Software Product Description PRODUCT NAME: TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit V2.1 for Digital UNIX SPD 51.28.03 DESCRIPTION TeMIP for Digital UNIX[R] is a family of software products for the management of telecommunications and corporate networks, including fixed wire and mobile/cellular voice and data multi-vendor, multi- technology networks. TeMIP V3.1 provides comprehensive off-the-shelf fault and trouble mana- gement functions such as Alarm Handling, Event Logging and Trouble Ticketing for telecommunications network management. TeMIP supports the International Standards Organisation (ISO) management standards ISO 10164-x and ISO 10165-x, and the OMNIpoint 1 standards as defined by NMF and T1M1. TeMIP and its features are applicable in the context of the International Telephone Union-Telecommunication Standards (ITU-T) X.73x and Telecom Management Network (TMN) M.3010, M.3100 Recommendations. It gives network operators a global view of their networks, and enables them to activate management functions and operations from single or multiple workstations. TeMIP is built on top of the TeMIP Framework, which is an implementation of the Enterprise Management Architecture (EMA), and fully benefits from the object oriented and truly distributed software architecture. The TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit V2.1 is part of this program and provides the TeMIP platform with access to the Open Systems Interconnection environment in accordance with TMN recom- mendations. As such, the TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit extends TeMIP functionalities to all network elements and operation systems that support the OSI model as a means of information transfer. It also benefits from the Event Filtering and Correlation capabilities of TeMIP. Please refer to TeMIP Fault and Trouble Management Software Product Description (SPD 45.24.xx) and TeMIP Framework SPD (54.17.xx) for more information about Distribution and Event Filtering and Correlation related features. The TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit - GDMO Model Maker allows a user to create and generate, from an object model specified in a standard way, the TeMIP internal repository used during run-time operations. In this way, the translation of the information exchanged between the TeMIP environment and the OSI world is fully data driven. The TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit makes use of the Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) as recommended in TMN, through the X/Open Management Protocol (XMP) interface. Available on Digital UNIX ALPHA-AXP-based AlphaStations and AlphaServers, the TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit provides an easy way to integrate, within the TeMIP platform, OSI-CMIP based managed elements. GDMO Model Maker The ISO/IEC and ITU-T standard bodies have defined the Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects (GDMO) standard to help users in the definition of their management information model. The TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit-GDMO Model Maker (GDMO Browser and GDMO Translator) provides users with an easy way to create, validate and generate their management information models. GDMO Browser The GDMO Browser greatly simplifies the task of creating the primary data files for a management model that represents a potentially lengthy and complex editing phase. The GDMO Browser allows the user to access the many possible sources of reference and library data through a graphical interface, and to quickly include the appropriate data in the management model. The GDMO Browser is used both as a database management tool, and as a front-end to the GDMO Translator; for example, the GDMO Browser can be used to: Create and maintain sets of managed object definitions in ASCII files, based on GDMO templates and ASN.1 modules Create, define and test the complete Management Information Tree Perform database management on a library of managed object definitions View GDMO objects and ASN.1 datatype definitions in the library Shift between documents (library files) and definitions by means of a hypertext navigation facility Edit GDMO object and ASN.1 type definitions using the standard DECwindows editing functions Verify new or edited object definitions by directly invoking the GDMO Translator to perform a syntax check Directly create the appropriated information to customise the OSI/Q3 Access Module. The TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit-GDMO Browser User's Guide describes the overall possibilities of the product. GDMO Translator Within the TeMIP Framework, GDMO and ASN.1 notation is mapped into Management Specification Language (MSL) notation to perform entity management. This mapping is done using the GDMO Translator tool. The GDMO Translator carries out two distinct functions: Assistance in the modelling by validating the syntax and semantics of GDMO and ASN.1 specifications Translation of the validated specifications into the equivalent TeMIP Framework MSL specifications and OSI Dictionary File, used by the OSI/Q3 Access Module for translation purposes. The GDMO Translator input information is in the form of ASCII formatted files that contain one or any combination of the following items: GDMO templates, written according to the notation defined in ISO/IEC 10165-4 or ITU X.722 ASN.1 modules, containing the ASN.1 type and value definitions referenced in the GDMO templates, and written according to the notation defined in ISO/IEC 8824 or ITU X.208 Extensions to the GDMO templates and ASN.1 definitions used for: - Generating MSL constructs in those cases where no equivalent GDMO or ASN.1 constructs exist - Tailoring the GDMO Translator to provide specific MSL output (for example, to force specific MSL entity codes) - Defining a Management Information Tree. The GDMO Translator outputs are as follows: MSL Files used by the TeMIP Framework MSL Translator tool as part of the TeMIP Framework Dictionary building process MSL Translator Makefile to simplify the use of the MSL Translator tool OSI Dictionary File used by the OSI/Q3 Access Module to build its own internal dictionary Vector File used in the process of building a run- time OSI/Q3 Access Module. For a more detailed view of the GDMO Translator capabilities, refer to the TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit-GDMO Translator User’s Guide. OSI Access Module The TeMIP OSI Access Module component provides the TeMIP platform with access to the OSI environment. This adaptation is fully data driven and based on the object model defined using the GDMO Model Maker. This means that the user does not have to write any code to change the object model. The TeMIP OSI Access Module functions are the following: Translations Address resolution Multi-model management. The TeMIP OSI Access Module performs the translation between GDMO and MSL based on the OSI Dictionary file produced by the GDMO Model Maker. In terms of the management model, the following translations are done: GDMO/ASN.1 MSL Object Class Entity Class Attribute Attribute Action Directive Notification Event ASN.1 data type MSL data type Concerning the protocol, the following mapping is performed: TeMIP Framework CMIP Create = > Create Delete = > Delete Set, Add, Remove = > Set Show = > Get All others = > Action Response < = Result Exception < = Error Event Report < = Event Report ILV encoding <=> BER encoding Address resolution refers to the way in which the TeMIP OSI Access Module determines the address of an entity in the network and establishes communication with it. The address resolution task uses the information in the Address File. An association with the remote Agent is established when a directive has to be sent to the entity concerned. The TeMIP OSI Access Module supports up to 128 Agents. Because the TeMIP platform allows you to integrate several network elements into the same view, the TeMIP OSI Access Module offers a multiple model management capability. An object model, named by its OSI Dictionary file, can be attached to one or more Agents. This feature permits you to carry out version management of network elements. The TeMIP OSI Access Module offers a set of tools for its own management and activities. With such tools, the system administrator is able to: Trace information about activities within the TeMIP OSI Access Module and write that information to a Trace Log File Log errors, generated from different levels in an Error Log File Self-manage the TeMIP OSI Access Module by issuing directives that operate on it, and by collecting Event Reports generated by the TeMIP OSI Access Module itself. An example is the population of the address file with the related agents' information. The TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit-OSI Access Module User's Guide provides additional information. OSI Protocol Stack The OSI Protocol Stack, which is part of the TeMIP OSI Management Toolkit, implements Session (ISO/IEC 8327 or ITU-TS X.225), Presentation (ISO/IEC 8823 or ITU-TS X.226) and Application layers. Within the Application layer, Application Service Elements related to network management are present (ACSE: Association Control Service Element (ISO/IEC 8650 or ITU-TS X.227), ROSE: Remote Operation Service Element (ISO/IEC 9072-2 or ITU- TS X.229), CMISE: Common Management Information Service Element (ISO/IEC 9596-1)). The protocol stack runs over the DECnet Plus product through XTI (X/Open Transport Interface). The TeMIP OSI Access Module accesses the protocol stack through XMP (X/Open Management Protocol June 93).
