This Recommendation | International Standard defines the management domain and management policy management function. This Management Function is a System Management function which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized management environment to interact for the purpose of systems management, as defined by the OSI Management Framework, CCITT Rec. X.700 and ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation | International Standard defines a function which consists of generic definitions and services. This function is positioned in the application layer of the OSI reference model (ITU-T Rec. X.200 | ISO/IEC 7498-1) and is defined according to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions is described by CCITT Rec. X.701 | ISO/IEC 10040.

This Recommendation | International Standard:

• identifies the set of requirements satisfied by the function;
• provides a model for the behaviour of the management domain management objects;
• provides a model for the behaviour of the management policy management objects;
• specifies the management requirements of the function and how these are realized by specification of managed objects and their behaviour;
• specifies the mapping of these services onto the CMIS services;
• specifies the abstract syntax of the parameters of the MAPDUs that will be used to refer to managed objects and their characteristics;
• provides a model, in accordance with the Management Information Model and the General Relationship Model, for information associated with management domains, policies, and jurisdictions and for the behaviour of managed objects through which that information is accessed and manipulated;
• provides definitions of the information associated with management domains, policies, and jurisdictions, their representation and the operations which may be performed upon them in terms of managed object and management relationship templates.

This Recommendation | International Standard does not:

• define the nature of any implementation intended to provide the management domain and management policy management function;
• specify the manner in which management is to be accomplished by the user of the management domain and management policy management function;
• define the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the management domain and management policy management function;
• specify the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management association;
• define the interactions which result by the simultaneous use of several management functions;
• define connection establishment or authorization requirements for the use of this function or for any associated activity;
• preclude the definition of further management domain, management policy, or management jurisdiction managed object classes.
