   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 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.
  57 karl  1.66 
  58 kumpf 1.68 12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
  59                method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
  60                of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
  61                allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
  62                having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
  63                the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
  64                values.
  65            
  66                PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
  67            
  68                Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
  69                parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
  70                regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
  71                was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
  72                parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
  73                application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
  74            
  75                However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
  76                API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
  77                processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
  78                and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
  79 kumpf 1.68     The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
  80                XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
  81                will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
  82                specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
  83                specified in the method definition.
  84            
  85                CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
  86            
  87                Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
  88                returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
  89                attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
  90                sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
  91                String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
  92                correct type rather than as a String.
  93            
  94                Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
  95                PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
  96                CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
  97                String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
  98                PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
  99                values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 100 kumpf 1.68     because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 101            
 102                This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 103                Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 104                implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 105            
 106                SIDE EFFECTS:
 107            
 108                In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 109                that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 110                CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 111                parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 112                added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 113            
 114                I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 115                clean-up, which I completed.
 116            
 117                SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 118            
 119                A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 120                "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 121 kumpf 1.68     (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 122                relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 123                the specified value to that property's type.
 124            
 125                The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 126                inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 127                extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 128                ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 129            
 130                The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 131                information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 132                always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 133                against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 134                to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 135                a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 136            
 137            
 138 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 139 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 140            
 141            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 142                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 143                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 144                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 145 karl  1.53        
 146            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 147            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 148            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 149            	which is the current file based repository.
 150            	
 151            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 152            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 153            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 154            	in the future.
 155 karl  1.52 
 156 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 157               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 158               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 159               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 160               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 161               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 162            
 163 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 164 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 165               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 166               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 167               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 168               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 169            
 170 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 171 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 172               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 173               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 174               program.
 175            
 176 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 177                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 178                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 179                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 180                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 181                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 182                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 183                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 184                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 185            
 186                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 187                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 188                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 189            
 190                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 191                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 192                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 193                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 194            
 195                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 196                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 197 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 198                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 199            
 200                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 201                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 202            
 203                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 206 karl  1.1  
 207 mike  1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 208            		current working dev branch of build
 209 mike  1.36 
 210 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 211            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 212            
 213 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 214               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 215            
 216            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 217 mike  1.51 =======
 218            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 219            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 220            	
 221            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 222            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 223            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 224            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 225            	should not affect any current work.
 226            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 227            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 228            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 229            	
 230            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 231                    on XML output.
 232                    
 233            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 234            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 235            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 236            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 237            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 238 mike  1.51 
 239            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 240            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 241            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 242            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 243            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 244            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 245            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 246            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 247                    
 248            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 249            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 250            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 251            generating debug output.
 252            
 253            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 254            xml when it generates xml output.
 255            
 256            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 257            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 258            repository implementation.
 259 mike  1.51 
 260            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 261            
 262            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 263            
 264            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 265            
 266            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 267            
 268            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.
 269            
 270            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 271                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 272            
 273            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 274            
 275            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.
 276            
 277            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 278            
 279            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 280 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 281                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 282            
 283            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 284                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 285                input and output can be written in a trace file.
 286            
 287            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 288                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 289                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 290            
 291            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 292                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 293                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 294                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 295                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 296                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 297                are modified to implement above messages. 
 298            
 299                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 300                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 301 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 302                indication to consumer. This program needs
 303                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 304                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 305                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 306                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 307                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 308                below:
 309            
 310                //====================================================================
 311                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 312                //====================================================================
 313                [Description (
 314                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 315                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 316                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 317            
 318            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 319                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 320                a provider library.
 321            
 322 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 323                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 324                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 325                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 326                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 327                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 328                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 329                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 330                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 331                later). 
 332            
 333                Also added are two test programs: 
 334            	
 335                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 336                    CIMParamValue class.
 337            	
 338                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 339                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 340                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 341                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 342                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 343 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 344            
 345            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 346                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 347                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 348                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 349                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 350                and to verify the authentication.
 351            
 352                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 353                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 354                yet linked into the build.
 355            
 356            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 357                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 358                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 359                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 360                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 361                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 362                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 363            
 364 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 365                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 366                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 367                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 368                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 369                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 370                provider file path name.
 371            
 372            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 373                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 374                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 375                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 376                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 377                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 378                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 379                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 380            
 381            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 382                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 383                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 384                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 385 mike  1.51 
 386            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 387                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 388                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 389                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 390            
 391            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 392                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 393                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 394                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 395                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 396                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 397                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 398                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 399                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 400            
 401            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 402                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 403                
 404            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 405            
 406 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 407                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 408                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 409                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 410                in make files.
 411               
 412            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 413                because getting an error in 26
 414            
 415            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 416                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 417                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 418                tag structure.
 419            
 420                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 421                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 422                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 423            
 424                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 425                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 426                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 427 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 428                of String type and a key of reference type.
 429            
 430                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 431                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 432                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 433                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 434                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 435                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 436                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 437                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 438            
 439                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 440                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 441                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 442                reference type.
 443            
 444                In this example:
 445            
 446                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 447            
 448 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 449                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 450                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 451                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 452                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 453            
 454                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 455                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 456                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 457                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 458                correctly.
 459            
 460                The files that have been modified to make this change are
 461                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 462            
 463                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 464                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 465                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 466                CIMOM version.
 467            
 468                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 469 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 470                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 471                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 472                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 473                definition to determine the key property types.
 474            
 475            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 476                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 477                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 478                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 479            
 480            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 481                (instanceName).
 482            
 483            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 484                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 485                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 486                relevant intrinsic methods.
 487            
 488            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 489                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 490 mike  1.51 
 491            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 492                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 493                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 494                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 495                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 496                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 497                nsk platform links. 
 498            
 499            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 500                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 501                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 502                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 503                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 504                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 505                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 506            
 507                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 508                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 509                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 510                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 511 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 512                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 513                in that same form, without special character encoding.
 514            
 515            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 516                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 517                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 518                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 519            
 520            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 521                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 522                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 523                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 524                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 525            
 526            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 527                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 528                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 529                be updated to use this class.
 530            
 531            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 532 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 533                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 534                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 535                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 536            
 537            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 538                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 539                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 540                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 541                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 542                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 543            
 544            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 545            
 546                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 547                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 548                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 549                      CIMNamedInstance
 550                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 551                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 552                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 553 mike  1.51 
 554                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 555            
 556                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 557                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 558                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 559                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 560                functionality.
 561            
 562                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 563            
 564                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 565                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 566                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 567                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 568                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 569                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 570                      the entire instance.
 571            
 572                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 573                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 574 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 575            
 576                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 577                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 578                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 579            
 580                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 581                ModifyInstance correctly.
 582            
 583            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 584                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 585                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 586                the DMTF specification.
 587            
 588                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 589                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 590                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 591                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 592            
 593                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 594            
 595 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 596                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 597                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 598                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 599                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 600                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 601                      the entire instance.
 602            
 603                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 604                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 605                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 606                      be used to update the instance.
 607            
 608                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 609                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 610                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 611            
 612                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 613                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 614                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 615            
 616 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 617                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 618                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 619                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 620                without the standard (std) namespace.
 621            
 622            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 623                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 624                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 625            
 626                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 627                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 628                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 629                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 630                following command before starting cimserver:
 631            
 632                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 633            
 634                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 635                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 636                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 637 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 638                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 639                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 640                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 641            
 642            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 643                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 644                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 645            
 646            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 647                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 648                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 649                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 650                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 651            
 652                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 653                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 654                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 655                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 656                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 657                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 658 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 659            
 660            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 661                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 662            
 663                Authentication and User Management:
 664                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 665                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 666                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 667                generated password file. 
 668            
 669                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 670                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 671                
 672                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 673                management and authorization functionality.   
 674            
 675            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 676                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 677            
 678            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 679 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 680                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 681            
 682            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 683                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 684                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 685              
 686            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 687                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 688                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 689                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 690                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 691                or change in provider registration.  
 692            
 693            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 694                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 695                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 696                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 697            
 698            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 699                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 700 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 701                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 702                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 703                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 704                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 705                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 706                How to use it in a Server or Client:
 707                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 708                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 709                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 710                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 711 mike  1.50 
 712 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 713                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 714            
 715            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.
 716 kumpf 1.61

