The present document is part of a TS-family covering the 3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical Specification Group Services and System Aspects; Telecommunication management; as identified below:

• 32.311: Generic Integration Reference Point (IRP) management; Requirements
• 32.312: Generic Integration Reference Point (IRP) management; Information Service (IS)
• 32.316: Generic Integration Reference Point (IRP) management; Solution Set (SS) Definitions

The Itf-N interface is built up by a number of IRPs and a related Name Convention, which realise the functional capabilities over this interface. The basic structure of the IRPs is defined in TS 32.101 and TS 32.102. All IRPs support a set of generic features. Those features allow to retrieve IRP profile and IRP supported versions. The present document contains the specification of those generic features.

The purpose of the present document is to define a common service supported by all IRPs such as AlarmIRP. The present document is the "Information Service" part. It defines, for the purpose of supporting the common service, the information observable and controllable by management system's client (i.e. IRPManager) via the Itf-N. It also specifies the semantics of and the interactions used to carry this information. With this common service supported by all IRPs, an IRPManager can retrieve the profile of operations and notifications supported by a given IRP name-contained by an IRPAgent. An IRPManager can also retrieve the IRPVersions supported by a given IRP.
