  • Publication number: 20100037126
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage mediums for database management services for a telecommunications system are provided. A method includes transferring, via a managed language application, raw data extracted from a legacy system to a first spreadsheet application macro. The method also includes merging, via the first spreadsheet application macro, selected portions of the raw data, and creating a first spreadsheet file that includes the merged data. The merged data relates each physical and virtual fiber of the telecommunications system to the merged data. The method further includes transferring, via the managed language application, the first spreadsheet file to another spreadsheet application macro, and generating, via the other spreadsheet application macro, a graphical drawing comprising a cable ring that includes fiber routes and telecommunications equipment. The graphical drawing is generated using the merged data.

  • Patent number: 7636351
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method, system, and storage medium for providing database management services for a telecommunications system. The method includes extracting a first set of raw data from a legacy system relating to telecommunications transmission lines via a first routine of a network planning application. The method further includes extracting a second set of raw data from the legacy system relating to telecommunications equipment via a second routine of a network planning application. The method also includes extracting a third set of raw data from the legacy system relating to telecommunications wavelength division multiplexing data via a third routine of the network planning application. The method also includes generating a first spreadsheet file comprising data selected and combined by the first spreadsheet application macro. Utilizing a managed language application, the third set of raw data is also used by a second application macro to create a second spreadsheet application.
