   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 kumpf 1.79 
 238 karl  1.78 23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 239                of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 240 kumpf 1.75 
 241 kumpf 1.79 24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 242                include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 243                However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 244                CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 245                for that purpose.   
 246            
 247                A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 248            
 249                - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 250                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 251                  as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 252                  trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 253                  line number of the CIMException originator.
 254            
 255                  Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 256            
 257                - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 258                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 259                  input and writes the String to the trace file.
 260            
 261                  (ex.)
 262 kumpf 1.79       You can issue the following method call:
 263                     Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 264            
 265                  or use the following new macro:
 266                     PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 267

 270            
 271            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 272                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 273                   may temporarily be in side branches.
 274                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 275 karl  1.53        
 276            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 277            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 278            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 279            	which is the current file based repository.
 280            	
 281            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 282            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 283            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 284            	in the future.
 285 karl  1.52 
 286 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 287               to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 288               present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 289               exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 290               intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 291               CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 292            
 293 kumpf 1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 294 kumpf 1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 295               queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 296               CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 297               Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 298               it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 299            
 300 kumpf 1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 301 mary  1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 302               forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 303               service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 304               program.
 305            
 306 kumpf 1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 307                CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 308                in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 309                CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 310                CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 311                CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 312                CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 313                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 314                CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 315            
 316                This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 317                CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 318                IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 319            
 320                IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 321                when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 322                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 323                CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 324            
 325                I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 326                and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 327 kumpf 1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 328                plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 329            
 330                There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 331                Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 332            
 333                Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 337 mike  1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 338            		current working dev branch of build
 339 mike  1.36 
 340 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 341            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 342            
 343 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 344               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 345            
 346            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 347 mike  1.51 =======
 348            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 349            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 350            	
 351            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 352            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 353            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 354            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 355            	should not affect any current work.
 356            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 357            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 358            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 359            	
 360            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 361                    on XML output.
 362                    
 363            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 364            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 365            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 366            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 367            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 368 mike  1.51 
 369            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 370            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 371            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 372            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 373            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 374            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 375            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 376            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 377                    
 378            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 379            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 380            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 381            generating debug output.
 382            
 383            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 384            xml when it generates xml output.
 385            
 386            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 387            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 388            repository implementation.
 389 mike  1.51 
 390            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 391            
 392            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 393            
 394            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 395            
 396            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 397            
 398            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.
 399            
 400            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 401                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 402            
 403            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 404            
 405            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.
 406            
 407            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 408            
 409            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 410 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 411                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 412            
 413            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 414                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 415                input and output can be written in a trace file.
 416            
 417            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 418                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 419                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 420            
 421            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 422                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 423                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 424                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 425                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 426                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 427                are modified to implement above messages. 
 428            
 429                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 430                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 431 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 432                indication to consumer. This program needs
 433                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 434                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 435                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 436                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 437                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 438                below:
 439            
 440                //====================================================================
 441                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 442                //====================================================================
 443                [Description (
 444                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 445                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 446                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 447            
 448            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 449                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 450                a provider library.
 451            
 452 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 453                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 454                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 455                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 456                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 457                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 458                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 459                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 460                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 461                later). 
 462            
 463                Also added are two test programs: 
 464            	
 465                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 466                    CIMParamValue class.
 467            	
 468                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 469                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 470                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 471                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 472                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 473 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 474            
 475            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 476                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 477                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 478                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 479                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 480                and to verify the authentication.
 481            
 482                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 483                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 484                yet linked into the build.
 485            
 486            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 487                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 488                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 489                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 490                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 491                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 492                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 493            
 494 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 495                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 496                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 497                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 498                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 499                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 500                provider file path name.
 501            
 502            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 503                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 504                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 505                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 506                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 507                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 508                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 509                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 510            
 511            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 512                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 513                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 514                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 515 mike  1.51 
 516            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 517                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 518                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 519                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 520            
 521            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 522                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 523                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 524                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 525                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 526                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 527                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 528                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 529                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 530            
 531            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 532                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 533                
 534            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 535            
 536 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 537                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 538                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 539                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 540                in make files.
 541               
 542            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 543                because getting an error in 26
 544            
 545            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 546                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 547                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 548                tag structure.
 549            
 550                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 551                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 552                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 553            
 554                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 555                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 556                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 557 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 558                of String type and a key of reference type.
 559            
 560                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 561                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 562                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 563                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 564                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 565                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 566                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 567                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 568            
 569                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 570                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 571                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 572                reference type.
 573            
 574                In this example:
 575            
 576                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 577            
 578 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 579                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 580                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 581                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 582                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 583            
 584                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 585                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 586                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 587                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 588                correctly.
 589            
 590                The files that have been modified to make this change are
 591                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 592            
 593                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 594                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 595                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 596                CIMOM version.
 597            
 598                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 599 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 600                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 601                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 602                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 603                definition to determine the key property types.
 604            
 605            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 606                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 607                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 608                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 609            
 610            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 611                (instanceName).
 612            
 613            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 614                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 615                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 616                relevant intrinsic methods.
 617            
 618            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 619                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 620 mike  1.51 
 621            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 622                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 623                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 624                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 625                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 626                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 627                nsk platform links. 
 628            
 629            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 630                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 631                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 632                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 633                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 634                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 635                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 636            
 637                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 638                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 639                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 640                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 641 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 642                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 643                in that same form, without special character encoding.
 644            
 645            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 646                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 647                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 648                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 649            
 650            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 651                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 652                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 653                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 654                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 655            
 656            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 657                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 658                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 659                be updated to use this class.
 660            
 661            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 662 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 663                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 664                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 665                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 666            
 667            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 668                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 669                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 670                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 671                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 672                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 673            
 674            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 675            
 676                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 677                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 678                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 679                      CIMNamedInstance
 680                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 681                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 682                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 683 mike  1.51 
 684                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 685            
 686                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 687                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 688                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 689                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 690                functionality.
 691            
 692                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 693            
 694                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 695                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 696                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 697                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 698                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 699                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 700                      the entire instance.
 701            
 702                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 703                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 704 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 705            
 706                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 707                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 708                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 709            
 710                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 711                ModifyInstance correctly.
 712            
 713            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 714                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 715                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 716                the DMTF specification.
 717            
 718                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 719                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 720                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 721                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 722            
 723                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 724            
 725 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 726                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 727                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 728                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 729                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 730                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 731                      the entire instance.
 732            
 733                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 734                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 735                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 736                      be used to update the instance.
 737            
 738                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 739                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 740                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 741            
 742                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 743                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 744                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 745            
 746 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 747                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 748                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 749                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 750                without the standard (std) namespace.
 751            
 752            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 753                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 754                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 755            
 756                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 757                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 758                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 759                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 760                following command before starting cimserver:
 761            
 762                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 763            
 764                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 765                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 766                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 767 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 768                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 769                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 770                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 771            
 772            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 773                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 774                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 775            
 776            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 777                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 778                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 779                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 780                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 781            
 782                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 783                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 784                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 785                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 786                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 787                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 788 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 789            
 790            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 791                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 792            
 793                Authentication and User Management:
 794                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 795                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 796                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 797                generated password file. 
 798            
 799                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 800                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 801                
 802                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 803                management and authorization functionality.   
 804            
 805            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 806                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 807            
 808            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 809 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 810                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 811            
 812            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 813                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 814                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 815              
 816            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 817                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 818                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 819                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 820                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 821                or change in provider registration.  
 822            
 823            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 824                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 825                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 826                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 827            
 828            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 829                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 830 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 831                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 832                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 833                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 834                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 835                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 836                How to use it in a Server or Client:
 837                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 838                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 839                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 840                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 841 mike  1.50 
 842 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 843                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 844            
 845            60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 893            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 894               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 895               that
 896               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 897               password.
 898               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 899               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 900               build.
 901               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 902               modified to integrate with the framework.

