Abstract

A method and system are provided for updating call-specific data in a database associated with operation of a wireless network. The method includes receiving user input related to a Lucent ECP form, and one or more fields of the form, for which changes are desired. The method also includes generating a script to update the form by identifying one or more values associated with call-specific data in the wireless network. The method also includes creating an apxrcv script based on the user input and the values associated with the call-specific data. Finally, the method involves executing the apxrcv script to update the form. This method can also be implemented in a system or on a computer-readable medium.

Claims

1. A method for updating call-specific data in a database associated with operation of a wireless network, said method comprising:

identifying as user input a Lucent Executive Cellular Processor (ECP) form and one or more fields associated with said form for which changes are desired;

generating a script to update said form, said generating step including identifying one or more values associated with said call-specific data of said wireless network;

creating an Autoplex 1000 database management (apxrcv) script based on said user input and said one or more values associated with said call-specific data; and

executing said apxrcv script to update said form.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising logging any errors while running said script in an error file.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising obtaining one or more key fields corresponding to said one or more fields in said form.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said identifying step further comprises entering multiple fields for update in said form.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising executing said script in check mode to identify errors in said form without updating any of said fields in said form.

6. A computer-readable medium containing instructions for updating call-specific data in a database associated with operation of a wireless network, said medium comprising:

instructions for retrieving as user input a Lucent Executive Cellular Processor (ECP) form and one or more fields associated with said form for which changes are desired;

instructions for generating a script to update said form, said generating instructions including instructions for identifying one or more values associated with said call-specific data of said wireless network;

instructions for creating an Autoplex 1000 database management (apxrcv) script based on said user input and said one or more values associated with said call-specific data; and

instructions for executing said apxrcv script to update said form.

7. The medium of claim 6, further comprising instructions for logging any errors while executing said script in an error file.

8. The medium of claim 6, further comprising instructions for obtaining one or more key fields corresponding to said one or more fields in said form.

9. The medium of claim 6, wherein said instructions for identifying further comprise instructions for receiving multiple fields for update in said form.

10. The medium of claim 6, further comprising instructions for executing said script in check mode to identify errors in said form without updating any of said fields in said form.

11. A system for updating call-specific data in a database associated with operation of a wireless network, said system comprising:

a user input device for identifying a Lucent Executive Cellular Processor (ECP) form and one or more fields associated with said form for which changes are desired;

a processor for generating a script to update said form, said processor being programmed for identifying one or more values associated with said call-specific data of said wireless network;

a memory containing an Autoplex 1000 database management (apxrcv) script generated from said user input and said one or more values associated with said call-specific data; and

a processor for executing said apxrcv script to update said form.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising an error log.

13. A method for updating call-specific data in a database associated with operation of a wireless network, said method comprising:

identifying as user input a Lucent Executive Cellular Processor (ECP) form and one or more fields associated with said form for which changes are desired, wherein said form is selected from the group consisting of cell2, ceqcom2, ceqface, ceqsu2, ctm, dcch, ecp, fci, resel and tpptm;

generating a script to update said form, said generating step including identifying one or more values associated with said call-specific data of said wireless network;

creating an Autoplex 1000 database management (apxrcv) script based on said user input and said one or more values associated with said call-specific data; and

executing said apxrcv script to update said form.

14. A method for updating call-specific data in a database associated with operation of a wireless network, said method comprising:

identifying as user input a Lucent Executive Cellular Processor (ECP) form and one or more fields associated with said form for which changes are desired;

generating a script to update said form, said generating step including identifying one or more values associated with said call-specific data of said wireless network;

creating an Autoplex 1000 database management (apxrcv) script based on said user input and said one or more values associated with said call-specific data;

executing said apxrcv script to update said form; and

entering one or more form names into an Operations and Management Platform/Executive Cellular Processor (OMP/ECP) configuration to obtain any field names associated with said form names.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising displaying said field names.

16. A computer-readable medium containing instructions for updating call-specific data in a database associated with operation of a wireless network, said medium comprising:

instructions for retrieving as user input a Lucent Executive Cellular Processor (ECP) form and one or more fields associated with said form for which changes are desired, wherein said form is selected from the group consisting of cell2, ceqcom2, ceqface, ceqsu2, ctm, dcch, ecp, fci, resel and tpptm;

instructions for generating a script to update said form, said generating instructions including instructions for identifying one or more values associated with said call-specific data of said wireless network;

instructions for creating an Autoplex 1000 database management (apxrcv) script based on said user input and said one or more values associated with said call-specific data; and

instructions for executing said apxrcv script to update said form.

17. A computer-readable medium containing instructions for updating call-specific data in a database associated with operation of a wireless network, said medium comprising:

instructions for retrieving as user input a Lucent Executive Cellular Processor (ECP) form and one or more fields associated with said form for which changes are desired;

instructions for generating a script to update said form, said generating instructions including instructions for identifying one or more values associated with said call-specific data of said wireless network;

instructions for creating an Autoplex 1000 database management (apxrcv) script based on said user input and said one or more values associated with said call-specific data;
