   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                
 268 ramnath 1.81 25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 269 ramnath 1.80 	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 270              	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 271              	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 272              	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 273              	operator to be "OR"ed.
 274 ramnath 1.81 
 275              26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 276              	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 277              	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 278              	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 279              	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 280              	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 281              	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 282              	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.

 284 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 285 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 286              
 287              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 288                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 289                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 290                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 291 karl    1.53        
 292              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 293              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 294              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 295              	which is the current file based repository.
 296              	
 297              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 298              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 299              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 300              	in the future.
 301 karl    1.52 
 302 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 303                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 304                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 305                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 306                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 307                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 308              
 309 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 310 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 311                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 312                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 313                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 314                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 315              
 316 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 317 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 318                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 319                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 320                 program.
 321              
 322 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 323                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 324                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 325                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 326                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 327                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 328                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 329                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 330                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 331              
 332                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 333                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 334                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 335              
 336                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 337                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 338                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 339                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 340              
 341                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 342                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 343 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 344                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 345              
 346                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 347                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 348              
 349                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 353 mike    1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 354              		current working dev branch of build
 355 mike    1.36 
 356 karl    1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 357              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 358              
 359 mike    1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 360                 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 361              
 362              2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 363 mike    1.51 =======
 364              1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 365              	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 366              	
 367              2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 368              	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 369              	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 370              	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 371              	should not affect any current work.
 372              3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 373              	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 374              	loads the 2.5 schema.
 375              	
 376              4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 377                      on XML output.
 378                      
 379              5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 380              in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 381              RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 382              declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 383              "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 384 mike    1.51 
 385              6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 386              dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 387              cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 388              and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 389              were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 390              provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 391              provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 392              to show user friendly error/status messages.
 393                      
 394              7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 395              (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 396              Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 397              generating debug output.
 398              
 399              8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 400              xml when it generates xml output.
 401              
 402              9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 403              a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 404              repository implementation.
 405 mike    1.51 
 406              10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 407              
 408              11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 409              
 410              12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 411              
 412              13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 413              
 414              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.
 415              
 416              15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 417                  CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 418              
 419              16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 420              
 421              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.
 422              
 423              18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 424              
 425              19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 426 mike    1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 427                  a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 428              
 429              20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 430                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 431                  input and output can be written in a trace file.
 432              
 433              21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 434                  Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 435                  deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 436              
 437              22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 438                  ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 439                  consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 440                  indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 441                  implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 442                  RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 443                  are modified to implement above messages. 
 444              
 445                  XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 446                  operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 447 mike    1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 448                  indication to consumer. This program needs
 449                  src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 450                  and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 451                  in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 452                  program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 453                  modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 454                  below:
 455              
 456                  //====================================================================
 457                  //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 458                  //====================================================================
 459                  [Description (
 460                    "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 461                    "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 462                    "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 463              
 464              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 465                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 466                  a provider library.
 467              
 468 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 469                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 470                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 471                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 472                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 473                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 474                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 475                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 476                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 477                  later). 
 478              
 479                  Also added are two test programs: 
 480              	
 481                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 482                      CIMParamValue class.
 483              	
 484                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 485                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 486                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 487                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 488                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 489 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 490              
 491              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 492                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 493                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 494                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 495                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 496                  and to verify the authentication.
 497              
 498                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 499                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 500                  yet linked into the build.
 501              
 502              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 503                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 504                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 505                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 506                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 507                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 508                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 509              
 510 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 511                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 512                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 513                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 514                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 515                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 516                  provider file path name.
 517              
 518              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 519                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 520                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 521                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 522                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 523                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 524                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 525                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 526              
 527              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 528                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 529                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 530                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 531 mike    1.51 
 532              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 533                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 534                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 535                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 536              
 537              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 538                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 539                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 540                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 541                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 542                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 543                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 544                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 545                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 546              
 547              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 548                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 549                  
 550              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 551              
 552 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 553                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 554                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 555                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 556                  in make files.
 557                 
 558              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 559                  because getting an error in 26
 560              
 561              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 562                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 563                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 564                  tag structure.
 565              
 566                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 567                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 568                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 569              
 570                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 571                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 572                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 573 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 574                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 575              
 576                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 577                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 578                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 579                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 580                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 581                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 582                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 583                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 584              
 585                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 586                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 587                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 588                  reference type.
 589              
 590                  In this example:
 591              
 592                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 593              
 594 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 595                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 596                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 597                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 598                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 599              
 600                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 601                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 602                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 603                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 604                  correctly.
 605              
 606                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 607                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 608              
 609                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 610                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 611                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 612                  CIMOM version.
 613              
 614                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 615 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 616                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 617                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 618                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 619                  definition to determine the key property types.
 620              
 621              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 622                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 623                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 624                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 625              
 626              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 627                  (instanceName).
 628              
 629              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 630                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 631                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 632                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 633              
 634              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 635                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 636 mike    1.51 
 637              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 638                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 639                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 640                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 641                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 642                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 643                  nsk platform links. 
 644              
 645              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 646                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 647                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 648                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 649                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 650                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 651                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 652              
 653                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 654                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 655                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 656                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 657 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 658                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 659                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 660              
 661              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 662                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 663                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 664                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 665              
 666              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 667                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 668                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 669                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 670                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 671              
 672              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 673                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 674                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 675                  be updated to use this class.
 676              
 677              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 678 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 679                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 680                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 681                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 682              
 683              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 684                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 685                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 686                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 687                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 688                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 689              
 690              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 691              
 692                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 693                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 694                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 695                        CIMNamedInstance
 696                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 697                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 698                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 699 mike    1.51 
 700                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 701              
 702                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 703                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 704                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 705                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 706                  functionality.
 707              
 708                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 709              
 710                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 711                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 712                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 713                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 714                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 715                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 716                        the entire instance.
 717              
 718                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 719                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 720 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 721              
 722                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 723                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 724                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 725              
 726                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 727                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 728              
 729              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 730                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 731                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 732                  the DMTF specification.
 733              
 734                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 735                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 736                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 737                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 738              
 739                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 740              
 741 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 742                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 743                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 744                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 745                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 746                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 747                        the entire instance.
 748              
 749                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 750                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 751                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 752                        be used to update the instance.
 753              
 754                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 755                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 756                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 757              
 758                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 759                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 760                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 761              
 762 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 763                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 764                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 765                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 766                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 767              
 768              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 769                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 770                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 771              
 772                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 773                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 774                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 775                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 776                  following command before starting cimserver:
 777              
 778                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 779              
 780                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 781                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 782                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 783 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 784                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 785                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 786                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 787              
 788              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 789                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 790                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 791              
 792              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 793                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 794                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 795                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 796                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 797              
 798                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 799                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 800                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 801                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 802                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 803                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 804 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 805              
 806              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 807                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 808              
 809                  Authentication and User Management:
 810                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 811                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 812                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 813                  generated password file. 
 814              
 815                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 816                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 817                  
 818                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 819                  management and authorization functionality.   
 820              
 821              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 822                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 823              
 824              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 825 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 826                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 827              
 828              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 829                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 830                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 831                
 832              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 833                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 834                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 835                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 836                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 837                  or change in provider registration.  
 838              
 839              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 840                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 841                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 842                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 843              
 844              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 845                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 846 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 847                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 848                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 849                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 850                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 851                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 852                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 853                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 854                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 855                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 856                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 857 mike    1.50 
 858 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 859                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 860              
 861              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 869                 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 870                 and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 871              
 872                 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 873                 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 874              
 875                 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 876                 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 877              
 878              2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 879                 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 880                 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 881                 and SimpleThread.
 882              
 883              3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer
 884 mike    1.51    to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more

