Background technology
The regulatory requirement in webmaster field, the series of standards that existing 3GPP organizes to set up at present, i.e. SA5 32 series.In these standards, integrated reference point (IRP to management interface function, Integrated Reference Point) there is perfect version management scheme, be embodied in 3GPP TS 32.312 standards, this standard has been stipulated three access interfaces of IRP, is: getIRPVersion (M), getOperationProfile (O), getNotificationProfile (O).By first access interface getIRPVersion (M), as the manager's (IRP manager) of integrated reference point user, can understand the current version number of this IRP, by second access interface getOperationProfile (O) and the 3rd access interface getNotificationProfile (O), IRP manager can understand on this version and supports which bookkeeping and informing function, from carrying out corresponding bookkeeping.Be that processing procedure comprises: 1) by getIRPVersion (M), obtain function IRP version number according to these three schematic diagrames that access interface manages as shown in Figure 1a; 2) by getOperationProfile (O) and according to the function IRP version number query function details that obtained; 3) by getNotificationProfile (O) and according to the function IRP version number inquiry notice details that obtained.
Yet along with the renewal upgrading of network, the expansion of network management scale, existing version management mechanism can not be met consumers' demand.Being mainly reflected in shortage effective means docking port contents version manages, because in the complex network environment of managed unit version more than, IRP Manager is when passing through interactive interfacing with managed unit agency (IRP Agent), in most cases, although interface function does not change, but the managed unit that needs compatible different editions in interactive interfacing content, this just needs a unified administrative mechanism can manage different interface contents version informations, and energy and interface function version combine.
Such as alarm information reporting interface, in alarm information, comprise which parameter, these standards relevant with interface function are all metastable, but the particular content of message parameter is as alarm code, processing suggestion waits with device upgrade and constantly variation of regulatory requirement, may on different network elements version, there is content difference in alarm code and relevant information thereof that manager pays close attention to, manager not only needs to understand and in current alarm message, has reported which field (this defines in interface function IRP, many and the few difference of parameter is by distinguishing on interface function version), more need to understand alarm information field contents implication, analyze and organize content version.
Performance management interface and for example, sending measuring task how, reporting measurement file how, these interactive interfacing mechanism are metastable, each distinct interface function IRP difference in version is also little, but the corresponding interface message content of this IRP: network element measures type and concrete counter is development and variation, and the mode that also neither one is unified at present can get by the integrated reference point (PM IRP) of performance management function the version of performance content object.
For another example configuration management interface, also the problem that has the NRM resource model version of corresponding interface content, although the management method of existing getNRMVersion, but this management interface imperfection, cannot understand the version number of the corresponding network resource management of concrete some configuration objects (NRM) system, also not have query interface can obtain by the version number of NRM system the detailed information of the configuration object that this NRM system version supports.
In sum, in there is the complex network environment of a plurality of managed unit versions, existing version management mechanism can not be met consumers' demand, be mainly reflected in shortage effective means different interface contents version informations is managed, in the urgent need to a unified administrative mechanism, can manage different interface contents version informations at present.

Below to the present invention's elaboration of giving an example.
Embodiment 1: as shown in Figure 1 b, the present embodiment comprises the following steps:
Interface contents version number is inquired about and obtained to step 101, administrative unit to managed unit.
Step 102, according to interface contents version number, interface contents version information is inquired about and obtained to administrative unit to managed unit.
Step 103, administrative unit are received the interactive interfacing message that comprises interface contents version information from managed unit, and analyze relatively with the interface contents version information that inquiry obtains.
Concrete, administrative unit is mainly undertaken alternately by following three class interfaces and managed unit:
One: administrative unit is obtained interface contents version number by first kind query interface (version number's query interface).Inquiry can adopt following mode:
Mode 1, to take the version number of function IRP be input parameter, inquiry and the associated contents version of this function IRP version, or define getContentVersion in the base class of IRP, total interface function IRP will realize which.
Mode 2, take contents version type as input parameter, all the elements version that under inquiry the type, managed unit is supported.
Mode 3, input parameter are empty, and all the elements version that managed unit is supported is obtained in inquiry.
Which mode 4, according to this contents version object of contents version Object Query, by contents version, supported.
