As yet I've not mentioned Infinite, mainly due to the work on STU188 however I have time now and want to speak about the new project.
Infinite is a workflow management system which is to be implemented between the bodies who deal with the pre and post award of research grants at the university.
The research award process is managed by Edinburgh Research and Innovation (ERI) and Finance Research Grants Section (RGS). Infinite is required to create a more efficient method of controlling the flow of information and workload between the two bodies, for example the system will only distribute tasks to users who have the appropriate authorisation for that class of task.
I am working on a component of Infinite, this component is a set of PL/SQL stored procedures which reside on the server instead of being embedded within a client based application.
Once I have completed each unit I will update as to what each unit does.
Currently my experience with PL/SQL is next to zero, I have done the training disks as spoke about in the beginning of this blog however you don't learn much without being involved in the work itself so I'm looking forward to getting into this project.
Ill update as we go.
