Controlling data collection, manipulation and storage on a network with service assurance capabilities

1. A method for controlling a collection, manipulation and storage of network performance data and network event data of a network with service assurance capabilities, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving an activation signal;

(b) transmitting a first signal to initiate retrieval of network performance data and network event data, wherein the network performance and network event data are generated from a network-monitor that monitors a network system and then relocates the data into a common directory;

(c) transmitting a second signal to initiate manipulation of the data and loading of the manipulated data into a database;

(d) transmitting a third signal to initiate a clean archive program for deleting files from an archive directory;

(e) transmitting a fourth signal to initiate a table extract program for extracting data from tables stored in the database;

(f) transmitting a fifth signal to initiate a trigger reporting program for generating reports;

(g) transmitting a sixth signal to initiate a purge record program for deleting records from the database; and

(h) transmitting a seventh signal to initiate a database backup program for backing up data stored on the database.

2. A method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising: initiating a a controller program.

3. A method as recited in claim 2 , wherein the controller program transmits an eighth signal to initiate calculation of statistics from the data.

4. A method as recited in claim 3 , wherein the controller program transmits a ninth signal to initiate assigning of key codes to the data.

5. A method as recited in claim 4 , wherein the controller program transmits a tenth signal to initiate sorting of the data.

6. A method as recited in claim 5 , wherein the controller program transmits an eleventh signal to initiate concatenating of the data.

7. A method as recited in claim 6 , wherein the controller program transmits a twelfth signal to initiate loading of the data into the database.

8. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for controlling a collection, manipulation and storage of network performance data and network event data of a network with service assurance capabilities, comprising:

(a) a code segment for receiving an activation signal;

(b) a code segment for transmitting a first signal to initiate retrieval of network performance data and network event data, wherein the network performance and network event data are generated from a network-monitor that monitors network system and then relocates the data into a common directory;

(c) a code segment for transmitting a second signal to initiate manipulation of the data and loading of the manipulated data into a database;

(d) a code segment for transmitting a third signal to initiate a clean archive program for deleting files from an archive directory;

(e) a code segment for transmitting a fourth signal to initiate a table extract program for extracting data from tables stored in the database;

(f) a code segment for transmitting a fifth signal to initiate a trigger reporting program for generating reports;

(g) a code segment for transmitting a sixth signal to initiate a purge record program for deleting records from the database; and

(h) a code segment for transmitting a seventh signal to initiate a database backup program for backing up data stored on the database.

9. A computer program as recited in claim 8 , further comprising:

initiating a a controller program.

10. A computer program as recited in claim 9 , wherein the controller program transmits an eighth signal to initiate calculation of statistics from the data.

11. A computer program as recited in claim 10 , wherein the controller program transmits a ninth signal to initiate assigning of key codes to the data.

12. A computer program as recited in claim 11 , wherein the controller program transmits a tenth signal to initiate sorting of the data.

13. A computer program as recited in claim 12 , wherein the controller program transmits an eleventh signal to initiate concatenating of the data.

14. A computer program as recited in claim 13 , wherein the controller program transmits a twelfth signal to initiate loading of the data into the database.

15. A system for controlling a collection, manipulation and storage of network performance data and network event data of a network with service assurance capabilities, comprising:

(a) logic for receiving an activation signal;

(b) logic for transmitting a first signal to initiate retrieval of network performance data and network event data, wherein the network performance and network event data are generated from a network-monitor that monitors a network system and then relocates the data into a common directory;

(c) logic for transmitting a second signal to initiate manipulation of the data and loading of the manipulated data into a database;

(d) logic for transmitting a third signal to initiate a clean archive program for deleting files from an archive directory;

(e) logic for transmitting a fourth signal to initiate a table extract program for extracting data from tables stored in the database;

(f) logic for transmitting a fifth signal to initiate a trigger reporting program for generating reports;

(g) logic for transmitting a sixth signal to initiate a purge record program for deleting records from the database; and

(h) logic for transmitting a seventh signal to initiate a database backup program for backing up data stored on the database.

16. A system as recited in claim 15 , further comprising: logic for initiating a a controller program.

17. A system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the controller program transmits an eighth signal to initiate calculation of statistics from the data.

18. A system as recited in claim 17 , wherein the controller program transmits a ninth signal to initiate assigning of key codes to the data.
