Abstract: A system and method for supporting and managing telecommunications services in a telecommunications network includes a management information base builder toolkit (66, 110) for specifying object definitions in an object-oriented framework of a plurality of managed objects (112) that model resources (64) within the telecommunications network. The toolkit (66, 110) is used to construct a master management information base (70, 116) for storing the object definitions of the plurality of managed objects (112).

Abstract: A system and method (10) for commissioning telecommunications services includes an SLP toolkit (13) for building a service logic program (15), and an SPM toolkit (19) for building a service management program (21), where the service management program (21) implements a support service for the service logic program (15). A distribution network node (16) is used to receive and distribute the service logic program (15) and service management program (21) to a service logic execution environment (20, 92) residing in a telecommunications network node (30, 32, 34, 36, 50) for executing the service logic program (15), and to a management logic execution environment (22, 86, 94, 102) for executing the service management program (21).
