Abstract
An agent collecting management data from the resource operating in the managed network to form a management data set and identifies segregated regions of management data within the management data set. Each segregated region is a respective partial transitive closure of the collected management data taken over a graph representing the entire management data set. For each segregated region of management data, the agent partitions that segregated region of management data into a set of logical partitions and transfers each logical partition of the segregated region of management data to a network management application in the managed network for access by the network management application. A network management application receives the partitions and only needs to keep objects in memory related to partitions that are currently received and being processed thus saving memory and processing resources.
