Project: FIN058 - WebFirst Enhancements

New Project

I've been working on webfirst since early last week, there is no update last week because work stalled on Wednesday pending further information from the client.

Webfirst is not that different from Infinite in principle, it also controls staff access rights across a range of departments. The system receives a packet of data then copies this into a data structure, the structure also contains an array for certain aspects of data.

Once the system has populated the structure it then checks this data against its databases, where a member of staff does not exist (new starts for example) it creates one. Where the staff member does exist it updates their record. Once the main record is updated the system checks their access rights and updates that table with the new ones.

I have written the procedure above today, we are now still awaiting data from the client so the software I wrote can be customised to the data contained in their packet (for example table and data names).

I will update when we next move forward.

18th May 2011

Unfortunately this project hasn't moved any further forward, given the massive time elapsed I don't see it coming back to me. I have asked about it and there's no real explaination other than the client not coming back to us.

Shame.
