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

 357 kumpf   1.91 
 358 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 359 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 360              
 361              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 362                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 363                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 364                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 365 karl    1.53        
 366              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 367              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 368              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 369              	which is the current file based repository.
 370              	
 371              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 372              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 373              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 374              	in the future.
 375 karl    1.52 
 376 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 377                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 378                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 379                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 380                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 381                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 382              
 383 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 384 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 385                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 386                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 387                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 388                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 389              
 390 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 391 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 392                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 393                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 394                 program.
 395              
 396 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 397                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 398                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 399                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 400                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 401                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 402                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 403                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 404                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 405              
 406                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 407                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 408                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 409              
 410                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 411                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 412                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 413                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 414              
 415                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 416                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 417 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 418                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 419              
 420                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 421                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 422              
 423                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

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

 537              
 538              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 539                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 540                  a provider library.
 541              
 542 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 543                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 544                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 545                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 546                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 547                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 548                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 549                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 550                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 551                  later). 
 552              
 553                  Also added are two test programs: 
 554              	
 555                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 556                      CIMParamValue class.
 557              	
 558                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 559                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 560                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 561                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 562                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 563 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 564              
 565              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 566                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 567                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 568                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 569                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 570                  and to verify the authentication.
 571              
 572                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 573                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 574                  yet linked into the build.
 575              
 576              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 577                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 578                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 579                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 580                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 581                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 582                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 583              
 584 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 585                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 586                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 587                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 588                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 589                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 590                  provider file path name.
 591              
 592              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 593                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 594                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 595                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 596                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 597                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 598                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 599                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 600              
 601              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 602                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 603                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 604                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 605 mike    1.51 
 606              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 607                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 608                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 609                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 610              
 611              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 612                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 613                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 614                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 615                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 616                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 617                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 618                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 619                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 620              
 621              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 622                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 623                  
 624              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 625              
 626 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 627                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 628                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 629                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 630                  in make files.
 631                 
 632              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 633                  because getting an error in 26
 634              
 635              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 636                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 637                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 638                  tag structure.
 639              
 640                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 641                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 642                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 643              
 644                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 645                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 646                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 647 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 648                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 649              
 650                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 651                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 652                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 653                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 654                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 655                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 656                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 657                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 658              
 659                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 660                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 661                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 662                  reference type.
 663              
 664                  In this example:
 665              
 666                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 667              
 668 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 669                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 670                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 671                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 672                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 673              
 674                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 675                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 676                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 677                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 678                  correctly.
 679              
 680                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 681                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 682              
 683                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 684                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 685                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 686                  CIMOM version.
 687              
 688                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 689 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 690                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 691                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 692                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 693                  definition to determine the key property types.
 694              
 695              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 696                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 697                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 698                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 699              
 700              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 701                  (instanceName).
 702              
 703              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 704                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 705                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 706                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 707              
 708              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 709                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 710 mike    1.51 
 711              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 712                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 713                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 714                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 715                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 716                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 717                  nsk platform links. 
 718              
 719              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 720                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 721                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 722                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 723                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 724                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 725                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 726              
 727                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 728                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 729                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 730                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 731 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 732                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 733                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 734              
 735              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 736                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 737                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 738                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 739              
 740              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 741                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 742                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 743                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 744                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 745              
 746              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 747                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 748                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 749                  be updated to use this class.
 750              
 751              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 752 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 753                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 754                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 755                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 756              
 757              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 758                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 759                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 760                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 761                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 762                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 763              
 764              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 765              
 766                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 767                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 768                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 769                        CIMNamedInstance
 770                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 771                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 772                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 773 mike    1.51 
 774                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 775              
 776                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 777                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 778                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 779                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 780                  functionality.
 781              
 782                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 783              
 784                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 785                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 786                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 787                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 788                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 789                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 790                        the entire instance.
 791              
 792                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 793                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 794 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 795              
 796                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 797                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 798                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 799              
 800                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 801                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 802              
 803              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 804                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 805                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 806                  the DMTF specification.
 807              
 808                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 809                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 810                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 811                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 812              
 813                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 814              
 815 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 816                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 817                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 818                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 819                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 820                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 821                        the entire instance.
 822              
 823                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 824                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 825                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 826                        be used to update the instance.
 827              
 828                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 829                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 830                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 831              
 832                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 833                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 834                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 835              
 836 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 837                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 838                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 839                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 840                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 841              
 842              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 843                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 844                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 845              
 846                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 847                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 848                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 849                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 850                  following command before starting cimserver:
 851              
 852                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 853              
 854                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 855                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 856                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 857 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 858                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 859                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 860                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 861              
 862              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 863                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 864                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 865              
 866              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 867                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 868                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 869                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 870                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 871              
 872                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 873                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 874                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 875                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 876                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 877                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 878 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 879              
 880              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 881                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 882              
 883                  Authentication and User Management:
 884                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 885                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 886                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 887                  generated password file. 
 888              
 889                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 890                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 891                  
 892                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 893                  management and authorization functionality.   
 894              
 895              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 896                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 897              
 898              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 899 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 900                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 901              
 902              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 903                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 904                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 905                
 906              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 907                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 908                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 909                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 910                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 911                  or change in provider registration.  
 912              
 913              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 914                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 915                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 916                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 917              
 918              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 919                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 920 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 921                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 922                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 923                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 924                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 925                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 926                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 927                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 928                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 929                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 930                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 931 mike    1.50 
 932 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 933                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 934              
 935              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

