Description

Atomic object management method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for managing an atomic object.

Background

A network configuration protocol (NETCONF) is a network management protocol based on extensible markup language (XML). In recent years, yang (yet antenna Next generation) data modeling language (data modeling language) is used as a standard NETCONF data modeling language by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The method can be used for establishing a model (model configuration data) of configuration data and a model of various operations and notifications, and has good readability and expandability. Currently, the YANG language can data model the content, operational, and message layers of the NETCONF protocol.

However, the current operation and maintenance system directly interfaces with different network element equipment vendors through the YANG interface to manage the atomic objects in the network element equipment. Different network element equipment vendors have different YANG interface docking modes, so that the operation and maintenance system is more complex in managing the atomic objects in the network element equipment.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a management method and a management device for atomic objects, which realize a standardized management mode for the atomic objects and simplify the complexity of managing the atomic objects.

In a first aspect, a management method of an atomic object is provided, where a first device sends, to an operation and maintenance system, a mapping relationship between a first scenarized object of the first device and a plurality of first atomic objects in the first device. Furthermore, the first device may receive a first message sent by the operation and maintenance system calling a first interface, where the first message is used to request to perform a first operation on the first scenized object. The first device may then perform the first operation on the plurality of first atomic objects mapped to the first scenarized object.

The first equipment is in butt joint with the operation and maintenance system through a standardized first interface. The first device firstly informs the operation and maintenance system of the mapping relationship between the self scene object and the plurality of atomic objects, so that the operation and maintenance system can manage the plurality of atomic objects in batch according to the scene object through the first interface when the operation and maintenance system manages the plurality of atomic objects in the first device. The complexity of the operation and maintenance system for managing the atomic object in the first device can be simplified.

In a possible implementation, the first device receives a second message from the operation and maintenance system, where the second message is used to obtain a mapping relationship between the first scenarized object in the first device and the plurality of first atomic objects.

In one possible implementation, the mapping of the first scenarized object to the plurality of first atomic objects is identified by a yang model tag. For example, the yang model tags include: a label of a first scenized object; a label of a mapping relationship of the first scenarized object to the plurality of first atomic objects; the label of the first scenized object is used for identifying the first scenized object as the scenized object; the mapping relationship labels of the first scenarized objects with the plurality of first atomic objects are used to identify mapping relationships of the first scenarized objects with the plurality of first atomic objects. The mapping relation of the scenized object and the atomic objects is expressed through a standard yang model, so that the mapping relation is modeled, standardized and automated. It is more convenient to manage the data model and to facilitate the understanding and interfacing of external systems/tools.

In one possible implementation, the yang model label further comprises: a property tag of a first scenarized object, the property tag of the first scenarized object to identify a property of the first scenarized object. The characteristic of the first scenized object can enable a user logging in the operation and maintenance system to have a deeper understanding of the first scenized object, so that the first scenized object can be managed accurately.

In one possible implementation, the first device may determine that an update to the extent of the first atomic object to which the first scenized object is mapped is required. Further, the first device may send, to the operation and maintenance system, the updated mapping relationship between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device. The device and the operation and maintenance system can update the range of the atomic object mapped by the scene object, can better meet the requirements of services, and can improve the reliability and accuracy of the atomic object management through the scene object.

In one possible implementation, when determining that the range of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenarized object needs to be updated, the first device may receive a third message from the operation and maintenance system, where the third message is used to indicate the range of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenarized object that requests updating; alternatively, the first device may determine that a user logged into the first device requests an update of the scope of the first atomic object to which the first scenized object is mapped. The first device may update the range of the atomic object mapped by the scenarized object according to its business requirement or a request of the operation and maintenance system.

In one possible implementation, the first operation is any one of: adding operation, modifying operation, deleting operation and inquiring operation.

In one possible implementation, the first message and/or the second message and/or the third message is a Netconf message.

In a second aspect, a method for managing atomic objects is provided, where first, an operation and maintenance system receives a mapping relationship between a first scenized object from a first device and a plurality of first atomic objects in the first device.

And then, the operation and maintenance system calls a first interface according to the mapping relation between the first scene object and the plurality of first atomic objects, and sends a first message to the first device, wherein the first message is used for requesting to execute a first operation on the first scene object.

