  12            Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  13            Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  14            TAG: VERSION_1_07
  15            
  16            1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  17            
  18 sage  1.60 2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  19 karl  1.59 
  20 kumpf 1.67 3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  21                class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  22                location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  23                The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  24                as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  25                Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  26                return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  27            
  28                For more information look in to the following files:
  29                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  30                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  31                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  32                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  33            
  34            4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  35 karl  1.62    This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  36               reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  37               also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  38               There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  39               the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  40 karl  1.63    
  41 kumpf 1.67 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
  42 karl  1.62 
  43 kumpf 1.67 6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
  44 karl  1.64    Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
  45            
  46 kumpf 1.67 7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
  47 kumpf 1.65 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
  48            method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
  49            configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
  50            modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
  51            
  52 kumpf 1.67 8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
  53 karl  1.66 schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
  54            will be deleted.
  55            
  56 kumpf 1.67 9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
  57            
  58            10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
  59 karl  1.66 
  60 kumpf 1.67 11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
  61                checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
  62                Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
  63                This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
  64                for remote clients.
  65 karl  1.66 
  66 kumpf 1.68 12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
  67                method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
  68                of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
  69                allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
  70                having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
  71                the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
  72                values.
  73            
  74                PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
  75            
  76                Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
  77                parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
  78                regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
  79                was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
  80                parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
  81                application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
  82            
  83                However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
  84                API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
  85                processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
  86                and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
  87 kumpf 1.68     The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
  88                XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
  89                will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
  90                specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
  91                specified in the method definition.
  92            
  93                CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
  94            
  95                Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
  96                returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
  97                attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
  98                sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
  99                String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 100                correct type rather than as a String.
 101            
 102                Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 103                PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 104                CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 105                String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 106                PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 107                values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 108 kumpf 1.68     because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 109            
 110                This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 111                Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 112                implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 113            
 114                SIDE EFFECTS:
 115            
 116                In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 117                that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 118                CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 119                parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 120                added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 121            
 122                I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 123                clean-up, which I completed.
 124            
 125                SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 126            
 127                A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 128                "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 129 kumpf 1.68     (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 130                relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 131                the specified value to that property's type.
 132            
 133                The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 134                inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 135                extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 136                ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 137            
 138                The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 139                information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 140                always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 141                against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 142                to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 143                a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 144            
 145 kumpf 1.69 13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 146                Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 147                class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 148                This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 149                and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 150                The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 151                encoding of parameter values.
 152            
 153                An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 154                behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 155                method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 156                InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 157                have defaulted to String type.
 158 karl  1.70     
 159            14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 160                Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 161 karl  1.72   
 162 kumpf 1.71 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 163                username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 164                method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 165                and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 166                the server.
 167 karl  1.72     
 168            16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 169                all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 170               
 171 kumpf 1.73 17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 172                to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 173                indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 174                operations.
 175            
 176                Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 177 karl  1.74     
 178            18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 179                definition of CIMFlavors.
 180 karl  1.76     
 181 kumpf 1.68 
 182 kumpf 1.75 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 183                eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 184                nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 185                each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 186                are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 187                level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 188                "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 189            
 190                The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 191                payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 192                HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 193                constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 194                remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 195                changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 196                would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 197                a single buffer.
 198            
 199                Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 200                formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 201                error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 202                various encoders and decoders, etc.
 203 kumpf 1.75 
 204            20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 205                CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 206                that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 207                with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 208            
 209                Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 210                CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 211                validated.
 212 karl  1.76 
 213            21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 214                qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 215                Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 216 karl  1.78     
 217 kumpf 1.77 22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 218                Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 219            
 220                    Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 221                    HTTPConnector* connector;
 222                    connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 223                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 224            
 225                    CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 226            
 227                With this change, the client application now looks like:
 228            
 229                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 230            
 231                    CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 232            
 233                The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 234                constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 235                connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 236                context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 237                connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 238 kumpf 1.77     without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 239                class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 240                rather than in the constructor.
 241            
 242                NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 243                change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 244                included in the Pegasus build.
 245 kumpf 1.79 
 246 karl  1.78 23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 247                of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 248 kumpf 1.75 
 249 kumpf 1.79 24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 250                include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 251                However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 252                CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 253                for that purpose.   
 254            
 255                A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 256            
 257                - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 258                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 259                  as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 260                  trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 261                  line number of the CIMException originator.