 900                 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
 901                 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
 902                 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
 903                 information on running the test script.
 904              
 905 mike    1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 906                 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 907                 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 908              
 909              7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 910                 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 911                 that
 912                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 913                 password.
 914                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 915                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 916                 build.
 917                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 918                 modified to integrate with the framework.

 931 mike    1.36 
 932 karl    1.38 1. (Mike Brasher) Added support for class association operations
 933 mike    1.37     (references(), associators(), referenceNames(), associatorNames()).
 934              
 935 kumpf   1.39 2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes
 936                 in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names.
 937              
 938 mike    1.41 3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes.
 939              
 940              4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.
 941              
 942 kumpf   1.40 3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
 943                 allow slp to compile.
 944              
 945 mike    1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
 946              
 947              5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
 948                 ids to queue pointers).
 949              
 950 mike    1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
 951                 and Dispatcher.
 952              
 953 karl    1.48 7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
 954              and
 955                 CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
 956 chip    1.44    ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.
 957 mike    1.45 
 958              8. (Mike Brasher) - Replaced dispatcher with a queue-based dispatcher.

 972 karl    1.16 
 973              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
 974              for NT and Linux platforms.
 975 mike    1.26 
 976 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
 977              5988.
 978              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
 979              the DMTF.
 980 mike    1.26 
 981 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
 982              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
 983              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
 984              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
 985 mike    1.26 
 986 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
 987              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
 988              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
 989 mike    1.26 
 990 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
 991              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
 992              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
 993              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
 994              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
 995              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
 996 bob     1.20 (grb)
 997 mike    1.26 
 998 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
 999              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1000              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1001 mike    1.26 
1002 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1003 mike    1.26 
1004 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1005              modifyClass,
1006 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1007 mike    1.26 
1008 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1009              directory. These
1010              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1011              CIMProviderStub has
1012 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1013 mike    1.26 
1014 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1015 mike    1.26 
1016 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1017              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1018 mike    1.26 
1019              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1020 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1021              
1022              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1023                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1024                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1025                  Need to handle deleteInstance().

1027 mike    1.26 
1028 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1029              
1030 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1031              AssociationName
1032 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1033              pages.
1034              
1035 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1036 sage    1.31 
1037              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1038              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1039              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1040              variables.
1041 mike    1.32 
1042              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1043                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1044                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1045 kumpf   1.34 
1046              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1047                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1048                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1049                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1050                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1051                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1052                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1053 karl    1.35 
1054              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1055                  tests for stack and queue.

1066 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1067              	is
1068 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1069              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1070 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1071              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1072 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1073              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

1119 karl    1.5  
1120 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1121              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1122              
1123 karl    1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1124              of dynamic lib loaading.

1130 karl    1.3  21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1131 karl    1.1  
1132              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1133              qualifiers, methods.
1134              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1135              methods.
1136              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1137              qualifiers and to
1138              remove qualifiers.
1139              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1140              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1141 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1142              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1143              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1144              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1145              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
