   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 1.77 22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 210                Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 211            
 212                    Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 213                    HTTPConnector* connector;
 214                    connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 215                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 216            
 217                    CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 218            
 219                With this change, the client application now looks like:
 220            
 221                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 222            
 223                    CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 224            
 225                The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 226                constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 227                connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 228                context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 229                connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 230 kumpf 1.77     without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 231                class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 232                rather than in the constructor.
 233            
 234                NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 235                change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 236                included in the Pegasus build.
 237 kumpf 1.75 
 238 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 239 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 240            
 241            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 242                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 243                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 244                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 245 karl  1.53        
 246            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 247            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 248            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 249            	which is the current file based repository.
 250            	
 251            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 252            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 253            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 254            	in the future.
 255 karl  1.52 
 256 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 257               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 258               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 259               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 260               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 261               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 262            
 263 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 264 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 265               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 266               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 267               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 268               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 269            
 270 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 271 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 272               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 273               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 274               program.
 275            
 276 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 277                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 278                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 279                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 280                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 281                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 282                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 283                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 284                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 285            
 286                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 287                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 288                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 289            
 290                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 291                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 292                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 293                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 294            
 295                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 296                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 297 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 298                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 299            
 300                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 301                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 302            
 303                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 310 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 311            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 312            
 313 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 314               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 315            
 316            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 317 mike  1.51 =======
 318            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 319            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 320            	
 321            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 322            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 323            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 324            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 325            	should not affect any current work.
 326            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 327            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 328            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 329            	
 330            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 331                    on XML output.
 332                    
 333            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 334            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 335            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 336            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 337            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 338 mike  1.51 
 339            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 340            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 341            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 342            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 343            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 344            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 345            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 346            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 347                    
 348            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 349            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 350            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 351            generating debug output.
 352            
 353            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 354            xml when it generates xml output.
 355            
 356            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 357            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 358            repository implementation.
 359 mike  1.51 
 360            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 361            
 362            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 363            
 364            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 365            
 366            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 367            
 368            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.
 369            
 370            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 371                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 372            
 373            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 374            
 375            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.
 376            
 377            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 378            
 379            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 380 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 381                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 382            
 383            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 384                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 385                input and output can be written in a trace file.
 386            
 387            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 388                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 389                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 390            
 391            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 392                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 393                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 394                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 395                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 396                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 397                are modified to implement above messages. 
 398            
 399                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 400                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 401 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 402                indication to consumer. This program needs
 403                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 404                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 405                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 406                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 407                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 408                below:
 409            
 410                //====================================================================
 411                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 412                //====================================================================
 413                [Description (
 414                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 415                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 416                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 417            
 418            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 419                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 420                a provider library.
 421            
 422 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 423                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 424                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 425                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 426                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 427                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 428                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 429                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 430                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 431                later). 
 432            
 433                Also added are two test programs: 
 434            	
 435                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 436                    CIMParamValue class.
 437            	
 438                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 439                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 440                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 441                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 442                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 443 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 444            
 445            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 446                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 447                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 448                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 449                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 450                and to verify the authentication.
 451            
 452                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 453                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 454                yet linked into the build.
 455            
 456            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 457                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 458                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 459                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 460                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 461                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 462                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 463            
 464 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 465                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 466                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 467                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 468                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 469                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 470                provider file path name.
 471            
 472            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 473                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 474                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 475                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 476                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 477                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 478                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 479                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 480            
 481            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 482                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 483                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 484                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 485 mike  1.51 
 486            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 487                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 488                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 489                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 490            
 491            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 492                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 493                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 494                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 495                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 496                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 497                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 498                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 499                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 500            
 501            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 502                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 503                
 504            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 505            
 506 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 507                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 508                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 509                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 510                in make files.
 511               
 512            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 513                because getting an error in 26
 514            
 515            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 516                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 517                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 518                tag structure.
 519            
 520                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 521                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 522                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 523            
 524                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 525                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 526                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 527 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 528                of String type and a key of reference type.
 529            
 530                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 531                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 532                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 533                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 534                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 535                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 536                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 537                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 538            
 539                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 540                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 541                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 542                reference type.
 543            
 544                In this example:
 545            
 546                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 547            
 548 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 549                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 550                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 551                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 552                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 553            
 554                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 555                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 556                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 557                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 558                correctly.
 559            
 560                The files that have been modified to make this change are
 561                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 562            
 563                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 564                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 565                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 566                CIMOM version.
 567            
 568                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 569 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 570                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 571                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 572                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 573                definition to determine the key property types.
 574            
 575            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 576                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 577                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 578                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 579            
 580            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 581                (instanceName).
