   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 kumpf 1.69 13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 138                Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 139                class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 140                This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 141                and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 142                The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 143                encoding of parameter values.
 144            
 145                An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 146                behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 147                method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 148                InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 149                have defaulted to String type.
 150 kumpf 1.68 
 151 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 152 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 153            
 154            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 155                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 156                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 157                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 158 karl  1.53        
 159            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 160            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 161            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 162            	which is the current file based repository.
 163            	
 164            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 165            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 166            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 167            	in the future.
 168 karl  1.52 
 169 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 170               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 171               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 172               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 173               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 174               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 175            
 176 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 177 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 178               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 179               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 180               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 181               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 182            
 183 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 184 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 185               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 186               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 187               program.
 188            
 189 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 190                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 191                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 192                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 193                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 194                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 195                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 196                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 197                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 198            
 199                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 200                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 201                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 202            
 203                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 204                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 205                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 206                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 207            
 208                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 209                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 210 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 211                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 212            
 213                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 214                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 215            
 216                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 219 karl  1.1  
 220 mike  1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 221            		current working dev branch of build
 222 mike  1.36 
 223 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 224            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 225            
 226 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 227               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 228            
 229            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 230 mike  1.51 =======
 231            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 232            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 233            	
 234            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 235            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 236            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 237            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 238            	should not affect any current work.
 239            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 240            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 241            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 242            	
 243            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 244                    on XML output.
 245                    
 246            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 247            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 248            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 249            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 250            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 251 mike  1.51 
 252            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 253            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 254            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 255            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 256            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 257            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 258            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 259            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 260                    
 261            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 262            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 263            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 264            generating debug output.
 265            
 266            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 267            xml when it generates xml output.
 268            
 269            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 270            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 271            repository implementation.
 272 mike  1.51 
 273            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 274            
 275            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 276            
 277            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 278            
 279            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 280            
 281            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.
 282            
 283            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 284                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 285            
 286            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 287            
 288            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.
 289            
 290            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 291            
 292            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 293 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 294                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 295            
 296            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 297                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 298                input and output can be written in a trace file.
 299            
 300            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 301                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 302                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 303            
 304            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 305                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 306                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 307                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 308                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 309                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 310                are modified to implement above messages. 
 311            
 312                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 313                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 314 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 315                indication to consumer. This program needs
 316                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 317                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 318                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 319                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 320                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 321                below:
 322            
 323                //====================================================================
 324                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 325                //====================================================================
 326                [Description (
 327                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 328                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 329                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 330            
 331            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 332                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 333                a provider library.
 334            
 335 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 336                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 337                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 338                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 339                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 340                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 341                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 342                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 343                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 344                later). 
 345            
 346                Also added are two test programs: 
 347            	
 348                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 349                    CIMParamValue class.
 350            	
 351                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 352                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 353                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 354                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 355                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 356 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 357            
 358            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 359                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 360                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 361                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 362                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 363                and to verify the authentication.
 364            
 365                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 366                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 367                yet linked into the build.
 368            
 369            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 370                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 371                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 372                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 373                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 374                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 375                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 376            
 377 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 378                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 379                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 380                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 381                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 382                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 383                provider file path name.
 384            
 385            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 386                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 387                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 388                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 389                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 390                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 391                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 392                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 393            
 394            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 395                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 396                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 397                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 398 mike  1.51 
 399            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 400                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 401                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 402                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 403            
 404            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 405                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 406                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 407                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 408                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 409                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 410                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 411                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 412                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 413            
 414            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 415                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 416                
 417            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 418            
 419 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 420                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 421                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 422                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 423                in make files.
 424               
 425            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 426                because getting an error in 26
 427            
 428            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 429                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 430                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 431                tag structure.
 432            
 433                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 434                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 435                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 436            
 437                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 438                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 439                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 440 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 441                of String type and a key of reference type.
 442            
 443                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 444                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 445                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 446                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 447                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 448                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 449                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 450                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 451            
 452                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 453                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 454                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 455                reference type.
 456            
 457                In this example:
 458            
