   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 kumpf 1.98 4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 
  34            
  35 karl  1.95 ========================================================================
  36            
  37 karl  1.93 Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  38 karl  1.94 TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  39            of problems with the CVS repository
  40 karl  1.93 
  41 karl  1.95 1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  42 karl  1.93    Tagged CVS 1_08.
  43               
  44 karl  1.94 2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  45               qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
  46 karl  1.93 ========================================================================
  47 karl  1.59 
  48            Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  49            Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  50            TAG: VERSION_1_07
  51            
  52            1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  53            
  54 sage  1.60 2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  55 karl  1.59 
  56 kumpf 1.67 3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  57                class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  58                location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  59                The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  60                as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  61                Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  62                return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  63            
  64                For more information look in to the following files:
  65                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  66                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  67                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  68                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  69            
  70            4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  71 karl  1.62    This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  72               reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  73               also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  74               There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  75               the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  76 karl  1.63    
  77 kumpf 1.67 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
  78 karl  1.62 
  79 kumpf 1.67 6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
  80 karl  1.64    Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
  81            
  82 kumpf 1.67 7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
  83 kumpf 1.65 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
  84            method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
  85            configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
  86            modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
  87            
  88 kumpf 1.67 8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
  89 karl  1.66 schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
  90            will be deleted.
  91            
  92 kumpf 1.67 9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
  93            
  94            10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
  95 karl  1.66 
  96 kumpf 1.67 11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
  97                checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
  98                Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
  99                This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 100                for remote clients.
 101 karl  1.66 
 102 kumpf 1.68 12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 103                method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 104                of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 105                allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 106                having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 107                the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 108                values.
 109            
 110                PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 111            
 112                Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 113                parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 114                regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 115                was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 116                parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 117                application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 118            
 119                However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 120                API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 121                processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 122                and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 123 kumpf 1.68     The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 124                XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 125                will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 126                specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 127                specified in the method definition.
 128            
 129                CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 130            
 131                Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 132                returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 133                attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 134                sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 135                String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 136                correct type rather than as a String.
 137            
 138                Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 139                PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 140                CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 141                String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 142                PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 143                values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 144 kumpf 1.68     because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 145            
 146                This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 147                Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 148                implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 149            
 150                SIDE EFFECTS:
 151            
 152                In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 153                that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 154                CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 155                parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 156                added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 157            
 158                I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 159                clean-up, which I completed.
 160            
 161                SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 162            
 163                A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 164                "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 165 kumpf 1.68     (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 166                relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 167                the specified value to that property's type.
 168            
 169                The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 170                inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 171                extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 172                ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 173            
 174                The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 175                information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 176                always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 177                against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 178                to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 179                a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 180            
 181 kumpf 1.69 13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 182                Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 183                class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 184                This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 185                and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 186                The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 187                encoding of parameter values.
 188            
 189                An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 190                behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 191                method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 192                InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 193                have defaulted to String type.
 194 karl  1.70     
 195            14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 196                Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 197 karl  1.72   
 198 kumpf 1.71 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 199                username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 200                method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 201                and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 202                the server.
 203 karl  1.72     
 204            16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 205                all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 206               
 207 kumpf 1.73 17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 208                to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 209                indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 210                operations.
 211            
 212                Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 213 karl  1.74     
 214            18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 215                definition of CIMFlavors.
 216 karl  1.76     
 217 kumpf 1.68 
 218 kumpf 1.75 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 219                eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 220                nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 221                each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 222                are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 223                level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 224                "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 225            
 226                The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 227                payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 228                HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 229                constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 230                remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 231                changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 232                would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 233                a single buffer.
 234            
 235                Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 236                formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 237                error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 238                various encoders and decoders, etc.
 239 kumpf 1.75 
 240            20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 241                CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 242                that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 243                with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 244            
 245                Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 246                CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 247                validated.
