   2 karl  1.59 
   3 karl  1.93 Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
   4 karl  1.94 TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
   5            of problems with the CVS repository
   6 karl  1.93 
   7            1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Tok snapshot.
   8               Tagged CVS 1_08.
   9               
  10 karl  1.94 2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  11               qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
  12 karl  1.93 ========================================================================
  13 karl  1.59 
  14            Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  15            Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  16            TAG: VERSION_1_07
  17            
  18            1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  19            
  20 sage  1.60 2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  21 karl  1.59 
  22 kumpf 1.67 3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  23                class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  24                location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  25                The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  26                as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  27                Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  28                return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  29            
  30                For more information look in to the following files:
  31                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  32                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  33                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  34                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  35            
  36            4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  37 karl  1.62    This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  38               reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  39               also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  40               There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  41               the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  42 karl  1.63    
  43 kumpf 1.67 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
  44 karl  1.62 
  45 kumpf 1.67 6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
  46 karl  1.64    Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
  47            
  48 kumpf 1.67 7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
  49 kumpf 1.65 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
  50            method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
  51            configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
  52            modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
  53            
  54 kumpf 1.67 8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
  55 karl  1.66 schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
  56            will be deleted.
  57            
  58 kumpf 1.67 9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
  59            
  60            10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
  61 karl  1.66 
  62 kumpf 1.67 11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
  63                checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
  64                Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
  65                This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
  66                for remote clients.
  67 karl  1.66 
  68 kumpf 1.68 12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
  69                method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
  70                of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
  71                allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
  72                having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
  73                the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
  74                values.
  75            
  76                PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
  77            
  78                Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
  79                parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
  80                regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
  81                was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
  82                parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
  83                application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
  84            
  85                However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
  86                API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
  87                processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
  88                and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
  89 kumpf 1.68     The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
  90                XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
  91                will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
  92                specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
  93                specified in the method definition.
  94            
  95                CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
  96            
  97                Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
  98                returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
  99                attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 100                sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 101                String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 102                correct type rather than as a String.
 103            
 104                Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 105                PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 106                CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 107                String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 108                PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 109                values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 110 kumpf 1.68     because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 111            
 112                This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 113                Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 114                implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 115            
 116                SIDE EFFECTS:
 117            
 118                In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 119                that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 120                CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 121                parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 122                added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 123            
 124                I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 125                clean-up, which I completed.
 126            
 127                SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 128            
 129                A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 130                "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 131 kumpf 1.68     (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 132                relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 133                the specified value to that property's type.
 134            
 135                The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 136                inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 137                extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 138                ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 139            
 140                The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 141                information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 142                always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 143                against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 144                to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 145                a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 146            
 147 kumpf 1.69 13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 148                Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 149                class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 150                This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 151                and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 152                The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 153                encoding of parameter values.
 154            
 155                An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 156                behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 157                method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 158                InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 159                have defaulted to String type.
 160 karl  1.70     
 161            14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 162                Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 163 karl  1.72   
 164 kumpf 1.71 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 165                username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 166                method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 167                and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 168                the server.
 169 karl  1.72     
 170            16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 171                all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 172               
 173 kumpf 1.73 17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 174                to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 175                indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 176                operations.
 177            
 178                Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 179 karl  1.74     
 180            18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 181                definition of CIMFlavors.
 182 karl  1.76     
 183 kumpf 1.68 
 184 kumpf 1.75 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 185                eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 186                nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 187                each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 188                are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 189                level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 190                "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 191            
 192                The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 193                payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 194                HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 195                constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 196                remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 197                changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 198                would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 199                a single buffer.
 200            
 201                Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 202                formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 203                error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 204                various encoders and decoders, etc.
 205 kumpf 1.75 
 206            20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 207                CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 208                that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 209                with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 210            
 211                Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 212                CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 213                validated.
 214 karl  1.76 
 215            21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 216                qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 217                Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 218 karl  1.78     
 219 kumpf 1.77 22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 220                Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 221            
 222                    Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 223                    HTTPConnector* connector;
 224                    connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 225                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 226            
 227                    CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 228            
 229                With this change, the client application now looks like:
 230            
 231                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 232            
 233                    CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 234            
 235                The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 236                constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 237                connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 238                context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 239                connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 240 kumpf 1.77     without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 241                class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 242                rather than in the constructor.
 243            
 244                NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 245                change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 246                included in the Pegasus build.
 247 kumpf 1.79 
 248 karl  1.78 23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 249                of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 250 kumpf 1.75 
 251 kumpf 1.79 24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 252                include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 253                However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 254                CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 255                for that purpose.   
 256            
 257                A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 258            
 259                - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 260                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 261                  as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 262                  trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 263                  line number of the CIMException originator.
 264            
 265                  Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 266            
 267                - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 268                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 269                  input and writes the String to the trace file.
 270            
 271                  (ex.)
 272 kumpf 1.79       You can issue the following method call:
 273                     Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 274            
 275                  or use the following new macro:
 276                     PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 277                
 278 ramnath 1.81 25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 279 ramnath 1.80 	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 280              	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 281              	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 282              	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 283              	operator to be "OR"ed.
 284 ramnath 1.81 
 285              26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 286              	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 287              	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 288              	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 289              	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 290              	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 291              	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 292              	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 293 ramnath 1.80 
 294 mary    1.82 27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 295              	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 296              	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 297              	in the Windows service work thread.
 298              
 299 karl    1.83 28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 300                      local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 301              	executable
 302                     
 303              29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 304                      executable. 
 305 kumpf   1.84 
 306              30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 307                  Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 308                  range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 309                  exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 310                  an integer of the specified size.
 311              
 312 kumpf   1.85 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 313                  in XmlReader.cpp.
 314              
 315 kumpf   1.86 32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 316                  Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 317                  releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 318                  the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 319              
 320 karl    1.88 33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 321                  with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 322 ramnath 1.87 	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 323 karl    1.88 	
 324              34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 325                  enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 326                  
 327 kumpf   1.89 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 328                  request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 329                  added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 330                  ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 331                  ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 332                  providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 333                  Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 334                  linked into the server.
 335 karl    1.88 
 336 kumpf   1.90 36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 337                  the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 338                  from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 339              
 340 kumpf   1.91 37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 341                  ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 342                  provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 343                  ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 344                  Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 345 karl    1.92     
 346              38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 347                  extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 348                  use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 350 kumpf   1.91 
 351 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 352 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 353              
 354              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 355                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 356                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 357                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 358 karl    1.53        
 359              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 360              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 361              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 362              	which is the current file based repository.
 363              	
 364              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 365              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 366              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 367              	in the future.
 368 karl    1.52 
 369 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 370                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 371                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 372                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 373                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 374                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 375              
 376 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 377 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 378                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 379                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 380                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 381                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 382              
 383 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 384 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 385                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 386                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 387                 program.
 388              
 389 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 390                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 391                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 392                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 393                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 394                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 395                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 396                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 397                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 398              
 399                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 400                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 401                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 402              
 403                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 404                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 405                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 406                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 407              
 408                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 409                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 410 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 411                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 412              
 413                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 414                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 415              
 416                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

