   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 karl  1.78     
 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 karl  1.78     
 238                
 239            23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 240                of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 241 kumpf 1.75 
 242 karl  1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 243 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 244            
 245            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 246                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 247                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 248                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 249 karl  1.53        
 250            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 251            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 252            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 253            	which is the current file based repository.
 254            	
 255            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 256            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 257            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 258            	in the future.
 259 karl  1.52 
 260 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 261               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 262               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 263               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 264               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 265               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 266            
 267 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 268 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 269               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 270               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 271               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 272               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 273            
 274 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 275 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 276               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 277               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 278               program.
 279            
 280 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 281                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 282                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 283                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 284                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 285                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 286                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 287                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 288                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 289            
 290                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 291                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 292                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 293            
 294                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 295                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 296                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 297                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 298            
 299                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 300                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 301 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 302                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 303            
 304                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 305                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 306            
 307                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 312            		current working dev branch of build
 313 mike  1.36 
 314 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 315            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 316            
 317 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 318               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 319            
 320            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 321 mike  1.51 =======
 322            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 323            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 324            	
 325            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 326            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 327            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 328            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 329            	should not affect any current work.
 330            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 331            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 332            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 333            	
 334            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 335                    on XML output.
 336                    
 337            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 338            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 339            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 340            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 341            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 342 mike  1.51 
 343            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 344            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 345            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 346            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 347            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 348            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 349            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 350            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 351                    
 352            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 353            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 354            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 355            generating debug output.
 356            
 357            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 358            xml when it generates xml output.
 359            
 360            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 361            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 362            repository implementation.
 363 mike  1.51 
 364            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 365            
 366            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 367            
 368            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 369            
 370            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 371            
 372            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.
 373            
 374            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 375                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 376            
 377            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 378            
 379            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.
 380            
 381            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 382            
 383            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 384 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 385                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 386            
 387            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 388                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 389                input and output can be written in a trace file.
 390            
 391            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 392                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 393                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 394            
 395            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 396                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 397                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 398                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 399                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 400                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 401                are modified to implement above messages. 
 402            
 403                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 404                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 405 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 406                indication to consumer. This program needs
 407                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 408                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 409                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 410                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 411                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 412                below:
 413            
 414                //====================================================================
 415                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 416                //====================================================================
 417                [Description (
 418                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 419                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 420                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 421            
 422            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 423                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 424                a provider library.
 425            
 426 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 427                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 428                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 429                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 430                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 431                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 432                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 433                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 434                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 435                later). 
 436            
 437                Also added are two test programs: 
 438            	
 439                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 440                    CIMParamValue class.
 441            	
 442                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 443                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 444                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 445                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 446                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 447 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 448            
 449            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 450                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 451                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 452                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 453                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 454                and to verify the authentication.
 455            
 456                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 457                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 458                yet linked into the build.
 459            
 460            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 461                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 462                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 463                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 464                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 465                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 466                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 467            
 468 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 469                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 470                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 471                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 472                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 473                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 474                provider file path name.
 475            
 476            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 477                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 478                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 479                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 480                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 481                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 482                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 483                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 484            
 485            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 486                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 487                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 488                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 489 mike  1.51 
 490            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 491                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 492                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 493                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 494            
 495            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 496                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 497                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 498                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 499                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 500                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 501                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 502                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 503                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 504            
 505            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 506                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 507                
 508            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 509            
 510 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 511                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 512                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 513                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 514                in make files.
 515               
 516            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 517                because getting an error in 26
 518            
 519            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 520                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 521                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 522                tag structure.
 523            
 524                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 525                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 526                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 527            
 528                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 529                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 530                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 531 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 532                of String type and a key of reference type.
 533            
 534                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 535                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 536                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 537                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 538                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 539                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 540                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 541                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 542            
 543                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 544                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 545                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 546                reference type.
 547            
 548                In this example:
 549            
 550                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 551            
 552 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 553                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 554                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 555                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 556                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 557            
 558                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 559                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 560                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 561                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 562                correctly.
 563            
 564                The files that have been modified to make this change are
 565                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 566            
 567                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 568                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 569                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 570                CIMOM version.
 571            
 572                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 573 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 574                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 575                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 576                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 577                definition to determine the key property types.
 578            
 579            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 580                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 581                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 582                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 583            
 584            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 585                (instanceName).
 586            
 587            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 588                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 589                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 590                relevant intrinsic methods.
 591            
 592            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 593                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 594 mike  1.51 
 595            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 596                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 597                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 598                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 599                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 600                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 601                nsk platform links. 
