Abstract
A method and arrangement in a User Data Repository, UDR, () for selecting an Application Front End (-) in a communication network to receive an event notification. An associated Application Type and Group Identifier, identifying an accessible portion of the network, are stored in a database () for each of a plurality of Application Front Ends. The Group Identifiers may be updated in the database if predefined conditions () are met, for example when a UDR operation requests modifying user data. When a subsequent event notification procedure is initiated, the UDR () selects an Application FE to receive the event notification based on the Application Type and Group Identifier of the selected Application FE. Load-distribution weights may also be assigned to each of the Application FEs, and may be considered in the selection process.
