Modeling Transport Phenomena within the FSU Information Analysis System
Abstract
This report describes the technical methods for organizing, documenting, and archiving an Oracle 8.i Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). These procedures are required by the Ministry of Defense (MOD), Scientific Center for the Safety and Security of Technical Means (SCSSTM) in St. Petersburg, Russia for emergency operations within the Information Analysis System (IAS) and the emerging Center for Technical Diagnostics (CTD). In this report, an integrated methodology for documenting an existing Oracle 8.i Instance is provided. In this terminology, the word Instance is used to define the organization and operating state of the database (IAS or CTD). By using these steps a DBA can create a series of scripts that allow documentation and, if required, recreation of an Oracle 8.i RDBMS under emergency operations. This research demonstrates techniques that can be used in creating these scripts. The source code for the database object information is provided. The documentation is for the future development of the CTD laboratory information management systems (LIMs). Since new systems may interface with the current IAS Oracle RDBMS, attention is required to ensure the proper exchange of data structures and related LIMs measurements. This report describes the data dictionary (lookup) components that will be required for efficient operations and examines the basic methods for controlling two or more systems (log documentation). Housed in separate networks, these systems may be physically disconnected from one another due to security limitations within the SCSSTM. For this reason, a common data dictionary must be developed that will be used by each independent network. Once this common structure is established, data can be transferred on physical media (tape, cartridge, etc.) without loss of attribute information. This research, and future efforts, will ensure a safe and effective transfer of topographic data between the IAS and CTD for MOD mission requirements. c