 248 karl  1.76 
 249            21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 250                qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 251                Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 252 karl  1.78     
 253 kumpf 1.77 22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 254                Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 255            
 256                    Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 257                    HTTPConnector* connector;
 258                    connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 259                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 260            
 261                    CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 262            
 263                With this change, the client application now looks like:
 264            
 265                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 266            
 267                    CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 268            
 269                The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 270                constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 271                connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 272                context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 273                connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 274 kumpf 1.77     without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 275                class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 276                rather than in the constructor.
 277            
 278                NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 279                change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 280                included in the Pegasus build.
 281 kumpf 1.79 
 282 karl  1.78 23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 283                of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 284 kumpf 1.75 
 285 kumpf 1.79 24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 286                include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 287                However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 288                CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 289                for that purpose.   
 290            
 291                A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 292            
 293                - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 294                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 295                  as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 296                  trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 297                  line number of the CIMException originator.
 298            
 299                  Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 300            
 301                - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 302                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 303                  input and writes the String to the trace file.
 304            
 305                  (ex.)
 306 kumpf 1.79       You can issue the following method call:
 307                     Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 308            
 309                  or use the following new macro:
 310                     PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 311                
 312 ramnath 1.81 25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 313 ramnath 1.80 	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 314              	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 315              	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 316              	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 317              	operator to be "OR"ed.
 318 ramnath 1.81 
 319              26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 320              	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 321              	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 322              	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 323              	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 324              	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 325              	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 326              	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 327 ramnath 1.80 
 328 mary    1.82 27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 329              	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 330              	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 331              	in the Windows service work thread.
 332              
 333 karl    1.83 28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 334                      local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 335              	executable
 336                     
 337              29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 338                      executable. 
 339 kumpf   1.84 
 340              30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 341                  Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 342                  range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 343                  exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 344                  an integer of the specified size.
 345              
 346 kumpf   1.85 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 347                  in XmlReader.cpp.
 348              
 349 kumpf   1.86 32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 350                  Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 351                  releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 352                  the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 353              
 354 karl    1.88 33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 355                  with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 356 ramnath 1.87 	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 357 karl    1.88 	
 358              34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 359                  enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 360                  
 361 kumpf   1.89 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 362                  request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 363                  added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 364                  ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 365                  ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 366                  providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 367                  Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 368                  linked into the server.
 369 karl    1.88 
 370 kumpf   1.90 36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 371                  the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 372                  from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 373              
 374 kumpf   1.91 37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 375                  ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 376                  provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 377                  ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 378                  Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 379 karl    1.92     
 380              38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 381                  extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 382                  use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 383                  
 384 kumpf   1.91 
 385 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 386 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 387              
 388              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 389                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 390                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 391                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 392 karl    1.53        
 393              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 394              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 395              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 396              	which is the current file based repository.
 397              	
 398              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 399              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 400              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 401              	in the future.
 402 karl    1.52 
 403 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 404                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 405                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 406                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 407                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 408                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 409              
 410 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 411 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 412                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 413                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 414                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 415                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 416              
 417 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 418 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 419                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 420                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 421                 program.
 422              
 423 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 424                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 425                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 426                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 427                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 428                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 429                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 430                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 431                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 432              
 433                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 434                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 435                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 436              
 437                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 438                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 439                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 440                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 441              
 442                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 443                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 444 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 445                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 446              
 447                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 448                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 449              
 450                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 457 karl    1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 458              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 459              
 460 mike    1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 461                 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 462              
 463              2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 464 mike    1.51 =======
 465              1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 466              	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 467              	
 468              2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 469              	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 470              	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 471              	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 472              	should not affect any current work.
 473              3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 474              	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 475              	loads the 2.5 schema.
 476              	
 477              4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 478                      on XML output.
 479                      
 480              5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 481              in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 482              RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 483              declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 484              "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 485 mike    1.51 
 486              6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 487              dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 488              cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 489              and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 490              were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 491              provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 492              provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 493              to show user friendly error/status messages.
 494                      
 495              7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 496              (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 497              Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 498              generating debug output.
 499              
 500              8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 501              xml when it generates xml output.
