropertyList instead of an Array<String>. This change allows 478 providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list. 479 480 Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in 481 ModifyInstance correctly. 482 483 48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance 484 provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and 485 ModifyInstance operations. These changes were made to comply with 486 the DMTF specification. 487 488 The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no 489 plans to do so. Providers written to the original API will 490 continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity 491 to take advantage of the features that have been added. 492 493 The significant changes to the Provider2 API are: 494 495 mike 1.51 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which 496 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the 497 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the 498 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by 499 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of 500 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace 501 the entire instance. 502 503 - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance 504 which they are required to respect. If IncludeQualifiers is 505 false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not 506 be used to update the instance. 507 508 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with 509 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive 510 these instance names, as the standard dictates. 511 512 The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated. 513 However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw 514 a NOT_SUPPORTED exception. 515 516 mike 1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform, 517 files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to 518 the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK 519 platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation 520 without the standard (std) namespace. 521 522 50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration 523 properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository: 524 repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName. 525 526 Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the 527 default provider for instance (and association) operations. The default 528 setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed. To 529 disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the 530 following command before starting cimserver: 531 532 cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p 533 534 The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what 535 provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a 536 provider. This is necessary when the repository needs to serve 537 mike 1.51 instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set 538 to "false". The default value is "repository". To register the 539 repository as an instance provider for a class, add a 540 'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition. 541 542 51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to 543 pass to providers that act as services. This handle provides 544 service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures. 545 546 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in 547 the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and 548 PropertyList parameters. Updated SetProperty in the repository 549 so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly. The repository now 550 supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance. 551 552 Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and 553 Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and 554 ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider. Providers 555 written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new 556 ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty 557 operations. Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only 558 mike 1.51 work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation. 559 560 53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the 561 Security components for authentication and authorization. 562 563 Authentication and User Management: 564 cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal 565 and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored 566 in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 567 generated password file. 568 569 cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting 570 to add/remove/list user authorizations. 571 572 User Manager and User Manager Provider components implement the user 573 management and authorization functionality. 574 575 54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory 576 under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF. 577 578 55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider 579 mike 1.51 which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider. 580 It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes. 581 582 56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h 583 and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the 584 NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file. 585 586 57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication 587 subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 588 CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 589 classes (from CIM_Events27.mof). The service also takes appropriate action 590 in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 591 or change in provider registration. 592 593 58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service 594 and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully. 595 For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 596 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf. 597 598 59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only). 599 It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined 600 mike 1.51 in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional 601 constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context 602 structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an 603 MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences 604 between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class 605 is defined even in a non-ssl environment. 606 How to use it in a Server or Client: 607 1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space 608 2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this 609 SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors 610 without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
611 mike 1.50
612 mike 1.51 The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and 613 cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag. 614 615 60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S. 616
617 kumpf 1.61 61. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2001 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner 618 class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository 619 location, Provider location and Consumer location. 620 The default location for these properties continue to be the same 621 as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the 622 Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to 623 return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home. 624 625 For more information look in to the following files: 626 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h 627 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp 628 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h 629 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp 630
631 mike 1.51 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 632 Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch 633 Tagged as version_1_01 on 3 August 2001 (sorry should have been 634 1.1 635 636 1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver 637 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler 638 and ExportClient classes. the indication. 639 640 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to 641 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively. 642 643 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and 644 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation. 645 646 2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading 647 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined 648 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler 649 and SimpleThread. 650 651 3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) Implementation of wbemexec CLI. Please refer 652 mike 1.51 to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more 653 information on using wbemexec. A simple test script is included. Please 654 see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for information on running 655 the test script. 656 657 4. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Implementation of Trace Framework. Please 658 refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf 659 and 660 src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingUserGuide.pdf for more information on using 661 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and 662 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp. 663 664 5. (Nag Boranna - HP) Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and 665 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation 666 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page 667 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on 668 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config 669 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script 670 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for 671 information on running the test script. 672 673 mike 1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects 674 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These 675 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects. 676 677 7. (Bapu Patil - HP) Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local 678 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients 679 that 680 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a 681 password. 682 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design. 683 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main 684 build. 685 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be 686 modified to integrate with the framework.

