- Is SQL supported as a query language, assuming that the
management software includes its own database?
- CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) from the
Object Management Group (OMG)
- Application Programming Interface (API), in case the company or
agency needs to add its own extensions to the management system
(e.g. APIs for SNMP, XMP, DMI)
The considerations listed above are meant to be used as pointers in the
assessment of management systems. The requirements to be met by the
management system should be formulated in accordance with the local
conditions and on the basis of the current system situation (see S 2.168) and
the specified management strategy (see S 2.169); these can then be used as
K.O. criteria when taking the decision. The above criteria should always be
assigned a weighting to reflect local preferences.
It is not usually possible to fully reconcile the requirements that the
management system is expected to meet and the services provided by the
chosen management system. This means that after a specific product has been
selected it is necessary to adapt the existing management strategy to the
functional scope of the product.
