   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 karl  1.70     
 151            14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 152                Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 153                
 154 kumpf 1.68 
 155 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 156 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 157            
 158            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 159                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 160                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 161                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 162 karl  1.53        
 163            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 164            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 165            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 166            	which is the current file based repository.
 167            	
 168            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 169            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 170            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 171            	in the future.
 172 karl  1.52 
 173 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 174               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 175               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 176               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 177               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 178               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 179            
 180 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 181 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 182               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 183               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 184               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 185               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 186            
 187 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 188 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 189               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 190               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 191               program.
 192            
 193 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 194                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 195                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 196                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 197                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 198                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 199                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 200                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 201                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 202            
 203                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 204                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 205                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 206            
 207                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 208                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 209                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 210                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 211            
 212                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 213                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 214 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 215                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 216            
 217                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 218                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 219            
 220                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 224 mike  1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 225            		current working dev branch of build
 226 mike  1.36 
 227 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 228            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 229            
 230 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 231               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 232            
 233            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 234 mike  1.51 =======
 235            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 236            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 237            	
 238            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 239            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 240            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 241            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 242            	should not affect any current work.
 243            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 244            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 245            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 246            	
 247            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 248                    on XML output.
 249                    
 250            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 251            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 252            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 253            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 254            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 255 mike  1.51 
 256            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 257            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 258            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 259            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 260            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 261            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 262            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 263            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 264                    
 265            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 266            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 267            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 268            generating debug output.
 269            
 270            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 271            xml when it generates xml output.
 272            
 273            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 274            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 275            repository implementation.
 276 mike  1.51 
 277            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 278            
 279            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 280            
 281            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 282            
 283            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 284            
 285            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.
 286            
 287            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 288                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 289            
 290            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 291            
 292            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.
 293            
 294            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 295            
 296            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 297 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 298                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 299            
 300            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 301                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 302                input and output can be written in a trace file.
 303            
 304            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 305                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 306                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 307            
 308            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 309                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 310                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 311                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 312                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 313                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 314                are modified to implement above messages. 
 315            
 316                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 317                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 318 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 319                indication to consumer. This program needs
 320                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 321                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 322                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 323                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 324                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 325                below:
 326            
 327                //====================================================================
 328                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 329                //====================================================================
 330                [Description (
 331                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 332                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 333                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 334            
 335            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 336                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 337                a provider library.
 338            
 339 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 340                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 341                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 342                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 343                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 344                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 345                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 346                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 347                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 348                later). 
 349            
 350                Also added are two test programs: 
 351            	
 352                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 353                    CIMParamValue class.
 354            	
 355                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 356                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 357                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 358                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 359                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 360 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 361            
 362            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 363                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 364                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 365                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 366                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 367                and to verify the authentication.
 368            
 369                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 370                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 371                yet linked into the build.
 372            
 373            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 374                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 375                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 376                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 377                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 378                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 379                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 380            
 381 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 382                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 383                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 384                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 385                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 386                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 387                provider file path name.
 388            
 389            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 390                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 391                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 392                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 393                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 394                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 395                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 396                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 397            
 398            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 399                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 400                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 401                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 402 mike  1.51 
 403            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 404                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 405                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 406                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 407            
 408            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 409                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 410                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 411                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 412                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 413                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 414                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 415                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 416                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 417            
 418            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 419                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 420                
 421            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 422            
 423 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 424                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 425                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 426                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 427                in make files.
 428               
 429            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 430                because getting an error in 26
 431            
 432            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 433                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 434                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 435                tag structure.
 436            
 437                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 438                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 439                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 440            
 441                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 442                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 443                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 444 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 445                of String type and a key of reference type.
 446            
 447                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 448                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 449                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 450                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 451                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 452                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 453                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 454                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 455            
 456                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 457                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 458                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 459                reference type.
 460            
 461                In this example:
 462            
 463                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 464            
 465 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 466                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 467                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 468                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 469                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 470            
 471                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 472                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 473                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 474                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 475                correctly.
 476            
 477                The files that have been modified to make this change are
 478                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 479            
 480                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 481                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 482                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 483                CIMOM version.
 484            
 485                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 486 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 487                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 488                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 489                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 490                definition to determine the key property types.
 491            
 492            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 493                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 494                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 495                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 496            
 497            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 498                (instanceName).
 499            
 500            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 501                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 502                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 503                relevant intrinsic methods.
 504            
 505            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 506                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 507 mike  1.51 
 508            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 509                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 510                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 511                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 512                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 513                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 514                nsk platform links. 
 515            
 516            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 517                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 518                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 519                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 520                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 521                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 522                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 523            
 524                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 525                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 526                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 527                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 528 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 529                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 530                in that same form, without special character encoding.
 531            
 532            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 533                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 534                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 535                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 536            
 537            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 538                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 539                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 540                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 541                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 542            
 543            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 544                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 545                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 546                be updated to use this class.
 547            
 548            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 549 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 550                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 551                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 552                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 553            
 554            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 555                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 556                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 557                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 558                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 559                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 560            
 561            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 562            
 563                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 564                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 565                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 566                      CIMNamedInstance
 567                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 568                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 569                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 570 mike  1.51 
 571                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 572            
 573                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 574                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 575                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 576                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 577                functionality.
 578            
 579                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 580            
 581                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 582                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 583                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 584                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 585                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 586                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 587                      the entire instance.
 588            
 589                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 590                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 591 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 592            
 593                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 594                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 595                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 596            
 597                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 598                ModifyInstance correctly.
 599            
 600            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 601                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 602                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 603                the DMTF specification.
 604            
 605                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 606                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 607                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 608                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 609            
 610                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 611            
 612 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 613                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 614                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 615                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 616                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 617                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 618                      the entire instance.
 619            
 620                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 621                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 622                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 623                      be used to update the instance.
 624            
 625                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 626                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 627                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 628            
 629                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 630                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 631                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 632            
 633 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 634                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 635                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 636                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 637                without the standard (std) namespace.
 638            
 639            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 640                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 641                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 642            
 643                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 644                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 645                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 646                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 647                following command before starting cimserver:
 648            
 649                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 650            
 651                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 652                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 653                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 654 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 655                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 656                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 657                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 658            
 659            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 660                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 661                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 662            
 663            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 664                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 665                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 666                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 667                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 668            
 669                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 670                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 671                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 672                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 673                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 674                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 675 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 676            
 677            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 678                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 679            
 680                Authentication and User Management:
 681                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 682                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 683                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 684                generated password file. 
 685            
 686                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 687                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 688                
 689                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 690                management and authorization functionality.   
 691            
 692            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 693                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 694            
 695            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 696 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 697                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 698            
 699            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 700                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 701                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 702              
 703            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 704                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 705                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 706                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 707                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 708                or change in provider registration.  
 709            
 710            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 711                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 712                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 713                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 714            
 715            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 716                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 717 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 718                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 719                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 720                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 721                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 722                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 723                How to use it in a Server or Client:
 724                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 725                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 726                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 727                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 728 mike  1.50 
 729 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 730                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 731            
 732            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 738            
 739            1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 740               indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 741               and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 742            
 743               Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to

 745            
 746               Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 747               SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 748            
 749            2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 750               library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 751               are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 752               and SimpleThread.
 753

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

 990 karl  1.5  
 991 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
 992            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
 993            
 994 karl  1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area

1001 karl  1.3  21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1002 karl  1.1  
1003            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1004            qualifiers, methods.
1005            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1006            methods.
1007            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1008            qualifiers and to
1009            remove qualifiers.
1010            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1011            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1012 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1013            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1014            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1015            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1016            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
