   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 1.71 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 155                username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 156                method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 157                and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 158                the server.
 159 kumpf 1.68 
 160 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 161 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 162            
 163            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 164                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 165                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 166                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 167 karl  1.53        
 168            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 169            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 170            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 171            	which is the current file based repository.
 172            	
 173            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 174            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 175            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 176            	in the future.
 177 karl  1.52 
 178 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 179               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 180               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 181               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 182               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 183               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 184            
 185 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 186 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 187               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 188               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 189               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 190               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 191            
 192 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 193 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 194               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 195               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 196               program.
 197            
 198 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 199                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 200                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 201                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 202                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 203                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 204                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 205                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 206                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 207            
 208                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 209                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 210                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 211            
 212                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 213                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 214                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 215                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 216            
 217                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 218                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 219 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 220                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 221            
 222                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 223                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 224            
 225                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 228 karl  1.1  
 229 mike  1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 230            		current working dev branch of build
 231 mike  1.36 
 232 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 233            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 234            
 235 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 236               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 237            
 238            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 239 mike  1.51 =======
 240            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 241            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 242            	
 243            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 244            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 245            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 246            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 247            	should not affect any current work.
 248            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 249            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 250            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 251            	
 252            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 253                    on XML output.
 254                    
 255            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 256            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 257            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 258            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 259            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 260 mike  1.51 
 261            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 262            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 263            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 264            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 265            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 266            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 267            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 268            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 269                    
 270            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 271            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 272            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 273            generating debug output.
 274            
 275            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 276            xml when it generates xml output.
 277            
 278            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 279            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 280            repository implementation.
 281 mike  1.51 
 282            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 283            
 284            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 285            
 286            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 287            
 288            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 289            
 290            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.
 291            
 292            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 293                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 294            
 295            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 296            
 297            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.
 298            
 299            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 300            
 301            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 302 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 303                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 304            
 305            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 306                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 307                input and output can be written in a trace file.
 308            
 309            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 310                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 311                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 312            
 313            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 314                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 315                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 316                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 317                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 318                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 319                are modified to implement above messages. 
 320            
 321                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 322                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 323 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 324                indication to consumer. This program needs
 325                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 326                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 327                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 328                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 329                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 330                below:
 331            
 332                //====================================================================
 333                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 334                //====================================================================
 335                [Description (
 336                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 337                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 338                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 339            
 340            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 341                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 342                a provider library.
 343            
 344 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 345                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 346                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 347                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 348                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 349                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 350                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 351                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 352                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 353                later). 
 354            
 355                Also added are two test programs: 
 356            	
 357                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 358                    CIMParamValue class.
 359            	
 360                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 361                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 362                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 363                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 364                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 365 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 366            
 367            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 368                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 369                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 370                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 371                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 372                and to verify the authentication.
 373            
 374                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 375                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 376                yet linked into the build.
 377            
 378            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 379                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 380                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 381                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 382                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 383                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 384                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 385            
 386 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 387                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 388                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 389                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 390                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 391                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 392                provider file path name.
 393            
 394            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 395                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 396                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 397                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 398                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 399                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 400                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 401                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 402            
 403            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 404                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 405                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 406                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 407 mike  1.51 
 408            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 409                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 410                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 411                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 412            
 413            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 414                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 415                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 416                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 417                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 418                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 419                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 420                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 421                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 422            
 423            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 424                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 425                
 426            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 427            
 428 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 429                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 430                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 431                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 432                in make files.
 433               
 434            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 435                because getting an error in 26
 436            
 437            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 438                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 439                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 440                tag structure.
 441            
 442                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 443                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 444                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 445            
 446                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 447                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 448                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 449 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 450                of String type and a key of reference type.
 451            
 452                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 453                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 454                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 455                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 456                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 457                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 458                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 459                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 460            
 461                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 462                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 463                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 464                reference type.
 465            
 466                In this example:
 467            
 468                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 469            
 470 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 471                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 472                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 473                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 474                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 475            
