Inventory management

Overview

The XML API interface provides methods that allow OSS applications to request information about the managed network. The inventory information can be maintained by keeping it synchronized with the NFM-P in real time, or by periodically sending a request for updated information.

The following figure shows the message flow of an OSS request for information from the NFM-P database.
