   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 kumpf   1.86 32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 306                  Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 307                  releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 308                  the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 309              
 310 karl    1.88 33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 311                  with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 312 ramnath 1.87 	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 313 karl    1.88 	
 314              34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 315                  enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 316                  
 317 kumpf   1.89 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 318                  request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 319                  added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 320                  ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 321                  ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 322                  providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 323                  Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 324                  linked into the server.
 325 karl    1.88 
 326 kumpf   1.90 36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 327                  the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 328                  from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 329              
 330 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 331 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 332              
 333              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 334                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 335                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 336                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 337 karl    1.53        
 338              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 339              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 340              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 341              	which is the current file based repository.
 342              	
 343              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 344              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 345              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 346              	in the future.
 347 karl    1.52 
 348 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 349                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 350                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 351                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 352                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 353                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 354              
 355 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 356 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 357                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 358                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 359                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 360                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 361              
 362 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 363 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 364                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 365                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 366                 program.
 367              
 368 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 369                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 370                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 371                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 372                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 373                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 374                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 375                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 376                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 377              
 378                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 379                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 380                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 381              
 382                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 383                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 384                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 385                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 386              
 387                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 388                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 389 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 390                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 391              
 392                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 393                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 394              
 395                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 399 mike    1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 400              		current working dev branch of build
 401 mike    1.36 
 402 karl    1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 403              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 404              
 405 mike    1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 406                 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 407              
 408              2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 409 mike    1.51 =======
 410              1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 411              	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 412              	
 413              2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 414              	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 415              	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 416              	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 417              	should not affect any current work.
 418              3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 419              	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 420              	loads the 2.5 schema.
 421              	
 422              4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 423                      on XML output.
 424                      
 425              5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 426              in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 427              RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 428              declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 429              "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 430 mike    1.51 
 431              6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 432              dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 433              cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 434              and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 435              were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 436              provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 437              provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 438              to show user friendly error/status messages.
 439                      
 440              7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 441              (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 442              Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 443              generating debug output.
 444              
 445              8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 446              xml when it generates xml output.
 447              
 448              9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 449              a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 450              repository implementation.
 451 mike    1.51 
 452              10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 453              
 454              11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 455              
 456              12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 457              
 458              13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 459              
 460              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.
 461              
 462              15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 463                  CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 464              
 465              16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 466              
 467              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.
 468              
 469              18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 470              
 471              19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 472 mike    1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 473                  a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 474              
 475              20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 476                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 477                  input and output can be written in a trace file.
 478              
 479              21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 480                  Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 481                  deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 482              
 483              22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 484                  ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 485                  consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 486                  indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 487                  implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 488                  RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 489                  are modified to implement above messages. 
 490              
 491                  XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 492                  operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 493 mike    1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 494                  indication to consumer. This program needs
 495                  src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 496                  and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 497                  in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 498                  program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 499                  modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 500                  below:
 501              
 502                  //====================================================================
 503                  //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 504                  //====================================================================
 505                  [Description (
 506                    "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 507                    "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 508                    "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 509              
 510              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 511                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 512                  a provider library.
 513              
 514 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 515                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 516                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 517                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 518                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 519                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 520                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 521                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 522                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 523                  later). 
 524              
 525                  Also added are two test programs: 
 526              	
 527                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 528                      CIMParamValue class.
 529              	
 530                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 531                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 532                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 533                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 534                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 535 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 536              
 537              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 538                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 539                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 540                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 541                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 542                  and to verify the authentication.
 543              
 544                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 545                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 546                  yet linked into the build.
 547              
 548              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 549                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 550                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 551                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 552                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 553                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 554                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 555              
 556 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 557                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 558                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 559                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 560                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 561                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 562                  provider file path name.
 563              
 564              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 565                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 566                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 567                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 568                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 569                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 570                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 571                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 572              
 573              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 574                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 575                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 576                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 577 mike    1.51 
 578              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 579                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 580                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 581                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 582              
 583              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 584                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 585                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 586                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 587                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 588                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 589                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 590                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 591                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 592              
 593              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 594                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 595                  
 596              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 597              
 598 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 599                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 600                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 601                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 602                  in make files.
 603                 
 604              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 605                  because getting an error in 26
 606              
 607              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 608                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 609                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 610                  tag structure.
 611              
 612                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 613                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 614                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 615              
 616                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 617                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 618                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 619 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 620                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 621              
 622                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 623                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 624                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 625                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 626                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 627                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 628                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 629                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 630              
 631                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 632                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 633                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 634                  reference type.
 635              
 636                  In this example:
 637              
 638                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 639              
 640 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 641                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 642                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 643                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 644                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 645              
 646                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 647                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 648                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 649                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 650                  correctly.
 651              
 652                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 653                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 654              
 655                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 656                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 657                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 658                  CIMOM version.
 659              
 660                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 661 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 662                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 663                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 664                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 665                  definition to determine the key property types.
 666              
 667              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 668                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 669                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 670                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 671              
 672              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 673                  (instanceName).
 674              
 675              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 676                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 677                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 678                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 679              
 680              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 681                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 682 mike    1.51 
 683              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 684                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 685                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 686                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 687                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 688                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 689                  nsk platform links. 
 690              
 691              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 692                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 693                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 694                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 695                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 696                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 697                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 698              
 699                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 700                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 701                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 702                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 703 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 704                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 705                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 706              
 707              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 708                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 709                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 710                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 711              
 712              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 713                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 714                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 715                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 716                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 717              
 718              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 719                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 720                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 721                  be updated to use this class.
 722              
 723              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 724 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 725                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 726                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 727                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 728              
 729              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 730                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 731                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 732                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 733                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 734                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 735              
 736              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 737              
 738                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 739                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 740                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 741                        CIMNamedInstance
 742                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 743                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 744                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 745 mike    1.51 
 746                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 747              
 748                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 749                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 750                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 751                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 752                  functionality.
 753              
 754                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 755              
 756                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 757                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 758                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 759                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 760                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 761                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 762                        the entire instance.
 763              
 764                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 765                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 766 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 767              
 768                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 769                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 770                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 771              
 772                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 773                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 774              
 775              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 776                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 777                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 778                  the DMTF specification.
 779              
 780                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 781                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 782                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 783                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 784              
 785                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 786              
 787 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 788                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 789                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 790                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 791                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 792                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 793                        the entire instance.
 794              
 795                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 796                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 797                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 798                        be used to update the instance.
 799              
 800                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 801                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 802                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 803              
 804                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 805                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 806                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 807              
 808 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 809                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 810                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 811                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 812                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 813              
 814              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 815                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 816                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 817              
 818                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 819                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 820                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 821                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 822                  following command before starting cimserver:
 823              
 824                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 825              
 826                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 827                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 828                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 829 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 830                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 831                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 832                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 833              
 834              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 835                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 836                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 837              
 838              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 839                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 840                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 841                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 842                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 843              
 844                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 845                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 846                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 847                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 848                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 849                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 850 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 851              
 852              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 853                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 854              
 855                  Authentication and User Management:
 856                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 857                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 858                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 859                  generated password file. 
 860              
 861                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 862                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 863                  
 864                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 865                  management and authorization functionality.   
 866              
 867              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 868                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 869              
 870              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 871 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 872                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 873              
 874              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 875                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 876                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 877                
 878              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 879                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 880                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 881                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 882                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 883                  or change in provider registration.  
 884              
 885              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 886                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 887                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 888                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 889              
 890              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 891                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 892 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 893                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 894                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 895                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 896                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 897                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 898                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 899                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 900                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 901                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 902                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 903 mike    1.50 
 904 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 905                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 906              
 907              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 913              
 914              1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 915                 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 916                 and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 917              
 918                 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 919                 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 920              
 921                 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 922                 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.

