The system and method of this invention provides a system management facility which utilises an object oriented database to represent data across configurable domains. The utility of the system management facility of this invention is provided by its layered structure in combination with the object oriented paradigm. All of the system management data is viewed as objects, executable methods are written which are specific to the objects, high level commands invoke the methods, and a user interface invokes the high level commands. These layers, the user interface, the high levels commands, the methods, and the objects are loosely coupled to each other to allow each layer to be open and extendable to users. The use of an object oriented database with a layered architecture provides an integrated system management facility across separate and distinct configurable domains.
