ISO 10164:2002

Description

This Recommendation | International Standard defines the scheduling function. The scheduling function is a systems

management function which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized management

environment to exchange information and commands for the purpose of systems management, as defined by CCITT Rec.

X.700 | ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation | International Standard is positioned in the application layer of ITU-T

Rec. X.200 | ISO/IEC 7498-1 and is defined according to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems

management functions is described by CCITT Rec. X.701 | ISO/IEC 10040.

This Recommendation | International Standard:

? identifies a set of requirements satisfied by the function;

? provides a model for scheduling;

? specifies the management requirements of the function and how these are realized by specification of

managed objects and their behaviour;

? defines the conformance requirements to be met by implementations of this Recommendation |

International Standard;

? defines managed objects.

This Recommendation | International Standard does not define:

? the manner in which management is to be accomplished by the user of the scheduling function;

? the nature of any implementation intended to provide the scheduling function;

? the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the scheduling function;

? the interactions which result by the simultaneous use of several management functions;

? the occasions where the use of the scheduling function is appropriate;

? the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management association.