In one possible implementation, the first interface is configured to send, by the operation and maintenance system, a message requesting to perform an operation on the respective scenized object to a plurality of different devices, respectively. The operation and maintenance system is in butt joint with the first equipment and other equipment through the first interface, and manages the atomic objects in the different equipment through the first interface. Therefore, the operation and maintenance system is decoupled with the interiors of a plurality of different devices, and the complexity of the operation and maintenance system in managing the atomic objects in the different devices can be simplified.

In a possible implementation, the operation and maintenance system sends a second message to the first device, where the second message is used to obtain a mapping relationship between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device.

In one possible implementation, the mapping of the first scenarized object to the plurality of first atomic objects is identified by a yang model tag. For example, the yang model tags include: a label of a first scenized object; a label of a mapping relationship of the first scenarized object to the plurality of first atomic objects; the label of the first scenized object is used for identifying the first scenized object as a scenized object; the mapping relationship labels of the first scenarized objects with the plurality of first atomic objects are used to identify mapping relationships of the first scenarized objects with the plurality of first atomic objects. The mapping relation of the scenized object and the atomic objects is expressed through a standard yang model, so that the mapping relation is modeled, standardized and automated. It is more convenient to manage the data model and to facilitate the understanding and interfacing of external systems/tools.

In one possible implementation, the yang model label further comprises: a property tag of a first scenarized object for identifying a property of the first scene object. The characteristic of the first scenized object can enable a user logging in the operation and maintenance system to have a deeper understanding of the first scenized object, so that the first scenized object can be managed accurately.

In one possible implementation, the operation and maintenance system receives, from the first device, updated mapping relationships of the first scenarized object to a plurality of first atomic objects in the first device. Further, the operation and maintenance system updates the plurality of first atomic objects mapped by the first scenarized object. The device and the operation and maintenance system can update the range of the atomic object mapped by the scene object, can better meet the requirements of services, and can improve the reliability and accuracy of the atomic object management through the scene object.

In one possible implementation, the operation and maintenance system determines that an update to the extent of the first atomic object to which the first scenized object is mapped is required. Further, the operation and maintenance system may send a third message to the first device, where the third message is used to indicate a range of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenized object that is requested to be updated.

In a possible implementation, when determining that the scope of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenarized object needs to be updated, the operation and maintenance system may determine that a user logged in the operation and maintenance system requests to update the scope of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenarized object.

Detailed Description

The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiment of the application provides a method and a device for managing atomic objects, wherein the method and the device are based on the same technical concept, and because the principles of solving the problems of the method and the device are similar, the device and the method can be implemented by mutually referring, and repeated parts are not described again.

The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application can be applied to various communication systems, for example: long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication systems, fifth Generation (5th Generation, 5G) systems, such as new radio access technology (NR), and future communication systems.

For convenience of understanding of the embodiment of the present application, an application scenario of the present application is introduced next, where the service scenario described in the embodiment of the present application is for more clearly explaining the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, and it is known by a person skilled in the art that with the occurrence of a new service scenario, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

As shown in fig. 1, a plurality of atomic objects are stored in a device 12, where the device 12 is generally a network element in a core network, for example, a User Plane Function (UPF) network element, a Session Management Function (SMF) network element, and the like, and the atomic objects are atomic data models for defining non-resegmentable service management object units, and may be, for example, address pools and DNNs. A user such as an operator or an administrator may log in the operation and maintenance system 11, and perform a management operation on the primitive objects in the device 12 through the operation and maintenance system 11. For example, add a pool of addresses, query DNN, etc.

When managing the atomic objects in the device 12, the operation and maintenance system 11 generally manages a plurality of atomic objects of related functions in a unified manner. If the interface of the device in which the operation and maintenance system 11 is deployed is directly interfaced with the interface of the device 12 of the network element, when the operation and maintenance system performs management operation on the atomic object in the device 12, the management methods of different devices 12 are different. For example, when adding an atomic object APN, a certain vendor may need to add 200 atomic objects of related functions, and another vendor may need to add 300 atomic objects of related functions. The management process of the operation and maintenance system to the atomic object is complex.

