   1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
   2 karl  1.59 
   3 karl  1.95 Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002
   4            TAG: Version_1_09.
   5            
   6            1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.
   7            
   8 kumpf 1.96 2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage
   9               class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a
  10               CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in
  11               a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried
  12               internally throughout the system.
  13            
  14               This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted
  15               to an error code and description to be written out in XML.  This
  16               single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the
  17               error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace
  18               errors that get returned to clients.  In particular, client applications
  19               currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,
  20               such as:
  21            
  22                   CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed
  23                   to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One
  24                   or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:
  25                   "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""
  26            
  27               The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant
  28               information to be eliminated from the messages.
  29 karl  1.97    
  30            3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime
  31               after roger fixed timevalue.
  32 kumpf 1.96 
  33 karl  1.95 ========================================================================
  34            
  35 karl  1.93 Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  36 karl  1.94 TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  37            of problems with the CVS repository
  38 karl  1.93 
  39 karl  1.95 1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  40 karl  1.93    Tagged CVS 1_08.
  41               
  42 karl  1.94 2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  43               qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
  44 karl  1.93 ========================================================================
  45 karl  1.59 
  46            Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  47            Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  48            TAG: VERSION_1_07
  49            
  50            1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  51            
  52 sage  1.60 2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  53 karl  1.59 
  54 kumpf 1.67 3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  55                class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  56                location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  57                The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  58                as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  59                Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  60                return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  61            
  62                For more information look in to the following files:
  63                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  64                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  65                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  66                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  67            
  68            4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  69 karl  1.62    This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  70               reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  71               also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  72               There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  73               the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  74 karl  1.63    
  75 kumpf 1.67 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
  76 karl  1.62 
  77 kumpf 1.67 6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
  78 karl  1.64    Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
  79            
  80 kumpf 1.67 7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
  81 kumpf 1.65 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
  82            method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
  83            configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
  84            modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
  85            
  86 kumpf 1.67 8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
  87 karl  1.66 schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
  88            will be deleted.
  89            
  90 kumpf 1.67 9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
  91            
  92            10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
  93 karl  1.66 
  94 kumpf 1.67 11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
  95                checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
  96                Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
  97                This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
  98                for remote clients.
  99 karl  1.66 
 100 kumpf 1.68 12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 101                method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 102                of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 103                allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 104                having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 105                the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 106                values.
 107            
 108                PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 109            
 110                Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 111                parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 112                regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 113                was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 114                parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 115                application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 116            
 117                However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 118                API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 119                processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 120                and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 121 kumpf 1.68     The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 122                XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 123                will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 124                specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 125                specified in the method definition.
 126            
 127                CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 128            
 129                Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 130                returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 131                attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 132                sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 133                String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 134                correct type rather than as a String.
 135            
 136                Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 137                PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 138                CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 139                String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 140                PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 141                values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 142 kumpf 1.68     because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 143            
 144                This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 145                Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 146                implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 147            
 148                SIDE EFFECTS:
 149            
 150                In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 151                that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 152                CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 153                parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 154                added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 155            
 156                I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 157                clean-up, which I completed.
 158            
 159                SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 160            
 161                A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 162                "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 163 kumpf 1.68     (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 164                relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 165                the specified value to that property's type.
 166            
 167                The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 168                inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 169                extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 170                ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 171            
 172                The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 173                information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 174                always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 175                against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 176                to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 177                a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 178            
 179 kumpf 1.69 13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 180                Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 181                class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 182                This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 183                and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 184                The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 185                encoding of parameter values.
 186            
 187                An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 188                behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 189                method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 190                InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 191                have defaulted to String type.
 192 karl  1.70     
 193            14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 194                Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 195 karl  1.72   
 196 kumpf 1.71 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 197                username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 198                method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 199                and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 200                the server.
 201 karl  1.72     
 202            16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 203                all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 204               
 205 kumpf 1.73 17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 206                to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 207                indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 208                operations.
 209            
 210                Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 211 karl  1.74     
 212            18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 213                definition of CIMFlavors.
 214 karl  1.76     
 215 kumpf 1.68 
 216 kumpf 1.75 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 217                eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 218                nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 219                each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 220                are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 221                level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 222                "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 223            
 224                The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 225                payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 226                HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 227                constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 228                remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 229                changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 230                would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 231                a single buffer.
 232            
 233                Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 234                formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 235                error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 236                various encoders and decoders, etc.
 237 kumpf 1.75 
 238            20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 239                CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 240                that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 241                with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 242            
 243                Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 244                CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 245                validated.
 246 karl  1.76 
 247            21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 248                qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 249                Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 250 karl  1.78     
 251 kumpf 1.77 22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 252                Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 253            
 254                    Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 255                    HTTPConnector* connector;
 256                    connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 257                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 258            
 259                    CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 260            
 261                With this change, the client application now looks like:
 262            
 263                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 264            
 265                    CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 266            
 267                The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 268                constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 269                connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 270                context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 271                connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 272 kumpf 1.77     without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 273                class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 274                rather than in the constructor.
 275            
 276                NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 277                change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 278                included in the Pegasus build.

