In a distributed data system serving a large geographical area and having several network management systems, each for managing system components in a portion of the geographical area, the system including a number of workstations at which administrative commands for configuring or monitoring the network may be entered, each network management system and each workstation hosting a number of software processes, a method is provided of routing messages to processes as a function of the process name and the portion of the geographical area in which it has effect. This method facilitates reconfiguring network management systems to take over the functions of a failed network management system in a manner transparent to operators and administrators at workstations. <IMAGE> |