 262            
 263                  Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 264            
 265                - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 266                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 267                  input and writes the String to the trace file.
 268            
 269                  (ex.)
 270 kumpf 1.79       You can issue the following method call:
 271                     Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 272            
 273                  or use the following new macro:
 274                     PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 275                
 276 ramnath 1.81 25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 277 ramnath 1.80 	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 278              	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 279              	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 280              	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 281              	operator to be "OR"ed.
 282 ramnath 1.81 
 283              26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 284              	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 285              	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 286              	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 287              	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 288              	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 289              	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 290              	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 291 ramnath 1.80 
 292 mary    1.82 27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 293              	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 294              	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 295              	in the Windows service work thread.
 296              
 297 karl    1.83 28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 298                      local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 299              	executable
 300                     
 301              29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 302                      executable. 
 303 kumpf   1.84 
 304              30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 305                  Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 306                  range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 307                  exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 308                  an integer of the specified size.
 309              
 310 kumpf   1.85 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 311                  in XmlReader.cpp.
 312              
 313 kumpf   1.86 32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 314                  Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 315                  releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 316                  the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 317              
 318 karl    1.88 33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 319                  with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 320 ramnath 1.87 	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 321 karl    1.88 	
 322              34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 323                  enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 324                  
 325 kumpf   1.89 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 326                  request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 327                  added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 328                  ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 329                  ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 330                  providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 331                  Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 332                  linked into the server.
 333 karl    1.88 
 334 kumpf   1.90 36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 335                  the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 336                  from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 337              
 338 kumpf   1.91 37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 339                  ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 340                  provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 341                  ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 342                  Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 343 karl    1.92     
 344              38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 345                  extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 346                  use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 347                  
 348 kumpf   1.91 
 349 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 350 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 351              
 352              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 353                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 354                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 355                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 356 karl    1.53        
 357              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 358              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 359              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 360              	which is the current file based repository.
 361              	
 362              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 363              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 364              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 365              	in the future.
 366 karl    1.52 
 367 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 368                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 369                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 370                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 371                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 372                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 373              
 374 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 375 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 376                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 377                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 378                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 379                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 380              
 381 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 382 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 383                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 384                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 385                 program.
 386              
 387 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 388                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 389                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 390                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 391                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 392                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 393                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 394                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 395                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 396              
 397                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 398                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 399                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 400              
 401                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 402                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 403                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 404                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 405              
 406                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 407                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 408 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 409                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 410              
 411                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 412                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 413              
 414                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 421 karl    1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 422              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 423              
 424 mike    1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 425                 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 426              
 427              2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 428 mike    1.51 =======
 429              1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 430              	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 431              	
 432              2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 433              	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 434              	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 435              	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 436              	should not affect any current work.
 437              3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 438              	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 439              	loads the 2.5 schema.
 440              	
 441              4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 442                      on XML output.
 443                      
 444              5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 445              in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 446              RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 447              declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 448              "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 449 mike    1.51 
 450              6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 451              dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 452              cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 453              and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 454              were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 455              provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 456              provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 457              to show user friendly error/status messages.
 458                      
 459              7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 460              (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 461              Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 462              generating debug output.
 463              
 464              8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 465              xml when it generates xml output.
 466              
 467              9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 468              a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 469              repository implementation.
 470 mike    1.51 
 471              10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 472              
 473              11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 474              
 475              12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 476              
 477              13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 478              
 479              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.
 480              
 481              15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 482                  CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 483              
 484              16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 485              
 486              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.
 487              
 488              18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 489              
 490              19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 491 mike    1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 492                  a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 493              
 494              20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 495                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 496                  input and output can be written in a trace file.
 497              
 498              21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 499                  Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 500                  deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 501              
 502              22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 503                  ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 504                  consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 505                  indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 506                  implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 507                  RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 508                  are modified to implement above messages. 
 509              
 510                  XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 511                  operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 512 mike    1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 513                  indication to consumer. This program needs
 514                  src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 515                  and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 516                  in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 517                  program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 518                  modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 519                  below:
 520

