Abstract: Methods create restoration log records in a restoration log in a computer system which includes software and hardware resources and a data base containing software representations of the resources, which can be exposed to operations from a process associated with the data system or from an operations system for the data system. A restoration log record shall reflect an updating of a resource representation performed from the process or from the operations system. For enabling conditional creation of a log record in the restoration log in case of an operation directed towards the resource representation, each resource representation is provided with logging information indicating whether an updating of the resource representation shall be logged in the restoration log.

Abstract: A network element included in a telecommunication system contains several nodes (1226, 1232, 1234, 1236, 1238) which are included in a system internal to this network element and provides internal network element functions in an internal bearer service network, and internal resources in the form of hardware and software which are used for performing the internal network element functions.The network element can offer an operations system a "white box" view, implying that internal resources are available to this operations system, enabling it to use managed objects representing the internal resources in order to manage the resources according to a second management information model in connection with using them for performing internal network element functions.

Abstract: A network element in a telecommunication network providing a number of different types of services, supports several telecommunication network applications (1304, 1306). It furthermore contains system resources and management information software. This software includes application specific management information and management information for system resources common to the applications, and is available to an operations system for managing the system resources when they are to be used. All of said management information is organized, from the point of view of naming, in several application specific management information bases each in the form of a respective hierarchical tree structure (1310, 1312).
