Abstract: An Over-The-Air (OTA) Platform for TR-069 devices to manage vendor-specific configuration and firmware. A server establishes a TR-069 session with a client device, receives a first request from the client device to download a vendor configuration file, and sends a first target file name of the vendor configuration file to the client device. The server receives a first notification that the vendor configuration file has been downloaded by the client device, receives a second request from the client device to download a firmware image identified by the vendor configuration file, sends a second target file name identifying the firmware image, and receives a second notification from the client device that the firmware image was downloaded and was successfully applied by the client device. The server sends a third notification to the client device acknowledging that the firmware image was successfully applied by the client device.

Abstract: A system and method provide for automated management of policies in an application platform. A plurality of policy groups are established, each according to a set of included policies and a set of assigned application groups, where each policy defines a requirement and an automated response, and each application group is defined according to a rule to determine whether an application is contained within. A configuration file for each policy group associates each assigned application group with each included policy. An automatic configuration, according to the configuration file for each of the policy groups, configures an admission controller of the application platform to selectively test an application contained within an application group and designated for deployment to the application platform, to determine whether it meets the requirement of each policy associated with the application group, and to selectively execute the automated response based on a failure to fulfill the requirement.
