WE CLAIM:
1. A method (500) for managing one or more configuration updates in a network
(106), the method (500) comprising:
5 retrieving (502), by a retrieving module (212), one or more real-time
configuration change parameters from at least one of a plurality of Element
Management Systems (EMSs) at a predefined time interval;
storing (504), by a processing module (216), the retrieved one or more
real-time configuration change parameters in a transient repository;
10 processing (506), by the processing module (216), the one or more realtime configuration change parameters stored in the transient repository to create
a single update event; and
updating (508), by an updating module (218), a central repository with
the created single update event to reflect one or more real-time configuration
15 updates in at least one network node of the at least one EMS within the central
repository.
2. The method (500) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the created single update
event considers a last incremental change among one or more incremental
20 changes that occur in at least one real-time configuration change parameter over
the predefined time interval as a final value for the corresponding real-time
configuration change parameter, and wherein the created single update event
captures each real-time configuration change that occurs in the at least one
network node of the at least one EMS over the predefined time interval.
25
3. The method (500) as claimed in claim 1, wherein processing the one or more
real-time configuration change parameters comprising:
49
categorizing, by a categorizing module (214), each of the one or more
real-time configuration change parameters stored in the transient repository into
a predefined category using a categorization technique; and
storing, by the categorizing module (214), each of the categorized one
5 or more real-time configuration change parameters into a Distributed File
System (DFS).
