A computer-implemented method includes determining a key set of properties. Based on the key set, a plurality of keys are generated for a plurality of objects, where the plurality of keys include a respective key for each object based on a value associated with the object for each property in the key set. A request is received to search for matching objects having a set of desired values for a desired set of properties, where the desired set of properties are a subset of the key set and exclude one or more properties in the key set. A Bloom filter search is performed on the plurality of objects. The Bloom filter search is based on the set of desired values for the desired set of properties and further based on the plurality of keys that are based on the key set. The matching objects are identified from the search.

Building and using an atomic key with partial key searching capability

In one embodiment, a computer program product for using a common configuration template for a set of devices includes a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code including computer readable program code configured for identifying a set of devices from the plurality of devices which share a common configuration template applicable to a proposed change, wherein the common configuration template includes a collection of command variations, computer readable program code configured for determining which command from the collection of command variations is applicable to each device in the set of devices, and computer readable program code configured for executing the proposed change across all devices in the set of devices using the determined command for each device.

Configuration command template creation assistant using cross-model analysis to identify common syntax and semantics

In one embodiment, a method for using a common configuration template for a set of devices includes identifying a set of devices from the plurality of devices which share a common configuration template applicable to a proposed change, wherein the common configuration template includes a collection of command variations, determining which command from the collection of command variations is applicable to each device in the set of devices, and executing the proposed change across all devices in the set of devices using the determined command for each device.

In one embodiment, a computer program product for creating a configuration template for a set of devices includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable/executable by a hardware processor to cause the processor to separate, by the processor, existing syntactic models describing syntax from existing semantic models describing semantics prior to determining a command information and determine, by the processor, the command information for a plurality of devices. The program instructions also cause the processor to identify, by the processor, a command structure from the command information which is common to a set of devices from the plurality of devices, and associate, by the processor, the set of devices to a common configuration template.

In one embodiment, a method for creating a configuration template for a set of devices includes determining command information for a plurality of devices, identifying a command structure from the command information which is common to a set of devices from the plurality of devices, and associating the set of devices to a common configuration template.

An intelligent network provisioning system ( ) has a client platform ( ) with a user interface for order entry. A server platform ( ) is connected to the client platform ( ) by a network ( ). The server platform ( ) is capable of sending a query to a calling card provisioning system ( ). An application server ( ) upon receiving an order from the server platform ( ) downloads the order to the intelligent network ( ) and transmits a state change message to the server platform ( ).

Intelligent network provisioning system and method

A method of setting up a conference has the following steps: 1) selecting a conference bridge (,) and a conference number; 2) dialing a conference number; 3) when a private branch exchange (,) seizes an off-network trunk (,), receiving the conference number at a interexchange carrier service switching point; 4) routing the conference call to a local exchange carrier service switching point (,); 5) routing the conference call over a dedicated access line (,) to an on-network service switching point (,); 6) triggering on the conference call at the on-network service switching point (,); 7) sending a query to a service control point (,); 8) receiving a routing instructions from the service control point (,); and 9) routing the conference call to the conference bridge (,).
