The present invention relates to a device and method for operation management in a digital home service distribution management system. More particularly, in operating a service distribution management system for distributing and managing services in a home, a separate operating interface is opened to operators. Operation management device in the digital home service distribution management system that frees the firewall by improving the interoperability with the operation system and providing integrated management and general operation management methods for heterogeneous distribution management systems and servers in a distributed environment. It is about a method.

As is well known, the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) was officially launched in 1988, under the auspices of the ITU, as a strategic goal to create or verify standard interfaces to ensure that networks are managed consistently across all network component providers. This concept, in an effort to develop a standard method of enumerating and referring to network components, defined the general operational functions and areas of management for the operation and maintenance of the network.

At this time, the management area of TMN can be divided into five categories: performance management, failure management, configuration management, account management, and security management. Performance management manages the communication status, resource performance, and traffic of the system and observes the service quality. do. Fault management includes alarm tracking, fault location determination, test functions, configuration management provides provisioning, status control, installation, account management for billing, and security management for access control.

On the other hand, the initial Internet network management in the TCP / IP environment provided only simple functions for the counterpart host using ping, but as the number of Internet access hosts increased and the network configuration became complicated, new standardized protocols were needed. So the adopted one is SNMP. SNMP is the most widely used protocol for operational management systems as an information exchange mechanism between management systems and management agents for network management. However, since SNMP is a binary protocol, there are limitations in exchanging or interoperating information with an SNMP-based management system and a management agent that are already installed or heterogeneous or using a different network.

Therefore, the wire protocols in the existing distributed environment were Java Remote Method Protocol (JRMP) of Java RMI, IIOP of CORBA, and OPRC of DCOM. However, these have a problem that it is difficult to maintain compatibility between different distributed object middleware as a binary protocol method.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to operate a service distribution management system for distributing and managing services in a home, and to separate operations by opening an operation interface to a service provider. Operation management device in the digital home service distribution management system to increase the interoperability with the system, and to provide free management of heterogeneous distribution management systems and servers in a distributed environment and generalized operation management methods, so as to be free from firewalls. And a method.

In order to achieve the above object, the operation management apparatus in the digital home service distribution management system of the present invention comprises a CM of operation management functions, one or more distribution management systems (MM) in charge of service distribution and management functions, and a database.

Hereinafter, an apparatus and method for managing operations in a digital home service distribution management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the present invention, a management agent with open management management matching is developed using text-based SOAP. SOAP is one of the applications of XML as a flexible protocol between heterogeneous platforms and systems in a distributed environment. Thus, SOAP, which employs a text approach, can easily achieve distributed object compatibility using XML. In addition, SOAP is an open architecture based on XML, which makes it easy for vendors to apply it to their own solutions, and requires a parser that can parse XML to share data with each other. Can be used for Although SOAP, an XML-based text protocol, is much lower in performance than binary-based protocols, it can be well worth it if you increase compatibility and simplicity.

1 is a network diagram showing the configuration of a digital home service distribution management system according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which one or more distributions are in charge of a control module (CM) 10, a service distribution and management function of an operation management function. It consists of a management module (MM) 20 and a database (DB) 30. The management target system in the function of the present invention refers to the MM 20 in FIG. 1 and is often referred to as a service distribution management system since the MM 20 is in charge of the service distribution management function. In addition, in the present invention, the operation management system refers to an operation management agent mounted on the CM 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the CM 10 and the MM 20 are based on SOAP communication using the Internet network. have.

2 is a functional block diagram illustrating a configuration of an operation management apparatus in a digital home service distribution management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the operation management device which is the operation management agent mounted on the CM 10 in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 2, collects and transmits performance data of the MM 20 to the operation management system. Performance information collecting unit 101; A plurality of performance information requesting units 102 performing SOAP communication with the performance information collecting unit 101 and requesting performance data to the plurality of performance information collecting units 101, respectively; After providing the plurality of identifiers and network address information of the MM (distribution management system) 20 to the plurality of performance information requesting units 102, the state and the performance data collected by the performance information requesting unit 102 A plurality of state information processing units 103 for processing faults; It is composed of a thread processing unit 104 for periodically generating one state information processing unit 103 of the thread type.

Next, an operation management method in a digital home service distribution management system according to an embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the system according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, before the thread processing unit 104 which periodically generates a thread by the system clock 1 generates a thread, system shape information is stored in the database 30. This includes the number of branch pipe systems (MM) 20 and the identifier and network address of each system. The thread processing unit 104, which has obtained the shape information of the system, creates threads as many as the number of the distribution management system 20. At this time, one thread is allocated to one distribution management system 20, and the thread is generated. The management target system, that is, the identifier and network address of the distribution management system (MM) 20 is transmitted to the thread (S10).

