4.3.1 Centralized configuration

System configuration and subscriber data is provisioned at the active server of the Primary SDS cluster, replicated to all other SDS, and then replicated to the active DP SOAM of each Network Element.

SOAP/XML

The main method of subscriber data provisioning is SOAP or XML Interfaces. They allow one or several independent information systems supplied and maintained by the network operator to be used for provisioning databases and for configuring systems. Through the SOAP/XML interfaces, independent information systems may add, delete, change or retrieve information about any Routing Entities.

GUI Provisioning

Local provisioning can be done using the SDS GUI. The GUI can be used to manage Provisioning setup, to make direct changes to the subscriber database entries, and to perform application operations, management, and provisioning.

This table shows the GUI options available when logged into an SDS.
