Abstract

It relates to how to add new functions or functions related to operation and maintenance while maintaining the operation status in the exchange system.

Create and send a DOD file for adding a function, check whether the registered class exists by receiving the transmitted file, and create an object when the registered class exists to execute a new function or a new function. Register during system operation.

Description

How to add new functions while operating in exchange system {METHOD FOR EDITING RUN-TIME EXTENSIBILITY FOR OPERATION, ADMINISTRATION, MAINTENANCE AND PROVISIONING SERVICES IN EXCHANGE SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a method of adding a function of an exchange system, and more particularly, to a method of adding a new function or a function related to operation and maintenance while maintaining an operation state in an exchange system.

The exchange system currently used in the public network must stop the system in order to add new functions at the request of the operator, or to add new functions to the operating system due to problems in system operation. After that, the system was restarted to add new functions.

In this way, the conventional exchange system stops the system when adding a new function, so the customer should be notified of the system stop in advance, and the subscriber's access to the exchange system is performed using the least time. There was a problem of loss and manpower loss.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for adding a new function during operation without stopping the system in the exchange system to solve the above problems.

2 is a control flowchart for adding a function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram of an exchange system for adding a new function applied to an embodiment of the present invention.

The SEC (Service Creation) 10 is a terminal for creating a DOD (Dynamically DefinedObject) file for a function to be added. The Service Management Environment (SMF) 12 manages the DOD file created from the SEC 10. The CP Processing Processing Intelligence Node (MIN) 14 is responsible for call processing. Operation Administration Maintenance and Provisioning Call Processing Managed Intelligence Node (OAM & P MIN) (16) includes a Management Excecuition Information Respository (MECIR) that holds data for all classes of OAM & P, and is responsible for the operational maintenance of exchanges, and CP MIN (14) Receives the function addition file, determines whether the class exists, and registers the added function. The functions provided in the OAM & P MIN 16 include, for example, command processing functions, event processing functions, fault handling functions, and other OAM & P functions.

2 is a control flowchart for adding a function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 to 2, the operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In step 101, the operator uses the SCE (10) to create a class definition for the object he wants to add online for each OAM & P function in advance so as to accommodate the creation request of the object requested online. The DOD file is created by specifying the value that the object should have according to the predefined form in the function to add. Then, in step 102, the SCE 10 transmits the generated DOD file to the SMF 12, and the SMF 12 converts the file into a serial file and transmits it to the CP MIN 14. In step 103, the CP MIN 14 converts the file having the SERIAL extension into a file having the extension ini and transfers the file to the MECIR of the OAM & P MIN 16. The ini file transmitted to the MECIR is, for example, as follows.

[DynamicObjectDefinition * Event: OAM & P-AdminStateChange.OAMP]

_appDFDGroup = <DynamicObjectDefinition * AppDFDGroup: StateControllApplicationGroup.OAMP>

_catName = <DynamicObjectDefinition * EventCategoryAdministration>

-defaultThreshold = 1

_description = 'Administrative state was changed an Uicommand'

_id = 'oam & p-AdminStateChange.OAMP'

_optSysDFDroup = <DynamicObjectDefinition * optDFDGroup: MIPSoftwareSystemGroup>

_reqSysDFDGroup = <DynamicObjectDefinition * ReqDFDGroup>

[DynamicObjectDefinition * DataFieldDescriptor: _Reporting-Process-id]

_dFDHelp = ''

_dataType = 'OString'

_description = ''

_displyInfo = ''

_name = '_ Resorting-Precess-id'

_systemUpdateFlag = Yes

Then, in step 104, the MECRI checks whether the class for the delivered DOD file exists and proceeds to step 105 if the class does not exist. In step 105, the exception processing routine is notified. However, if there is a class for the delivered DOD file, the flow proceeds to step 106 where the MECIR of the OAM & P MIN 16 creates the object of the corresponding function using the delivered DOD value and registers the added function. In step 107, the registered function is operated, and in step 108, an application result, that is, a result of object existence or not, is output to the user.

As described above, if a new function is added during operation in the switching system, the new function can be added without stopping the system. Therefore, there is no need to notify the customer about the system stoppage beforehand. This eliminates the need to spend the least amount of time, which saves time and manpower.

Claims (2)
