Data synchronization in a telecommunication management network
First Claim
1. A method of synchronizing network management data among network elements of a telecommunication management network, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first data set from a first network element of the telecommunication management network;
receiving a second data set from a second network element of the telecommunication management network;
processing the first data set to identify a first object in the first data set;
processing the first object and the second data set based on mapping rules to identify a second object in the second data set associated with the first object in the first data set;
processing the first object and the second object based on the mapping rules to map the first object to the second object;
processing the first object and the second object as mapped to identify differences between the first object and the second object; and
generating information indicating the differences between the first object and the second object.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and software are disclosed for synchronizing data among network elements of a telecommunication management network. In a data synchronization system, a mapping system receives a first data set from a first network element and receives a second data set from a second network element. The mapping system processes the first data set to identify a first object, and processes the first object based on mapping rules to identify an associated second object in the second data set, and map the first object and the second object. A comparison system then processes the first object and the second object as mapped to identify differences between the objects, and generates information indicating the differences. An alignment system processes the first object and the information indicating the differences to generate new object data used to adjust the first object stored in the first network element.

15. A software product for synchronizing network management data among network elements of a telecommunication management network, the software product comprising:
-
mapping instructions when executed by a processing system that receive a first data set from a first network element of the telecommunication management network, receive a second data set from a second network element of the telecommunication management network, process the first data set to identify a first object in the first data set, process the first object and the second data set based on mapping rules to identify a second object in the second data set associated with the first object of the first data set, and process the first object and the second object based on the mapping rules to map the first object to the second object;
comparison instructions when executed by the processing system that process the first object and the second object as mapped to identify differences between the first object and the second object, and generate information indicating the differences between the first object and the second object; and
computer-readable media that stores the mapping instructions and the comparison instructions. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
