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.

12 kumpf 1.67 3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
13 class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
14 location, Provider location and Consumer location.
15 The default location for these properties continue to be the same
16 as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
17 Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
18 return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
19
20 For more information look in to the following files:
21 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
22 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
23 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
24 pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
25
26 4. KS - 18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
|
27 karl 1.62 This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
28 reset when a value is "set" or copied into them. the XML and MOF
29 also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
30 There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
31 the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
|
32 karl 1.63
|
33 kumpf 1.67 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
|
34 karl 1.62
|
35 kumpf 1.67 6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
|
36 karl 1.64 Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
37
|
38 kumpf 1.67 7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to
|
39 kumpf 1.65 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal()
40 method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system
41 configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use
42 modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
43
|
44 kumpf 1.67 8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
|
45 karl 1.66 schema directory. The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
46 will be deleted.
47
|
48 kumpf 1.67 9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
49
50 10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
|
51 karl 1.66
|
52 kumpf 1.67 11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
53 checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
54 Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
55 This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
56 for remote clients.

58 karl 1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
|
59 karl 1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
60
61 1. Merged back to Main branch. All general development will be in main branch
62 in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
63 may temporarily be in side branches.
64 Changed cimversion to 1.06. We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
|
65 karl 1.53
66 2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository
67 implementations will be kept to separate them from the
68 repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
69 which is the current file based repository.
70
71 Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
72 to remove an existing repository. It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
73 command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
74 in the future.
|
75 karl 1.52
|
76 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
77 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
78 present. If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
79 exception is thrown. Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
80 intrinsic methods. If a parameter is specified more than once, a
81 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
82
|
83 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
|
84 kumpf 1.55 and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
85 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
86 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
87 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
88 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
89
|
90 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it
|
91 mary 1.56 runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running
92 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver
93 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient
94 program.
95
|
96 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription,
97 CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
98 in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
99 CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
100 CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
101 CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
102 CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
103 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
104 CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
105
106 This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
107 CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from
108 IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear.
109
110 IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
111 when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
112 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
113 CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
114
115 I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
116 and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
117 kumpf 1.58 old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a
118 plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
119
120 There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create
121 Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
122
123 Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

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

637 mike 1.51 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
638 Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch
639 Tagged as version_1_01 on 3 August 2001 (sorry should have been
640 1.1
641
642 1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
643 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
644 and ExportClient classes. the indication.
645
646 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
647 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
648
649 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
650 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
651
652 2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
653 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
654 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
655 and SimpleThread.
656
657 3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) Implementation of wbemexec CLI. Please refer
658 mike 1.51 to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more
659 information on using wbemexec. A simple test script is included. Please
660 see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for information on running
661 the test script.
662
663 4. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Implementation of Trace Framework. Please
664 refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf
665 and
666 src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingUserGuide.pdf for more information on using
667 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
668 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
669
670 5. (Nag Boranna - HP) Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
671 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
672 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page
673 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on
674 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
675 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
676 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
677 information on running the test script.
678
679 mike 1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
680 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
681 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
682
683 7. (Bapu Patil - HP) Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
684 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
685 that
686 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
687 password.
688 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
689 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
690 build.
691 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
692 modified to integrate with the framework.

745 karl 1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
|
746 karl 1.16
747 1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day. This includes code bothe
748 for NT and Linux platforms.
|
749 mike 1.26
|
750 karl 1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
751 5988.
752 NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
753 the DMTF.
|
754 mike 1.26
|
755 karl 1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
756 Fusion event. THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
757 CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF. Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
758 Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
|
759 mike 1.26
|
760 bob 1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
761 and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}. This is the first step in
762 revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
|
763 mike 1.26
|
764 bob 1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
765 Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
766 Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
767 files instead of generating your own for a particular platform. This should
768 prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
769 code. The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
|
770 bob 1.20 (grb)
|
771 mike 1.26
|
772 bob 1.20 6. Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
773 This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
774 to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
|
775 mike 1.26
|
776 karl 1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
|
777 mike 1.26
|
778 karl 1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
779 modifyClass,
|
780 chip 1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
|
781 mike 1.26
|
782 karl 1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
783 directory. These
784 interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
785 CIMProviderStub has
|
786 chip 1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
|
787 mike 1.26
|
788 sage 1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
|
789 mike 1.26
|
790 karl 1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository. To rebuild
791 repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
|
792 mike 1.26
793 12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
|
794 mike 1.27 (MEB)
795
796 13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
797 Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
798 Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
799 Need to handle deleteInstance().
800 (MEB)
|
801 mike 1.26
|
802 mday 1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
803
|
804 karl 1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
805 AssociationName
|
806 karl 1.29 and ReferenceName functions. This included extensive update to the HTML
807 pages.
808
|
809 karl 1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
|
810 sage 1.31
811 17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
812 ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
813 Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
814 variables.
|
815 mike 1.32
816 18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
817 References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
818 on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
|
819 kumpf 1.34
820 19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
821 changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
822 buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
823 change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
824 lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
825 and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
826 these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
|
827 karl 1.35
828 20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
829 tests for stack and queue.

906 1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
907 qualifiers, methods.
908 2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
909 methods.
910 3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
911 qualifiers and to
912 remove qualifiers.
913 4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
914 compiler. It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
|
915 karl 1.2 the current compiler. This version of the port produces an excessively large
916 common module due to template bloat. That problem will be fixed in a future
917 change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
918 by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems. The port has been tested
919 with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
