   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 karl  1.74     
 170            18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 171                definition of CIMFlavors.
 172 karl  1.76     
 173 kumpf 1.68 
 174 kumpf 1.75 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 175                eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 176                nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 177                each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 178                are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 179                level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 180                "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 181            
 182                The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 183                payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 184                HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 185                constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 186                remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 187                changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 188                would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 189                a single buffer.
 190            
 191                Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 192                formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 193                error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 194                various encoders and decoders, etc.
 195 kumpf 1.75 
 196            20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 197                CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 198                that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 199                with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 200            
 201                Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 202                CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 203                validated.
 204 karl  1.76 
 205            21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 206                qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 207                Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 208            
 209 kumpf 1.75 
 210 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 211 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 212            
 213            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 214                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 215                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 216                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 217 karl  1.53        
 218            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 219            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 220            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 221            	which is the current file based repository.
 222            	
 223            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 224            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 225            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 226            	in the future.
 227 karl  1.52 
 228 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 229               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 230               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 231               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 232               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 233               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 234            
 235 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 236 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 237               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 238               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 239               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 240               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 241            
 242 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 243 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 244               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 245               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 246               program.
 247            
 248 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 249                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 250                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 251                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 252                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 253                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 254                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 255                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 256                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 257            
 258                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 259                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 260                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 261            
 262                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 263                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 264                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 265                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 266            
 267                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 268                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 269 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 270                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 271            
 272                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 273                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 274            
 275                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 283            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 284            
 285 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 286               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 287            
 288            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 289 mike  1.51 =======
 290            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 291            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 292            	
 293            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 294            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 295            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 296            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 297            	should not affect any current work.
 298            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 299            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 300            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 301            	
 302            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 303                    on XML output.
 304                    
 305            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 306            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 307            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 308            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 309            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 310 mike  1.51 
 311            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 312            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 313            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 314            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 315            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 316            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 317            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 318            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 319                    
 320            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 321            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 322            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 323            generating debug output.
 324            
 325            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 326            xml when it generates xml output.
 327            
 328            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 329            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 330            repository implementation.
 331 mike  1.51 
 332            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 333            
 334            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 335            
 336            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 337            
 338            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 339            
 340            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.
 341            
 342            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 343                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 344            
 345            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 346            
 347            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.
 348            
 349            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 350            
 351            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 352 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 353                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 354            
 355            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 356                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 357                input and output can be written in a trace file.
 358            
 359            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 360                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 361                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 362            
 363            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 364                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 365                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 366                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 367                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 368                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 369                are modified to implement above messages. 
 370            
 371                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 372                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 373 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 374                indication to consumer. This program needs
 375                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 376                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 377                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 378                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 379                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 380                below:
 381            
 382                //====================================================================
 383                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 384                //====================================================================
 385                [Description (
 386                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 387                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 388                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 389            
 390            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 391                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 392                a provider library.
 393            
 394 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 395                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 396                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 397                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 398                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 399                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 400                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 401                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 402                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 403                later). 
 404            
 405                Also added are two test programs: 
 406            	
 407                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 408                    CIMParamValue class.
 409            	
 410                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 411                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 412                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 413                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 414                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 415 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 416            
 417            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 418                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 419                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 420                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 421                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 422                and to verify the authentication.
 423            
 424                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 425                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 426                yet linked into the build.
 427            
 428            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 429                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 430                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 431                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 432                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 433                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 434                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 435            
 436 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 437                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 438                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 439                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 440                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 441                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 442                provider file path name.
 443            
 444            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 445                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 446                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 447                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 448                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 449                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 450                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 451                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 452            
 453            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 454                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 455                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 456                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 457 mike  1.51 
 458            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 459                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 460                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 461                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 462            
 463            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 464                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 465                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 466                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 467                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 468                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 469                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 470                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 471                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 472            
 473            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 474                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 475                
 476            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 477            
 478 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 479                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 480                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 481                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 482                in make files.
 483               
 484            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 485                because getting an error in 26
 486            
 487            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 488                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 489                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 490                tag structure.
 491            
 492                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 493                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 494                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 495            
 496                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 497                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 498                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 499 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 500                of String type and a key of reference type.
 501            
 502                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 503                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 504                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 505                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 506                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 507                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 508                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 509                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 510            
 511                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 512                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 513                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 514                reference type.
 515            
 516                In this example:
 517            
 518                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 519            
 520 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 521                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 522                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 523                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 524                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 525            
 526                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 527                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 528                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 529                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 530                correctly.
 531            
 532                The files that have been modified to make this change are
 533                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 534            
 535                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 536                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 537                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 538                CIMOM version.
 539            
 540                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 541 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 542                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 543                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 544                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 545                definition to determine the key property types.
 546            
 547            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 548                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 549                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 550                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 551            
 552            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 553                (instanceName).
 554            
 555            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 556                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 557                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 558                relevant intrinsic methods.
 559            
 560            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 561                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 562 mike  1.51 
 563            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 564                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 565                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 566                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 567                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 568                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 569                nsk platform links. 
 570            
 571            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 572                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 573                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 574                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 575                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 576                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 577                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 578            
 579                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 580                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 581                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 582                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 583 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 584                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 585                in that same form, without special character encoding.
 586            
 587            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 588                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 589                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 590                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 591            
 592            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 593                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 594                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 595                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 596                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 597            
 598            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 599                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 600                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 601                be updated to use this class.
 602            
 603            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 604 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 605                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 606                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 607                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 608            
 609            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 610                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 611                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 612                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 613                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 614                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 615            
 616            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 617            
 618                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 619                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 620                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 621                      CIMNamedInstance
 622                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 623                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 624                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 625 mike  1.51 
 626                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 627            
 628                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 629                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 630                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 631                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 632                functionality.
 633            
 634                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 635            
 636                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 637                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 638                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 639                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 640                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 641                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 642                      the entire instance.
 643            
 644                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 645                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 646 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 647            
 648                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 649                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 650                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 651            
 652                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 653                ModifyInstance correctly.
 654            
 655            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 656                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 657                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 658                the DMTF specification.
 659            
 660                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 661                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 662                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 663                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 664            
 665                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 666            
 667 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 668                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 669                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 670                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 671                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 672                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 673                      the entire instance.
 674            
 675                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 676                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 677                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 678                      be used to update the instance.
 679            
 680                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 681                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 682                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 683            
 684                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 685                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 686                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 687            
 688 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 689                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 690                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 691                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 692                without the standard (std) namespace.
 693            
 694            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 695                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 696                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 697            
 698                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 699                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 700                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 701                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 702                following command before starting cimserver:
 703            
 704                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 705            
 706                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 707                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 708                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 709 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 710                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 711                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 712                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 713            
 714            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 715                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 716                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 717            
 718            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 719                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 720                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 721                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 722                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 723            
 724                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 725                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 726                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 727                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 728                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 729                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 730 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 731            
 732            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 733                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 734            
 735                Authentication and User Management:
 736                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 737                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 738                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 739                generated password file. 
 740            
 741                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 742                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 743                
 744                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 745                management and authorization functionality.   
 746            
 747            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 748                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 749            
 750            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 751 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 752                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 753            
 754            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 755                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 756                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 757              
 758            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 759                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 760                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 761                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 762                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 763                or change in provider registration.  
 764            
 765            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 766                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 767                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 768                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 769            
 770            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 771                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 772 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 773                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 774                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 775                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 776                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 777                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 778                How to use it in a Server or Client:
 779                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 780                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 781                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 782                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 783 mike  1.50 
 784 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 785                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 786            
 787            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 831 mike  1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 832               (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 833               functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 834            
 835            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 836               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 837               that
 838               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 839               password.
 840               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 841               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 842               build.
 843               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 844               modified to integrate with the framework.

