Method of integrating lower network management function in higher network management

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for integrating the function of a lower network management system in an upper network management system. The independent plug-ins which the functional modules on the client of the lower network management system are made into one by one are deployed on the client of the upper network management system so as to result in that the plug-ins are contained in the spaces which are each independent. Various plug-ins in the space are loaded into the Java process by adopting an independent class loader in each independent space and the function management interface for configuring the plug-ins is opened to carry out the management operation on the function management interface for plug-ins; the sent command calling request is forwarded to a lower network management server through an upper network management server after being processed. The invention can deliver the support for running the lower network management functioning parts of different versions on the upper network management system and implement the centralized operation and maintenance in the upper network management system, and the upper network management system can implement the function of the lower network management system without needing to increase the development workload.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a management method of network equipment, in particular to a method for integrating lower-level network management functions in upper-level network management. Background technique [0002] Telecommunications network management technology is a complex distributed system, and Java technology, especially J2EE, has also been widely used in telecommunications network management. In order to manage the devices of the whole network, the method of hierarchical management of the network management is generally adopted: the lower-level network management (OMM) directly manages the network elements, and completes the single-point management of the network elements; the upper-level network management (EMS) realizes the centralized management of each OMM, See attached figure 1 , one upper-level network management EMS manages three lower-level network management OMMs, so that the upper-level network management client can centrally view and...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] 1. If the functions on OMM are newly developed on EMS, the development workload is huge due to adapting to different types of OMM, and with the upgrade of OMM itself and the enhancement of functions, it is also necessary for the newly developed code on EMS to follow OMM Write and modify new code, resulting in too tight coupling between EMS and OMM versions

The main problem is that the development cycle is long, the maintenance cost is high, and it is far from being able to adapt to the rapid market launch required by operators.

[0010] 2. If the method of starting an independent client process for each OMM to be connected on the EMS client, each independent process needs to perform login, initialization and other processes, the startup speed is slow, and the user needs to operate in different processes Switching between interfaces greatly reduces user experience; moreover, the operation interface of each client process is independent, which is contrary to the fundamental goal of EMS, which is to carry out centralized operation, maintenance and management; The IP channel is specially controlled, and there can only be a dedicated channel between the upper and lower servers. However, the upper-level client machines often cannot directly communicate with the lower-level OMM network management server, so it is unacceptable in engineering deployment.
