Abstract: A method for arranging transaction control in a device management system. A required transaction control operation is defined in a managing device for arranging transaction control of a management task for a managed device. At least one device management command is defined for the transaction control operation. The at least one device management command is transmitted to the managed device. A required transaction control operation is specified in the managed device onasis of one or more received device management commands, and transaction control for a management task is carried out on the basis of the defined transaction control operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for arranging service management in a service management system, the method comprising: defining one or more device management commands on the basis of predetermined mapping instructions and a service management command, transmitting the device management commands to a managed device, specifying in the managed device one or more service management commands on the basis of the received device management commands, and carrying out the defined one or more device management commands.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for defining the nodes of a management structure used in device management in a device management system. In the arrangement, case sensitivity information is associated with at least one node to define whether to distinguish between upper-case and lower-case letters. At least one node is defined according to the case sensitivity information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for arranging local operations in a management system, the method comprising: defining a management command addressed to a first node in a management structure of the managed device such that it comprises a command for performing a local operation for a second node of the management structure in the managed device, transmitting the management command to the managed device, defining at least one required local operation on the basis of the received management command, and initiating the defined local operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to device management and to information needed for bootstrapping and initiation. The bootstrapping information and initiation information are sent in one message, wherein the client receives them both. According to the state of the client, one of the informations is selected and used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of addressing a management object in a device management system, wherein at least one management object is added to a manageable client device. The method comprises retrieving a content of a predetermined data element from information in the management object. At least part of the content of said data element is coded using a predetermined coding algorithm. At least part of the content of said data element, in coded form, is assigned as an identifier for the management object. The identifier is used to address the management object.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of limiting the size of synchronization messages between a first synchronization device and a second synchronization device. The first device specifies a maximum message size for synchronization messages to be sent to the first device and transmits information on the maximum message size to the second device. The second device transmits to the first device one or more synchronization messages which are equal to or smaller than the maximum message size of the first device.

Abstract: SyncML is used for synchronizing data of terminal device in wireless and wired environments. In general, synchronization takes place between a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone) and a server device (e.g., a web server in Internet). However, a SyncML session, which occurs between the terminal and server, is an end-to-end communication. The idea of the present invention is to provide a method, a router and a system to allow routing of the synchronizing data exchanged during a synchronizing session through such a router. In general having the router is more cost efficient and a faster solution from the end-user point of view.

Abstract: A method of arranging synchronization of databases, the method comprising the steps of establishing a transport layer connection for synchronization between a first and a second device which synchronize databases. During initialization of synchronization a first update identifier, which is stored at least in the first device and describes the latest synchronization event the devices have performed in the databases, and a second update identifier, which is defined by the first device and describes the present synchronization, are transmitted from the first device to the second device. The second update identifier is stored in the first and the second device. The contents of the first update identifiers stored in the devices are updated in the first and the second device if synchronization has been performed and after this said transport layer connection has been ended substantially properly.

Abstract: A method for arranging a packet radio service in a wireless telecommunication system comprising at least one mobile station. The method comprises activating in the mobile station at least one packet data context for packet-switched data transmission of an application in the mobile station. In the mobile station, a busy condition is automatically set for the packet data context for suspension situations. When the packet data context in the mobile station is requested to be suspended, the packet data context is prevented from being suspended in response to the packet data context suspension request being received from outside the application.

Abstract: A management tree or nodes arranged hierarchically tree-like, respectively, is used to manage, contain and map information of a manageable device according to the SyncML DM protocol standard. A management server can request from such a device, by means of a GET command, information contained in a certain node of the management tree server. The manageable device responds by transmitting the requested information of the management tree. The inventive concept provides methods which allow a request of information not only from one single node but from a plurality of nodes at the same time. This leads to an efficient, time and cost saving management process.
