In such an OAMP, a plurality of system operators access a single OAMP system to perform a communication operation and test.

However, such an OAMP did not have a function to transfer messages between operators logged in. Thus, if the operating system (Operating System, hereinafter referred to as "OS"), for example, OAMP is running on Unix, a message to the system user on the local host as a communication-related command on the Unix You are logged in to the OS using the wall / write command provided by the OS in a separate terminal, such as the 'wall' command that jumps to or the 'write' command that copies standard input one line at a time to the other terminal. The message was delivered to all operators.

However, the message delivery method as described above has a problem in that the message is transmitted to all the operators who are logged in to the OS but not logged in to the OAMP, and also specified as a specific session or a specific ID (ID) logged into the OAMP. It was not possible to provide the ability to send messages only to the operator.

In the OAMP according to the prior art operating as described above, since the OS does not specifically provide a command for transmitting a message, the OAMP is transmitted to the operator using the command used in the OS in which the OAMP is driven or logged in to the OAMP. There was a problem in that a message had to be delivered by wire or by another method (direct delivery or another messenger program).

Accordingly, an object of the present invention, which is designed to solve the problems of the prior art operating as described above, is that an operator connected to an operating system (OAMP) operating a communication system sends a message to another operator connected to the OAMP. It is to provide a method and apparatus for providing a function of transmitting and receiving messages between operators.

Another object of the present invention, when it is necessary to deliver a message to all operators or a specific operator logged into the operating system (OAMP) operating a communication system to deliver a message using a separate OAMP command (command) specified It is to provide a method and apparatus.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for adding a message transmission module to an instruction processor on an OAMP to deliver a message to an operator logged into an operating system (OAMP) operating a communication system.

Client Session Manager (CSM) corresponding to the CSM for managing information, and a user interface (UI: User Interface) management unit for receiving the message transmission command from the CLI by the originating CSM corresponding to the sender Receiving the message transmission command through the originating CSM, extracting a message included in the message transmission command, receiving CSM information of all operators from the UI manager, and extracting the extracted message and CSM information of all the operators. A message transmission module for delivering to the originating CSM, wherein the originating CSM is all Selecting at least one operator to receive the CSM information of the operator to transmit the extracted message, characterized in that it comprises a CT (Command Transaction) for transmitting the extracted message to the selected at least one operator.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, in a method for transmitting a message to an operator connected to an operation and management processor (OAMP), the command transmission unit may send the message transmission command from one of the operators. CLI) and CSMs for managing client session management unit (CSM) information corresponding to each of the operators in the user interface (UI) management unit, and from the CLI by the originating CSM corresponding to the caller. Receiving a message transmission command, receiving the message transmission command transmitted through the originating CSM in the message transmission module, extracting a message included in the message transmission command, and receiving CSM information of all operators from the UI manager; Transferring to the originating CSM, and CT included in the originating CSM And receiving the information of all the operators to select the information of the operator to send the message, characterized in that it comprises the step of transmitting the message to the selected operators.

Hereinafter, the operating principle of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a known function or configuration may unnecessarily flow the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and may be changed according to the intentions or customs of the user, the operator, and the like. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

The present invention can be used to deliver a message by using a separate OAMP command when it is necessary to deliver a message to all operators or a specific operator logged into the operating system (OAMP) operating a communication system. Additional message transmission module is provided on OAMP.

1 is a view showing the structure of a general OAMP system.

Operating System (OS) 100 is an operating system (OS) of a communication system in which OAMP operates, for example, there are Unix or Linux. The OAMP 105 is an operation & management processor that operates a communication system. Elements constituting the communication system can be roughly divided into a call processor (CP) and an OAMP.

The user interface (UI.EXE or UI) 110 is a process responsible for interfacing with an operator in OAMP, and a command-line interface (hereinafter referred to as “CLI”) 155 is a message input by an operator. As a process of transmitting to the UI 110 or outputting a message transmitted by the UI 110 to the operator, it is an interaction method using a command between the operator and the system.

The UI manager 115 is a thread that is in charge of direct communication with an operator in the UI 110 process, and a client session manager (hereinafter referred to as “CSM”) 120 and 130. Is an object that contains information of each operator connected to the OAMP 105.

The command transaction 125 (hereinafter referred to as "CT") 125 is an object that contains command information input by the operator, and the command processor 135 is referred to as "CP". Has a module to process the commands entered.

The element management system (hereinafter referred to as "EMS") 160 is an upper system for managing a communication system, and the log file 145 is a log file of messages processed in the OAMP 105. Save it.

The operator 150 operates a communication system and is connected to an OS and an OAMP. The operator 150 transmits a specific command to the UI 110 through the CLI 155 and processes the UI 110 according to the specific command. The communication system management between the operator 150 and the communication system 100 is performed by transmitting the result to the CLI 355 and outputting the result to the operator by the CLI 155.

