DATA CONFIGURATION METHOD AND DATA CONFIGURATION APPARATUS

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a data configuration method and a data configuration apparatus, and relate to the field of network technologies. Based on a difference between before-upgrade and after-upgrade data management models, configuration data changed during a model upgrade can be automatically configured, without a need to manually re-configure all configuration data based on the after-upgrade model, thereby reducing maintenance costs caused by upgrading of a data management model. The method includes: determining an upgrade profile based on an original data management model and an updated data management model (where the upgrade profile is used to indicate path information of each changed data node of at least one changed data node in the updated data management model compared with the original data management model, and an update operation of each changed data node); and configuring corresponding data for each changed data node based on the path information of each changed data node and the update operation of each changed data node.
