We claim:
1. A method (600) for managing parsing rules for at least one network element
5 in a communication network (104), the method (600) comprising steps of:
receiving, by a receiving unit (200), input from a user equipment
(UE) (106) pertaining to managing the parsing rules corresponding to the at
least one network element;
extracting, by a processing unit (206), at least one parsing rule
10 corresponding to at least one attribute associated with the at least one
network element from the received input;
validating, by the processing unit (206), the at least one extracted
parsing rule corresponding to the at least one attribute based on one or more
predefined validation rules;
15 upon validation of the at least one extracted parsing rule,
determining, by the processing unit (206), a presence of the at least one
parsing rule corresponding to the at least one attribute in a database (208);
and
managing, by the processing unit (206), at least one existing parsing
20 rule corresponding to the at least one attribute by performing a first set of
operations if the at least one parsing rule corresponding to the at least one
attribute for the at least one network element is present in the database (208).
2. The method (600) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one attribute
25 comprises an identifier, a parameter and a command.
3. The method (600) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one network
element is identified based on a unique identifier and an associated software
version.
4. The method (600) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first set of operations
comprises updating, deleting, and replacing.
