  • System and method for network element database population
    Patent number: 7277882
    Abstract: In an illustrative method for populating a database for use in automated administration of network elements, data that describes network elements in a telecommunication system is aggregated from existing systems. The aggregated data is formatted for loading into the telecommunication system. The formatting may include, for example, creating circuit data that identifies circuits, or groupings, that exist in the telecommunication system. The formatting may also comprise formatting network element data to conform to a new database format. Thereafter, the network element data is loaded into the new database. This step may comprise loading the circuit data and the network element data. Finally, the results of the load operation, including any error messages, are retrieved.
