The Management Services API defines Application Programming Interfaces
which provide a set of services for the management of the objects in a
heterogeneous, multivendor distributed computing environment.

The Management Services API is designed to allow for the development of
portable management applications.  The Management Services API insulate 
management application developers from the details of the management
protocol and from the transport services used to route the management
directives to the managed objects.  It provides facilities to manage
both local and remote objects in a seamless fashion.
