Telecommunication management; Configuration Management (CM); Name convention for Managed Objects
The present document is valid for TSs using IRPs and SBMA.
A more detailed background and introduction of the IRP concept is given in 3GPP TS 32.150 [16] and more detailed background for SBMA in 3GPP TS 28.533 [21].
To perform network management tasks, co-operating applications require identical interpretation of names assigned to network resources under management. Such names are required to be unambiguous as well. The present document recommends one name convention for network resources under management in the 3GPP context.
To facilitate integration of network management information obtained via multiple management interfaces based on different Solution Set technologies, identical network resource name semantics shall be conveyed in all management interfaces. The present document specifies one such name convention.
The present document also specifies an IOC/MOC name recommendation (see annex E) in order to avoid potential problems with valid characters in some programming languages.
In this document, the name convention and name recommendation (see annex E) are specified for MO instances whose MO class stereotype is IOC. These specifications are also for MO instances whose MO class stereotype is Support IOC (SupportIOC).
