CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC-12060-4-96 (R2009)

The international community has decided to make this standard available only in the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of Canada on this basis. This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC ISP 12060-4:1995. 1 Scope 1.1 General This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12060 specifies the General event report management profile, AOM221, which is applicable to end systems operating in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) environment. AOM221 specifies a combination of OSI standards which collectively provide General event report management. General event report management provides a means for selecting which notifications (generated by managed objects) are sent by an open system and where they are sent; this process of selection is referred to as discrimination and the criteria for selection are specified in an Event Forwarding Discriminator (EFD) support managed object. AOM221 also provides a means for initiating, terminating, suspending and resuming the sending of event reports as well as modification of the selection criteria. These capabilities are achieved by a set of operations upon, and a set of notifications generated by, the EFD object. AOM221 also specifies use of a combination of standards that collectively provide the subset of the Common Management Information Service required by this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12060. The support of the complete set of operation and notification services and of the management attributes does not imply that all these features shall be used in all instances of communication. The selection of the features depends on the requirements of the MIS users. The definitions and conventions used in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12060 are specified in ISO/IEC ISP 12059-0, Common definitions for management function profiles.
