Abstract :
Some of the techniques used in the development of a management information model (MIM) for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) management of systems network architecture (SNA) resources are examined. The identification of object classes, cataloging of attributes of SNA objects, actions taken on SNA objects, notifications from SNA objects, and SNA class definitions used in the modeling of SNA are discussed. Some problem areas of modeling SNA using a MIM are reviewed.<>
