Multi-phase commit processing for creation and deletion of managed objects

摘要

Managed Object Instances (MOIs) in a network of OSI computing systems are created, or deleted, without disrupting their interaction with other managed object instances. This is accomplished by a multi-phase commit process operation where in the first phase, a create or delete request is verified, and the CMIP platform places the created or deleted MOI on a pending list in the CMIP platform, along with information identifying the location of the MOI in a hierarchy of MOIs. In the second phase, the object being created or deleted is asked to accept, or reject, the request. The object responds saying that it accepts or rejects the request. If the request is acceptable, the CMIP platform finishes the object's connection to the tree hierarchy, or disconnects the object from the tree. Then the CMIP platform sends back a message to the object to acknowledge the creation of the object, or to tell the object to delete itself. Finally, the CMIP platform sends a request completion message to the manager.