 940                 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
 941              
 942              5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
 943                 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
 944                 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

 947                 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
 948                 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
 949                 information on running the test script.
 950              
 951 mike    1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 952                 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 953                 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 954              
 955              7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 956                 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 957                 that
 958                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 959                 password.
 960                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 961                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 962                 build.
 963                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 964                 modified to integrate with the framework.

1017 karl    1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1018 karl    1.16 
1019              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1020              for NT and Linux platforms.
1021 mike    1.26 
1022 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1023              5988.
1024              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1025              the DMTF.
1026 mike    1.26 
1027 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1028              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1029              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1030              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1031 mike    1.26 
1032 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1033              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1034              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1035 mike    1.26 
1036 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1037              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1038              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1039              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1040              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1041              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1042 bob     1.20 (grb)
1043 mike    1.26 
1044 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1045              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1046              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1047 mike    1.26 
1048 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1049 mike    1.26 
1050 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1051              modifyClass,
1052 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1053 mike    1.26 
1054 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1055              directory. These
1056              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1057              CIMProviderStub has
1058 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1059 mike    1.26 
1060 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1061 mike    1.26 
1062 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1063              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1064 mike    1.26 
1065              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1066 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1067              
1068              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1069                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1070                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1071                  Need to handle deleteInstance().
1072                  (MEB)
1073 mike    1.26 
1074 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1075              
1076 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1077              AssociationName
1078 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1079              pages.
1080              
1081 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1082 sage    1.31 
1083              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1084              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1085              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1086              variables.
1087 mike    1.32 
1088              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1089                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1090                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1091 kumpf   1.34 
1092              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1093                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1094                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1095                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1096                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1097                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1098                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1099 karl    1.35 
1100              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1101                  tests for stack and queue.

1111              	a. Enable trace to log file.
1112 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1113              	is
1114 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1115              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1116 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1117              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1118 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1119              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

1165 karl    1.5  
1166 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1167              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1168              
1169 karl    1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1170              of dynamic lib loaading.

1177 karl    1.1  
1178              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1179              qualifiers, methods.
1180              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1181              methods.
1182              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1183              qualifiers and to
1184              remove qualifiers.
1185              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1186              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1187 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1188              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1189              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1190              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1191              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
