Model-driven service rollback mechanism for data integrity

Abstract:

Systems and methods for rollback of model-based provisioned network device configuration including a memory capable of storing a model-based provisioned data template that includes a data template sequence. Data associated with a request to transmit a target object request message are received and transmitted following a retrieval message that determines pre-configuration data of the target device. The pre-configuration data is stored and the target object request message is sent specifying CRUD semantics. A notification is received indicating an outcome of the execution and, if the execution outcome is unsuccessful, a rollback stack is retrieved that specifies CRUD semantics and the pre-configuration parameters are retrieved to restore the target device to a pre-request state. If the execution outcome is successful, a second target object request message is retrieved from a list of target devices.