Two, administrative unit is obtained the detailed content of interface contents version information, i.e. the detail information of interface contents version information by Equations of The Second Kind query interface (version details query interface).Inquiry can adopt following mode:
Mode 1, whole details of inquiring about this version number's corresponding content version information according to interface contents version number.
Three, managed unit contains the interface feedback content of contents version information to pipe unit feedback packet by the 3rd class interface (also can be described as contents version information feedback interface).
Here, interface feedback content can be following content:
1) managed unit is issued the notification message of administrative unit;
2) managed unit synchronously returns to the operation response of administrative unit;
3) file that managed unit generates.
Embodiment 2: as shown in Fig. 1 c, the present invention's one device example comprises: version information maintenance module, version information processing module and version information inquiry and analysis module.Wherein, version information maintenance module is positioned at managed unit side, is responsible for maintenance interface contents version information, and inquiry is provided; Version information processing module is positioned at managed unit side, is responsible for adding incoming interface contents version information in interface feedback content (can be specifically interactive interfacing message).Version information inquiry and analysis module are positioned at administrative unit side, are responsible for query interface contents version information, and the interface contents version information that the interface contents version information in interface feedback content and inquiry are obtained is analyzed relatively.
Embodiment 3: be illustrated in figure 2 the schematic diagram that interface contents version of the present invention is safeguarded an example, the maintenance of contents version information can be in the following way:
In version information maintenance module, comprise an interface contents version information storehouse, each interface contents version object when initialization to interface contents version information storehouse registration (register) self details, when this version is because of upgrading or other reasons, while no longer using in managed unit, interface contents version object is to interface contents version information storehouse cancellation (detach) self version number.After registration and unregistration has been moved, the change message of contents version can be externally sent in interface contents version information storehouse.Content version number and change action in change message.
Above-mentioned registration and unregistration action occurs in following state:
Situation one, new interface contents version object add managed unit;
Situation two, old interface contents version object exit managed unit;
Situation three, the upgrading of interface contents version have version increase newly and exit simultaneously.
Embodiment 4: interface contents version information model can adopt as the Field Definition of following table 1 (ContentVersion IOC).
Table 1
Embodiment 5: be illustrated in figure 3 the present invention by the schematic flow sheet of interface query interface contents version one example, the present embodiment comprises the following steps:
Step 201, first administrative unit is by existing standard interface, as the getIRPOutline interface of the getIRPVersion interface of function IRP or EPIRP sends request to managed unit.
Step 202, from request response, obtain the version number of current managed unit function IRP.
Step 203, by function IRP version number, inquire about associated contents version number, this incidence relation embodies in the affiliated interface IRP information of contents version information.
Step 204, from request response, obtain the contents version number of inquiry.
Step 205, by the contents version number of obtaining, inquire about the details of this contents version.
Step 206, from request response, obtain the details of this contents version of inquiry.
Embodiment 6: be illustrated in figure 4 the present invention and in interactive interfacing content, add the schematic flow sheet of incoming interface contents version one example, for concrete interface content object example, there is corresponding content version management to need, need to increase contents version and identify the contents version clearly indicating under example, with reference to several object lessons:
Example, once message, specifically to alarm information and alarm object, has comprised the version number of interface IRP in original field domain_name, thus in this field again expansion increase the version number of content object.New content version property in warning information object AlarmInformation (3GPP 32.311 5.3.1.2).
Example two: with regard to object, specifically to configuration object, unified resource model version number attribute: the Top (3GPP 32.622 6.1.3.8.2) that increases in top IOC.To configuration file, in file header, in FileVersion fileFormatVersion field, expansion increases contents version information.To configuration messages, the same with alarm information, in domain_name, expansion increases contents version information.
Example three: for file, specifically to performance data files, in fileFormatVersion field, expansion increases version information in file header.To capability message, the same with alarm information, in domain_name, expansion increases contents version information.At the upper contents version attribute that increases of performance measurement type object MeasuredAttribute (3GPP 32.4126.3.5).
In sum, in interface feedback content (being specially above-mentioned interactive interfacing message), increase contents version information, mainly contain three kinds of modes:
In the FileVersion field of mode one, interface spanned file, increase contents version information content;
In the message field field of mode two, interface message, increase contents version information content;
In mode three, interactive interfacing object properties, increase contents version information field.
The above, be only preferred embodiment of the present invention, is not intended to limit protection scope of the present invention.
