Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the
issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that
Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the
Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this
information is supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’
and ‘Standards New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give
details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn
Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be
made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action
taken.

 Copyri ght STANDARDS AUSTRALIA/STANDARDS NEW ZEALAND

Users of Standards are reminded that copyri ght subsists in all Standards Austr alia and Standards New Zealand publications and
soft ware. Except where the Copyri ght Act allows and except where provided for below no publications or software produced by
Standards Australi a or Standards New Zealand may be reproduced, stored in a retr ieval system in any form or transmitt ed by any

appropri ate royalty payment. Australi an requests for permission and information on commercial soft ware royalt ies should be directed
to the head offi ce of Standards Austr alia. New Zealand requests should be directed to Standards New Zealand.
Up to 10 percent of the technical content pages of a Standard may be copied for use exclusively in-house by purchasers
of the Standard without payment of a royalt y or advice to Standards Australi a or Standards New Zealand.
Inclusion of copyri ght materi al in computer software programs is also permit ted without royalty payment provided such
programs are used exclusively in-house by the creators of the programs.
Care should be taken to ensure that materi al used is fr om the current edit ion of the Standard and that it is updated whenever the
Standard is amended or revised. The number and date of the Standard should therefore be clearly identif ied.
The use of material in pri nt form or in computer soft ware programs to be used commercially, with or wit hout payment, or in

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee IT/1 on
Information Systems—Interconnection. It is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO/IEC 10164-1:1993,
Information technology—Open Systems Interconnection—Systems Management: Object Management Function.

This Standard is issued as a Joint Standard under the terms of the Active Cooperation Agreement between
Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand.

The objective of this Standard is to provide users of OSI network management with a model that relates the
services and generic definitions provided by the object management function to user requirements.

This Standard is Part 1 of AS/NZS 4152, Information technology—Open Systems Interconnection—Systems

management, which is published in the following parts (additional parts are being prepared):

Part 1: Object management function

Part 2: State management function
Part 3: Attributes for representing relationships
Part 4: Alarm reporting function
Part 5: Event report management function
Part 6: Log control function
Part 7: Security alarm reporting function
Part 8: Security audit trail function

This Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are currently under
development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor difficulties encountered in their
implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be providing, through the OSI Help Desk, a service to
coordinate and disseminate information concerning difficulties which are identified in using this Standard.

Statements expressed in mandatory terms in notes to tables, figures or clauses and all appendices other than those
marked ‘informative’, are requirements of this Standard.

Users of this Standard are advised by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand, under arrangements made
with ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, that the number of this Standard is not
reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover and title pages.

For the purpose of this Standard, the source text should be modified as follows:

(a) Terminology The words ‘this Australian/New Zealand Standard’ should replace the words ‘this International
Standard’ wherever they appear.

(b) Decimal marker Substitute a full point for a comma where it appears as a decimal marker.

(c) References The references to international Standards should be replaced by references, where appropriate,
to the following Australian or Joint Australian/New Zealand Standards:

AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND STANDARD

Information technology—Open Systems Interconnection—

Systems management

Part 1:
Object management function

1 Scope
This Recommendation International Standard defines a systems management function which may be used by
an application process in a centralized or decentralized management environment to interact for the purposes of
systems management, as defined by CCITT Rec. X.700 ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation International
This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

Standard defines the object management function that consists of services, functional units, and generic
definitions. It is positioned in the application layer of CCITT Rec. X.200 ISO 7498 and is defined according
to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions are described by CCITT
Rec. X.701 ISO/IEC 10040.

This Recommendation International Standard

— establishes user requirements for the object management function;
— establishes a model that relates the services and generic definitions provided by this function to user
requirements;
— defines the services provided by the function;
— defines generic notification types and parameters documented in accordance with CCITT Rec. X.722
ISO/IEC 10165-4;
— specifies the protocol that is necessary in order to provide the services;
— defines the relationship between these services and management operations and notifications;
— specifies compliance requirements placed on other Standards that make use of these generic definitions;
— defines relationships with other systems management functions;
— specifies conformance requirements.

This Recommendation International Standard does not

— define the nature of any implementation intended to provide the object management function;
— specify the manner in which management is accomplished by the user of the object management
function;
— define the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the object management function;
— specify the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management
association;
— preclude the definition of further notification types;
— define managed objects.
