2 Agenda Highlight challenges and goals Explore delivery techniques used Tour of our implementation and back end operations

3 About Queen’s University Full-time enrolment: 18,409 (2003) Academic Staff 994 (tenure and tenure track included) Other Staff 2,569 (including medical support staff)

4 Where’s Kingston?

5 About UIS Over 20 people work in UIS, some for the mainframe, the rest on the ‘internet applications’ side. Responsible for: –maintaining the core enterprise systems –providing web self service applications –leadership in application development and setting standards for campus

6 Overview Delivering online self-service applications for a community as large as diverse as a university presents a unique set of challenges. Queen's University Information Systems developed a design strategy to bring project stakeholders on board as part of the design team and empower them to make ongoing changes to their applications.

The Challenges The good news is – we’re popular The bad news is – we’re popular

8 The Challenges Our clients have yearly/term work cycles, so the front end edit changes are volatile while the business logic remains more constant. We have a mandate to design single applications that represent a diverse set of clients, such as incorporating the needs of many departments into a central application.

9 First Stakeholders School of Graduates Studies(SGS) needs application process and admin functions brought online, 43 departments with different needs to be represented in one application(today’s example) Faculty of Education requires course registration, payment and admin process brought online, shopping cart style application to be reused by other clients

10 SGS Requirements

Setting the Goals Empower the customer Reliable, secure and reusable Reduce deployments Reduce maintenance No increase in database access Available to third party applications

12 Development Environment J2EE Development using MVC with Struts, EJB, web services, DAO and JDBC

13 Exploring our Options Properties files in struts requires a redeployment to pick up the change, developers changing text. What we needed was a real time, updatable version of the properties file information in memory, with multiple versions available, and ‘Property Manager’ was born.

14 Business Case Property Manager will change the way we do business and reduce application delivery time. 1. Offer an improved customer communication channel, property manager involvement requires customers join the design team 2. Reduce yearly maintenance by UIS 3. Fewer deployments, less time packaging 4. Information available to third party applications, not copied in multiple places

24 Property Manager – The Solution Property Manager is real time updatable web cache of all the properties used in an application(text, urls, images). information stored in a single database table, read into an application scope object in memory at startup, refreshed at scheduled intervals, each item represented with a tree structure.

25 Structure

26 Lessons Learned Stakeholder commitment was key Communicating the scope of property manager verbally was nearly impossible Bringing the clients on board as part of the design team had unique challenges and outcomes The time required for dealing with 43 departments simultaneously was severely underestimated

27 Current Implementations SGS Continuing Education registration system, other clients in discussion Undergraduate Admissions PSE process Bursary applications Loan consent Application to graduate HR Tuition and Child Care Benefit Applications
