As a result of the analysis, if the registration request is a change request to the existing interworking interface, the registration information of the interworking interface stored in the interlocking interface storage is output (314), and the network management management system B, which is the integrated object, implements the program for the interworking interface. And change the execution code.

The integrated operation management system A receives the changed interworking interface program implementation information from the communication network operation management system B, which is the integrated object (315), and determines whether the interworking interface execution code is changed (316).

Thereafter, the user checks whether there is a request for processing the input data (404).

As a result of the check, if there is no request for processing the input data from the user, an execution code for the integrated operation management service is simply generated (413).