 476                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 477                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 478                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 479                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 480                correctly.
 481            
 482                The files that have been modified to make this change are
 483                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 484            
 485                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 486                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 487                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 488                CIMOM version.
 489            
 490                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 491 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 492                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 493                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 494                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 495                definition to determine the key property types.
 496            
 497            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 498                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 499                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 500                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 501            
 502            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 503                (instanceName).
 504            
 505            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 506                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 507                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 508                relevant intrinsic methods.
 509            
 510            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 511                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 512 mike  1.51 
 513            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 514                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 515                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 516                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 517                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 518                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 519                nsk platform links. 
 520            
 521            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 522                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 523                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 524                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 525                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 526                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 527                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 528            
 529                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 530                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 531                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 532                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 533 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 534                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 535                in that same form, without special character encoding.
 536            
 537            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 538                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 539                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 540                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 541            
 542            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 543                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 544                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 545                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 546                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 547            
 548            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 549                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 550                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 551                be updated to use this class.
 552            
 553            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 554 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 555                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 556                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 557                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 558            
 559            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 560                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 561                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 562                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 563                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 564                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 565            
 566            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 567            
 568                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 569                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 570                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 571                      CIMNamedInstance
 572                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 573                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 574                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 575 mike  1.51 
 576                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 577            
 578                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 579                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 580                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 581                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 582                functionality.
 583            
 584                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 585            
 586                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 587                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 588                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 589                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 590                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 591                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 592                      the entire instance.
 593            
 594                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 595                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 596 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 597            
 598                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 599                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 600                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 601            
 602                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 603                ModifyInstance correctly.
 604            
 605            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 606                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 607                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 608                the DMTF specification.
 609            
 610                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 611                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 612                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 613                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 614            
 615                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 616            
 617 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 618                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 619                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 620                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 621                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 622                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 623                      the entire instance.
 624            
 625                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 626                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 627                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 628                      be used to update the instance.
 629            
 630                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 631                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 632                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 633            
 634                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 635                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 636                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 637            
 638 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 639                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 640                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 641                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 642                without the standard (std) namespace.
 643            
 644            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 645                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 646                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 647            
 648                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 649                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 650                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 651                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 652                following command before starting cimserver:
 653            
 654                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 655            
 656                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 657                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 658                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 659 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 660                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 661                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 662                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 663            
 664            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 665                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 666                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 667            
 668            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 669                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 670                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 671                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 672                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 673            
 674                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 675                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 676                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 677                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 678                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 679                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 680 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 681            
 682            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 683                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 684            
 685                Authentication and User Management:
 686                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 687                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 688                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 689                generated password file. 
 690            
 691                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 692                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 693                
 694                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 695                management and authorization functionality.   
 696            
 697            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 698                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 699            
 700            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 701 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 702                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 703            
 704            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 705                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 706                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 707              
 708            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 709                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 710                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 711                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 712                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 713                or change in provider registration.  
 714            
 715            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 716                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 717                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 718                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 719            
 720            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 721                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 722 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 723                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 724                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 725                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 726                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 727                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 728                How to use it in a Server or Client:
 729                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 730                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 731                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 732                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 733 mike  1.50 
 734 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 735                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 736            
 737            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.
 738 kumpf 1.61 
 739 mike  1.51 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 740            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch
 741                          Tagged as version_1_01 on 3 August 2001 (sorry should have been
 742                          1.1
 743            
 744            1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 745               indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 746               and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 747            
 748               Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 749               make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 750            
 751               Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 752               SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 753            
 754            2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 755               library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 756               are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 757               and SimpleThread.
 758            
 759            3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer

 780            
 781 mike  1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 782               (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 783               functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.

 785            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 786               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 787               that
 788               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 789               password.

 793               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 794               modified to integrate with the framework.

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

 995 karl  1.5  
 996 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
 997            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
 998            
 999 karl  1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1000            of dynamic lib loaading.

1007 karl  1.1  
1008            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1009            qualifiers, methods.
1010            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1011            methods.
1012            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1013            qualifiers and to
1014            remove qualifiers.
1015            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1016            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1017 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1018            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1019            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1020            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1021            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
