Abstract
This invention uses a computer program to mine preexisting intelligent network data located in a variety of preexisting source intelligent network databases. The computer program either creates a new intelligent network database from parts of existing intelligent network databases or modifies an existing intelligent network database. The computer program replaces the current system'"'"'s reliance upon manual data entry by data engineers to configure the operation of a new telecommunication switch or replace the software in a telecommunication switch that was damaged or requires a new intelligent network data configuration.
