The startup of the specified program can be restricted/
controlled according to the condition set by admin.
Startup information of programs are recorded in a file and
sent to the server for license validation.
Configurations for restricting/ controlling startup of certain
programs can be imported to the monitoring service.
Commands are developed to import, export or initialize
startup information for the monitoring service.
Commands are developed for the start and termination of
monitoring service.

PROJECT # 11

Title: Automatic Installation Tool
Client: A large Semi conductor products manufacturing Company in
Japan
S/w used: Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP5 (Japanese), Rational Purify Version
6.5, Stingray, Objective Studio Version 7.1, Flex 2.5.4a, Bison 1.35-

Modeler, Visual Source Safe
Role: Module Leader and Analyst Programmer.
Team Size: 10
Project Description: When automatically installing software, user has to procure 'Visual
Test' the product of Rational Software Pvt. Ltd, and create an
automatic response script called recorder file. 'Visual Test' does not
guarantee to support the later versions of Windows NT 4.0 and
Windows 98 such as the newly released OS (Windows 2000,
Windows Me, and Windows XP). Visual Test is already moved to a
succeeding product having the same functions and there may be no
guarantee to support the operation of 'Visual Test' in future and
there is a likelihood of sales suspension in future.

Since a succeeding product does not have the feature of
redistribution modules, one needs to get the licenses for same
number of clients with the product which manages several hundreds
to several thousands clients which is not practical to use the
succeeding tool of Visual Test.

Due to the above reasons, needs to develop its original Installation
Tool that replaces the Visual Test

Project Description: This project aims at developing a web browser based integration tool
to integrate various information of the development process, so as
to avoid human error in the software integration stage.

The development methodology followed at client place is as follows:

a)Source modification - In case a source modification is required, in
order to maintain modification history information, a bug number is
registered into a bug list CSV file and the source code is modified
through Microsoft Visual Source safe (VSS).
b) Module creation - After source modification, necessary modules
need to be created for testing. After testing, those modules will be
copied into prescribed locations in the Integration environment and
with this the work of the person-in-charge of the module gets
completed.
c) System Integration (SI) - During System Integration (SI), the
media image of previous version and current version are compared
and the result of this comparison is verified by the person-in-charge
of every module to confirm that there are no errors in the media
image.

The purpose of the Tool is to gather various information from Source
modification process, Module creation process and confirm the
correctness of the System Integration process

same way to create the relationship between selection items of the
user inventory item. In earlier version display of user inventory item
was presented in the list format but same has to convert into tree
hierarchy to create the relationship hierarchy between items.
