Mechanized modify/add/create/delete for network configuration

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores first executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving a requested change to a network configuration, wherein the requested change to the network configuration is of a first change type;
• determining that the first change type is absent from a list of supported change types maintained by the system, and responsive to the determining, facilitating generation of steering statements for the first change type, wherein the generation comprises automatically deriving the steering statements based on contextual relationships to existing change types or accepting manual input defining the steering statements;
• adding, to an application programming interface (API) repository and according to logical rules, the steering statements for the first change type, wherein the steering statements comprise query statements and change statements, wherein the steering statements define relationships between multiple tables of a network configuration repository, including relationships between devices, locations, and neighboring components, and wherein the logical rules comprises a static rule set that is common to all change request implementations;
• executing the query statements to locate the records associated with the first change type;
• and
• executing the change statements to modify the records to change the network configuration.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising first executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving a requested change to a target network configuration, wherein the requested change to the target network configuration is of a first change type;
• determining that the first change type absent from a maintained list of supported change types, and responsive to the determining, facilitating generation of steering statements for the first change type, wherein the generation comprises automatically deriving the steering statements based on contextual relationships to existing change types or accepting manual input defining the steering statements;
• adding to a code repository according to a group of logical rules, the steering statements for the first change type, and wherein the steering statements comprise query statements and change statements, wherein the steering statements define relationships between multiple tables of a network configuration repository, including relationships between devices, locations, and neighboring components, and wherein the group of logical rules comprises a static rule set that is common to all change request implementations;
• executing the query statements associated with the first change type to locate records;
• and
• executing the change statements to modify the records to change the target network configuration.
