背景技术
目前，在用户进行自动化工作时，可以采用认知网络管理系统进行工作。认知网络管理系统可以包括意图消费网元以及意图提供网元，意图消费网元可以请求意图提供网元执行意图，以达成对被管理实体网元的期望。意图提供网元在执行意图的过程中，可以从数据分析网元获取用于执行意图的意图方案，再根据意图方案生成意图操作，然后将意图操作下发给被管理实体网元去执行。
意图的执行过程中获取意图方案、生成意图操作与执行意图操作均需要占用一定的时间，并且在不同的阶段对系统会产生不同的影响。但是，在目前的意图管理系统中，对意图执行的管理粒度是针对整个意图执行过程，意图管理的效率较低。因此，亟需一种意图管理的方法和通信装置，能够提高意图管理的效率。
发明内容

从而，在本申请中，第一网元接收指示第一意图未达成的第一信息，由于第一网元还接收了指示意图操作还未执行的第二信息，第一网元就不会因为接收到了第一信息，就因此误认为是意图操作的执行出现了异常或者意图操作执行后不能达到预期的效果进而调整第一意图，第一网元会根据第一信息和第二信息确定不需要调整第一意图，从而避免了因为调整意图而重新转译，生成方案等过程，进而可以提高意图的达成率，能够提高意图管理的效率。

