Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for managing and tracing processes of a service control point(SCP) is provided to manage and trace processes related to actual calls in the SCP of a communication system, and to perform information inquiry functions for a corresponding block, thereby enhancing the performance of the SCP. CONSTITUTION: When an operator inputs an information inquiry command for a process trace and a block with a man machine command(MMD), a message handler inside a service control point(SCP) collects information on related blocks. Whether a corresponding block exists is checked from the collected information, and a flag controlling a tracing operation is set to perform the tracing operation. Whether a previously opened section is equal to a presently inputted section according to the tracing operation is decided. If the sections are equal, a flag related to a block trace count is initialized to 0(zero), and the initial step is returned. If the sections are not equal, the existing section is closed and information on a newly traced block is configured, to perform the tracing operation. The flag related to the block trace count is sequentially increased by 1(one), and the tracing operation is repeated. When the tracing operation is completed, an originating number and flags related to a Cid are initialized to 0(zero).

Description

Process management and tracking method of service control equipment {Process management and tracking method of Service Control Point}

The present invention, in the service control equipment (hereinafter referred to as 'SCP') of the communication system, performs management and tracking functions for various processes related to the actual call execution, and is the source of the related process. It relates to the process management and trace method of SCP, which can perform information investigation function on the block.

In general, service providers are constantly striving for higher call quality to attract more customers.

As evidence of this effort, we seek to benefit customers and profitability by providing a higher level of call quality through higher performance process behavior than currently available processes.

On the other hand, SCP, which performs control operations throughout the services provided to subscribers by interworking with various systems such as switching centers in communication systems, uses process management and performance tracking methods to induce high performance process operations.

That is, the conventional process management and performance tracking method tracks only one process to track its processing.

However, the conventional process management and execution behavior tracking method as described above has a limitation in that only one process needs to be tracked. In particular, there is a problem in that it is difficult to understand the characteristics of the process because information on the corresponding block, which is the origin of the process, is insufficient.

Accordingly, when a problem occurs in actual call execution by the subscriber, a lot of time and effort have to be spent to pinpoint the cause.

In addition, although the tracking method is a general debugging (Debugging) technique for various processes due to the above problems, its utility has not been greatly recognized.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the purpose of which is to manage and track the various processes related to the actual call in the SCP of the communication system, the information about the block that is the origin of the related process It is to provide a process management and tracking method of SCP to improve the performance of SCP by inducing the optimization of higher performance process by performing investigation function.

20: SCP21: Call Processing Block

22: message handler 23: trace block

24: database handler 25: maintenance block

The process management and tracking method of the SCP of the present invention to achieve this purpose is to collect the information about the relevant block in the message handler in the SCP as soon as the operator inputs a process tracking and information investigation command on the block on the MMC After checking whether a block exists and setting a flag to control the tracking operation, the tracking operation is performed. If the previously opened section and the currently input section are the same, only the block trace count related flag is initialized to 0, If it is not the same section, close the existing section, configure the information of the new block to be traced, and then perform the tracking operation.After that, after the tracking operation is completed by repeating the tracking operation by sequentially increasing the block trace count related flag by 1 Caller ID or Cid related flags should be initialized to 0. The.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the process management and tracking method of SCP according to the present invention.

1 is a simplified block diagram of an SCP for performing a process management and tracking method according to the present invention, in which the call processing operation of the call processing block in the switching center 10 is linked to the call processing block in the switching center 10 of the communication system. A call processing block 21 for processing a call processing message generated according to the &lt; RTI ID = 0.0 &gt; and &lt; / RTI &gt; the SCP related to SCP call processing or data processing such as the call processing block 21, the database handler 24, and the maintenance block 25. A message handler 22 having a tracking block 23 for tracking a process in a process and examining information about the process and corresponding blocks in the process, and controlling the operation of a database. And a data base handler 24, and a maintenance block 25 that performs operation management and maintenance functions in the SCP.

The process management and tracking method performed in the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, when an operator inputs a process tracking command and an information search command for a corresponding block in a process on a man machine command (S1), the command is input to the message handler 22.

Subsequently, the message handler 22 collects information on a related block to be examined (S2) to check whether a corresponding block exists in the process, and then controls a tracking operation in the tracking block 23. Set and delegate all operations to the actual related process (S3).

Accordingly, in the tracking block of the process, the values of the flags related thereto are determined to enable tracking by calling number or Cid, and then the tracking operation is performed (S4).

At this time, it is determined whether the previously opened section and the currently input section are the same (S5), and in the case of the same section, initializes only the block trace count related flag to 0 (S10) and returns to the initial stage (S1). If the same section is not the case, close the existing section and configure the information of the newly tracked block (S6), and then perform the tracking operation (S7).

Thereafter, the tracking operation is repeated while sequentially increasing the block tracking count related flag by 1 (S8), and after the successful completion of the tracking operation, the calling number or the Cid related flags are initialized to 0 (S9).

In the present invention, the Initial Date (Block Code Size), Block Start Date (Execution Time), Process (CPU) Processing Time, and Various Transactions and Activation of Related Processes It can provide clear information about any desired process by investigating (Activation) and showing it on the screen in real time.

In addition, it performs a preset tracking operation step by step according to the actual call performed by the subscriber or a specific simulator (Simulator) operation, and can perform a perfect tracking function through parallel with the command for examining the block information.

As a result, more accurate debugging of related processes becomes possible, and it can contribute to the improvement of SCP performance by inducing successful call connection and execution.

As described above, the present invention can improve the performance of the SCP by inducing process optimization by implementing advanced management and tracking functions in the SCP, and inducing a higher performance process operation to improve the quality of service. By contributing, it can attract more customers than other companies and greatly benefit our system delivery.
