Method for operating network management system in a graphic user interface enviroment and network management system

A network management system (NMS) for performing a communication procedure requiring long-time interaction in a graphic user interface (GUI) environment, said NMS comprising:

• NMS GUI unit means for displaying, in real-time, data relating to progress of the communication procedure;
• and
• NMS communication unit means activated by said NMS GUI unit means for using a message queue of an inter-processor communication as an information channel for exchange of information with said NMS GUI unit means;
• wherein said NMS GUI unit means receives a command input from a user, determines whether the command input is a communication command, and, when the command input is the communication command, displays status data as to the progress of the communication procedure;
• wherein, when the command input is the communication command, said NMS GUI unit means operates as a parent processor, and said NMS communication unit means operates as a child processor subject to said parent processor;
• and
• wherein said parent processor determines an identification value of said child processor, generates a message queue for which the determined identification value of the child processor corresponds to an m-type of message queue, sends a communication start command to the child processor, displays a status of waiting for a user input, and displays a communication status.