2 is a view showing the structure of an OAMP system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The operator 250 connects to the OS 200 and logs in to the OAMP 205 to operate the communication system. In addition, the operator 250 executes the UI 210 to interface with the OAMP 205 and inputs a command through the CLI 255. Accordingly, the command is transmitted to the CP 235 through the UI manager 215, and the CP 235 has a module for processing a command input by the operator 250, and a module corresponding to the input command. Run them.

In this case, the CP 235 adds a message send module 240 that is responsible for message transmission between operators to process a message transmission command from an operator. As such, since the message transmission module 240 is provided, messages can be transmitted and received between all operators or specific operators connected to the OAMP.

3 is a diagram illustrating a structure capable of transmitting a message in an OAMP system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the OAMP 305 system includes a message transmission module 345 on the CP 340. For example, the operators logging into the OAMP 305 include Sender 360, Receiver1 350, Receiver2 355, and among the operators, Sender 365. Indicates a case of sending a message to recipients 1 and 2 (350 and 355).

Here, the other operator 360 refers to an operator connected to the OS but not logged in to the OAMP.

4 is a diagram illustrating a message transmission procedure in an OAMP system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In step 1, the message sender 470 sends a message to all the operators connected to the OAMP SEND-MSG: ALL ,, "UI shall be restarted in 3 minutes"; Send a message to the UI 410 using the CLI 490, such as "The UI will be restarted in 3 minutes." In step 2, the UI manager 415 receiving the command from the sender 470 transmits the command to the CSM 425 corresponding to the sender 470 to process the command among the various CSMs 420, 425, and 435. The CSM 425 creates one CT 430 to process the command.

In step 3, the newly generated CT 430 performs the message transmission module 445 of the CP 440 to process the command. In step 4, the message transmission module 445 extracts a message to be transmitted to other operators from the input command and displays the information of all the CSMs 420, 425, and 430 which are the information of the operators connected to the UI 410. The controller 415 receives the information of all the CSMs 420, 425, and 430 and the message extracted from the command to the CT 430.

In step 5, the CT 430, which receives the information of all the CSMs 420, 425, and 430 from the message transmission module 445, sends an operator among the CSMs 420 and 430 except for the CSM 425. (For example, receiver 1 455 and receiver 2 460) are selected, and a message is transmitted to the message reception operators 455 and 460 through the UIManager 415. In this case, the message is changed to an output message format and then transmitted.

In step 6, the CT 430 sends the same message to the EMS 475 after transmitting the message. This is because the EMS 475 must be able to receive all messages exchanged by the OAMP 405 because the EMS 475 is a higher management system. Thereafter, in step 7, when all messages are transmitted, a log of the corresponding message, that is, data recording input / output information is stored in the log file 450.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a message transmission procedure in an OAMP system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

When the operator logged in to the OAMP inputs a command to perform a specific function in step 505, the CLI receives the command from the operator in step 510 and delivers the command to the UI manager on the UI in step 515.

In step 520, the UI manager receives the command from the CLI, and in step 525, the UI manager delivers the command to the CSM having the information of the operator who entered the command. In step 530, the CSM generates a new CT to process the command.

In step 535, the CT determines whether the command is a message transmission command (SEND-MSG). If the command is not a message transmission command, the CT proceeds to step 540 to find a module corresponding to the command in the CP and performs the command. And exit.

However, if the command is a message transmission command, the command is a message transmission command for sending a message to the entire operator or a specific operator who is logged in to the OAMP, so the process proceeds to step 545 to process the message transmission command. To execute the message transmission module on the CP.

The message transmission module executed in step 550 extracts a message to be transmitted to another operator from the input command, and in step 555 receives information of all CSMs, which are the information of the operators connected to the UI, from the UI manager and receives the information of all the CSMs. The operator selects an operator to transmit a message from the information of all the CSMs, changes the message to be transmitted to the operator according to the output message format of the OAMP, and then selects the operator to transmit the message. It delivers to the CSM and sends a message to the selected operators through the UI manager.

In step 560, if the message transmission is not completed by checking whether the message transmission is completed to all operators to transmit the message, in step 565, the message is changed to an output message format, and the message is transmitted to the CSM that satisfies the condition in step 570. The message is sent to the corresponding operator and the process returns to step 560.

Thereafter, if the message transmission is completed to all CSMs in step 560, the CT sends the same message to the EMS in step 575 to the selected operators. Since OAMP must report all message transmissions to the EMS, after reporting the message delivery to the EMS, in step 580, the message or log transmitted in the log file is stored in case of a problem later.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of various modifications within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by those equivalent to the scope of the claims.
