   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.
 283 ramnath 1.80 
 284 mary    1.82 27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 285              	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 286              	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 287              	in the Windows service work thread.
 288              
 289 karl    1.83 28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 290                      local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 291              	executable
 292                     
 293              29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 294                      executable. 
 295 kumpf   1.84 
 296              30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 297                  Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 298                  range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 299                  exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 300                  an integer of the specified size.
 301              
 302 kumpf   1.85 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 303                  in XmlReader.cpp.
 304              
 305 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 306 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 307              
 308              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 309                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 310                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 311                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 312 karl    1.53        
 313              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 314              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 315              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 316              	which is the current file based repository.
 317              	
 318              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 319              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 320              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 321              	in the future.
 322 karl    1.52 
 323 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 324                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 325                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 326                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 327                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 328                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 329              
 330 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 331 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 332                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 333                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 334                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 335                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 336              
 337 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 338 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 339                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 340                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 341                 program.
 342              
 343 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 344                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 345                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 346                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 347                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 348                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 349                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 350                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 351                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 352              
 353                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 354                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 355                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 356              
 357                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 358                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 359                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 360                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 361              
 362                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 363                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 364 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 365                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 366              
 367                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 368                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 369              
 370                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 373 karl    1.1  
 374 mike    1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 375              		current working dev branch of build
 376 mike    1.36 
 377 karl    1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 378              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 379              
 380 mike    1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 381                 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 382              
 383              2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 384 mike    1.51 =======
 385              1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 386              	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 387              	
 388              2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 389              	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 390              	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 391              	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 392              	should not affect any current work.
 393              3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 394              	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 395              	loads the 2.5 schema.
 396              	
 397              4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 398                      on XML output.
 399                      
 400              5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 401              in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 402              RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 403              declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 404              "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 405 mike    1.51 
 406              6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 407              dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 408              cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 409              and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 410              were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 411              provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 412              provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 413              to show user friendly error/status messages.
 414                      
 415              7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 416              (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 417              Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 418              generating debug output.
 419              
 420              8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 421              xml when it generates xml output.
 422              
 423              9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 424              a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 425              repository implementation.
 426 mike    1.51 
 427              10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 428              
 429              11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 430              
 431              12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 432              
 433              13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 434              
 435              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.
 436              
 437              15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 438                  CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 439              
 440              16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 441              
 442              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.
 443              
 444              18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 445              
 446              19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 447 mike    1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 448                  a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 449              
 450              20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 451                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 452                  input and output can be written in a trace file.
 453              
 454              21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 455                  Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 456                  deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 457              
 458              22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 459                  ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 460                  consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 461                  indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 462                  implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 463                  RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 464                  are modified to implement above messages. 
 465              
 466                  XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 467                  operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 468 mike    1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 469                  indication to consumer. This program needs
 470                  src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 471                  and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 472                  in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 473                  program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 474                  modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 475                  below:
 476              
 477                  //====================================================================
 478                  //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 479                  //====================================================================
 480                  [Description (
 481                    "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 482                    "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 483                    "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 484              
 485              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 486                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 487                  a provider library.
 488              
 489 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 490                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 491                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 492                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 493                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 494                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 495                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 496                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 497                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 498                  later). 
 499              
 500                  Also added are two test programs: 
 501              	
 502                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 503                      CIMParamValue class.
 504              	
 505                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 506                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 507                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 508                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 509                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 510 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 511              
 512              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 513                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 514                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 515                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 516                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 517                  and to verify the authentication.
 518              
 519                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 520                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 521                  yet linked into the build.
 522              
 523              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 524                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 525                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 526                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 527                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 528                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 529                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 530              
 531 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 532                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 533                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 534                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 535                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 536                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 537                  provider file path name.
 538              
 539              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 540                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 541                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 542                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 543                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 544                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 545                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 546                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 547              
 548              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 549                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 550                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 551                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 552 mike    1.51 
 553              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 554                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 555                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 556                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 557              
 558              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 559                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 560                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 561                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 562                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 563                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 564                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 565                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 566                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 567              
 568              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 569                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 570                  
 571              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 572              
 573 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 574                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 575                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 576                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 577                  in make files.
 578                 
 579              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 580                  because getting an error in 26
 581              
 582              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 583                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 584                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 585                  tag structure.
 586              
 587                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 588                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 589                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 590              
 591                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 592                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 593                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 594 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 595                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 596              
 597                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 598                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 599                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 600                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 601                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 602                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 603                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 604                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 605              
 606                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 607                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 608                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 609                  reference type.
 610              
 611                  In this example:
 612              
 613                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 614              
 615 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 616                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 617                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 618                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 619                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 620              
 621                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 622                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 623                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 624                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 625                  correctly.
 626              
 627                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 628                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 629              
 630                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 631                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 632                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 633                  CIMOM version.
 634              
 635                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 636 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 637                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 638                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 639                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 640                  definition to determine the key property types.
 641              
 642              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 643                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 644                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 645                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 646              
 647              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 648                  (instanceName).
 649              
 650              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 651                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 652                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 653                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 654              
 655              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 656                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 657 mike    1.51 
 658              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 659                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 660                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 661                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 662                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 663                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 664                  nsk platform links. 
 665              
 666              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 667                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 668                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 669                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 670                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 671                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 672                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 673              
 674                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 675                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 676                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 677                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 678 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 679                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 680                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 681              
 682              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 683                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 684                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 685                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 686              
 687              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 688                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 689                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 690                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 691                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 692              
 693              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 694                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 695                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 696                  be updated to use this class.
 697              
 698              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 699 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 700                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 701                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 702                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 703              
 704              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 705                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 706                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 707                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 708                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 709                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 710              
 711              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 712              
 713                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 714                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 715                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 716                        CIMNamedInstance
 717                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 718                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 719                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 720 mike    1.51 
 721                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 722              
 723                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 724                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 725                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 726                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 727                  functionality.
 728              
 729                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 730              
 731                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 732                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 733                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 734                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 735                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 736                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 737                        the entire instance.
 738              
 739                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 740                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 741 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 742              
 743                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 744                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 745                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 746              
 747                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 748                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 749              
 750              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 751                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 752                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 753                  the DMTF specification.
 754              
 755                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 756                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 757                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 758                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 759              
 760                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 761              
 762 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 763                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 764                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 765                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 766                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 767                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 768                        the entire instance.
 769              
 770                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 771                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 772                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 773                        be used to update the instance.
 774              
 775                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 776                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 777                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 778              
 779                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 780                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 781                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 782              
 783 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 784                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 785                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 786                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 787                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 788              
 789              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 790                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 791                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 792              
 793                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 794                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 795                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 796                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 797                  following command before starting cimserver:
 798              
 799                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 800              
 801                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 802                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 803                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 804 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 805                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 806                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 807                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 808              
 809              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 810                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 811                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 812              
 813              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 814                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 815                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 816                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 817                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 818              
 819                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 820                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 821                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 822                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 823                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 824                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 825 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 826              
 827              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 828                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 829              
 830                  Authentication and User Management:
 831                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 832                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 833                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 834                  generated password file. 
 835              
 836                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 837                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 838                  
 839                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 840                  management and authorization functionality.   
 841              
 842              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 843                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 844              
 845              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 846 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 847                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 848              
 849              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 850                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 851                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 852                
 853              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 854                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 855                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 856                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 857                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 858                  or change in provider registration.  
 859              
 860              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 861                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 862                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 863                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 864              
 865              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 866                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 867 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 868                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 869                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 870                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 871                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 872                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 873                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 874                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 875                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 876                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 877                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 878 mike    1.50 
 879 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 880                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 881              
 882              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 889              1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 890                 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 891                 and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 892              
 893                 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 894                 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 895              
 896                 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 897                 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 898              
 899              2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 900                 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 901                 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 902                 and SimpleThread.
 903              
 904              3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer
 905 mike    1.51    to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more
 906                 information on using wbemexec.  A simple test script is included.  Please

