1 mike  1.3 

  2 mike  1.34     -	Need meta-client API.
  3            

  4 mike  1.33     -	Do we need strings to represent NULL and empty (what if the standard
  5            	adds something where a string parameter can be null distinguished from
  6            	an empty value).
  7            
  8                -	Expose repository inheritance tree.
  9            
 10                -   Look at not passing HTTP header to CIM request decoder queue.
 11            

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

 55 mike  1.31     -   Document that lex and yacc are no longer a requirement to build
 56            	Pegasus.
 57            

 58 mike  1.30     -	Figure out how to handle very large CIM respones and possibly
 59            	requests too.
 60            
 61                -   Integrate client/server tests into make system somehow.
 62            

 63 mike  1.29     -   Note that it is possible to remove an class and still have association
 64            	classes which refer to it.
 65            
 66                -   Class inheritance not taken into consideration when resolving the
 67            	AssocClass
 68            
 69                -   It seems that associatios() will fail when AssocClass is a super
 70            	class of the class which is in the association instance table.
 71            

 72 mike  1.28     -   Should there be a single associations table for the entire repository
 73            	or should there be one per namespace as there is now?
 74            

 75 mike  1.27     -   If it is the case that a reference may only refer to an instance,
 76            	then we must derive new types for representing object paths.
 77            
 78                -   Many CIM operations interfaces are incorrect: GetInstance() for example
 79            	takes a namespace and a CIMReference (which also may contain the 
 80            	namespace). According to the standard, it should take an "InstanceName".
 81            

 82 mike  1.26     -   Need way of signaling the cimserver so that it will reload the
 83            	class inheritance table (after a MOF compile).
 84                

 85 mike  1.25     -   Revisit use of namespace v.s. objectName in all CIM operations.
 86            
 87                -   What do we do when getInstance() is called and the nameSpace is
 88            	provided both as an argument and as part of the instance name?
 89            
 90                -   ReferenceNames should return classes not just instances?

 91 mike  1.22 

 92 mike  1.24     -   Remove final const from const methods in non-const CIM element classes.
 93            

 94 mike  1.22     -   Null vs. empty CIM/HTTP parameters.
 95            
 96                -   Resolve constness problems. (get rid or Const classes?)
 97            
 98                -	Change CIMReference to CIMObjectPath?
 99            
100                -	Finish associations.
101            
102                -	Provide CIMOM Context.

104                -	Complete conventions document.
105            

106 mike  1.23     -   The CIMServer.exe program should probably create the logs directory
107            	under PEGASUS_HOME.
108            

109 mike  1.22     -   Clean up exceptions.
110            

111 mike  1.21     -   Resolve redundancy in which the namespace is passed to certain methods
112            	(getClass) and the CIMReference itself may contain a namespace arguent.
113            

114 mike  1.20     -	Implement consistency and constraint checking on classes and instances.
115            
116                -   Implement filtering (using includeQualifiers, localOnly, etc.)
117            

118 mike  1.18     -	Consider eliminating const CIM element classes.
119            

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

121 mike  1.16 

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

123 mike  1.16

125            	"-l" option.

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

157 mike  1.10 

158 mike  1.17     -   Implement good observer module interface which allows different levels:

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

184 mike  1.1  

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

203 mike  1.1  

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

205 mike  1.1  

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

207 mike  1.1  	example:

210            

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

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