Description

Stripping method of CRBT Portal and new framework device of CRBT platform after stripping

technical field

The invention relates to a telecommunication value-added service platform system, in particular to a stripping method of a color ring portal and a new framework system of a color ring platform after stripping.

Background technique

Since the opening of the CRBT system of China Mobile Fujian Company at the end of 2003, the business has developed rapidly. At the beginning of 2005, the number of CRBT users also rapidly expanded to more than 2.5 million, and the business growth momentum was rapid.

The business system layer and business presentation layer of the original CRBT platform are tightly coupled entities, which are developed and maintained by Huawei. Usually, a simple page update requires the cooperation of Huawei and China Mobile Fujian to complete, which greatly delays The development progress of new demands was slowed down, and the market pace of business promotion was unable to keep up. Therefore, China Mobile Fujian Branch considered obtaining more development support for CRBT content. However, on the original CRBT system architecture, if more interfaces are opened to China Mobile Fujian Company, there will be a series of problems such as safety, efficiency, and development difficulty.

Contents of the invention

In order to solve a series of problems of efficiency, security and development difficulty in the operation of the CRBT platform, China Mobile Fujian Branch proposed the idea of separating the CRBT Portal in May 2005. This idea requires Huawei to modify the underlying architecture of the existing CRBT system to separate the system layer from the service layer. In this way, the system layer is responsible for providing a large number of basic interfaces, and the business layer assembles these interfaces into corresponding specific functions, and realizes support for various forms such as WWW, WAP, SMS, IVR, etc., to quickly meet the emerging CRBT New business needs.

The step that the CRBT Portal is stripped and implemented in the present invention comprises:

(1) Hardware stripping: add a USDP platform between the VXML Server, Web Portal and DB of the original CRBT platform, and use an independent server to carry it;

(2) Software stripping: Redesign the software architecture and split the original business-side software into two parts: USDP module and business layer module. USDP provides basic functions such as account opening, user management, ring tone management, and authority management. For user/business data, the business layer provides WEB, SMS, WAP and other access methods and business logic, and the business layer implements functions and data calls to USDP through a unified API interface.

The new framework device of the CRBT platform after stripping includes: a system layer for providing a general-purpose basic function interface, and a business layer for using the above-mentioned general-type basic function interface to quickly realize new business needs. The system layer includes a general-purpose resource platform , enhanced intelligent peripherals, front-end processor, voice station, voice resource system, computer phone integration, user interaction script, file server, the business layer includes DB module, VXML Server module and WEB Portal module, WEB Portal module through VXML Server The module is connected with the DB module, and its characteristics are: a USDP platform is added between the VXML Server module, the Web Portal module and the DB module, and an independent server is used to carry it.

After completing the Portal separation and transformation, the entire CRBT system will implement a flat architecture: the system layer focuses on providing general-purpose basic function interfaces, while the business layer focuses on using these interfaces to quickly realize new business requirements. The overall architecture is clear and concise.

It has the following main advantages:

1. Interface encapsulation is easy and business development is easy. After Portal separation, Huawei will focus on extracting the most commonly used common function logic between new requirements at the system layer, and efficiently implement interface development and packaging; China Mobile Fujian will use the rich interfaces provided by the platform to assemble various specific functions to quickly realize the development and provision of new requirements for operators.

2. Reduce the upgrade impact and make the system more stable. Before the separation of PORTAL, any demand raised by the business department would likely require operations such as upgrading and restarting the CRBT system that would affect the security of the CRBT system; after the separation, most of the functions that the business needs to implement can be developed on the PORTAL side of China Mobile Fujian Branch , Test and provide for use. The CRBT system needs to be upgraded only when the basic data cannot be provided. Therefore, the upgrade operation can be avoided to a large extent.

3. The system level is clear and the interface is open and convenient. Compared with the original CRBT system, the network structure after transformation is clearer, and it is easier to adapt to the gradual interface opening without bringing security risks to the existing network.

4. The network structure is reasonable, effectively reducing attacks. Through the firewall setting policy, only the ports required for dispatching commands and database synchronization ports of China Mobile Fujian Company PORTAL are opened, and the others can be blocked. In addition, the core network of the modified ring tone system is less likely to be attacked.

5. Accelerate demand response and benefit from business promotion. After the CRBT Portal is separated, business departments will be able to promote services more quickly, and most functional requirements will be realized faster, and will no longer be limited by Huawei's demand acceptance process and response speed. For example, to realize the division of brand users on the CRBT website, China Mobile Fujian can completely develop and quickly provide service functions online.

6. The maintenance work is simple, and the system optimization is endless. Reducing the upgrade of the CRBT system will not only benefit the stability of the CRBT system, but also greatly reduce the pressure on the maintenance department. Therefore, after the separation of CRBT Portal, system maintenance personnel will be able to devote more energy to further optimization of the system and business operation analysis, which is conducive to making the maintenance work comprehensive, safe, reliable, refined, and solid .

The business-side logic flow of the CRBT platform before Portal was stripped off (as shown in Figure 2):

WEB PORTAL sends the received business request to VXML SERVER, and VXML SERVER calls the stored procedure in the database after interpreting the received request script for processing. After the processing is completed, the database returns the execution result to WEB PORTAL through VXML SERVER, thus completing The execution process of a business request.
