   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 1.73 17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 164                to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 165                indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 166                operations.
 167            
 168                Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 169 kumpf 1.68 
 170 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 171 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 172            
 173            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 174                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 175                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 176                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 177 karl  1.53        
 178            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 179            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 180            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 181            	which is the current file based repository.
 182            	
 183            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 184            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 185            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 186            	in the future.
 187 karl  1.52 
 188 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 189               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 190               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 191               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 192               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 193               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 194            
 195 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 196 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 197               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 198               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 199               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 200               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 201            
 202 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 203 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 204               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 205               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 206               program.
 207            
 208 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 209                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 210                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 211                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 212                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 213                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 214                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 215                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 216                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 217            
 218                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 219                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 220                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 221            
 222                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 223                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 224                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 225                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 226            
 227                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 228                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 229 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 230                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 231            
 232                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 233                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 234            
 235                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

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

 753            
 754            1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 755               indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 756               and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 757            
 758               Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 759               make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 760            
 761               Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 762               SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 763            
 764            2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 765               library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 766               are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 767               and SimpleThread.
 768            
 769            3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer

 791 mike  1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 792               (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 793               functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 794            
 795            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 796               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 797               that
 798               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 799               password.
 800               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 801               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 802               build.
 803               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 804               modified to integrate with the framework.

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

1005 karl  1.5  
1006 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1007            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1008            
1009 karl  1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1010            of dynamic lib loaading.

1017 karl  1.1  
1018            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1019            qualifiers, methods.
1020            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1021            methods.
1022            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1023            qualifiers and to
1024            remove qualifiers.
1025            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1026            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1027 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1028            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1029            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1030            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1031            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