 528              
 529              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 530                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 531                  a provider library.
 532              
 533 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 534                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 535                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 536                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 537                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 538                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 539                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 540                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 541                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 542                  later). 
 543              
 544                  Also added are two test programs: 
 545              	
 546                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 547                      CIMParamValue class.
 548              	
 549                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 550                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 551                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 552                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 553                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 554 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 555              
 556              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 557                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 558                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 559                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 560                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 561                  and to verify the authentication.
 562              
 563                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 564                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 565                  yet linked into the build.
 566              
 567              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 568                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 569                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 570                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 571                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 572                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 573                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 574              
 575 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 576                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 577                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 578                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 579                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 580                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 581                  provider file path name.
 582              
 583              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 584                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 585                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 586                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 587                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 588                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 589                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 590                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 591              
 592              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 593                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 594                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 595                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 596 mike    1.51 
 597              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 598                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 599                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 600                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 601              
 602              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 603                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 604                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 605                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 606                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 607                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 608                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 609                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 610                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 611              
 612              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 613                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 614                  
 615              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 616              
 617 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 618                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 619                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 620                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 621                  in make files.
 622                 
 623              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 624                  because getting an error in 26
 625              
 626              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 627                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 628                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 629                  tag structure.
 630              
 631                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 632                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 633                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 634              
 635                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 636                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 637                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 638 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 639                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 640              
 641                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 642                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 643                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 644                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 645                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 646                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 647                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 648                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 649              
 650                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 651                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 652                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 653                  reference type.
 654              
 655                  In this example:
 656              
 657                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 658              
 659 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 660                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 661                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 662                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 663                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 664              
 665                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 666                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 667                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 668                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 669                  correctly.
 670              
 671                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 672                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 673              
 674                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 675                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 676                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 677                  CIMOM version.
 678              
 679                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 680 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 681                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 682                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 683                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 684                  definition to determine the key property types.
 685              
 686              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 687                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 688                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 689                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 690              
 691              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 692                  (instanceName).
 693              
 694              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 695                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 696                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 697                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 698              
 699              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 700                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 701 mike    1.51 
 702              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 703                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 704                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 705                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 706                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 707                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 708                  nsk platform links. 
 709              
 710              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 711                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 712                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 713                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 714                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 715                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 716                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 717              
 718                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 719                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 720                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 721                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 722 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 723                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 724                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 725              
 726              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 727                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 728                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 729                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 730              
 731              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 732                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 733                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 734                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 735                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 736              
 737              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 738                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 739                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 740                  be updated to use this class.
 741              
 742              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 743 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 744                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 745                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 746                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 747              
 748              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 749                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 750                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 751                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 752                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 753                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 754              
 755              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 756              
 757                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 758                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 759                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 760                        CIMNamedInstance
 761                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 762                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 763                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 764 mike    1.51 
 765                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 766              
 767                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 768                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 769                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 770                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 771                  functionality.
 772              
 773                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 774              
 775                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 776                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 777                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 778                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 779                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 780                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 781                        the entire instance.
 782              
 783                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 784                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 785 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 786              
 787                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 788                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 789                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 790              
 791                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 792                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 793              
 794              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 795                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 796                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 797                  the DMTF specification.
 798              
 799                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 800                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 801                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 802                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 803              
 804                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 805              
 806 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 807                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 808                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 809                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 810                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 811                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 812                        the entire instance.
 813              
 814                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 815                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 816                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 817                        be used to update the instance.
 818              
 819                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 820                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 821                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 822              
 823                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 824                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 825                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 826              
 827 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 828                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 829                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 830                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 831                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 832              
 833              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 834                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 835                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 836              
 837                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 838                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 839                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 840                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 841                  following command before starting cimserver:
 842              
 843                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 844              
 845                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 846                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 847                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 848 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 849                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 850                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 851                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 852              
 853              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 854                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 855                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 856              
 857              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 858                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 859                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 860                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 861                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 862              
 863                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 864                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 865                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 866                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 867                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 868                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 869 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 870              
 871              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 872                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 873              
 874                  Authentication and User Management:
 875                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 876                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 877                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 878                  generated password file. 
 879              
 880                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 881                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 882                  
 883                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 884                  management and authorization functionality.   
 885              
 886              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 887                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 888              
 889              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 890 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 891                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 892              
 893              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 894                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 895                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 896                
 897              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 898                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 899                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 900                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 901                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 902                  or change in provider registration.  
 903              
 904              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 905                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 906                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 907                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 908              
 909              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 910                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 911 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 912                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 913                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 914                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 915                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 916                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 917                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 918                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 919                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 920                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 921                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 922 mike    1.50 
 923 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 924                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 925              
 926              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 932              
 933              1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 934                 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 935                 and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 936              
 937                 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 938                 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 939              
 940                 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 941                 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
 942              
 943              2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
 944                 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
 945                 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
 946                 and SimpleThread.
 947              
 948              3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer
 949 mike    1.51    to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more
 950                 information on using wbemexec.  A simple test script is included.  Please