 942              1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
 943                 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
 944                 and ExportClient classes. the indication.
 945              
 946                 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
 947                 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.
 948              
 949                 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
 950                 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.

 980                 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
 981                 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
 982              
 983              7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
 984                 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
 985                 that
 986                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
 987                 password.
 988                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
 989                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
 990                 build.
 991                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
 992                 modified to integrate with the framework.

1045 karl    1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1046 karl    1.16 
1047              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1048              for NT and Linux platforms.
1049 mike    1.26 
1050 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1051              5988.
1052              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1053              the DMTF.
1054 mike    1.26 
1055 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1056              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1057              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1058              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1059 mike    1.26 
1060 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1061              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1062              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1063 mike    1.26 
1064 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1065              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1066              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1067              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1068              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1069              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1070 bob     1.20 (grb)
1071 mike    1.26 
1072 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1073              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1074              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1075 mike    1.26 
1076 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1077 mike    1.26 
1078 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1079              modifyClass,
1080 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1081 mike    1.26 
1082 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1083              directory. These
1084              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1085              CIMProviderStub has
1086 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1087 mike    1.26 
1088 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1089 mike    1.26 
1090 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1091              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1092 mike    1.26 
1093              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1094 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1095              
1096              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1097                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1098                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1099                  Need to handle deleteInstance().
1100                  (MEB)
1101 mike    1.26 
1102 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1103              
1104 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1105              AssociationName
1106 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1107              pages.
1108              
1109 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1110 sage    1.31 
1111              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1112              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1113              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1114              variables.
1115 mike    1.32 
1116              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1117                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1118                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1119 kumpf   1.34 
1120              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1121                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1122                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1123                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1124                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1125                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1126                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1127 karl    1.35 
1128              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1129                  tests for stack and queue.

1137              CIMServer (both)
1138 karl    1.11 Functions added include:
1139              	a. Enable trace to log file.
1140 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1141              	is
1142 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1143              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1144 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1145              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1146 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1147              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1148 karl    1.15 2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.

1161 mike    1.33 
1162 karl    1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1163              not
1164 karl    1.14 print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1165              and components of the message causing the problem.
1166 mike    1.33 
1167 karl    1.15 8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1179              2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1180              3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1181                 Handler.h to work off of flag.
1182              4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
1183              5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.

1194 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1195              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1196              
1197 karl    1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area

1206              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1207              qualifiers, methods.
1208              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1209              methods.
1210              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1211              qualifiers and to
1212              remove qualifiers.
1213              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1214              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1215 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1216              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1217              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1218              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1219              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