 582            
 583            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 584                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 585                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 586                relevant intrinsic methods.
 587            
 588            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 589                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 590 mike  1.51 
 591            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 592                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 593                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 594                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 595                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 596                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 597                nsk platform links. 
 598            
 599            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 600                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 601                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 602                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 603                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 604                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 605                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 606            
 607                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 608                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 609                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 610                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 611 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 612                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 613                in that same form, without special character encoding.
 614            
 615            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 616                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 617                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 618                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 619            
 620            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 621                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 622                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 623                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 624                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 625            
 626            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 627                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 628                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 629                be updated to use this class.
 630            
 631            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 632 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 633                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 634                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 635                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 636            
 637            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 638                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 639                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 640                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 641                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 642                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 643            
 644            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 645            
 646                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 647                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 648                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 649                      CIMNamedInstance
 650                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 651                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 652                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 653 mike  1.51 
 654                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 655            
 656                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 657                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 658                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 659                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 660                functionality.
 661            
 662                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 663            
 664                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 665                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 666                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 667                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 668                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 669                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 670                      the entire instance.
 671            
 672                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 673                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 674 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 675            
 676                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 677                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 678                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 679            
 680                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 681                ModifyInstance correctly.
 682            
 683            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 684                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 685                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 686                the DMTF specification.
 687            
 688                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 689                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 690                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 691                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 692            
 693                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 694            
 695 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 696                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 697                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 698                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 699                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 700                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 701                      the entire instance.
 702            
 703                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 704                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 705                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 706                      be used to update the instance.
 707            
 708                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 709                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 710                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 711            
 712                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 713                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 714                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 715            
 716 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 717                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 718                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 719                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 720                without the standard (std) namespace.
 721            
 722            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 723                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 724                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 725            
 726                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 727                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 728                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 729                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 730                following command before starting cimserver:
 731            
 732                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 733            
 734                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 735                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 736                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 737 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 738                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 739                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 740                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 741            
 742            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 743                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 744                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 745            
 746            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 747                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 748                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 749                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 750                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 751            
 752                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 753                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 754                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 755                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 756                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 757                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 758 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 759            
 760            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 761                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 762            
 763                Authentication and User Management:
 764                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 765                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 766                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 767                generated password file. 
 768            
 769                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 770                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 771                
 772                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 773                management and authorization functionality.   
 774            
 775            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 776                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 777            
 778            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 779 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 780                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 781            
 782            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 783                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 784                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 785              
 786            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 787                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 788                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 789                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 790                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 791                or change in provider registration.  
 792            
 793            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 794                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 795                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 796                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 797            
 798            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 799                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 800 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 801                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 802                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 803                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 804                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 805                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 806                How to use it in a Server or Client:
 807                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 808                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 809                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 810                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 811 mike  1.50 
 812 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 813                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 814            
 815            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 925 karl  1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
 926 karl  1.16 
 927            1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
 928            for NT and Linux platforms.
 929 mike  1.26 
 930 karl  1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
 931            5988.
 932            NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
 933            the DMTF.
 934 mike  1.26 
 935 karl  1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
 936            Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
 937            CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
 938            Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
 939 mike  1.26 
 940 bob   1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
 941            and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
 942            revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
 943 mike  1.26 
 944 bob   1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
 945            Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
 946            Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
 947            files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
 948            prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
 949            code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
 950 bob   1.20 (grb)
 951 mike  1.26 
 952 bob   1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
 953            This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
 954            to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
 955 mike  1.26 
 956 karl  1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
 957 mike  1.26 
 958 karl  1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
 959            modifyClass,
 960 chip  1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
 961 mike  1.26 
 962 karl  1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
 963            directory. These
 964            interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
 965            CIMProviderStub has
 966 chip  1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
 967 mike  1.26 
 968 sage  1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
 969 mike  1.26 
 970 karl  1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
 971            repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
 972 mike  1.26 
 973            12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
 974 mike  1.27     (MEB)
 975            
 976            13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
 977                Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
 978                Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
 979                Need to handle deleteInstance().
 980                (MEB)
 981 mike  1.26 
 982 mday  1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
 983            
 984 karl  1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
 985            AssociationName
 986 karl  1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
 987            pages.
 988            
 989 karl  1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
 990 sage  1.31 
 991            17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
 992            ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
 993            Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
 994            variables.
 995 mike  1.32 
 996            18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
 997                References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
 998                on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
 999 kumpf 1.34 
1000            19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1001                changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1002                buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1003                change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1004                lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1005                and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1006                these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1007 karl  1.35 
1008            20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1009                tests for stack and queue.

1094            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1095 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1096            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1097            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1098            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1099            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
