   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 kumpf   1.91 37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 331                  ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 332                  provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 333                  ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 334                  Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 335 karl    1.92     
 336              38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 337                  extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 338                  use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 340 kumpf   1.91 
 341 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 342 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 343              
 344              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 345                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 346                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 347                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 348 karl    1.53        
 349              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 350              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 351              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 352              	which is the current file based repository.
 353              	
 354              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 355              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 356              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 357              	in the future.
 358 karl    1.52 
 359 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 360                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 361                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 362                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 363                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 364                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 365              
 366 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 367 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 368                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 369                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 370                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 371                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 372              
 373 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 374 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 375                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 376                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 377                 program.
 378              
 379 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 380                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 381                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 382                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 383                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 384                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 385                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 386                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 387                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 388              
 389                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 390                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 391                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 392              
 393                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 394                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 395                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 396                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 397              
 398                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 399                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 400 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 401                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 402              
 403                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 404                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 405              
 406                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 414              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 415              
 416 mike    1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 417                 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 418              
 419              2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 420 mike    1.51 =======
 421              1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 422              	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 423              	
 424              2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 425              	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 426              	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 427              	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 428              	should not affect any current work.
 429              3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 430              	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 431              	loads the 2.5 schema.
 432              	
 433              4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 434                      on XML output.
 435                      
 436              5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 437              in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 438              RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 439              declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 440              "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 441 mike    1.51 
 442              6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 443              dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 444              cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 445              and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 446              were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 447              provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 448              provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 449              to show user friendly error/status messages.
 450                      
 451              7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 452              (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 453              Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 454              generating debug output.
 455              
 456              8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 457              xml when it generates xml output.
 458              
 459              9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 460              a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 461              repository implementation.
 462 mike    1.51 
 463              10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 464              
 465              11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 466              
 467              12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 468              
 469              13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 470              
 471              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.
 472              
 473              15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 474                  CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 475              
 476              16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 477              
 478              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.
 479              
 480              18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 481              
 482              19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 483 mike    1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 484                  a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 485              
 486              20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 487                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 488                  input and output can be written in a trace file.
 489              
 490              21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 491                  Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 492                  deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 493              
 494              22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 495                  ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 496                  consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 497                  indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 498                  implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 499                  RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 500                  are modified to implement above messages. 
 501              
 502                  XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 503                  operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 504 mike    1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 505                  indication to consumer. This program needs
 506                  src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 507                  and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 508                  in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 509                  program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 510                  modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 511                  below:

 521              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 522                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 523                  a provider library.
 524              
 525 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 526                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 527                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 528                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 529                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 530                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 531                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 532                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 533                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 534                  later). 
 535              
 536                  Also added are two test programs: 
 537              	
 538                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 539                      CIMParamValue class.
 540              	
 541                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 542                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 543                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 544                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 545                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 546 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 547              
 548              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 549                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 550                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 551                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 552                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 553                  and to verify the authentication.
 554              
 555                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 556                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 557                  yet linked into the build.
 558              
 559              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 560                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 561                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 562                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 563                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 564                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 565                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 566              
 567 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 568                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 569                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 570                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 571                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 572                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 573                  provider file path name.
 574              
 575              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 576                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 577                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 578                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 579                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 580                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 581                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 582                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 583              
 584              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 585                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 586                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 587                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 588 mike    1.51 
 589              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 590                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 591                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 592                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 593              
 594              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 595                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 596                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 597                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 598                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 599                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 600                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 601                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 602                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 603              
 604              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 605                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 606                  
 607              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 608              
 609 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 610                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 611                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 612                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 613                  in make files.
 614                 
 615              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 616                  because getting an error in 26
 617              
 618              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 619                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 620                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 621                  tag structure.
 622              
 623                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 624                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 625                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 626              
 627                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 628                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 629                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 630 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 631                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 632              
 633                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 634                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 635                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 636                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 637                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 638                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 639                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 640                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 641              
 642                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 643                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 644                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 645                  reference type.
 646              
 647                  In this example:
 648              
 649                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 650              
 651 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 652                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 653                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 654                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 655                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 656              
 657                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 658                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 659                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 660                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 661                  correctly.
 662              
 663                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 664                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 665              
 666                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 667                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 668                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 669                  CIMOM version.
 670              
 671                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 672 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 673                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 674                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 675                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 676                  definition to determine the key property types.
 677              
 678              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 679                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 680                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 681                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 682              
 683              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 684                  (instanceName).
 685              
 686              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 687                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 688                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 689                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 690              
 691              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 692                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 693 mike    1.51 
 694              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 695                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 696                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 697                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 698                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 699                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 700                  nsk platform links. 
 701              
 702              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 703                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 704                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 705                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 706                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 707                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 708                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 709              
 710                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 711                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 712                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 713                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 714 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 715                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 716                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 717              
 718              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 719                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 720                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 721                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 722              
 723              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 724                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 725                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 726                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 727                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 728              
 729              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 730                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 731                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 732                  be updated to use this class.
 733              
 734              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 735 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 736                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 737                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 738                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 739              
 740              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 741                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 742                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 743                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 744                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 745                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 746              
 747              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 748              
 749                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 750                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 751                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 752                        CIMNamedInstance
 753                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 754                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 755                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 756 mike    1.51 
 757                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 758              
 759                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 760                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 761                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 762                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 763                  functionality.
 764              
 765                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 766              
 767                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 768                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 769                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 770                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 771                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 772                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 773                        the entire instance.
 774              
 775                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 776                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 777 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 778              
 779                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 780                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 781                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 782              
 783                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 784                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 785              
 786              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 787                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 788                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 789                  the DMTF specification.
 790              
 791                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 792                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 793                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 794                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 795              
 796                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 797              
 798 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 799                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 800                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 801                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 802                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 803                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 804                        the entire instance.
 805              
 806                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 807                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 808                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 809                        be used to update the instance.
 810              
 811                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 812                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 813                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 814              
 815                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 816                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 817                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 818              
 819 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 820                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 821                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 822                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 823                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 824              
 825              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 826                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 827                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 828              
 829                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 830                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 831                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 832                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 833                  following command before starting cimserver:
 834              
 835                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 836              
 837                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 838                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 839                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 840 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 841                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 842                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 843                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 844              
 845              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 846                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 847                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 848              
 849              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 850                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 851                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 852                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 853                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 854              
 855                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 856                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 857                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 858                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 859                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 860                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 861 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 862              
 863              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 864                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 865              
 866                  Authentication and User Management:
 867                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 868                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 869                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 870                  generated password file. 
 871              
 872                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 873                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 874                  
 875                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 876                  management and authorization functionality.   
 877              
 878              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 879                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 880              
 881              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 882 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 883                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 884              
 885              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 886                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 887                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 888                
 889              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 890                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 891                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 892                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 893                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 894                  or change in provider registration.  
 895              
 896              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 897                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 898                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 899                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 900              
 901              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 902                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 903 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 904                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 905                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 906                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 907                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 908                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 909                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 910                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 911                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 912                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 913                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 914 mike    1.50 
 915 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 916                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 917              
 918              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.
 919 kumpf   1.61

