A management interworking unit and a method for producing such a unit

摘要

In a process a management information unit (MI) is produced by creating models of the management interface to be interworked. Each model has objects representing managed resources. Domain knowledge, an interface and a processor create mappings between equivalent parts of the models. The models and mappings from an information conversion function (ICF) which communicates using an internal protocol with a pair of message communication functions. The message communication functions perform format conversions and communicate with the interworked interfaces.
