   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 karl  1.72   
 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 karl  1.72     
 160            16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 161                all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 162               
 163 kumpf 1.68 
 164 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 165 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 166            
 167            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 168                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 169                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 170                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 171 karl  1.53        
 172            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 173            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 174            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 175            	which is the current file based repository.
 176            	
 177            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 178            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 179            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 180            	in the future.
 181 karl  1.52 
 182 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 183               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 184               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 185               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 186               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 187               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 188            
 189 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 190 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 191               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 192               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 193               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 194               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 195            
 196 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 197 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 198               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 199               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 200               program.
 201            
 202 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 203                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 204                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 205                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 206                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 207                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 208                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 209                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 210                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 211            
 212                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 213                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 214                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 215            
 216                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 217                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 218                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 219                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 220            
 221                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 222                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 223 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 224                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 225            
 226                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 227                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 228            
 229                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

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

 747            
 748            1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 749               indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 750               and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 751            
 752               Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 753               make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 754            
 755               Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 756               SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 757            
 758            2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 759               library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 760               are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 761               and SimpleThread.
 762            
 763            3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer

 784            
 785 mike  1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 786               (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 787               functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.

 789            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 790               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 791               that
 792               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 793               password.
 794               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 795               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 796               build.
 797               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 798               modified to integrate with the framework.

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

 943            CIMServer (both)
 944 karl  1.11 Functions added include:
 945            	a. Enable trace to log file.
 946 karl  1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l

 999 karl  1.5  
1000 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1001            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1002            
1003 karl  1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1004            of dynamic lib loaading.
1005 karl  1.1

1011 karl  1.1  
1012            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1013            qualifiers, methods.
1014            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1015            methods.
1016            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1017            qualifiers and to
1018            remove qualifiers.
1019            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1020            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1021 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1022            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1023            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1024            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1025            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
