Service provisioning system
First Claim
1. A method of providing service data towards a set of two or more network elements of a telecommunication network, in particular to a set of two or more signaling transfer points, wherein a service provisioning system receives a plurality of change requests for said service data, the change request concerning one or more of the network elements of the set of network elements, and transmitting update commands relating to the change requests to one or more network elements of the set of two or more network elements, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- analyzing the dependencies of two or more change requests and/or corresponding network elements specific update requests with respect to service data;
aggregating independent change requests and/or update requests; and
transmitting from the service provisioning system to one or more network elements of the set of two or more network elements one or more concurrent update commands that forces a parallel execution of the aggregated change requests and/or update requests.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method of providing service data towards a set of two or more network elements (31 to 35) of a telecommunication network (1), as well as a service provisioning system (2) and a computer program product for executing this method. The service provisioning system (2) receives a plurality of change requests for said service data, the change request concerning one or more of the network elements of the telecommunication network (1). The service provisioning system (2) analyzes the dependencies of two or more received change requests and/or corresponding network elements specific update requests with respect to service data. Then, it aggregates independent change requests and/or update requests and transmits one or more concurrent update commands that force a parallel execution of the aggregated change requests and/or update requests to one or more network elements of the telecommunication network (1).

9. A service provisioning system for providing service data towards a set of two or more network elements of a telecommunication network, in particular towards a set of two or more signaling transfer points, wherein the service provisioning system comprises communication means for receiving a plurality of change requests for said service data, the change requests concerning one or more of the network elements of the set of network elements, and communication means for transmitting update commands relating to the change requests to one or more network elements of the set of two or more network elements, wherein the service provisioning system comprises a control unit for analyzing the dependencies of two or more change requests and/or corresponding network element specific update requests with respect to service data, aggregating independent change requests and/or update requests, and transmitting to one or several network elements of the set of network elements one or more concurrent update commands that forces a parallel execution of the aggregated change requests and/or update requests.

10. A computer program product for providing service data towards a set of two or more network elements of a telecommunication network, in particular to a set of two or more signaling transfer points, wherein the computer program product, when executed by a service provisioning system, performs the steps of:
-
receiving a plurality of change requests for said service data, the change requests concerning one or several of the network elements of the set of network elements;
analyzing the dependencies of two or more change requests and/or corresponding network elements specific update requests with respect to service data;
aggregating independent change requests and/or update requests; and
transmitting from the service provisioning system to one or several network elements of the set of network elements one or more concurrent update commands that force(s) a parallel execution of the aggregated change requests and/or update requests.
