System and method for verifying integrity of replicated databases
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to verify the integrity of replicated databases in a telecommunications network, comprising the steps of:
- determining a checksum for a first database after performing a series of changes on the first database;
determining a checksum for each of at least one second database after performing the series of changes on each second database;
comparing the checksum for the first database to the checksum for each second database; and
storing the changes made to a specific second database if the checksum for the first database matches the checksum for the specific second database.

Abstract
A method to verify the integrity of replicated databases that includes the steps of determining a checksum for a first database after updating the first database, determining a checksum for each of a number of second databases after updating each of the second databases, and comparing the checksums for the first database to that of each of the second databases to verify the integrity of each of the second databases.

10. A method to verify the integrity of replicated databases in a telecommunications network, comprising the steps of:
-
determining a beginning checksum for a first database before a series of changes are made to the first database; determining an ending checksum for the first database after the series of changes are made to the first database; determining a beginning checksum for each of at least one second database before the series of changes are made to each second database; determining an ending checksum for each second database after the series of changes are made to the second database; and comparing the beginning and ending checksums determined for the first database to the corresponding beginning and ending checksums for each of the second databases before storing the changes to each of the second databases. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for verifying the integrity of replicated databases in a telecommunications network, comprising:
-
a first checksum calculator for a first database, wherein the first checksum calculator is operable to calculate a checksum of the first database; at least one second database, each having an associated second checksum calculator, wherein the second checksum calculator is operable to calculate a checksum of the associated second database; and at least one checksum comparator, each associated with a second database, wherein each checksum comparator is operable to compare the checksum of the first database to the checksum of the second database to determine whether they are the same. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
