CSA Group Information Technology - Open Systems Interconnection - Systems Management: Management Knowledge Management Function (Adopted ISO/IEC 10164-16:1997, first edition, 1997-05-15)

Scope This Recommendation | International Standard defines the Management knowledge management function. The Management knowledge management function is a Systems Management function which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized management environment to interact for the purpose of systems management, as defined by the OS1 Management framework, CCITT Rec. X.700 and ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation International Standard defines a function which consists of generic definitions and services. This function is positioned in the application layer of the OS1 reference model, ITU-T Rec. X.200 1 ISO/IEC 7498-1, and is defined according to the model provided by ITU-T Rec. X.207 - ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions is described by CCITT Rec. X.701 I ISO/IEC 10040. This Recommendation | International Standard: identifies the set of requirements satisfied by the function; provides a model for the behavior of management knowledge objects; specifies the management requirements of the function and how these are managed objects and their behaviour or by specification of Directory objects; specifies the mapping of these services onto the CMIS services; specifies the abstract syntax of the MAPDUs that will be sued to refer to managed objects and their characteristics' objects and their characteristics. This Recommendation | International Standard does not: define the nature of any implementation intended to provide the Management knowledge management function; specify the manner in which management is to be accomplished by the user of the Management knowledge management function; define the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the Management knowledge management function; specify the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management association; define the interactions which result by the simultaneous use of several management functions; define connection establishment or authorization requirements for the use of these functions or for any associated activity; preclude the definition of further management knowledge object classes.
