Query supporting interface between a customer administrative system and database network elements in a telecommunications system
First Claim
1. An interface between a customer administrative system and a plurality of database network elements of a wireless communications system, the database network elements storing both permanent data and temporary data, comprising:
- first logic for supporting transaction oriented communications addressed by the customer administrative system to a selected one of the plurality of database network elements in order to administer the stored permanent data; and
second logic for supporting query oriented communications sent by the customer administrative system to the interface, the second logic operating to determine for an individual query oriented communication sent to the interface which plural database network elements should be contacted in connection with handling the individual query oriented communication to administer the stored permanent data, and then send the individual query oriented communication on to those plural identified database network elements,wherein the second logic further functions to;
receive a search request sent from the customer administrative system to the interface;
identify based on the search request which plural ones of the plurality of database network elements must be queried in order to respond to the search request;
translate the search request into corresponding plural database queries each specifically tailored for an identified one of the database network elements; and
apply the database queries to the identified plural database network elements for processing.

Abstract
A customer administrative system of a wireless communications system is interfaced with one or more system database network elements to support not only transaction oriented communications, but also query oriented communications. Logic is included in the interface to process and translate search request queries for database network element handling. Results of any searches performed in response to the queries are returned to the interface. The logic then collects the information comprising the results of the searches, and supports file transfer of the collected information to the requesting customer administrative system.

11. A method for interfacing a customer administrative system and a plurality of database network elements of a wireless communications system to support query oriented communications, the database network elements storing permanent data and temporary data, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a search request sent by the customer administrative system to the interface concerning the administration of the permanently stored data; identifying based on the search request which plural ones of the database network elements must be queried in order to respond to the search request; translating the search request into corresponding plural database queries each specifically tailored for one of the identified plural database network elements; and applying the plural database queries to the identified plural database network elements for processing to administer the permanently stored data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