On the other hand, the state information processing unit 103 in the form of a thread receiving the identifier and the network address of the system to be processed is ready to enter the performance information collection step, to determine the status of the performance information to generate the status data to determine the status criteria Failure thresholds are taken from the database 30.

Then, the state information processing unit 103 receives the performance information of the distribution management system (MM) 20 through the performance information requesting unit 103 and the performance information collecting unit 101 and checks its performance. By performing the operation of storing the result value in the database 30, which is repeated for the CPU, memory and disk (S30, S40, S50).

First, referring to the case of the CPU, when the state information processing unit 103 requests the CPU performance information including the network address of the target system (S31), the performance information requesting unit 102 receives this and sets the destination system. Generates a SOAP message requesting the CPU performance information and delivers it to the destination (S32). Then, a corresponding service function among the predefined services as shown in FIG. 4 is called by a destination, that is, a web server embedded in the distribution management system (MM) 20. Here, "getCpuInfo", that is, the performance information collection unit. The CPU information collecting service of 101 is called. The performance information collecting unit 101 collects information on CPU occupancy in response to the request, and includes the CPU occupancy information in the SOAP response message in the form of "CpuData", which is a predefined data format as shown in FIG. 5. And transmits to the performance information requesting unit 102 (S33).

Then, the performance information requesting unit 102 having received the response to the requested message extracts only the result data from the SOAP response message and transmits the result data to the state information processing unit 103 (S34). Subsequently, the state information processing unit 103 receives data on the CPU occupancy rate from the performance information requesting unit 102 and records it in the database 30 (S35).

Thereafter, the state information processing unit 103 determines the state by comparing with a previously stored fault threshold (CPU fault threshold), and stores the state information in the database 30 regardless of whether the state is normal or abnormal. If the state is abnormal, fault data is generated and stored in the fault table of the database 30 (S36). At this time, the status information is used to report the overall system status to the operator. Here, it is recorded whether the newly created disability or the disability history that has already occurred in order to provide the operator with accurate information on the current disability history.

On the other hand, the performance of the memory and the disk is also checked and recorded through the same process as the above-described steps (S31 to S36), so the performance checking process for the memory is the same as the steps " S41 to S46 " The performance checking procedure for the step is the same as the steps " S51 to S56 "
That is, in the case of memory, when the state information processing unit 103 requests the memory performance information by including the network address of the target system to the performance information requesting unit 102 (S41), the performance information requesting unit 102 In response to the memory performance information request from the state information processing unit, the performance information collection unit 101 as a destination system is set, and a SOAP message requesting the memory performance information is generated and delivered to the destination system (S42). In response to the SOAP message, the performance information collecting unit 101 collects information on memory performance in order to respond to the request, and includes the SOAP information message in the SOAP response message to transmit to the performance information requesting unit 102 (S43).
Then, after receiving the response to the message requested by the performance information requesting unit 102, only the result data is extracted from the SOAP response message and transferred to the state information processing unit 103 (S44). Subsequently, the state information processing unit 103 receives data on memory performance from the performance information requesting unit 102 and records the data on the database 30 (S45).
Thereafter, the state information processing unit 103 compares the data for the memory state with a memory failure threshold previously stored, and determines the state. If the state is normal, the state information processor 103 generates state data and stores the state data in the database 30. On the other hand, if abnormal, generates fault data and stores it in the database (30) (S46).
Next, in the case of a disk, when the status information processing unit 103 requests the disk performance information by including the network address of the target system to the performance information requesting unit 102 (S51), the performance information requesting unit 102. Receives the disk performance information request, sets the performance information collecting unit 101, the destination system, generates a SOAP message requesting the disk performance information and delivers it to the destination system (S52). The performance information collecting unit 101 receiving the SOAP message collects the information on the disk performance in order to respond to the request, and includes the information on the disk response message to transmit to the performance information requesting unit 102 (S53).
Then, the performance information requesting unit 102 having received the response to the requested message extracts only the result data from the SOAP response message and transmits the result data to the state information processing unit 103 (S54). Subsequently, the state information processing unit 103 receives data on the disk performance from the performance information requesting unit 102 and records the data on the database 30 (S55).
Thereafter, the state information processing unit 103 compares the data on the state of the disk with a disk failure threshold previously stored, and determines the state. If the state is normal, the state information processor 103 generates state data and stores the state data in the database 30. On the other hand, if abnormal, generates fault data and stores it in the database (30) (S56).