 280 karl  1.78 23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 281                of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 282 kumpf 1.75 
 283 kumpf 1.79 24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 284                include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 285                However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 286                CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 287                for that purpose.   
 288            
 289                A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 290            
 291                - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 292                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 293                  as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 294                  trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 295                  line number of the CIMException originator.
 296            
 297                  Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 298            
 299                - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 300                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 301                  input and writes the String to the trace file.
 302            
 303                  (ex.)
 304 kumpf 1.79       You can issue the following method call:
 305                     Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 306            
 307                  or use the following new macro:
 308                     PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 309                
 310 ramnath 1.81 25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 311 ramnath 1.80 	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 312              	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 313              	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 314              	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 315              	operator to be "OR"ed.
 316 ramnath 1.81 
 317              26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 318              	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 319              	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 320              	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 321              	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 322              	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 323              	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 324              	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 325 ramnath 1.80 
 326 mary    1.82 27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 327              	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 328              	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 329              	in the Windows service work thread.
 330              
 331 karl    1.83 28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 332                      local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 333              	executable
 334                     
 335              29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 336                      executable. 
 337 kumpf   1.84 
 338              30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 339                  Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 340                  range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 341                  exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 342                  an integer of the specified size.
 343              
 344 kumpf   1.85 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 345                  in XmlReader.cpp.
 346              
 347 kumpf   1.86 32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 348                  Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 349                  releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 350                  the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 351              
 352 karl    1.88 33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 353                  with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 354 ramnath 1.87 	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 355 karl    1.88 	
 356              34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 357                  enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 358                  
 359 kumpf   1.89 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 360                  request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 361                  added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 362                  ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 363                  ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 364                  providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 365                  Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 366                  linked into the server.
 367 karl    1.88 
 368 kumpf   1.90 36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 369                  the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 370                  from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 371              
 372 kumpf   1.91 37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 373                  ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 374                  provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 375                  ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 376                  Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 377 karl    1.92     
 378              38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 379                  extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 380                  use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 381                  
 382 kumpf   1.91 
 383 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 384 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 385              
 386              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 387                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 388                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 389                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 390 karl    1.53        
 391              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 392              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 393              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 394              	which is the current file based repository.
 395              	
 396              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 397              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 398              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 399              	in the future.
 400 karl    1.52 
 401 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 402                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 403                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 404                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 405                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 406                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 407              
 408 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 409 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 410                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 411                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 412                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 413                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 414              
 415 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 416 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 417                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 418                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 419                 program.
 420              
 421 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 422                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 423                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 424                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 425                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 426                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 427                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 428                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 429                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 430              
 431                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 432                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 433                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 434              
 435                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 436                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 437                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 438                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 439              
 440                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 441                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 442 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 443                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 444              
 445                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 446                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 447              
 448                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 455 karl    1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 456              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 457              
 458 mike    1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 459                 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 460              
 461              2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 462 mike    1.51 =======
 463              1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 464              	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 465              	
 466              2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 467              	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 468              	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 469              	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 470              	should not affect any current work.
 471              3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 472              	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 473              	loads the 2.5 schema.
 474              	
 475              4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 476                      on XML output.
 477                      
 478              5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 479              in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 480              RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 481              declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 482              "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 483 mike    1.51 
 484              6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 485              dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 486              cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 487              and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 488              were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 489              provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 490              provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 491              to show user friendly error/status messages.
 492                      
 493              7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 494              (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 495              Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 496              generating debug output.
 497              
 498              8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 499              xml when it generates xml output.
 500              
 501              9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 502              a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 503              repository implementation.
 504 mike    1.51 
 505              10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 506              
 507              11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 508              
 509              12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 510              
 511              13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 512              
 513              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.
 514              
 515              15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 516                  CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 517              
 518              16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 519              
 520              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.
 521              
 522              18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 523              
 524              19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 525 mike    1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 526                  a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 527              
 528              20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 529                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 530                  input and output can be written in a trace file.
 531              
 532              21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 533                  Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 534                  deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 535              
 536              22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 537                  ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 538                  consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 539                  indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 540                  implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 541                  RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 542                  are modified to implement above messages. 
 543              
 544                  XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 545                  operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 546 mike    1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 547                  indication to consumer. This program needs
 548                  src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 549                  and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 550                  in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 551                  program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 552                  modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 553                  below:
 554              
 555                  //====================================================================
 556                  //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 557                  //====================================================================
 558                  [Description (
 559                    "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 560                    "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 561                    "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 562              
 563              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 564                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 565                  a provider library.
 566              
 567 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 568                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 569                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 570                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 571                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 572                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 573                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 574                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 575                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 576                  later). 
 577              
 578                  Also added are two test programs: 
 579              	
 580                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 581                      CIMParamValue class.
 582              	
 583                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 584                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 585                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 586                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 587                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 588 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 589              
 590              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 591                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 592                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 593                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 594                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 595                  and to verify the authentication.
 596              
 597                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 598                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 599                  yet linked into the build.
 600              
 601              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 602                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 603                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 604                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 605                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 606                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 607                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 608              
 609 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 610                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 611                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 612                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 613                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 614                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 615                  provider file path name.
 616              
 617              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 618                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 619                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 620                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 621                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 622                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 623                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 624                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 625              