699 mike 1.36
700 karl 1.38 1. (Mike Brasher) Added support for class association operations
701 mike 1.37 (references(), associators(), referenceNames(), associatorNames()). 702
703 kumpf 1.39 2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes 704 in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names. 705
706 mike 1.41 3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes. 707 708 4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing. 709
710 kumpf 1.40 3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to 711 allow slp to compile. 712
713 mike 1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages. 714 715 5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps 716 ids to queue pointers). 717
718 mike 1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler 719 and Dispatcher. 720
721 karl 1.48 7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher 722 and 723 CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
724 chip 1.44 ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.
725 mike 1.45 726 8. (Mike Brasher) - Replaced dispatcher with a queue-based dispatcher. 727 728 9. (Mike Brasher) - Retrofited CIMOMHandle to be queue-based. 729
730 mike 1.46 10. (Mike Brasher) - Changed CIMOMHandle to carry repository pointer. 731
732 mike 1.47 11. (Mike Brasher) - Ported to TRU64. 733 734 12. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed compiler error on Linux. 735
736 karl 1.38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 737 --
738 mike 1.26
739 karl 1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
740 karl 1.16 741 1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day. This includes code bothe 742 for NT and Linux platforms.
743 mike 1.26
744 karl 1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to 745 5988. 746 NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by 747 the DMTF.
748 mike 1.26
749 karl 1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF 750 Fusion event. THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from 751 CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF. Not strictly legal but widely used. b). 752 Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
753 mike 1.26
754 bob 1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp 755 and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}. This is the first step in 756 revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
757 mike 1.26
758 bob 1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified 759 Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp. 760 Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser 761 files instead of generating your own for a particular platform. This should 762 prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome 763 code. The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
764 bob 1.20 (grb)
765 mike 1.26
766 bob 1.20 6. Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes. 767 This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler 768 to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
769 mike 1.26
770 karl 1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
771 mike 1.26
772 karl 1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance, 773 modifyClass,
774 chip 1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
775 mike 1.26
776 karl 1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2 777 directory. These 778 interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations. 779 CIMProviderStub has
780 chip 1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
781 mike 1.26
782 sage 1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
783 mike 1.26
784 karl 1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository. To rebuild 785 repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
786 mike 1.26 787 12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
788 mike 1.27 (MEB) 789 790 13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported). 791 Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still. 792 Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations). 793 Need to handle deleteInstance(). 794 (MEB)
795 mike 1.26
796 mday 1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD) 797
798 karl 1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install 799 AssociationName
800 karl 1.29 and ReferenceName functions. This included extensive update to the HTML 801 pages. 802
803 karl 1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
804 sage 1.31 805 17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed 806 ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB). 807 Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment 808 variables.
809 mike 1.32 810 18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(), 811 References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate 812 on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
813 kumpf 1.34 814 19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support 815 changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries 816 buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest 817 change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific 818 lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile 819 and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of 820 these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
821 karl 1.35 822 20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added 823 tests for stack and queue.

852 mike 1.33
853 karl 1.15 6. (KS)Corrected problem with acceptor.bind where failure was being lost. Now
854 karl 1.13 throws CannotBind exception.
855 mike 1.33
856 karl 1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors. NOTE: At this point it may 857 not
858 karl 1.14 print out all of the message. At the least it prints out the error message 859 and components of the message causing the problem.
860 mike 1.33
861 karl 1.15 8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.
862 mike 1.33
863 karl 1.15 9. (KS)Fixed problem where logs were not created unless logs directory already
864 karl 1.14 existed.
865 mike 1.33 866 10. (Mike Brasher) Added "Test" prefix to all test program names.
867 karl 1.15
868 karl 1.29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 869 --
870 karl 1.6 Version 0.97.2 871 872 1. Extend HP UX port to correctly load Dynamic Load Libraries. 873 2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types. 874 3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag. This also changed 875 Handler.h to work off of flag. 876 4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider. 877 5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules. 878 6. Correct errors in documentation. 879 7. New working papers (provider interface).
880 karl 1.8 8. Add Providerreg.exe tool. 881 9. Add trace output for messages sent from the Server.
882 mike 1.26

885 mike 1.26
886 karl 1.6 23 May 2001 Version 0.97.1 Tags as version_0_971
887 karl 1.5
888 karl 1.3 1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object 889 find functions. Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks). 890
891 karl 1.5 2. Port To HP UX. This required a number of changes particularly in the area 892 of dynamic lib loaading.
893 karl 1.1 894

897 mike 1.26
898 karl 1.3 21 May 2001 Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
899 karl 1.1 900 1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties, 901 qualifiers, methods. 902 2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier, 903 methods. 904 3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of 905 qualifiers and to 906 remove qualifiers. 907 4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX 908 compiler. It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
909 karl 1.2 the current compiler. This version of the port produces an excessively large 910 common module due to template bloat. That problem will be fixed in a future 911 change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate 912 by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems. The port has been tested 913 with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
