Automated script generation to update databases
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for updating a cellular site information database comprising cell site data, the method comprising:
- receiving a field input wherein the field input identifies a field type in the cellular site information database that is to be modified;
generating a skeleton script by searching a lookup table to find a skeleton script associated with the field type, wherein the skeleton script comprises a plurality of line commands to modify the field type identified by the field input;
receiving an input file comprising at least one device value and at least one filed value identifying the cell site data to be modified;
populating the skeleton script with the at least one device value and the at least one field value to generate a script; and
executing the script to update the cellular site information database.

Abstract
An automated script generation method to update databases in a cellular system is disclosed. Using an update application program, a user inputs a field of a cellular site information database that is to be modified. An update skeleton script is generated including all of the line commands necessary to update the field. The skeleton script is a file containing line commands to be executed. The skeleton script does not include device values or field values. An input file is generated by the user including the device that is to be changed and what the value of the identified field is to be changed to. The skeleton script is populated with the data from the input file to create a finalized script. The finalized script is run by a command handler application program to update the database.

9. A computer-implemented method for updating a form of a cellular site information database of a cellular system, the method comprising:
-
receiving a field input wherein the field input identifies a field type in the form that is to be modified;
locating a skeleton script by searching a lookup table to find a skeleton script associated with the field type, wherein the skeleton script comprises a plurality of line commands to modify the field type identified by the field input;
receiving an input file comprising at least one device value and at least one field value wherein the device value identifies a device and the field value identifies a value for the field type for a form associated with the device;
populating the skeleton script with the at least one device value and the at least one field value to generate a script; and
executing the script to update the cellular site information database. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
