Method and arrangement in a distributed system
First Claim
1. In a wireless telecommunications system, a method of synchronizing configuring data, which is utilized for proper operation of a base station and is stored in a base station database with corresponding configuring data stored in one or more source units each unit having a database for storing configuring data, the base station database and the source unit databases each being arranged in a single data group or a plurality of data groups within each database, the method comprising the steps of:
- calculating a reference checksum for each of the data groups in the base station database and the source unit database, wherein the data groups in the base station database correspond with the data groups in the one or more source units;
monitoring all base station data groups;
comparing a calculated checksum of each data group in the base station database to the reference checksum of each corresponding data group in the one or more source units; and
requesting a copy of the base station data group for which a mismatch is found, to be downloaded to the base station database from the corresponding one or more source units upon detecting a mismatch between the corresponding one or more source units data group'"'"'s reference checksum and the corresponding calculated checksum.

Abstract
A method and arrangement in a distributed system for synchronizing configuring data at a receiving unit with corresponding source configuring data. The configuring data and the source configuring data are arranged in one or preferably several groups of data. Reference checksums are calculated (201) for each data group. The receiving unit determines (202) whether the content in each data group of the configuring data at the receiving unit matches the corresponding reference checksum. The receiving unit requests (203) the source unit to transfer copies to the receiving unit of the source configuring data in those data groups for which a mismatch is detected. The requested data is downloaded (204) from the source unit to the receiving unit.

9. In a wireless telecommunications system, a system for synchronizing configuring data stored in a base station database with corresponding configuring data stored in a corresponding one or more source units database, the base station database and the corresponding one or more source units database each being arranged in a single data group or a plurality of data groups within each database, the system comprising:
-
means for calculating a reference checksum for each of the data groups in the base station database and the corresponding one or more source units database; means for monitoring all base station data groups; comparison means for comparing a calculated checksum of each data group in the base station database to the reference checksum of each corresponding data group in the corresponding one or more source units database; and means for requesting a copy of the corresponding one or more source units data group for which a mismatch is found, to be downloaded to the base station database from the corresponding source unit data group upon detecting a mismatch between the corresponding source unit data group'"'"'s reference checksum and the corresponding calculated checksum. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