 602            
 603            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 604                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 605                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 606                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 607                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 608                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 609                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 610            
 611                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 612                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 613                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 614                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 615 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 616                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 617                in that same form, without special character encoding.
 618            
 619            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 620                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 621                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 622                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 623            
 624            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 625                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 626                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 627                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 628                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 629            
 630            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 631                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 632                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 633                be updated to use this class.
 634            
 635            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 636 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 637                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 638                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 639                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 640            
 641            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 642                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 643                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 644                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 645                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 646                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 647            
 648            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 649            
 650                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 651                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 652                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 653                      CIMNamedInstance
 654                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 655                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 656                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 657 mike  1.51 
 658                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 659            
 660                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 661                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 662                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 663                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 664                functionality.
 665            
 666                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 667            
 668                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 669                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 670                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 671                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 672                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 673                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 674                      the entire instance.
 675            
 676                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 677                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 678 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 679            
 680                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 681                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 682                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 683            
 684                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 685                ModifyInstance correctly.
 686            
 687            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 688                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 689                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 690                the DMTF specification.
 691            
 692                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 693                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 694                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 695                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 696            
 697                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 698            
 699 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 700                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 701                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 702                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 703                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 704                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 705                      the entire instance.
 706            
 707                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 708                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 709                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 710                      be used to update the instance.
 711            
 712                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 713                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 714                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 715            
 716                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 717                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 718                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 719            
 720 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 721                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 722                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 723                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 724                without the standard (std) namespace.
 725            
 726            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 727                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 728                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 729            
 730                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 731                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 732                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 733                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 734                following command before starting cimserver:
 735            
 736                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 737            
 738                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 739                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 740                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 741 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 742                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 743                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 744                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 745            
 746            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 747                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 748                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 749            
 750            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 751                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 752                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 753                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 754                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 755            
 756                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 757                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 758                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 759                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 760                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 761                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 762 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 763            
 764            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 765                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 766            
 767                Authentication and User Management:
 768                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 769                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 770                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 771                generated password file. 
 772            
 773                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 774                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 775                
 776                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 777                management and authorization functionality.   
 778            
 779            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 780                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 781            
 782            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 783 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 784                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 785            
 786            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 787                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 788                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 789              
 790            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 791                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 792                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 793                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 794                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 795                or change in provider registration.  
 796            
 797            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 798                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 799                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 800                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 801            
 802            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 803                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 804 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 805                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 806                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 807                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 808                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 809                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 810                How to use it in a Server or Client:
 811                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 812                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 813                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 814                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 815 mike  1.50 
 816 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 817                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 818            
 819            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 867            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 868               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 869               that
 870               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 871               password.
 872               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 873               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 874               build.
 875               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 876               modified to integrate with the framework.

 929 karl  1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
 930 karl  1.16 
 931            1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
 932            for NT and Linux platforms.
 933 mike  1.26 
 934 karl  1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
 935            5988.
 936            NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
 937            the DMTF.
 938 mike  1.26 
 939 karl  1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
 940            Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
 941            CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
 942            Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
 943 mike  1.26 
 944 bob   1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
 945            and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
 946            revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
 947 mike  1.26 
 948 bob   1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
 949            Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
 950            Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
 951            files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
 952            prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
 953            code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
 954 bob   1.20 (grb)
 955 mike  1.26 
 956 bob   1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
 957            This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
 958            to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
 959 mike  1.26 
 960 karl  1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
 961 mike  1.26 
 962 karl  1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
 963            modifyClass,
 964 chip  1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
 965 mike  1.26 
 966 karl  1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
 967            directory. These
 968            interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
 969            CIMProviderStub has
 970 chip  1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
 971 mike  1.26 
 972 sage  1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
 973 mike  1.26 
 974 karl  1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
 975            repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
 976 mike  1.26 
 977            12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
 978 mike  1.27     (MEB)
 979            
 980            13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
 981                Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
 982                Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
 983                Need to handle deleteInstance().
 984                (MEB)
 985 mike  1.26 
 986 mday  1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
 987            
 988 karl  1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
 989            AssociationName
 990 karl  1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
 991            pages.
 992            
 993 karl  1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
 994 sage  1.31 
 995            17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
 996            ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
 997            Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
 998            variables.
 999 mike  1.32 
1000            18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1001                References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1002                on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1003 kumpf 1.34 
1004            19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1005                changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1006                buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1007                change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1008                lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1009                and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1010                these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1011 karl  1.35 
1012            20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1013                tests for stack and queue.

1093            methods.
1094            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1095            qualifiers and to
1096            remove qualifiers.
1097            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1098            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1099 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1100            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1101            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1102            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1103            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
