Abstract

A method and system for efficiently and accurately processing dependent telecommunications-switch transactions is provided. A subset of tables is identified that will be affected by processing each transaction. The subset is referenced to determine which tables to query. A dependency manager associates an order identifier with each transaction and subcomponent thereof. The respective order identifiers are updated as transactions are processed. When the order identifier updates to a ‘ready’ status, the dependent transaction can be executed.
