Abstract
A system and method for supporting and managing telecommunications services in a telecommunications network includes a management information base builder toolkit (66, 110) for specifying object definitions in an object-oriented framework of a plurality of managed objects (112) that model resources (64) within the telecommunications network. The toolkit (66, 110) is used to construct a master management information base (70, 116) for storing the object definitions of the plurality of managed objects (112).
Claims39
A system for supporting and managing telecommunications services in a telecommunications network, comprising:
- a management information base builder toolkit for specifying object definitions in an object-oriented framework of a plurality of managed objects that model resources within the telecommunications network and business systems supporting and managing the network resources;
- and
- a master management information base storing the object definitions of the plurality of managed objects.
A method for supporting and managing telecommunications services in a telecommunications network, comprising:
- specifying object definitions in an object-oriented framework of a plurality of managed objects that model resources within the telecommunications network and business systems supporting and managing the network resources;
- storing the object definitions of the plurality of managed objects in a master management information base accessible to operation and support systems:and
- generating service management programs in response to accessing the stored object definitions, the service management programs operable to allow the operation and support systems to manage data associated with the modeled resources.
A system for supporting and managing telecommunications services in a telecommunications network, comprising:
- a master management information base storing object definitions in an object-oriented framework of a plurality of managed objects, the managed objects modeling resources within the telecommunications network;
- and
- a service management program toolkit in communication with the master management information base and operable to access the managed objects, the service management toolkit further operable to create a service management program operable to manage at least one of the telecommunications services.
A method for supporting and managing telecommunications services in a telecommunications network, comprising:
- generating object definitions, the object definitions modeling resources in the telecommunications network;
- storing the object definitions in an object-oriented framework;
- accessing certain of the object definitions that are associated with a particular telecommunications service;
- and
- creating a service management program in response to the accessed object definitions, the service management program operable to manage the particular telecommunications service.
