Abstract
A system searches for, and verifies, according to certain criteria, a database of records, typically call records generated during the testing of a telecommunications network after software or hardware updates have been applied to the system. Multiple instances of collecting and decoding processes embodied in stored programs running in a computer system act upon blocks of incoming data records to store both a raw image of the received data and a pre-parsed version of the data suitable for database searching and retrieval. Three-step partitioned processing comprises a set of collector processes for collecting data records, a set of decoder processes for decoding and parsing such records, and a set of loader processes for loading records into a database. A client can request certain call records or request verification of certain records. A rules mechanism embodied in stored templates operates to tie client requests to asynchronously received data.
