ABSTRACT:
A method and associated data constructs for sharing management information, stored in a common repository among multiple application programs. The present invention provides methods and structures for maintaining consistency and integrity of information shared among multiple application programs while allowing easier integration of management information relating to disparate aspects of enterprise management. Standard server programs are provided to serve client application programs by manipulating and retrieving information stored in the common repository. A meta-schema defines the structure of information stored in the common repository and permits extension of the information to incorporate data relevant to new application programs. In addition, tools are defined to permit developers to automate the creation of new server programs which manipulate and retrieve information stored in the common repository. The automatic generation of new server programs helps retain the consistency and integrity of management information achieved by application of the meta-schema structures.
