METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SOFTWARE VERSION MANAGEMENT IN A NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for software version management, including a network management system (100), network manager (106), and at least one network element is described. The software version management process identifies a first managed object tree (600) having a plurality of managed objects to be upgraded. The managed object tree (600) is used to generated a second managed object tree. The second managed object tree is generated by transforming the topology of the first managed object tree. After the second managed object tree has been generated, the plurality of managed objects (602) are data transformed. Data transformation is accomplished by data transformation functions executed to upgrade the individual managed objects.
