  • Method and apparatus for analyzing the progress of a software upgrade on a telecommunications switch
    Patent number: 6691300
    Abstract: A method is provided for monitoring the progress of a software upgrade or retrofit on a telecommunications switch (110). A report stream of text messages relating to the state of, and events occurring on, the telecommunications switch is received by a server (102). Predetermined messages are detected in the report stream, including messages indicating entry into a stage of the retrofit, exit from a stage of the retrofit, a failure of a stage of the retrofit, alarms and errors. The time spent in a stage of the retrofit is determined and compared against an expected time (206, 210, 212). A visual portion (300, 400) of a user interface on a client (104) is updated to reflect entry and exit from a stage of the retrofit, and whether the time spent in a stage exceeds an expected time. The user interface reflects occurrences of alarms and errors visually and in some cases audibly.
