Validations for Editing Range Start and Range End Attributes

To edit a Route clicks Edit. In the Edit Route page, you can edit all attributes of a Route. However here is the list of validations that need to be done if you are changing Range Start and Range End attributes.

  1. The start and end values of a Range must be valid E164 numbers. (either Numerical or Numeric starting with +) Eg: +123667 to +123980 , 12345 -12490.
  2. If Range Start is starting with + then Range End must also be in the same format and vice versa.
  3. The maximum value for the Range Start and Range End attributes is 9223372036854775807.
  4. The start and end values of a Range must contain the same number of digits.
  5. The value of the Range Start attribute must be less than, or equal to, the value of the Range End attribute.
  6. Ranges must not overlap.
  7. You cannot edit the same SED to a Route having the same Range Start and Range End.
  8. If a route is having format as weighted and if you are trying to edit another entry to same Range then the new Range should be also a weighted one. Therefore, you cannot edit a non-weighted format entry to a weighted range and vice versa.

Search for Routes in a Route Set

You can search for routes in a route set by pub-id, Range Start, Range End, SED, and other properties. You can use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard for a partial substring match and the question mark (?) for character match for all the property fields except SED and formula.

  1. Expand the Route Manager slider. The Route sets page is displayed.
  2. In the Route sets page, select the route set and click Lock to lock the route set before you can edit a route within the route set.
    The lock state toggles from unlocked, indicated by Unlocked lock, to locked, indicated by Locked lockThe name of the user who locked the route set is listed.
  3. Click Manage Routes. The routes in the selected Route Set are displayed.

    Note:

    Alternatively, you can search for routes using this navigation path also. Route Manager > Route Sets > select a route set > View Routes > Search.
  4. Click Search located at the top of the page. The Route Search dialog box listing the routes according to the pub-id type of the selected route set is displayed.
  5. In the Route Search dialog box, complete the following fields for your search criteria:

Example of a Route Search for a Route Set of Type Range

Route Search supports the Range Route Search with overlapping Range values and wildcard search.

For example, with Search Parameters: IRS (Input Range Start) and IRE (Input Range End) and Routes in the Database

Table 4-1 IRS and IRE and Routes

Routes Range Start (RS) Range End (RE)
R1 2 8
R2 20 40
R3 41 50
R4 200 400
R5 2406 2408

Table 4-2 Use Cases for searching overlapping Range values

Sno Input Search Params Condition to Search Display Routes from Sample
1 IRS = 24 and IRE = NULL (RS<=24 and RE>=24) R2
2 IRS = NULL and IRE = 24 (RS<=24 and RE>=24) R2
3 IRS = 24 and IRE = 45 ((RS<=24 and RE>=24) or (RS<=45 and RE>=45)) R2 and R3

Table 4-3 Use Cases for Wildcard search:

Sno Input Search Params Condition to Search Display Routes from Sample
1 IRS = 24* and IRE = NULL (RS>=24 and RE=Long.Max) R3 and R4
2 IRS = NULL and IRE = 24* (RS>=24 and RE=Long.Max) R3 and R4
3 IRS = 24* and IRE = 4* (RS>=24 and RE=Long.Max) R3 and R4
4 IRS = 24 and IRE = 4* (RS>=24 and RE=Long.Max) R3 and R4
5 IRS = 24* and IRE = 300 (RS>=24 and RE<=300) R3
6 IRS = 240? and IRE = NULL (RS>=2400 and RE<=2409) R5
7 IRS = NULL and IRE = 240? (RS>=2400 and RE<=2409) R5
8 IRS = 24? and IRE = 40? (RS>=240 and RE<=400) None
9 IRS = 24 and IRE = 4? (RS>=24 and RE<=40) None
10 IRS = 2? and IRE = 40 (RS>=20 and RE<=40) R2

    Note:

    • You can replace any route by searching the route with one or more of the attributes.
    • You can select only one field at a time to replace in the route.
    • You must provide valid data for the search parameters.
    • If you need to change values for Range Start or Range End, the ranges must not overlap.
  7. Click Replace.
  8. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes to continue.

Limitations when Replacing a Route of the type Range

To Replace a Route of the type Range, there are few limitations as listed here:

  • You can use wildcard search to modify the records.
  • There is no limitation on search based on the Range Start and Range End parameters. Rules applicable for searching a Route, apply to this scenarioo of Replacing a Route as well. For more information on searching for Routes, see the .Search for Routes in a Route Set.
  • The start and end values of a Range must be valid E164 numbers. (either Numerical or Numeric starting with +). For example: +123667 to +123980, 12345 -12490.
  • If the Range Start attribute starts with “+” then Range End attribute must also start with “+” and vice versa.
  • The maximum value for the Range Start and Range End attributes is 9223372036854775807.
  • The start and end values of a Range must contain the same number of digits.
  • If the Range Start attribute starts with “+” then Range End attribute must also start with “+” and vice versa.
  • The value of the Range Start attribute must be less than, or equal to, the value of the Range End attribute.
  • Ranges must not overlap.
  • You cannot replace the same SED to a Route having the same Range Start and Range End. For example, consider a case of having the following data in one RouteSet:

    If you want to replace Range Start/Range End parameters for all Routes having SED3, then you cannot do it as it causes overlapping issue.

  • If a route has Format as Weighted and if you try to replace another entry to the same range then the new range should be also a Weighted one. Therefore, you cannot replace a non-weighted format entry to a weighted Range and vice versa.
  • You cannot change Range Start/Range End data of two different routes at simulataneously.

    Table 4-4 Example to show overlapping of Routes

    Range Start Range End SED
    15098099 15098300 SED2
    15098099 150980300 SED3
    1000595 1000898 SED2
    1990889 1999999 SED3
    7894590 7894778 SED3
  • If you want to replace Range Start/Range End attributes for all Routes having SED3, then you cannot do that as it causes overlapping issue.

    If the same Route Set has two different entries one with + and one with only numeric but same Range End and Range Start, you cannot replace Range Start/Range End for both entries at same time.

    For example:

    If you have the following entries:

    Range Start Range End SED
    +15098099 +15098300 SED2
    15098099 15098300 SED2

    User cannot replace Range Start or Range End for both entries at same time.
