QUERY SUPPORTING INTERFACE BETWEEN A CUSTOMER ADMINISTRATIVESYSTEM AND DATABASE NETWORK ELEMENTS OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

A customer administrative system (24) of a wireless communications system (20) is interfaced (22) with one or more system database network elements (26) to support not only transaction oriented (28) communications, but also query oriented (30) communications. Logic is included in the interface to process (42) and translate (48) search request queries (40) for database network element handling. Results of any searches performed in response to the queries are returned to the interface. The logic then collects the information comprising the results of the searches, and supports file transfer of the collected information to the requesting customer administrative system.
