Abstract
A computer implemented method for managing entities in a computer system. The method includes relating the managed entities and sub-entities each with a node into a hierarchical tree structure defined in a common information model with a tree root and child associations, traversing the tree structure until the tree root and all of the child associations are encountered and determining an origination of each managed entity based on the associations encountered for at least one of adding, deleing or revising information associated with the node for dynamically propagating a status of the managed entities of the hierarchical tree structure.
