1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

As per the current process the tasks like Travel Request, Fluidity, Visa Type Request and

Open Requirements maintenance is done manually by using spread sheets. The above

mentioned tasks mainly deal with searching the existing data, updating the data, adding new

data, sharing the data through mails etc. Maintaining these types of tasks in the form of

spread sheets not only increase the manual effort but also consume more time. To reduce the

manual effort and time, Resource and Requirements Gathering (RRG) Tool is developed.

The on-going process is as shown in the Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Process Automation

One such example for this automation is explained as follows, as per the current existing

process; if some modifications are done by the user on group data then that user has to share

this modified data sheet with all remaining users through mails.

For example, out of 200 users if one user changes or modifies or adds any data then he has to

of 37

share this changed sheet to remaining users. In worst case scenario, if changes are done by all

users then all documents should be shared. So managing data in the form of spread sheets

leads to cumbersome and consumes lot of manual effort and time. To improve the above

process RRG Tool is developed which acts as a mediator between database and users.

Whenever user wants to modify or add or fetch the data then user can perform the required

actions through the tool.

The main objective of the project is to optimize the underlying process to achieve more

accurate results. The features of RRG Tool are as follows.

• Storing the data – where user can add new data and store it in database

• Fetching the data – where user can retrieve the data which is stored in database

• Change or modify the data – user can change or modify the data

• Updating the data – user can update the existing data

The tasks performed by RRG Tool are as follows.

• Travel Request

• Fluidity

• Open Requirements

• Visa Request

RRG Tool is a web based application developed using java script, Hypertext Pre-processor

(PHP) and back end as Structured Query Language (SQL) Database. The target features of

this website are fetching the data, changing or modifying the data, storing the data and

updating the data.

1.2 Technologies Used

The following section covers the technologies used:

• PHP

• MySQL

of 37

1.2.1 PHP

PHP is a server side scripting language. Interactive and dynamic web pages are made using

PHP. The stored data in Data Base (DB) will be manipulated using PHP. MySQL is the DB

system used with PHP. The following section describes how to use PHP functions to initialize

a server connection.

1.2.1.1 Open a connection to the MySQL Server

Connection to the MySQL server has to be opened before user can access data in data base.

Using PHP, this could be done with mysqli_connect ( ) function in following way.

• Syntax: mysqli_connect (host, username, password, DB name)

• The following Table 1 describes the parameters mentioned in the above syntax.

Table 1: Server Connection Function Parameters and Descriptions

Parameter Description Host Either a host name or an Internet Protocol (IP) address Username The MySQL user name Password The password to log in with dB name The database to be used when executing queries

1.2.1.2 Connection Closing

The server connection will be closed automatically when the PHP script ends. To close the

connection mysqli_close ( ) function has to be used.

1.2.1.3 Connection Checking

To know whether server connection is failed or not, use the mysqli_connect_errno ( )

function. It will display the error message.

of 37

1.2.1.4 Query Execution

SQL query will be executed using mysqli_query ($con, $sql) function. Here $con variable

contains DB connection. The required SQL query is assigned to $sql variable.

1.2.2 MySQL

MySQL supports standard SQL. It is reliable, very fast, and easy to use. MySQL is a

database system that runs on a server. The following section describes queries used

throughout this project.

1.2.2.1 SQL Queries

The following Table 2 contains several queries which are used to access the records from the

server and DB creation.

Table 2: SQL Queries and Tasks

SQL Queries Task

INSERT INTO table name VALUES (value1, value2, value3...)

The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new records to a database table.

SELECT column name(s) FROM table name WHERE column name operator value

The WHERE clause is used to extract only those records that fulfil a specified criterion.

UPDATE table name SET column1= value, column2 = value2... WHERE some column = some value

The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table.

SELECT column name(s) FROM table name ORDER BY column name(s) ASC|DESC

The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the data in a record set either in ascending or descending order.

SELECT column name(s) FROM table name WHERE column name LIKE pattern;

The LIKE operator is used to search for a specified pattern in a column.

SELECT COUNT(column name) FROM table name;

The COUNT (column name) function returns the number of values (NULL values will not be counted) of the specified column.

CREATE DATABASE name of DB; The CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a database.

CREATE TABLE table name The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a

of 37

SQL Queries Task ( column_name1 data type (size), column_name2 data type (size), column_name3 data type (size) .... );

table in a database.

INSERT INTO table2 (column name(s)) SELECT column name(s) FROM table1;

The INSERT INTO SELECT statement selects data from one table and inserts it into an existing table. Any existing rows in the target table are unaffected.

of 37
