Abstract:
1. A network management system, comprising: a management system kernel that provides management systems with a run-time environment; a managed object generation environment separately operable from the management system kernel and that provides a development environment for managing applications, wherein the management system kernel dynamically adds or dynamically modifies managed object (MO) information based upon an external meta file (EMM) from the managed object generation environment without interrupting an operation of the network management system; and a dynamic library in the managed object generation environment that stores the MO information to be modified, wherein the EMM includes an address and name of the dynamic link library corresponding to the MO information to be modified, wherein the MO information is modified in the management system kernel according to said address, and wherein the MO information is transferred from the dynamic link library to a management object framework only when all executing threads have been executed.
