Abstract:

Many components in the wireless networks use configuration data stores to
guide most of their functionality. As a part of the Software Update
process for these network components, the schema as well as the data needs
to be updated. This process of updating the schema and data is termed as
"Data Migration".

This talk is about two XML tools, XTrek and Mojito that are used in the
Data Migration process for some of the wireless network components within
Lucent. XTrek provides a language to specify updates on XML based
configuration data and an engine to evaluate the updates. Mojito is a tool
that checks integrity constraints over the evolved/updated data. Both of
these tools are based on the Galax XQuery engine.

I will describe the tools and give our experiences in using them within
data migration.