 929 mike  1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
 930            
 931            5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
 932               ids to queue pointers).
 933            
 934 mike  1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler

 955 karl  1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
 956 karl  1.16 
 957            1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
 958            for NT and Linux platforms.
 959 mike  1.26 
 960 karl  1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
 961            5988.
 962            NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
 963            the DMTF.
 964 mike  1.26 
 965 karl  1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
 966            Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
 967            CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
 968            Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
 969 mike  1.26 
 970 bob   1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
 971            and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
 972            revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
 973 mike  1.26 
 974 bob   1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
 975            Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
 976            Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
 977            files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
 978            prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
 979            code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
 980 bob   1.20 (grb)
 981 mike  1.26 
 982 bob   1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
 983            This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
 984            to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
 985 mike  1.26 
 986 karl  1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
 987 mike  1.26 
 988 karl  1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
 989            modifyClass,
 990 chip  1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
 991 mike  1.26 
 992 karl  1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
 993            directory. These
 994            interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
 995            CIMProviderStub has
 996 chip  1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
 997 mike  1.26 
 998 sage  1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
 999 mike  1.26 
1000 karl  1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1001            repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1002 mike  1.26 
1003            12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1004 mike  1.27     (MEB)
1005            
1006            13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1007                Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1008                Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1009                Need to handle deleteInstance().

1012 mday  1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1013            
1014 karl  1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1015            AssociationName
1016 karl  1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1017            pages.
1018            
1019 karl  1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1020 sage  1.31 
1021            17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1022            ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1023            Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1024            variables.
1025 mike  1.32 
1026            18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1027                References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1028                on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1029 kumpf 1.34 
1030            19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1031                changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1032                buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1033                change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1034                lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1035                and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1036                these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1037 karl  1.35 
1038            20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1039                tests for stack and queue.

1115 karl  1.1  
1116            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1117            qualifiers, methods.
1118            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1119            methods.
1120            3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1121            qualifiers and to
1122            remove qualifiers.
1123            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1124            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1125 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1126            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1127            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1128            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1129            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
