Plans New Versions Platforms Working Together

Planned Major Enhancements Security WQL Indications Non-Blocking Multiple Provider modes Built in / DLL / Remote Discovery Interop Extensions CIMOM Manageability Connectors Architecture Services Extensions Provider Toolkit Better Clients Multiple Language Support Modules Async Interface

Security Status today Objectives No Security DMTF Level authentication SSL encryption ACLs internally

WQL State Today Objective Plans No ExecQuery Implementation Implement WQL Level 1 Plans CIM Operation May 2001 WQL – Summer 2001

Indications State Today Objective Nothing Today Implement in stages Listener, Indication Service Manager Stage 2 Provider extensions for indications

Provider Communications State Today Dynamic Library Providers Simple Interface Minimal Toolkit Objectives Multiple communication models Clarify Interface and move to Specification Create extensive toolkit

Interop Extensions State Today Objectives TBD Implement the changes being made by Interop work Group to provide CIMOM and Provider capabilities, registration, etc.

Non-Blocking Operations State Today All operations are blocked except for TCP receive Objectives Non-blocking operations on providers, services, repositories Problems Portablity of the model across systems Must include locks also (repository and provider)

Discovery State Today Objectives Nothing Use Well-known port (ASAP) Implement SLP as test Work with Interop to get SLP standardized

Services State Today Objective Service examples We are having problems defining the concept Objective Define services concepts Refine with initial services Service examples Indication Manager Indication Registration Manager Etc.

Clients State Today Objective Simple WEB based CGI Client Browser/Edit Graphic Client Demonstration clients for particular functions CLI client – Command Line Test Client Special demonstration clients. Scripting Client (ex. TCL)

Providers State Today Objectives Simple Interface Couple of basic providers Objectives Test Providers Provider Toolkit Working Providers to demonstrate concepts Scripting Provider

Connectors Concept Today Objectives Separate communications from core CIMOM Provide pluggable communications Provide language conversion Today We understand our concept No implementation Objectives Create connector definition Create CIM classes to represent connectors Implement several connectors Ex. Cim-xml, soap, toMOF, etc.

Async Interface State Today Objectives None Still trying to clarify requirements

Other areas for Discussion Working as a Project Open questions

Open Questions Today Licensing and the WBEMSource Creating a working test environment We feature many unit tests Will initiate Client/server tests when server becomes a daemon Need to add compiler test environment. Additional help