Based on this, the present application provides a scheme for managing atomic objects, which sets a mapping relationship between a scenized object and an atomic object, where the scenized object is an encapsulation of an implementation-state atomic object with multiple related functions, that is, multiple atomic objects with related functions form a set, and the set is referred to as a scenized object. For example, the atomic objects are respectively apnns, apnautthattr, and apncharge, and the scene objects obtained by encapsulating these three atomic objects are referred to as APNs.

The operation and maintenance system may further set a standard docking interface (hereinafter referred to as a first interface) between the operation and maintenance system and a plurality of different devices, and the operation and maintenance system performs batch management on a plurality of atomic objects in the different devices through the first interface. And the management difficulty is simplified.

The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.

"and/or" in the present application, describing an association relationship of associated objects, means that there may be three relationships, for example, a and/or B, may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship. The plural in the present application means two or more.

In the description of the present application, the terms "first," "second," and the like, are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor order. In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the word "exemplary" is used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or implementation described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or implementations. Rather, the term using examples is intended to present concepts in a concrete fashion.

Fig. 2a is a schematic diagram illustrating a management process of an atomic object according to an embodiment of the present application. The operation and maintenance system and the first device may be the operation and maintenance system 11 and the device 12 in fig. 1. In addition, it should be noted that one device may include a plurality of scenarized objects, and the scenarized objects included in different devices may be the same or different. The first device of the present application may be any device. The first scenarized object is any one of the scenarized objects in the first device.

Step 201: the method comprises the steps that a first device sends a mapping relation between a first scenarized object in the first device and a plurality of first atomic objects in the first device to an operation and maintenance system. Accordingly, the operation and maintenance system receives a mapping relation between a first scenarized object from a first device and a plurality of first atomic objects in the first device.

For example, the first scenarized object is APN, and its implementation objects include, but are not limited to: ApnDns, apnauthhattr, APNCharge, and the like. The mapping relationship between the first scenarized object in the first device and the first atomic object in the first device may be: the mapping relation between the APN and the ApnDns, or the mapping relation between the APN and the ApnAuthttr, or the mapping relation between the APN and the APNCharge. The first scenarized object mapping a plurality of first atomic objects refers to: APN maps to ApnDns, APN also maps to ApnAuthHattr, and APN also maps to APNCharge. Therefore, ApnDns and ApnAuuthAttr and APNCharge are the first atom targets.

In one example, the mapping of the first scenarized object to the plurality of first atomic objects may be identified by a yang model tag. For example, the yang model tags include: a label dom of the first scenarized object; a tagging of the mapping relationship of the first scenarized object to the plurality of first atomic objects. The label dom of the first scenarized object is used for identifying the first scenarized object as a scenarized object; mapping labels mapping of the first scenarized objects and the plurality of first atomic objects are used to identify mapping relationships of the first scenarized objects and the plurality of first atomic objects. The mapping relation of the scenized object and the atomic objects is expressed through a standard yang model, so that the mapping relation is modeled, standardized and automated. It is more convenient to manage the data model and to facilitate the understanding and interfacing of external systems/tools.

In one example, the yang model label may further include: a feature tag feature of a first scenised object for identifying a feature of the first scenised object. The characteristic of the first scenized object can enable a user logging in the operation and maintenance system to have a deeper understanding of the first scenized object, so that the first scenized object can be managed accurately.

For example, as shown in fig. 2b, taking a module a (module a) as an example for explanation, an atomic object (list) APN is defined as a scenized object by a dom label of hua as an extension (hw-ext), and a characteristic label featurer identifies the characteristics of the APN as: a standard model of 3 gpppan (standard 3gpp APN model), and attribute information that introduces the APN. The Mapping APN indicates that an atomic object (list) ApnDns belongs to one of the atomic objects mapped by the APN. And introduces attribute information of ApnDns.

Optionally, before step 201, step 200 may be further included: and the operation and maintenance system sends a second message to the first device, wherein the second message is used for acquiring the mapping relation between the first scene object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device. Correspondingly, the first device receives the second message from the operation and maintenance system.