 908                 the test script.
 909              
 910              4. (Sushma Fernandes - HP)  Implementation of Trace Framework.  Please
 911                 refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf
 912                 and

 914                 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
 915                 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
 916              
 917              5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
 918                 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
 919                 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page
 920                 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on
 921                 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
 922                 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
 923                 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
 924                 information on running the test script.
 925              
 926 mike    1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 927                 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 928                 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 929              
 930              7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 931                 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 932                 that
 933                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 934                 password.
 935                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 936                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 937                 build.
 938                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 939                 modified to integrate with the framework.

 952 mike    1.36 
 953 karl    1.38 1. (Mike Brasher) Added support for class association operations
 954 mike    1.37     (references(), associators(), referenceNames(), associatorNames()).
 955              
 956 kumpf   1.39 2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes

 965              
 966 mike    1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
 967              
 968              5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
 969                 ids to queue pointers).
 970              
 971 mike    1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler

 993 karl    1.16 
 994              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
 995              for NT and Linux platforms.
 996 mike    1.26 
 997 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
 998              5988.
 999              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1000              the DMTF.
1001 mike    1.26 
1002 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1003              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1004              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1005              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1006 mike    1.26 
1007 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1008              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1009              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1010 mike    1.26 
1011 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1012              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1013              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1014              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1015              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1016              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.

1019 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1020              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1021              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1022 mike    1.26 
1023 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1024 mike    1.26 
1025 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1026              modifyClass,
1027 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.

1029 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1030              directory. These
1031              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1032              CIMProviderStub has
1033 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1034 mike    1.26 
1035 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1036 mike    1.26 
1037 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1038              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1039 mike    1.26 
1040              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1041 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1042              
1043              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1044                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1045                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1046                  Need to handle deleteInstance().

1048 mike    1.26 
1049 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1050              
1051 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1052              AssociationName
1053 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1054              pages.
1055              
1056 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1057 sage    1.31 
1058              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1059              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1060              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1061              variables.
1062 mike    1.32 
1063              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1064                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1065                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1066 kumpf   1.34 
1067              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1068                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1069                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1070                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1071                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1072                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1073                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1074 karl    1.35 
1075              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1076                  tests for stack and queue.

1089 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1090              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1091 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1092              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.

1140 karl    1.5  
1141 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1142              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1143              
1144 karl    1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1145              of dynamic lib loaading.

1151 karl    1.3  21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1152 karl    1.1  
1153              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1154              qualifiers, methods.
1155              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1156              methods.
1157              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1158              qualifiers and to
1159              remove qualifiers.
1160              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1161              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1162 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1163              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1164              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1165              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1166              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
