Method for modifying system configuration data sets in a telecommunications switching system

U.S. Patent Number: 5390335

Abstract: A method for modifying system configuration data sets in a telecommunications switching system that has first function modules (SWU-ADS) for processing switching-oriented and/or administration and maintenance procedures and second peripheral function modules (VMS, ETB) for realizing supplementary performance features. For producing data consistency, backup copies are produced of the content of at least a part of the databases and administration and maintenance commands that modify database contents and that are subsequently input into the system, are listed in the form of command information in the chronological sequence of their occurrence. Every command information is supplemented with a database-associated information that indicates the implementation or non-implementation of the respective administration and maintenance command. The method enables data consistency both in those cases wherein peripheral function modules are temporarily disconnected from the system as well as in those cases wherein new peripheral function modules are to be later connected to the system for a first time.
