Abstract

In a network management operation system connected via a communication line to a network having a plurality of object instances to be managed, the management information database stores management information of the containment relationship between object instances in the form of table. When an operator designates some object instances and enters a control command for the designated object instances, the management information of the designated object instances is retrieved from the management information database and a containment tree (management information having a containment structure) corresponding to the containment relationship between the designated object instances is generated, respectively within the network management operation system. In accordance with the generated containment tree, a scope pattern of Common Management Information Service (CMIS) of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) is automatically generated.
