1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an application server device comprising at least one processor, first adapter-processed information from a first adapter in accordance with a first communication protocol, wherein the first adapter-processed information comprises network performance data generated by a network element device and processed by the first adapter;
processing, by the application server device using a first application server instance of a plurality of application server instances executing on the application server device, the first adapter-processed information based on a performance management service to produce application-processed information;
sending, by the application server device, the application-processed information to a gateway device, wherein the gateway device is configured to transfer the application-processed information to a second adapter configured to process the application-processed information in accordance with a second communication protocol to yield second adapter-processed information and transfer the second adapter-processed information to an operation support system device; and
in response to determining that the first application server instance has become disabled, generating, by the application server device, an instruction configured to associate the first adapter with a second application server instance of the plurality of application server instances and to associate the gateway device with the second application server instance.

Abstract
A technique for communicating in a network management system is disclosed. The technique includes transferring information from an application server to a gateway that processes the information, transferring the gateway processed information from the gateway to a plurality of adapters associated with the gateway that process the gateway processed information, and transferring the adapter processed information from one of the adapters to a client.

6. A system, comprising:
-
an application server device comprising at least one processor and configured to execute a plurality of application server instances, wherein a first application server instance of the plurality of application server instances is configured to receive first adapter-processed information from a first adapter based on a first communication protocol, process the first adapter-processed information based on a performance management service to produce server-processed information, and send, via a gateway device, the server-processed information to a second adapter configured to process the server-processed information based on a second communication protocol to yield second adapter-processed information and transfer the second adapter-processed information to an operation support system device, wherein the first adapter-processed information comprises network performance information relating to a network element device and processed by the first adapter, and wherein the application server device is further configured to, in response to disablement of the first application server instance, establish an association between the first adapter and a second application server instance of the plurality of application server instances and between the gateway device and the second application server instance. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system to perform operations, comprising:
-
directing first adapter-processed information to a first application server instance of a plurality of application server instances, the first adapter-processed information comprising network performance information produced by a network element device and processed by a first adapter according to a first communication protocol; processing the first adapter-processed information using a performance management service executed by the first application server instance to generate application-processed information; sending the application-processed information to a gateway device configured to send the application-processed information to a second adapter configured to process the application-processed information according to a second communication protocol to yield second adapter-processed information and transfer the second adapter-processed information to an operation support system device; and generating an instruction configured to associate the first adapter with a second application server instance of the plurality of application server instances and to associate the gateway device with the second application server instance in response to determining that the first application server instance has become disabled. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 20)