 626              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 627                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 628                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 629                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 630 mike    1.51 
 631              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 632                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 633                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 634                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 635              
 636              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 637                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 638                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 639                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 640                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 641                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 642                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 643                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 644                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 645              
 646              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 647                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 648                  
 649              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 650              
 651 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 652                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 653                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 654                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 655                  in make files.
 656                 
 657              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 658                  because getting an error in 26
 659              
 660              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 661                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 662                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 663                  tag structure.
 664              
 665                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 666                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 667                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 668              
 669                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 670                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 671                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 672 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 673                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 674              
 675                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 676                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 677                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 678                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 679                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 680                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 681                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 682                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 683              
 684                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 685                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 686                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 687                  reference type.
 688              
 689                  In this example:
 690              
 691                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 692              
 693 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 694                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 695                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 696                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 697                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 698              
 699                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 700                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 701                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 702                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 703                  correctly.
 704              
 705                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 706                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 707              
 708                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 709                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 710                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 711                  CIMOM version.
 712              
 713                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 714 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 715                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 716                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 717                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 718                  definition to determine the key property types.
 719              
 720              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 721                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 722                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 723                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 724              
 725              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 726                  (instanceName).
 727              
 728              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 729                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 730                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 731                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 732              
 733              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 734                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 735 mike    1.51 
 736              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 737                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 738                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 739                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 740                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 741                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 742                  nsk platform links. 
 743              
 744              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 745                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 746                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 747                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 748                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 749                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 750                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 751              
 752                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 753                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 754                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 755                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 756 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 757                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 758                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 759              
 760              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 761                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 762                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 763                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 764              
 765              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 766                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 767                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 768                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 769                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 770              
 771              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 772                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 773                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 774                  be updated to use this class.
 775              
 776              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 777 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 778                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 779                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 780                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 781              
 782              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 783                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 784                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 785                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 786                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 787                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 788              
 789              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 790              
 791                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 792                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 793                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 794                        CIMNamedInstance
 795                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 796                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 797                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 798 mike    1.51 
 799                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 800              
 801                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 802                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 803                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 804                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 805                  functionality.
 806              
 807                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 808              
 809                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 810                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 811                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 812                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 813                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 814                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 815                        the entire instance.
 816              
 817                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 818                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 819 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 820              
 821                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 822                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 823                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 824              
 825                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 826                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 827              
 828              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 829                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 830                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 831                  the DMTF specification.
 832              
 833                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 834                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 835                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 836                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 837              
 838                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 839              
 840 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 841                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 842                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 843                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 844                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 845                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 846                        the entire instance.
 847              
 848                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 849                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 850                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 851                        be used to update the instance.
 852              
 853                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 854                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 855                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 856              
 857                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 858                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 859                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 860              
 861 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 862                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 863                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 864                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 865                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 866              
 867              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 868                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 869                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 870              
 871                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 872                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 873                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 874                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 875                  following command before starting cimserver:
 876              
 877                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 878              
 879                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 880                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 881                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 882 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 883                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 884                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 885                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 886              
 887              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 888                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 889                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 890              
 891              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 892                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 893                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 894                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 895                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 896              
 897                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 898                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 899                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 900                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 901                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 902                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 903 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 904              
 905              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 906                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 907              
 908                  Authentication and User Management:
 909                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 910                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 911                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 912                  generated password file. 
 913              
 914                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 915                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 916                  
 917                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 918                  management and authorization functionality.   
 919              
 920              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 921                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 922              
 923              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 924 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 925                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 926              
 927              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 928                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 929                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 930                
 931              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 932                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 933                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 934                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 935                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 936                  or change in provider registration.  
 937              
 938              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 939                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 940                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 941                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 942              
 943              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 944                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 945 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 946                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 947                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 948                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 949                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 950                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 951                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 952                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 953                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 954                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 955                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 956 mike    1.50 
 957 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 958                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 959              
 960              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1014                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1015                 build.
1016                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1017                 modified to integrate with the framework.