 924              
 925              1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 926                 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 927                 and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 928              
 929                 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 930                 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 931              
 932                 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 933                 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 934              
 935              2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 936                 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 937                 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 938                 and SimpleThread.
 939              
 940              3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer
 941 mike    1.51    to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more
 942                 information on using wbemexec.  A simple test script is included.  Please
 943                 see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for information on running
 944                 the test script.
 945              
 946              4. (Sushma Fernandes - HP)  Implementation of Trace Framework.  Please
 947                 refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf
 948                 and
 949                 src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingUserGuide.pdf for more information on using
 950                 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
 951                 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
 952              
 953              5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
 954                 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
 955                 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page
 956                 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on
 957                 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
 958                 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
 959                 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
 960                 information on running the test script.
 961              
 962 mike    1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 963                 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 964                 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 965              
 966              7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 967                 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 968                 that
 969                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 970                 password.
 971                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 972                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 973                 build.
 974                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 975                 modified to integrate with the framework.

1013 chip    1.44    ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.
1014 mike    1.45 
1015              8. (Mike Brasher) - Replaced dispatcher with a queue-based dispatcher.
1016              
1017              9. (Mike Brasher) - Retrofited CIMOMHandle to be queue-based.
1018              
1019 mike    1.46 10. (Mike Brasher) - Changed CIMOMHandle to carry repository pointer.
1020              
1021 mike    1.47 11. (Mike Brasher) - Ported to TRU64.
1022              
1023              12. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed compiler error on Linux.

1028 karl    1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1029 karl    1.16 
1030              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1031              for NT and Linux platforms.
1032 mike    1.26 
1033 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1034              5988.
1035              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1036              the DMTF.
1037 mike    1.26 
1038 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1039              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1040              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1041              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1042 mike    1.26 
1043 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1044              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1045              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1046 mike    1.26 
1047 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1048              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1049              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1050              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1051              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1052              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1053 bob     1.20 (grb)
1054 mike    1.26 
1055 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1056              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1057              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1058 mike    1.26 
1059 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1060 mike    1.26 
1061 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1062              modifyClass,
1063 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1064 mike    1.26 
1065 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1066              directory. These
1067              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1068              CIMProviderStub has
1069 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1070 mike    1.26 
1071 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1072 mike    1.26 
1073 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1074              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1075 mike    1.26 
1076              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1077 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1078              
1079              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1080                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1081                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1082                  Need to handle deleteInstance().
1083                  (MEB)
1084 mike    1.26 
1085 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1086              
1087 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1088              AssociationName
1089 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1090              pages.
1091              
1092 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1093 sage    1.31 
1094              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1095              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1096              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1097              variables.
1098 mike    1.32 
1099              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1100                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1101                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1102 kumpf   1.34 
1103              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1104                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1105                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1106                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1107                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1108                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1109                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1110 karl    1.35 
1111              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1112                  tests for stack and queue.

1119 karl    1.12 1. (KS)OptionManager (CPP and H), Logger (CPP and H), Handler (CPP and H),
1120              CIMServer (both)
1121 karl    1.11 Functions added include:
1122              	a. Enable trace to log file.
1123 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1124              	is
1125 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1126              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1127 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1128              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1129 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1130              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1131 karl    1.15 2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.
1132 mike    1.33 
1133 karl    1.15 3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x
1134 mike    1.33 
1135 karl    1.15 4. (KS)Extended options on CIMServer including 1. option to determine where

1144 mike    1.33 
1145 karl    1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1146              not
1147 karl    1.14 print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1148              and components of the message causing the problem.
1149 mike    1.33 
1150 karl    1.15 8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1161              1. Extend HP UX port to correctly load Dynamic Load Libraries.
1162              2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1163              3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1164                 Handler.h to work off of flag.
1165              4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
1166              5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.
1167              6. Correct errors in documentation.
1168              7. New working papers (provider interface).

1176 karl    1.5  
1177 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1178              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1179              
1180 karl    1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1181              of dynamic lib loaading.

1188 karl    1.1  
1189              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1190              qualifiers, methods.
1191              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1192              methods.
1193              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1194              qualifiers and to
1195              remove qualifiers.
1196              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1197              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1198 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1199              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1200              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1201              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1202              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
