FieldNet 2.x EnhancementFieldNet 2.x Enhancement

TUG – September 8, 2003Andres Marin, Info Tech Inc.

Project Scope ObjectivesProject Scope Objectives Replace the manual processes used by Michigan DOT to

ensure effective synchronization and balance between CAS and FieldManager

Minimize user involvement and to automate the actual transfer of data between FieldManager and CAS regardless of geographic distances. This will remove many potential points of failure inherent in the current physical transfer of data.

Use new technologies and methodologies to ensure that all data transfers are completed successfully or else completely rolled back with the state of both databases corrected.

Project Scope Objectives Project Scope Objectives (cont)(cont)

Built on Internet standards allowing the ubiquitous, secure and inexpensive automation of business processes.

Implement a scalable and flexible architectural design for future enhancements.

Data transfers will be authenticated, authorized, reliable, secure, accurately routed and delivered to the correct destination.

Project Risks - SummaryProject Risks - Summary

Key Risk Mitigations – Synchronization with FM– Synchronization with CAS– Synchronization with FM / SM Interface

TRT Questions /AnswersTRT Questions /Answers

FM support of FN Versions– ITI recommends FM 4.X to support FN 2.X

FN will be compatible with latest version of CAS– CAS 5.2a 7/03– CAS 5.3a 1/04– CAS 5.3b 6/04

Licenses changes will not affect “clients” as a result of using IBM WebSphere MQ

FN RDBMS support: Oracle 9.ix