 459                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 460            
 461 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 462                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 463                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 464                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 465                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 466            
 467                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 468                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 469                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 470                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 471                correctly.
 472            
 473                The files that have been modified to make this change are
 474                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 475            
 476                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 477                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 478                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 479                CIMOM version.
 480            
 481                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 482 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 483                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 484                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 485                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 486                definition to determine the key property types.
 487            
 488            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 489                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 490                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 491                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 492            
 493            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 494                (instanceName).
 495            
 496            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 497                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 498                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 499                relevant intrinsic methods.
 500            
 501            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 502                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 503 mike  1.51 
 504            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 505                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 506                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 507                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 508                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 509                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 510                nsk platform links. 
 511            
 512            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 513                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 514                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 515                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 516                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 517                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 518                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 519            
 520                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 521                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 522                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 523                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 524 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 525                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 526                in that same form, without special character encoding.
 527            
 528            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 529                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 530                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 531                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 532            
 533            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 534                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 535                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 536                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 537                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 538            
 539            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 540                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 541                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 542                be updated to use this class.
 543            
 544            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 545 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 546                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 547                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 548                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 549            
 550            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 551                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 552                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 553                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 554                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 555                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 556            
 557            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 558            
 559                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 560                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 561                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 562                      CIMNamedInstance
 563                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 564                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 565                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 566 mike  1.51 
 567                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 568            
 569                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 570                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 571                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 572                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 573                functionality.
 574            
 575                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 576            
 577                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 578                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 579                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 580                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 581                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 582                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 583                      the entire instance.
 584            
 585                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 586                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 587 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 588            
 589                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 590                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 591                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 592            
 593                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 594                ModifyInstance correctly.
 595            
 596            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 597                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 598                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 599                the DMTF specification.
 600            
 601                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 602                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 603                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 604                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 605            
 606                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 607            
 608 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 609                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 610                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 611                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 612                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 613                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 614                      the entire instance.
 615            
 616                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 617                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 618                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 619                      be used to update the instance.
 620            
 621                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 622                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 623                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 624            
 625                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 626                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 627                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 628            
 629 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 630                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 631                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 632                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 633                without the standard (std) namespace.
 634            
 635            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 636                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 637                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 638            
 639                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 640                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 641                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 642                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 643                following command before starting cimserver:
 644            
 645                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 646            
 647                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 648                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 649                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 650 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 651                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 652                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 653                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 654            
 655            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 656                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 657                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 658            
 659            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 660                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 661                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 662                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 663                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 664            
 665                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 666                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 667                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 668                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 669                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 670                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 671 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 672            
 673            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 674                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 675            
 676                Authentication and User Management:
 677                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 678                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 679                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 680                generated password file. 
 681            
 682                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 683                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 684                
 685                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 686                management and authorization functionality.   
 687            
 688            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 689                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 690            
 691            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 692 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 693                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 694            
 695            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 696                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 697                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 698              
 699            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 700                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 701                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 702                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 703                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 704                or change in provider registration.  
 705            
 706            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 707                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 708                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 709                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 710            
 711            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 712                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 713 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 714                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 715                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 716                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 717                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 718                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 719                How to use it in a Server or Client:
 720                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 721                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 722                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 723                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 724 mike  1.50 
 725 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 726                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 727            
 728            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 735            1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 736               indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 737               and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 738            
 739               Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to

 741            
 742               Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 743               SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 744            
 745            2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 746               library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 747               are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 748               and SimpleThread.
 749            
 750            3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer

 776            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 777               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 778               that
 779               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 780               password.
 781               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 782               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 783               build.
 784               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 785               modified to integrate with the framework.

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

 986 karl  1.5  
 987 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
 988            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
 989            
 990 karl  1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
 991            of dynamic lib loaading.

 997 karl  1.3  21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
 998 karl  1.1  
 999            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1000            qualifiers, methods.
1001            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1002            methods.
1003            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1004            qualifiers and to
1005            remove qualifiers.
1006            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1007            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1008 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1009            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1010            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1011            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1012            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
