Abstract

There are provided an object-oriented exchange managing system and an exchange resource installing method. In the object-oriented exchange managing system, a user interface processor interfaces data with an operator, and an IPC conversion processor interfaces data with exchanges. A scoping function processor analyzes the resource installation request message received from the operator through the user interface processor and determines the scope of a class to be processed from a base class which module the requested resources. A filtering function processor processes attribute values in accordance with an operator-requested condition in the class. A resource installation processor generates an object instance representative of information about the corresponding resources and transmits the object instance to a corresponding exchange through the IPC conversion processor. An object data base management system stores the object instance received from the resource installation processor.

Claims

1. An object-oriented system for integrally managing a plurality of exchanges, comprising:

a user interface processor for interfacing data with an operator;

an IPC conversion processor for interfacing data with the exchanges;

a scoping function processor for analyzing a resource installation request message received from the operator via the user interface processor, and for determining a base class responsive to the resource installation request message;

a filtering function processor for processing attribute values which satisfy the determined base class;

a resource installation processor for generating an object instance representative of the attribute values responsive to the determined base class, and for transmitting the object instance to one of the exchanges via the IPC conversion processor; and

,

an object data base management system for storing the object instance received from the resource installation processor.

2. The system as defined in claim 1, further comprising a graphic user interface for inputting the resource installation request message by the operator.

3. An exchange resource installing method in an object-oriented exchange managing system, comprising the steps of:

receiving a resource installation request message from an operator;

determining whether a base class responsive to the resource installation request message exists by analyzing the received message;

determining the scope of a class to be processed from the base class if the base class exists;

determining whether attribute values of the base class corresponds to the resource installation request message transmitted by the operator;

generating an object instance representative of the attribute values of the base class if the attribute values corresponds to the resource installation request message, and storing the generated object instance in an object data base management system (ODBMS);

transmitting the stored object instance to a corresponding exchange to initiate a service responsive to the stored object instance; and

,

notifying the initiation of the service to the operator.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of transmitting a command error message to the operator in the absence of the base class.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of transmitting a command error message to the operator if the attribute values do not satisfy the requested condition.
