Description: This document defines an application programming interface (API) for providing access to management information services which are abstracted in terms of notifications and operations on managed objects. It uses the systems management concepts defined by ISO. The interface provides access to the Internet Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the OSI Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) to transfer information between systems. The XMP API is designed to be used and implemented with the associated X/Open OSI-Abstract-Data Manipulation API (XOM). It also forms part of the Network Management Forum's OMNIPoint initiative. For those who use the XMP API to define or implement management information models, the associated GDMO to XOM Translation Algorithm specification complements the XMP API, by defining an automated way to develop OM-format content-specific packages from ISO GDMO (Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects) format. X/Open and Prentice Hall are pleased to join forces to make available some of X/Open's key works. This title is especially selected by X/Open and Prentice Hall for distribution through the international book trade by Prentice Hall.