1070 karl    1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1071 karl    1.16 
1072              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1073              for NT and Linux platforms.
1074 mike    1.26 
1075 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1076              5988.
1077              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1078              the DMTF.
1079 mike    1.26 
1080 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1081              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1082              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1083              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1084 mike    1.26 
1085 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1086              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1087              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1088 mike    1.26 
1089 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1090              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1091              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1092              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1093              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1094              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1095 bob     1.20 (grb)
1096 mike    1.26 
1097 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1098              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1099              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1100 mike    1.26 
1101 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1102 mike    1.26 
1103 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1104              modifyClass,
1105 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1106 mike    1.26 
1107 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1108              directory. These
1109              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1110              CIMProviderStub has
1111 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1112 mike    1.26 
1113 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1114 mike    1.26 
1115 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1116              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1117 mike    1.26 
1118              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1119 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1120              
1121              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1122                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1123                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1124                  Need to handle deleteInstance().
1125                  (MEB)
1126 mike    1.26 
1127 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1128              
1129 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1130              AssociationName
1131 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1132              pages.
1133              
1134 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1135 sage    1.31 
1136              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1137              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1138              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1139              variables.
1140 mike    1.32 
1141              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1142                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1143                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1144 kumpf   1.34 
1145              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1146                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1147                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1148                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1149                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1150                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1151                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1152 karl    1.35 
1153              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1154                  tests for stack and queue.

1164              	a. Enable trace to log file.
1165 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1166              	is
1167 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1168              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1169 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1170              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1171 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1172              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

1186 mike    1.33 
1187 karl    1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1188              not

1204              2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1205              3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1206                 Handler.h to work off of flag.
1207              4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.

1219 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1220              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1221              
1222 karl    1.5  2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area

1231              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1232              qualifiers, methods.
1233              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1234              methods.
1235              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1236              qualifiers and to
1237              remove qualifiers.
1238              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1239              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1240 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1241              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1242              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1243              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1244              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