 502              
 503              9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 504              a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 505              repository implementation.
 506 mike    1.51 
 507              10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 508              
 509              11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 510              
 511              12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 512              
 513              13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 514              
 515              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.
 516              
 517              15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 518                  CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 519              
 520              16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 521              
 522              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.
 523              
 524              18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 525              
 526              19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 527 mike    1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 528                  a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 529              
 530              20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 531                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 532                  input and output can be written in a trace file.
 533              
 534              21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 535                  Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 536                  deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 537              
 538              22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 539                  ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 540                  consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 541                  indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 542                  implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 543                  RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 544                  are modified to implement above messages. 
 545              
 546                  XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 547                  operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 548 mike    1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 549                  indication to consumer. This program needs
 550                  src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 551                  and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 552                  in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 553                  program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 554                  modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 555                  below:
 556              
 557                  //====================================================================
 558                  //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 559                  //====================================================================
 560                  [Description (
 561                    "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 562                    "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 563                    "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 564              
 565              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 566                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 567                  a provider library.
 568              
 569 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 570                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 571                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 572                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 573                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 574                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 575                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 576                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 577                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 578                  later). 
 579              
 580                  Also added are two test programs: 
 581              	
 582                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 583                      CIMParamValue class.
 584              	
 585                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 586                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 587                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 588                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 589                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 590 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 591              
 592              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 593                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 594                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 595                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 596                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 597                  and to verify the authentication.
 598              
 599                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 600                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 601                  yet linked into the build.
 602              
 603              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 604                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 605                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 606                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 607                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 608                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 609                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 610              
 611 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 612                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 613                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 614                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 615                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 616                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 617                  provider file path name.
 618              
 619              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 620                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 621                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 622                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 623                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 624                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 625                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 626                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 627              
 628              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 629                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 630                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 631                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 632 mike    1.51 
 633              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 634                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 635                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 636                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 637              
 638              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 639                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 640                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 641                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 642                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 643                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 644                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 645                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 646                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 647              
 648              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 649                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 650                  
 651              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 652              
 653 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 654                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 655                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 656                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 657                  in make files.
 658                 
 659              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 660                  because getting an error in 26
 661              
 662              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 663                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 664                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 665                  tag structure.
 666              
 667                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 668                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 669                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 670              
 671                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 672                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 673                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 674 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 675                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 676              
 677                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 678                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 679                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 680                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 681                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 682                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 683                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 684                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 685              
 686                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 687                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 688                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 689                  reference type.
 690              
 691                  In this example:
 692              
 693                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 694              
 695 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 696                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 697                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 698                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 699                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 700              
 701                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 702                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 703                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 704                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 705                  correctly.
 706              
 707                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 708                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 709              
 710                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 711                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 712                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 713                  CIMOM version.
 714              
 715                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 716 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 717                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 718                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 719                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 720                  definition to determine the key property types.
 721              
 722              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 723                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 724                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 725                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 726              
 727              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 728                  (instanceName).
 729              
 730              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 731                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 732                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 733                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 734              
 735              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 736                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 737 mike    1.51 
 738              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 739                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 740                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 741                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 742                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 743                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 744                  nsk platform links. 
 745              
 746              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 747                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 748                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 749                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 750                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 751                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 752                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 753              
 754                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 755                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 756                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 757                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 758 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 759                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 760                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 761              
 762              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 763                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 764                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 765                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 766              
 767              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 768                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 769                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 770                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 771                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 772              
 773              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 774                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 775                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 776                  be updated to use this class.
 777              
 778              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 779 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 780                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 781                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 782                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 783              
 784              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 785                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 786                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 787                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 788                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 789                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 790              
 791              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 792              
 793                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 794                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 795                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 796                        CIMNamedInstance
 797                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 798                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 799                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 800 mike    1.51 
 801                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 802              
 803                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 804                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 805                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 806                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 807                  functionality.
 808              
 809                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 810              
 811                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 812                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 813                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 814                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 815                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 816                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 817                        the entire instance.
