Abstract
Method and devices for matching data between a manager and an agent in a management network
The invention relates to a method for operating a management network of a telecommunications network comprising a manager (NMC1, NMC2) and an agent (OMC1), in which the manager (NMC1, NMC2) and the agent (OMC1) communicate with each other using an object model. In accordance with the object model objects (MOII, MOIj, MOIk, MOIm) are assigned object classes (MOCI, MOCj, MOCk, MOCm) . The manager (NMC1, NMC2) sends a request (getConfigurationChanges Request) for data matching to the agent (OMC1). In accordance with the invention the manager (NMC1, NMC2) receives in repose to its request (getconfigurationchanges Request) information from the agent (OMC1) exclusively about objects (MOII, MOIj, MOIk, MOIm) and/or alarms in relation to which a change has occurred since a specific point in time (t0, t1, t6). Furthermore the invention relates to devices for executing the method.
