Data migration between different lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) based wireless communication subscriber data stores

A method of migrating a data store of wireless communication subscriber data from a first data store system to a second data store system, where the second data store system is different from the first data store system, comprising:

• creating by a computer system a list of wireless communication subscriber data entries to be migrated from the first data store system to the second data store system;
• setting a softlock on a wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system by the computer system, where the wireless communication subscriber data entry is identified in the list;
• after setting the softlock, receiving a provisioning request that comprises a reference to the wireless communication subscriber data entry and a provisioning content;
• in response to receiving the provisioning request, rolling back a transaction on the second data store system;
• after rolling back the transaction,
• looking up a wireless communication subscriber data entry by the computer system in the first data store system based on the reference of the provisioning request;
• revising the wireless communication subscriber data entry by the computer system in the first data store system based on the provisioning content of the provisioning request;
• copying a revised wireless communication subscriber data entry identified by the reference by the computer system to the second data store system;
• creating a reference to the revised wireless communication subscriber data entry copied to the second data store system;
• and
• changing the reference to the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system to reference empty memory.

A method of migrating a data store of wireless communication subscriber data from a first data store system to a second data store system while continuing to handle requests to authenticate subscribers in the data store, where the second data store system is different from the first data store system, comprising:

• creating by a computer system a list of wireless communication subscriber data entries to be migrated from the first data store system to the second data store system;
• setting a softlock on a wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system by the computer system;
• reading the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system by the computer system;
• copying the wireless communication subscriber data entry read in the first data store system by the computer system into the second data store system;
• creating a reference to the wireless communication subscriber data entry copied to the second data store system by the computer system;
• before committing the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the second data store system, receiving an access request that comprises a reference to the wireless communication subscriber data entry;
• in response to receiving the access request, rolling back a transaction of copying the wireless communication subscriber data entry into the second data store system and the creation of the reference to the wireless communication subscriber data entry copied to the second data store;
• after rolling back the transaction and completing the access request,
• looking up the wireless communication subscriber data entry by the computer system in the second data store system;
• looking up the wireless communication subscriber data entry by the computer system in the first data store system;
• if the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system matches the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the second data store system, changing the reference to the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system by the computer system to reference empty memory;
• if the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system does not match the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the second data store system;
• setting a softlock on the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system by the computer system;
• reading the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system by the computer system;
• copying the wireless communication subscriber data entry read in the first data store system by the computer system into the second data store system;
• creating a reference to the wireless communication subscriber data entry copied to the second data store system by the computer system;
• changing the reference to the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store system to reference empty memory by the computer system;
• and
• releasing the softlock on the wireless communication subscriber data entry in the first data store by the computer system.