The second message may be a Netconf message, such as a Netconf request message. The second message may include a request identifier, where the request identifier is used to request to acquire a range of an atomic object mapped by each of the scenized objects in the first device, and may also request to acquire characteristics of the scenized objects. For example, the request identification may be a request to obtain a yang model list. The first device may perform step 201 after receiving the first message. Specifically, the first device may report a yang model list supported by the first device through a Netconf response message, where the yang model list includes: a label dom of the first scenarized object; mapping labels of mapping relations between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects, and feature labels of the first scenarized object.

Step 202: and the operation and maintenance system calls a first interface according to the mapping relation between the first scene object and the plurality of first atomic objects, and sends a first message to the first equipment, wherein the first message is used for requesting to execute a first operation on the first scene object. Correspondingly, the first device receives a first message sent by the operation and maintenance system calling the first interface. The first interface may also be referred to as a yang model conversion interface.

In one example, the first message may include an identification of the first scenized object and may also include an identification of the first operation. The first message may also be understood as a configuration maintenance instruction.

After receiving the mapping relationship between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects sent by the first device, the operation and maintenance system may display the mapping relationship between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects on a user interface according to a requirement of a user logging in the operation and maintenance system, and may also display characteristics of the first scenarized object. Other scenarized objects and their respectively mapped multiple atomic objects and/or respectively corresponding characteristics may also be displayed on the user interface, and multiple operations may also be displayed, such as ADD (ADD) operation, delete (remove) operation, modify (modify) operation, query (query) operation, and so on. The user can issue a first indication to the operation and maintenance system through the user interface, and the first indication can be used for indicating a first scenario and a first operation. For example, the first user may select the first scenarized object on the user interface, or may select the first operation. The user interface can also display a button with a confirmation function, and a user can click the button with the confirmation function to issue a first instruction to the operation and maintenance system, namely to request to execute a first operation on the first scenized object.

The first operation may be any of an ADD (ADD) operation, or a delete (remove) operation, or a modify (modify) operation, or a query (query) operation.

Step 203: the first device performs the first operation on the plurality of first atomic objects mapped to the first scenarized object.

When receiving a first message sent by the operation and maintenance system, the first device may query a plurality of first atomic objects according to a mapping relationship between a first scenarized object stored by the first device and the plurality of first atomic objects, and then execute the first operation on the plurality of first atomic objects. I.e., batch operations are performed on the plurality of first atomic objects.

In summary, the first device and the operation and maintenance system are docked through a standardized first interface. The first device firstly informs the operation and maintenance system of the mapping relationship between the self scene object and the plurality of atomic objects, so that the operation and maintenance system can manage the plurality of atomic objects in batch according to the scene object through the first interface when the operation and maintenance system manages the plurality of atomic objects in the first device. The complexity of the operation and maintenance system for managing the atomic object in the first device can be simplified.

The first interface is used for the operation and maintenance system to respectively send messages for requesting to execute operations on the respective scenized objects to a plurality of different devices. In another embodiment, the second device sends, to the operation and maintenance system, a mapping relationship between a second scenarized object of the second device and a plurality of second atomic objects in the second device. Accordingly, the operation and maintenance system receives a mapping relationship between a second scenized object from a second device and a plurality of second atomic objects in the second device. And the operation and maintenance system calls the first interface according to the mapping relation between the second scene objects and the plurality of second atomic objects, and sends a request message to the second equipment, wherein the request message is used for requesting to execute a third operation on the second scene objects. Correspondingly, the second device receives a request message sent by the operation and maintenance system calling the first interface. If the operation and maintenance system does not send a message for requesting to perform an operation on the scenized object to the network element device, the message may not need to be sent by calling the first interface. Such as step 200 and step 201 described above, without invoking the first interface.

In another embodiment, the device may actively update the range of the atomic object to which the scenized object is mapped, that is, update the mapping relationship between the scenized object and the atomic object. As shown in fig. 3, a schematic process diagram of updating the mapping relationship between the scenized object and the atomic object by the first device is provided.

Step 301, the first device determines that the range of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenarized object needs to be updated, and determines the mapping relationship between the updated first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects. For example, the first device may update the yang model file.