 958                 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
 959                 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
 960              
 961              5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
 962                 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
 963                 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

 966                 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
 967                 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
 968                 information on running the test script.
 969              
 970 mike    1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 971                 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 972                 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 973              
 974              7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 975                 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 976                 that
 977                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 978                 password.
 979                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 980                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 981                 build.
 982                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 983                 modified to integrate with the framework.

1014              
1015 mike    1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1016                 and Dispatcher.
1017              
1018 karl    1.48 7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1019              and
1020                 CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1021 chip    1.44    ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.
1022 mike    1.45 
1023              8. (Mike Brasher) - Replaced dispatcher with a queue-based dispatcher.

1036 karl    1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1037 karl    1.16 
1038              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1039              for NT and Linux platforms.
1040 mike    1.26 
1041 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1042              5988.
1043              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1044              the DMTF.
1045 mike    1.26 
1046 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1047              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1048              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1049              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1050 mike    1.26 
1051 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1052              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1053              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1054 mike    1.26 
1055 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1056              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1057              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1058              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1059              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1060              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1061 bob     1.20 (grb)
1062 mike    1.26 
1063 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1064              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1065              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1066 mike    1.26 
1067 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1068 mike    1.26 
1069 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1070              modifyClass,
1071 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1072 mike    1.26 
1073 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1074              directory. These
1075              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1076              CIMProviderStub has
1077 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1078 mike    1.26 
1079 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1080 mike    1.26 
1081 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1082              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1083 mike    1.26 
1084              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1085 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1086              
1087              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1088                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1089                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1090                  Need to handle deleteInstance().
1091                  (MEB)
1092 mike    1.26 
1093 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1094              
1095 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1096              AssociationName
1097 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1098              pages.
1099              
1100 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1101 sage    1.31 
1102              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1103              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1104              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1105              variables.
1106 mike    1.32 
1107              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1108                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1109                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1110 kumpf   1.34 
1111              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1112                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1113                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1114                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1115                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1116                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1117                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1118 karl    1.35 
1119              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1120                  tests for stack and queue.

1128              CIMServer (both)
1129 karl    1.11 Functions added include:
1130              	a. Enable trace to log file.
1131 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1132              	is
1133 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1134              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1135 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1136              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1137 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1138              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1139 karl    1.15 2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.

1152 mike    1.33 
1153 karl    1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1154              not
1155 karl    1.14 print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1156              and components of the message causing the problem.
1157 mike    1.33 
1158 karl    1.15 8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1169              1. Extend HP UX port to correctly load Dynamic Load Libraries.
1170              2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1171              3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1172                 Handler.h to work off of flag.
1173              4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
1174              5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.

1184 karl    1.5  
1185 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1186              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1187              
1188 karl    1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1189              of dynamic lib loaading.

1196 karl    1.1  
1197              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1198              qualifiers, methods.
1199              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1200              methods.
1201              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1202              qualifiers and to
1203              remove qualifiers.
1204              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1205              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1206 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1207              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1208              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1209              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1210              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