 897 karl  1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
 898 karl  1.16 
 899            1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
 900            for NT and Linux platforms.
 901 mike  1.26 
 902 karl  1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
 903            5988.
 904            NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
 905            the DMTF.
 906 mike  1.26 
 907 karl  1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
 908            Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
 909            CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
 910            Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
 911 mike  1.26 
 912 bob   1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
 913            and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
 914            revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
 915 mike  1.26 
 916 bob   1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
 917            Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
 918            Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
 919            files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
 920            prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
 921            code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
 922 bob   1.20 (grb)
 923 mike  1.26 
 924 bob   1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
 925            This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
 926            to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
 927 mike  1.26 
 928 karl  1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
 929 mike  1.26 
 930 karl  1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
 931            modifyClass,
 932 chip  1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
 933 mike  1.26 
 934 karl  1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
 935            directory. These
 936            interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
 937            CIMProviderStub has
 938 chip  1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
 939 mike  1.26 
 940 sage  1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
 941 mike  1.26 
 942 karl  1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
 943            repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
 944 mike  1.26 
 945            12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
 946 mike  1.27     (MEB)
 947            
 948            13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
 949                Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
 950                Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
 951                Need to handle deleteInstance().
 952                (MEB)
 953 mike  1.26 
 954 mday  1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
 955            
 956 karl  1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
 957            AssociationName
 958 karl  1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
 959            pages.
 960            
 961 karl  1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
 962 sage  1.31 
 963            17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
 964            ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
 965            Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
 966            variables.
 967 mike  1.32 
 968            18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
 969                References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
 970                on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
 971 kumpf 1.34 
 972            19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
 973                changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
 974                buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
 975                change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
 976                lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
 977                and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
 978                these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
 979 karl  1.35 
 980            20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
 981                tests for stack and queue.

1046 karl  1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1047            find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1048

1057 karl  1.1  
1058            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1059            qualifiers, methods.
1060            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,

1064            remove qualifiers.
1065            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1066            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1067 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1068            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1069            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1070            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1071            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