 818              
 819                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 820                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 821 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 822              
 823                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 824                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 825                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 826              
 827                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 828                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 829              
 830              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 831                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 832                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 833                  the DMTF specification.
 834              
 835                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 836                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 837                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 838                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 839              
 840                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 841              
 842 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 843                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 844                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 845                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 846                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 847                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 848                        the entire instance.
 849              
 850                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 851                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 852                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 853                        be used to update the instance.
 854              
 855                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 856                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 857                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 858              
 859                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 860                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 861                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 862              
 863 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 864                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 865                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 866                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 867                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 868              
 869              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 870                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 871                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 872              
 873                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 874                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 875                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 876                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 877                  following command before starting cimserver:
 878              
 879                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 880              
 881                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 882                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 883                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 884 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 885                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 886                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 887                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 888              
 889              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 890                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 891                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 892              
 893              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 894                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 895                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 896                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 897                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 898              
 899                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 900                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 901                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 902                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 903                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 904                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 905 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 906              
 907              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 908                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 909              
 910                  Authentication and User Management:
 911                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 912                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 913                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 914                  generated password file. 
 915              
 916                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 917                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 918                  
 919                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 920                  management and authorization functionality.   
 921              
 922              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 923                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 924              
 925              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 926 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 927                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 928              
 929              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 930                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 931                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 932                
 933              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 934                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 935                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 936                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 937                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 938                  or change in provider registration.  
 939              
 940              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 941                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 942                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 943                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 944              
 945              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 946                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 947 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 948                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 949                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 950                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 951                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 952                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 953                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 954                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 955                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 956                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 957                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 958 mike    1.50 
 959 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 960                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 961              
 962              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.
 963 kumpf   1.61 
 964 mike    1.51 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 965              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch

1013                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1014                 password.
1015                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1016                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1017                 build.
1018                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1019                 modified to integrate with the framework.

1072 karl    1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1073 karl    1.16 
1074              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1075              for NT and Linux platforms.
1076 mike    1.26 
1077 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1078              5988.
1079              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1080              the DMTF.
1081 mike    1.26 
1082 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1083              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1084              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1085              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1086 mike    1.26 
1087 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1088              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1089              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1090 mike    1.26 
1091 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1092              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1093              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1094              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1095              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1096              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1097 bob     1.20 (grb)
1098 mike    1.26 
1099 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1100              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1101              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1102 mike    1.26 
1103 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1104 mike    1.26 
1105 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1106              modifyClass,
1107 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1108 mike    1.26 
1109 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1110              directory. These
1111              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1112              CIMProviderStub has
1113 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1114 mike    1.26 
1115 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1116 mike    1.26 
1117 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1118              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1119 mike    1.26 
1120              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1121 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1122              
1123              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1124                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1125                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1126                  Need to handle deleteInstance().
1127                  (MEB)
1128 mike    1.26 
1129 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1130              
1131 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1132              AssociationName
1133 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1134              pages.
1135              
1136 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1137 sage    1.31 
1138              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1139              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1140              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1141              variables.
1142 mike    1.32 
1143              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1144                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1145                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1146 kumpf   1.34 
1147              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1148                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1149                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1150                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1151                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1152                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1153                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1154 karl    1.35 
1155              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1156                  tests for stack and queue.

1164              CIMServer (both)
1165 karl    1.11 Functions added include:
1166              	a. Enable trace to log file.
1167 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1168              	is
1169 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1170              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1171 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1172              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1173 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1174              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

1188 mike    1.33 
1189 karl    1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1190              not
1191 karl    1.14 print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1192              and components of the message causing the problem.
1193 mike    1.33 
1194 karl    1.15 8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1206              2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
1207              3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
1208                 Handler.h to work off of flag.
1209              4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.

1221 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1222              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1223

1233              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1234              qualifiers, methods.
1235              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1236              methods.
1237              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1238              qualifiers and to
1239              remove qualifiers.
1240              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1241              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1242 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1243              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1244              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1245              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1246              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
