ISVs, Integrators, and Enterprises can build application, system, and network management solutions.
Service Providers can build Operation Support Systems (OSS).

Learning Path

The best way to understand features of WebNMS Framework and how to customize them is to follow this reading sequence.

Go through the WebNMS Architecture in 'Quick Tour' to get an overall picture of how WebNMS has been built and what are its core components.
Next, work with the Tutorials (eBon or EMS) that guide you to design an EMS. Enriched with working, illustrative examples, these Tutorials help you understand the choices to be made during development. In addition, the Javadocs for the WebNMS APIs provide an insight to the different packages, interfaces, classes and methods, and will be of great assistance when you extend and customize WebNMS.
Refer to the documents 'User Guide' , 'Administrator Guide' and 'Developer Guide' to understand various features in WebNMS. If the feature has been implemented with the User Interface, this helps you to first learn through Client UI rather than Code (API).
Users of WebNMS 4.7 can refer to the 'Migration Guide' to understand the procedures involved to upgrade their customizations / projects to the current version WebNMS 5.

Note: Please download the latest help manuals from the Web Site. Extract the zip under <Web NMS Home> directory. User Guide, Administrator Guide, and Developer Guide are referred for Context Sensitive Help. For all the links to work in this page, you need to have downloaded the help files.
