Abstract
In a system managing method and apparatus, a load applied to a common processing unit is decreased so as to improve a managing ability of the system. The system managing apparatus manages a system having a plurality of interfaces including a managed object interface and a non-managed object interface, the managed object interface handling resources as managed objects, the non-managed object interface handling resources as non-managed objects. A common processing unit performs operations common to the plurality of interfaces. A managed object interface agent is connected to the managed object interface so as to manage pointer attributes independently of the common processing unit. A non-managed object interface agent is connected to the non-managed object interface. The managed object interface agent includes a knowledge database and an agent database. The knowledge database stores information regarding a pointing instance and a pointed instance defined in each pointer attribute. The agent database holds the resources as instances of the managed object type so as to delete, add or update a value of each pointer attribute according to a process request.