For example, the first scenarized object is an APN, and the mapped first atomic objects are ApnDns, apnauuthattr, and APNCharge, respectively. The multiple first atomic objects mapped by the APN of the first scenized object may be updated to ApnDns, apnauuthattr, that is, the originally mapped APNCharge is deleted. In addition to the first atomic objects of ApnDns, ApnAuthAttr, and APNCharge, several atomic objects may be added as the first atomic objects. It is also possible to both delete a part of the original first atomic object and add several atomic objects as the first atomic object.

In one example, the first device determines that a user logged into the first device requests an update to a scope of a first atomic object to which the first scenized object is mapped.

For example, the first device displays, according to a requirement of a user logging in the first device, a mapping relationship between a first scenarized object and a plurality of first atomic objects on a user interface (for example, the first scenarized object is an APN, and the mapped first atomic objects are ApnDns, apnauttar, and APNCharge, respectively), and may also display characteristics of the first scenarized object. Other scenarized objects, respectively mapped multiple atomic objects thereof, and/or respectively corresponding characteristics may also be displayed on the user interface. The user may issue a second indication to the first device through the user interface, where the second indication may be used to indicate the plurality of first atomic objects of the updated first scenarized mapping. For example, the first user may select the first scenarized object APN or may select multiple atomic objects on the user interface (e.g., apnauttr, APNCharge, and the remaining atoms are redeemed to a non-selected state). A "having an update function" button may also be displayed on the user interface, and the user may click the button having the update function to issue a second instruction to the first device, that is, to request to update the first atomic object mapped by the first scenarized object and update the first atomic object to the selected multiple atomic objects (for example, to select apnauttr, APNCharge). The first device also determines to update the first atomic object to which the first scenized object is mapped. For example, the APN map ApnDns, ApnAuuthAttr and APNCharge is updated from the original APN map ApnDns, ApnAuuthAttr and APNCharge.

Step 302: and the first device sends the updated mapping relation between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device to the operation and maintenance system. Correspondingly, the operation and maintenance system receives the updated mapping relation between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device from the first device.

For example, sending an updated yang model file. Specifically, the first device may update the content in the yang model label mapping of the mapping relationship between the scenarized object and the atomic object.

In one example, the first device sends, through a Netconf message, the updated mapping relationship between the first scenized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device to the operation and maintenance system.

Step 303: the operation and maintenance system updates the plurality of first atomic objects mapped by the first scenarized object.

For example, the APN original map ApnDns, ApnAuuthAttr, and APNCharge is updated to APN map ApnAuuthAttr, and APNCharge.

Further, optionally, step 304: if the operation and maintenance system receives a second operation on the first scenized object, a request message can be sent to the first device through the first interface, and correspondingly, the first device receives the request message sent by the operating system, and the request message is used for requesting to execute the second operation on the first scenized object.

Optionally, step 305: the first device performs the second operation on the plurality of first atomic objects of the updated first scenarized object map.

The specific processes of step 304 and step 305 may refer to the processes of step 202 and step 203, and are not repeated.

In another embodiment of the present application, the operation and maintenance system may also actively update the range of the atomic object mapped by the scenized object, and the specific process is as shown in fig. 4.

Step 401: the operation and maintenance system determines that an update is required to the scope of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenarized object and determines the scope of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenarized object that requests the update.

For example, the operation and maintenance system determines that a user logging in the operation and maintenance system requests to update the range of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenized object. The specific process may be the same as the example given in step 301, and only the first device is replaced by an operation and maintenance system, and repeated details are not described again.

Step 402: the operation and maintenance system sends a third message to the first device, wherein the third message is used for indicating the range of the first atomic object mapped by the first scenized object which is requested to be updated. Correspondingly, the first device receives the third message from the operation and maintenance system.

The first device may determine, after receiving the third message from the operation and maintenance system, that the range of the plurality of first atomic objects mapped by the first scenarized object needs to be updated. And step 403 is performed.

Step 403: and the first device sends the updated mapping relation between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device to the operation and maintenance system. Correspondingly, the operation and maintenance system receives the updated mapping relation between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device from the first device.

The first device may determine whether there is a condition to update the scope of the atomic object based on current internal implementation architecture conditions. When determining that the condition for updating the range of the atomic object is met, the first device updates the mapping relationship between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device, which is stored in the first device, and may further send the updated mapping relationship between the first scenarized object and the plurality of first atomic objects in the first device to the first device.