 721            
 722            1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 723               indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 724               and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 725            
 726               Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to

 728            
 729               Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 730               SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 731            
 732            2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 733               library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 734               are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 735               and SimpleThread.
 736            
 737            3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer

 759 mike  1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 760               (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 761               functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 762            
 763            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 764               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 765               that
 766               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 767               password.
 768               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 769               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 770               build.
 771               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 772               modified to integrate with the framework.

 825 karl  1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
 826 karl  1.16 
 827            1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
 828            for NT and Linux platforms.
 829 mike  1.26 
 830 karl  1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
 831            5988.
 832            NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
 833            the DMTF.
 834 mike  1.26 
 835 karl  1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
 836            Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
 837            CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
 838            Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
 839 mike  1.26 
 840 bob   1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
 841            and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
 842            revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
 843 mike  1.26 
 844 bob   1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
 845            Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
 846            Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
 847            files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
 848            prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
 849            code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
 850 bob   1.20 (grb)
 851 mike  1.26 
 852 bob   1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
 853            This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
 854            to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
 855 mike  1.26 
 856 karl  1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
 857 mike  1.26 
 858 karl  1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
 859            modifyClass,
 860 chip  1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
 861 mike  1.26 
 862 karl  1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
 863            directory. These
 864            interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
 865            CIMProviderStub has
 866 chip  1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
 867 mike  1.26 
 868 sage  1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
 869 mike  1.26 
 870 karl  1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
 871            repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
 872 mike  1.26 
 873            12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
 874 mike  1.27     (MEB)
 875            
 876            13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
 877                Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
 878                Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
 879                Need to handle deleteInstance().
 880                (MEB)
 881 mike  1.26 
 882 mday  1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
 883            
 884 karl  1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
 885            AssociationName
 886 karl  1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
 887            pages.
 888            
 889 karl  1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
 890 sage  1.31 
 891            17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
 892            ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
 893            Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
 894            variables.
 895 mike  1.32 
 896            18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
 897                References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
 898                on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
 899 kumpf 1.34 
 900            19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
 901                changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
 902                buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
 903                change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
 904                lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
 905                and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
 906                these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
 907 karl  1.35 
 908            20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
 909                tests for stack and queue.

 917            CIMServer (both)
 918 karl  1.11 Functions added include:
 919            	a. Enable trace to log file.
 920 karl  1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l

 922 karl  1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
 923            	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
 924 karl  1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
 925            	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
 926 karl  1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
 927            	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

 943            not
 944 karl  1.14 print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
 945            and components of the message causing the problem.
 946 mike  1.33

 973 karl  1.5  
 974 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
 975            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
 976            
 977 karl  1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
 978            of dynamic lib loaading.

 985 karl  1.1  
 986            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
 987            qualifiers, methods.
 988            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
 989            methods.
 990            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
 991            qualifiers and to
 992            remove qualifiers.
 993            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
 994            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
 995 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
 996            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
 997            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
 998            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
 999            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
