    3. Self-Service Engine: Purpose Main Goal: To allow rapid development and deployment of Self-Service Pages, integrated with WebTailor security Share the work: Layout tuning and (light) enhancements can be made without development resource Custom Reports: Quick and easy information display Customizable SGHE products: OENR, PROGCAT, ATTR, EGB, ...

    4. SSEN Overview Data driven Self-Service Pages Minimise development effort Minimise maintenance Readiness for the next technology Easy extension of the model (new types of objects, new html properties, etc.) Ready for a change of target: The engine doing pure rendering can be transformed in order to render the model into another target language

    5. SSEN Overview Integrates seamlessly with WebTailor, including the 3 areas: Secured (PIDM based authentication, roles) Application (AIDM based authentication) Free (not authenticated) Luminis, Existing SSB pages, Process Rules Engine, SQL & PLSQL, any stored code (APIs, baseline code, custom code), CSS, JavaScript

    6. The SSEN interface An INB interface (2 forms) to build Gkaspag: Pages Gkasapp: Page Sets A rendering engine (2 packages) Gkkpsgb to support the INB forms and pre-compile Bwkkspgr for runtime rendering

    7. Self Service Engine Pages Create in INB gkaspag Compile Create in WebTailor Administration bwkkspgr.showpage?page=<PAGENAME> Link in WebTailor Administration bwkkspgr.showpage?page=<PAGENAME>

    8. Create in INB - GKASPAG

    9. Create and link in WebTailor Administration

    19. Example of JavaScript integration Keyboard navigation to the next/previous record Calendar (no more date format mistakes) Clear entries

    20. Example of Exception handling

    21. Process Rules Engine Introduction A universal problem: developing software that satisfies all the requirements of all your users. Not have the users adapt their business processes to the software, but a software that can be easily (by end-users) adapted to the business processes. A universal “solution”: develop less, delegate more to the users but, provide the “software tuning tools” to each group that has specific requirements.

    22. What is the Process Rules Engine(PRGN)? A tool integrated in Banner to develop business processing logic An over-simplified summary Simple and powerful rules of the form for record i in (select ... from SOURCES) loop if i meets certain conditions in TARGET, then update TARGET with i else insert i into TARGET end loop Delete from target where (ordered set of columns) have values in (select ... from ...) select ... from SOURCES PRGN is used to provide seed reports (HESA, T2202,...), SSB data-processing (SSEN, OENR) and to complement the seed Banner logic.

    23. What is the PRGN (cont.) Integrated within Banner to allow customisations of the seed system Security classes to control who can use which rule API and jobsub process to better control when and how to execute a rule

    24. What is the PRGN (cont.) Portability of the PRGN “programs” From development to production From client to client / SGHE to client Programs can be easily exportable (universal formats including all the pieces needed to interpret the programs) and adapt themselves to the host environment More opening to the outside world (the UDC and further) Interface to help setup links to remote data locations Oracle external tables for datafiles XML import/export

    25. PRGN Process Module

    26. Portable programs, all data in one form- 1 STEP 1: Select data from some SOURCEs Source=database object that can be queried with a select statement; e.g. Banner tables and views, registered text data files (csv, fixed length HESA POPTAR file, XML file), remote objects through dblinks Control on what is an admitable source through a LOV

    27. Portable programs, all data in one form- 2 STEP 2: Select ... Only those data that verify some conditions Possibility to use parameters (variables bound before the execution)

    28. Portable programs, all data in one form- 3 STEP 3: Populate a TARGET Existing table (local or remote) or table yet to be generated Associated table comment (Saved in/extracted from the database)

    29. Portable programs, all data in one form- 4 STEP 4: Columns to be populated in the target Standard column definition (datatype, length, scale for numbers, nullable or not) Column comment (saved in/extracted from the database)

    30. Portable programs, all data in one form- 5 STEP 5: Individual selected part by target column and conditions for insert vs. update Combination of standard SQL functions, selected values from the source columns, bind variables Define which target columns are checked to decide if we insert or update the target

    31. Portable programs, all data in one form- 6 STEP 6: Verification of the program syntax, additional tools

    32. Automatic adaptation of the host environment: table generation Takes place during program syntax-check Takes place against existing database objects and PRGN programs in the host environment “Missing” target tables are generated in a special PRGN schema (no interference with Banner or other applications) Missing columns on generated tables are generated When a column definition differs with the “real” column in a generated table, if all programs agree on what the target column should rather be and that target column is empty, it is altered

    33. Portable programs, export Export in a portable XML format

    34. More complex programs

    35. Run control: Model program vs. User program

    36. Run control: Parameters for a program run

    37. More opening to the outside world Tool to help register data files as external tables