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

 530              
 531              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 532                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 533                  a provider library.
 534              
 535 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 536                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 537                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 538                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 539                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 540                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 541                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 542                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 543                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 544                  later). 
 545              
 546                  Also added are two test programs: 
 547              	
 548                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 549                      CIMParamValue class.
 550              	
 551                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 552                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 553                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 554                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 555                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 556 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 557              
 558              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 559                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 560                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 561                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 562                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 563                  and to verify the authentication.
 564              
 565                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 566                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 567                  yet linked into the build.
 568              
 569              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 570                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 571                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 572                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 573                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 574                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 575                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 576              
 577 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 578                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 579                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 580                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 581                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 582                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 583                  provider file path name.
 584              
 585              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 586                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 587                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 588                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 589                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 590                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 591                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 592                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 593              
 594              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 595                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 596                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 597                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 598 mike    1.51 
 599              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 600                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 601                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 602                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 603              
 604              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 605                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 606                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 607                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 608                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 609                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 610                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 611                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 612                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 613              
 614              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 615                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 616                  
 617              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 618              
 619 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 620                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 621                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 622                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 623                  in make files.
 624                 
 625              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 626                  because getting an error in 26
 627              
 628              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 629                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 630                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 631                  tag structure.
 632              
 633                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 634                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 635                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 636              
 637                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 638                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 639                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 640 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 641                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 642              
 643                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 644                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 645                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 646                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 647                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 648                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 649                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 650                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 651              
 652                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 653                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 654                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 655                  reference type.
 656              
 657                  In this example:
 658              
 659                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 660              
 661 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 662                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 663                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 664                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 665                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 666              
 667                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 668                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 669                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 670                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 671                  correctly.
 672              
 673                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 674                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 675              
 676                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 677                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 678                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 679                  CIMOM version.
 680              
 681                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 682 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 683                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 684                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 685                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 686                  definition to determine the key property types.
 687              
 688              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 689                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 690                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 691                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 692              
 693              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 694                  (instanceName).
 695              
 696              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 697                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 698                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 699                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 700              
 701              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 702                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 703 mike    1.51 
 704              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 705                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 706                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 707                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 708                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 709                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 710                  nsk platform links. 
 711              
 712              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 713                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 714                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 715                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 716                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 717                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 718                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 719              
 720                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 721                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 722                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 723                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 724 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 725                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 726                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 727              
 728              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 729                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 730                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 731                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 732              
 733              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 734                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 735                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 736                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 737                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 738              
 739              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 740                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 741                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 742                  be updated to use this class.
 743              
 744              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 745 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 746                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 747                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 748                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 749              
 750              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 751                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 752                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 753                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 754                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 755                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 756              
 757              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 758              
 759                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 760                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 761                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 762                        CIMNamedInstance
 763                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 764                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 765                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 766 mike    1.51 
 767                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 768              
 769                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 770                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 771                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 772                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 773                  functionality.
 774              
 775                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 776              
 777                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 778                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 779                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 780                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 781                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 782                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 783                        the entire instance.
 784              
 785                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 786                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 787 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 788              
 789                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 790                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 791                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 792              
 793                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 794                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 795              
 796              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 797                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 798                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 799                  the DMTF specification.
 800              
 801                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 802                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 803                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 804                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 805              
 806                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 807              
 808 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 809                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 810                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 811                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 812                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 813                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 814                        the entire instance.
 815              
 816                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 817                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 818                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 819                        be used to update the instance.
 820              
 821                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 822                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 823                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 824              
 825                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 826                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 827                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 828              
 829 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 830                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 831                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 832                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 833                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 834              
 835              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 836                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 837                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 838              
 839                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 840                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 841                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 842                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 843                  following command before starting cimserver:
 844              
 845                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 846              
 847                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 848                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 849                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 850 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 851                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 852                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 853                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 854              
 855              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 856                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 857                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 858              
 859              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 860                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 861                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 862                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 863                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 864              
 865                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 866                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 867                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 868                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 869                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 870                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 871 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 872              
 873              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 874                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 875              
 876                  Authentication and User Management:
 877                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 878                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 879                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 880                  generated password file. 
 881              
 882                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 883                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 884                  
 885                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 886                  management and authorization functionality.   
 887              
 888              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 889                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 890              
 891              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 892 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 893                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 894              
 895              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 896                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 897                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 898                
 899              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 900                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 901                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 902                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 903                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 904                  or change in provider registration.  
 905              
 906              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 907                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 908                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 909                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 910              
 911              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 912                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 913 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 914                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 915                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 916                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 917                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 918                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 919                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 920                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 921                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 922                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 923                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 924 mike    1.50 
 925 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 926                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 927              
 928              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.
 929 kumpf   1.61

