1 mike  1.3 

  2 mike  1.33     -	Do we need strings to represent NULL and empty (what if the standard
  3            	adds something where a string parameter can be null distinguished from
  4            	an empty value).
  5            
  6                -	Expose repository inheritance tree.
  7            
  8                -   Look at not passing HTTP header to CIM request decoder queue.
  9            

 10 mike  1.32     -	Propagate message key for all messages pertaining to a particular 
 11            	request.
 12            
 13                -	Run Purify on all sources (port to Sun first).
 14            
 15                -	Rework Pegasus to use asynchronous I/O.
 16            
 17                -	Finalize export client/server:
 18            
 19            	    -	Covert GetClass operation to DeliverIndication operation.
 20            
 21            	    -   Rework export-client to asynchronously process responses 
 22            		(instead of the RPC style used now).
 23            
 24            	    -	Need meta-export-client (with connection management).
 25            
 26            	    -	Implement disconnect() logic.
 27            
 28                -	Remove keys from messages?
 29            
 30                -   Get rid of unused source code (dealing with channels and TCP).
 31 mike  1.32 
 32                -   Rethink the useage of queue-ids in messages and how requests and
 33            	responses are matched up. Queue-ids are only used on the server
 34            	side. Perhaps a more general mechanism can be found.
 35            
 36                -   Fix bug in which the messageId is calculated inside the XmlWriter.
 37            	It should be calculated by the caller.
 38            
 39                -	Delete CIMOperations.h.
 40            
 41                -	Get rid of message keys? They don't seem to be used.
 42            
 43                -	Fix bug in src/Pegasus/Client/tests/Client in which associators()
 44            	fails and says class does not exist (seems to happen in debug mode
 45            	only). Disappears when I/O is enabled.
 46            
 47                -	Replace old headers with new ones (co-ordinate with team).
 48            
 49                -	Get rid of usage of System (use since it
 50            
 51                -	Migrate to use of Linkage.h files.
 52 mike  1.32 

 53 mike  1.31     -   Document that lex and yacc are no longer a requirement to build
 54            	Pegasus.
 55            

 56 mike  1.30     -	Figure out how to handle very large CIM respones and possibly
 57            	requests too.
 58            
 59                -   Integrate client/server tests into make system somehow.
 60            

 61 mike  1.29     -   Note that it is possible to remove an class and still have association
 62            	classes which refer to it.
 63            
 64                -   Class inheritance not taken into consideration when resolving the
 65            	AssocClass
 66            
 67                -   It seems that associatios() will fail when AssocClass is a super
 68            	class of the class which is in the association instance table.
 69            

 70 mike  1.28     -   Should there be a single associations table for the entire repository
 71            	or should there be one per namespace as there is now?
 72            

 73 mike  1.27     -   If it is the case that a reference may only refer to an instance,
 74            	then we must derive new types for representing object paths.
 75            
 76                -   Many CIM operations interfaces are incorrect: GetInstance() for example
 77            	takes a namespace and a CIMReference (which also may contain the 
 78            	namespace). According to the standard, it should take an "InstanceName".
 79            

 80 mike  1.26     -   Need way of signaling the cimserver so that it will reload the
 81            	class inheritance table (after a MOF compile).
 82                

 83 mike  1.25     -   Revisit use of namespace v.s. objectName in all CIM operations.
 84            
 85                -   What do we do when getInstance() is called and the nameSpace is
 86            	provided both as an argument and as part of the instance name?
 87            
 88                -   ReferenceNames should return classes not just instances?

 89 mike  1.22 

 90 mike  1.24     -   Remove final const from const methods in non-const CIM element classes.
 91            

 92 mike  1.22     -   Null vs. empty CIM/HTTP parameters.
 93            
 94                -   Resolve constness problems. (get rid or Const classes?)
 95            
 96                -	Change CIMReference to CIMObjectPath?
 97            
 98                -	Finish associations.
 99            
100                -	Provide CIMOM Context.

102                -	Complete conventions document.
103            

104 mike  1.23     -   The CIMServer.exe program should probably create the logs directory
105            	under PEGASUS_HOME.
106            

107 mike  1.22     -   Clean up exceptions.
108            

109 mike  1.21     -   Resolve redundancy in which the namespace is passed to certain methods
110            	(getClass) and the CIMReference itself may contain a namespace arguent.
111            

112 mike  1.20     -	Implement consistency and constraint checking on classes and instances.
113            
114                -   Implement filtering (using includeQualifiers, localOnly, etc.)
115            

116 mike  1.18     -	Consider eliminating const CIM element classes.
117            

118 mike  1.17     -   Support for NULL property lists (in interface and protocol).

119 mike  1.16 

120 mike  1.17     -   Rename tests (prepend "Test" to each test).

121 mike  1.16

123            	"-l" option.

139 mike  1.17     -   Combine repository instances, classes, and qualifiers  into their
140            	respective files (to reduce the number of files).

141 mike  1.8

165 mike  1.1  

166 mike  1.17 	-   Observation of CIMOM state transitions.

167 mike  1.1

181 mike  1.17     - 	Change HTTP message id's to this format: "YYYY.MM.DD.HH.MM.SS.NNNNN".

182 mike  1.1  

183 mike  1.17     - 	GetInstances() and GetClasses() need to use iterators on
184            	provider and repository end. Otherwise, all classes or instance

201 mike  1.1  

202 mike  1.17     -	Ignore extraneous XML elements (implement "loose validation" concept).

203 mike  1.1  

204 mike  1.5      -	Add methods to get objects by their names, in addition to index. For

205 mike  1.1  	example:

208            

209 mike  1.5      -	Distinguish between private and public classes (otherwise, users may

210 mike  1.1  	come to depend on classes with unstable interfaces).