为了便于理解本申请实施例，首先结合图1详细说明适用于本申请实施例提供的方法的意图管理的系统。图1示出了适用于本申请实施例提供的方法的意图管理的系统100的示意图。如图1所示，该系统100包括意图消费网元110，意图提供网元120，分析服务网元130，被管理实体(managed entity)网元140。
意图消费网元110，也可以称之为意图消费者，是意图的消费主体。例如，意图消费网元110可以是运营支撑系统(operations support systems，OSS)、业务支撑系统(business support systems，BSS)、应用(application，APP)或其它用户设备。对于IDMS系统，意图消费网元110可以是服务消费者或管理服务(management service，MnS)网元，例如网络管理系统(network management system，NMS)。意图消费网元110可以与意图提供网元120进行通信，例如意图消费网元110可以向意图提供网元120发送创建意图或实施意图的请求。
意图提供网元120，也可以称之为意图生产网元、意图提供者或者意图生产者。对于IDMS系统，意图提供网元120可以是指意图服务提供者，例如，设备管理系统(element management system，EMS)。意图提供网元120能够从意图消费网元110接收实施意图的请求，并执行意图以达成意图目标。
分析服务网元130，可以为意图的执行提供分析服务。例如，分析服务网元130可以是管理数据分析服务(management data analysis function，MDAF)网元，或者是能够根据需求生成优化建议的产品，例如节能产品。在本申请中，分析服务网元130能够从意图提供网元120接收请求进行意图分析的任务设置，生成意图方案，并将意图方案发送给意图提供网元120。
被管理实体网元140中可以包括至少一个网络设备，每个网络设备可以与意图提供网元120进行通信，例如，意图提供网元120中可以向被管理实体网元140中的任意网络设备发送意图操作。
需要说明的是，本申请的方案可以应用于包含相应网元的其它系统中，本申请不作限定。可以理解的是，上述网元或者功能既可以是硬件设备中的网络元件，也可以是在专用硬件上运行软件功能，或者是平台(例如，云平台)上实例化的虚拟化功能。可选的，上述网元或者功能可以由一个设备实现，也可以由多个设备共同实现，还可以是一个设备内的一个功能模块，本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
需要说明的是，在下述方法200至方法900的实施例中，第一网元可以是上述的意图消费网元，第二网元可以是上述的意图提供网元，第三网元可以是上述的被管理实体网元，第四网元可以是上述的分析服务网元。
在本申请中，第一意图的执行过程可以包括三个阶段，图2示出了三个阶段的示意图，应理解，该示意图仅作示例，第一意图执行的过程还可以包括其它步骤，图2仅是对有关三个阶段的步骤进行说明。
第一阶段：生成意图方案的阶段。
该阶段包括第一网元向第二网元请求创建第一意图，第二网元向第四网元请求意图方案，第四网元确定意图方案，以及第四网元向第二网元下发意图方案的过程。
第二阶段：生成意图操作的阶段。
该阶段也可以理解为将意图方案转化为意图操作的阶段，该阶段包括第二网元确定意图操作的过程。例如第二网元从接收到的一套或多套意图方案中确定执行的意图方案，并根据该意图方案确定需要执行的意图操作。
第三阶段：意图操作的执行阶段。
该阶段包括第二网元向第三网元下发意图操作，第三网元执行意图操作的过程。在第三阶段中，第三网元可能包括多个网络设备执行意图操作，此时，第三阶段包括每个网络设备接收意图操作并执行意图操作的过程。
可见，在第一阶段中，第二网元还没有将意图方案转化为意图操作。在第一阶段和第二阶段中，第二网元还没有将意图操作下发给第四网元。如果，第二网元在第一阶段和第二阶段的过程中向第一网元发送用于指示第一意图没有达成的反馈信息，第一网元可能会误认为是意图操作的执行出现了异常，或者意图操作执行后不能达到预期的效果进而调整第一意图，降低了意图的达成效率。并且，该反馈信息的发送也造成了资源和时间的浪费。
因此，本申请提出了一种意图管理的方法和通信装置，能够提高意图管理的效率。以下首先对意图管理的方法进行说明，其中，图3至图9所示的方法实施例在说明的过程中可以与图2相结合，有关第一阶段、第二阶段或第三阶段的描述可以参考图2中的描述。另外，图3至图9所示的方法实施例之间可以相互结合，图3至图9所示的方法实施例中 的步骤可以相互引用。例如，在本申请实施例中，通信装置可以同时实现图3和图5所示的方法实施例的功能，也可以同时实现图4和图5所示的方法实施例的功能，图6所示的方法实施例可以是实现图3所示的方法实施例的功能的一种实现方式，图7所示的方法实施例可以是实现图4所示的方法实施例的功能的一种实现方式，图8所示的方法实施例可以是实现图4和图5所示的方法实施例的功能的一种实现方式，图9所示的方法实施例可以是实现图5所示的方法实施例的功能的一种实现方式。
图3示出了本申请实施例提供的一种意图管理的方法300的示意性流程图。
S301，第二网元向第一网元发送第一信息，对应地，第一网元从第二网元接收第一信息。
该第一信息用于指示第一意图未达成。
应理解，第一意图未达成是指被管理实体网元相关的参数值还暂未达到第一意图的意图目标。暂未达成意图目标可能的情况包括以下一种或多种：第一意图还在执行的过程中、第一意图的执行出现异常、第一意图的执行失败、或第一意图的执行完成后但未达到意图目标。
可选地，第一网元向第二网元发送用于请求创建第一意图的意图创建请求消息，第二网元响应于意图创建请求消息，向第一网元发送反馈消息，该反馈消息中携带第一信息。此时，该第一信息可以表示第一意图在第二网元发送该反馈消息的时候还未达成。
S302，第二网元向第一网元发送第二信息，对应地，第一网元从第二网元接收第二信息。
该第二信息用于指示第一意图对应的意图操作未被执行。
其中，第一意图对应的意图操作未被执行可以包括如下两种情况中的任一种：
情况1：
第一意图对应的意图操作未向第三网元发送。
这是指第一意图的执行还处于图2中所描述的第一阶段或第二阶段，即第一意图还处于生成意图方案或生成意图操作的阶段。
情况2：
第一意图对应的意图操作向第三网元发送后未被执行。
这是指第一意图的执行还处于第三阶段中的第三网元执行意图操作之前的阶段，即第三网元接收到意图操作但还未执行的阶段。
可选地，第二网元响应于意图创建请求消息，向第一网元发送的反馈消息中还携带该第二信息。此时，该第二信息可以表示第一意图在第二网元发送该反馈消息的时候意图操作还未被执行。
应理解，当第二网元向第一网元发送第一信息和第二信息时，第一意图未达成的原因不是第三网元执行意图操作过程中或者执行意图操作后可能出现的原因。
S303，第一网元根据第一信息和第二信息确定不调整第一意图。
例如，第一网元根据第一信息和第二信息确定第一意图未达成的原因不是第三网元执行意图操作过程中或者执行后可能出现的原因，因此，第一网元可以不对第一意图进行调整。
可选地，不调整第一意图是指：不对第一意图进行以下操作中的任意一项：修改操作、 删除操作或者去激活操作。
其中，修改操作可以是指修改第一意图的意图目标、或修改第一意图的意图表达式等操作；删除操作可以是指不再执行第一意图的操作；去激活操作可以是指挂起第一意图、暂不执行第一意图的操作。
在一种可能的方式中，第一网元多次接收第一信息，第一网元根据多次接收的第一信息和第二信息确定不调整第一意图。
例如，第二网元按照周期向第一网元发送反馈消息，且预设置若在N次反馈消息中都携带指示第一意图未达成的第一信息，则调整第一意图，N为正整数。若第二网元在前N次发送的反馈消息中均携带第一信息，并携带了指示意图操作还未被执行的第二信息，则第二网元不会因为接收了N次的第一信息就作出调整第一意图的动作，而是根据第二信息确定不调整第一意图。
从而，在本申请中，第一网元接收指示第一意图未达成的一次或多次第一信息，由于第一网元还接收了指示意图操作还未执行的第二信息，第一网元就不会因为接收到了第一信息，或者接收第一信息达到了预定的次数，就因此误认为是意图操作的执行出现了异常或者意图操作执行后不能达到预期的效果进而调整第一意图，第一网元会根据第一信息和第二信息确定不需要调整第一意图，从而避免了因为调整意图而重新转译，生成方案等过程，进而可以提高意图的达成率，能够提高意图管理的效率。

另外，当该第三时间为意图操作完成执行的时间，第二网元在确定第二时间后，可以确定预计执行意图操作的时间(即第三阶段的时间)，第二网元将第二时间与第二阶段和第三阶段的时间相加后，可以得到意图操作完成执行的第三时间。当该第三时间为意图操作开始执行的时间，或者说意图操作完成下发的时间，第二网元在确定第二时间后，可以确定预计意图操作完成下发的时间，第二网元将第二时间与意图操作完成下发的时间相加后，可以得到意图操作开始执行的第三时间。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一网元可以指示第二网元确定第二时间，该方法400在步骤S402之前还可以执行步骤S405。