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

 954                 the test script.
 955              
 956              4. (Sushma Fernandes - HP)  Implementation of Trace Framework.  Please
 957                 refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf
 958                 and

 960                 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
 961                 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.
 962              
 963              5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
 964                 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
 965                 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page
 966                 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on
 967                 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
 968                 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
 969                 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
 970                 information on running the test script.
 971              
 972 mike    1.51 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
 973                 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 974                 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 975              
 976              7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 977                 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 978                 that
 979                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 980                 password.
 981                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 982                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 983                 build.
 984                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 985                 modified to integrate with the framework.

1019              
1020 karl    1.48 7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1021              and
1022                 CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1023 chip    1.44    ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

1038 karl    1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1039 karl    1.16 
1040              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1041              for NT and Linux platforms.
1042 mike    1.26 
1043 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1044              5988.
1045              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1046              the DMTF.
1047 mike    1.26 
1048 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1049              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1050              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1051              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1052 mike    1.26 
1053 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1054              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1055              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1056 mike    1.26 
1057 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1058              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1059              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1060              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1061              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1062              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1063 bob     1.20 (grb)
1064 mike    1.26 
1065 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1066              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1067              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1068 mike    1.26 
1069 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1070 mike    1.26 
1071 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1072              modifyClass,
1073 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1074 mike    1.26 
1075 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1076              directory. These
1077              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1078              CIMProviderStub has
1079 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1080 mike    1.26 
1081 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1082 mike    1.26 
1083 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1084              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1085 mike    1.26 
1086              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1087 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1088              
1089              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1090                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1091                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1092                  Need to handle deleteInstance().
1093                  (MEB)
1094 mike    1.26 
1095 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1096              
1097 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1098              AssociationName
1099 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1100              pages.
1101              
1102 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1103 sage    1.31 
1104              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1105              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1106              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1107              variables.
1108 mike    1.32 
1109              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1110                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1111                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1112 kumpf   1.34 
1113              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1114                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1115                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1116                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1117                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1118                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1119                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1120 karl    1.35 
1121              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1122                  tests for stack and queue.

1130              CIMServer (both)
1131 karl    1.11 Functions added include:
1132              	a. Enable trace to log file.
1133 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1134              	is
1135 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1136              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1137 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1138              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1139 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1140              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1141 karl    1.15 2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.

1154 mike    1.33 
1155 karl    1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1156              not
1157 karl    1.14 print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1158              and components of the message causing the problem.
1159 mike    1.33 
1160 karl    1.15 8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1172              2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1173              3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1174                 Handler.h to work off of flag.
1175              4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
1176              5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.

1186 karl    1.5  
1187 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1188              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1189              
1190 karl    1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1191              of dynamic lib loaading.

1199              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1200              qualifiers, methods.
1201              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1202              methods.
1203              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1204              qualifiers and to
1205              remove qualifiers.
1206              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1207              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1208 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1209              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1210              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1211              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1212              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
