Enclosed
find a conceptual framework. It is by no means "comprehensive". I am
sure you can improve this.
What made me draw - up this pyramid? what
"triggered" it?
I thought of this when you told me that before
consultants can re - start using debugged OES, they would need to enter, all over again COMPANY MASTER/ LEGAL
MASTER. This is a colossal Waste of time/ energy - but, perhaps, cannot be
avoided, at this stage.
Q -
What can we / must we do NOW, to ensure that
history does NOT repeat, in case of all of our applications? Not matter how
many "revisions/ debugging" these applications may have to undergo?
Possible Answer?
MASTERS/ DATABASES/ SOFTWARE TOOLS must not be an
integral - part of ANY application. These must be stand along / isolated. Any
user/ user - group should be able to use any application any time. and any way
(LAN/WAN/Dedicated Line/ VPN/Wireless devices etc. etc), without having to
meddle with
. Masters
.
Databases
.
Software Tools
All of which must independently work in the
background.
No user should be able to add/ edit/ modify/ delete,
any Masters/ Databases/ Tools.
Our Data/ Network SECURITY SYSTEM, Should only
define, Who (user/ user group) can access & use, what/ which application
& how (local/ remote etc). And it must keep a log of every use by every
user (transactions/ mouse - clicks / key strokes).
"MASTERS" will flow to databases/
software Tools & Applications but independently "reside"
somewhere else - beyond every user's "REACH" ! only DBA can touch
them.
Perhaps, we
can allow 3P's own employees to be able to "see/ view" these MASTERS
and suggest additions/ detections/ modifications to DBA, only who has
"access" to the masters.
When a "Developer" designs a new
application/ software tool/ database, he should not have to worry/ think about
the MASTERS.
And
obviously, a MASTER remains a MASTER, irrespective of the application!
e.g.
You cannot
have "separate" Company - Masters for
. Member
Database
. Non
Member Database
. Module
1
. OES
.
Compiler
.
Manhattan
. Jaws
. Web
service etc.
