Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 350 rows came out of a blueprint — 13 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
Rules it was built with
- Change request ID and submitter
- Change type: software upgrade, configuration change, hardware replacement, capacity addition
- Priority/risk: emergency, high, medium, low
- Maintenance window: scheduled start and end time (typically overnight)
- Affected network elements and services
- Customer notification: advance notice for planned maintenance
- Change Advisory Board (CAB) approval for high-risk changes
- Rollback plan: documented steps to revert if issues occur
