Directory Enquiry

BSNL Portal
Introduction

• Existing DQ in dotsoft is not having the

features like Query on Old Phone and
Query on Address etc.

•As the un formatted text like address, customer

name is being stored in the database ,When you the
query with „%like%‟ clause it will take full table scan
which is performance hurdle to the OLTP systems.

developed by using the oracle text based indexes

query performance

Dotsoft

whitespace in the CTXCAT indexed text field

•We can query by word or part of the word also

•CTXCAT also supports Logical AND , OR NOT and

" " (quoted phrases ) also

Introduction

Online Portal payments are implemented

using the oracle9i Materialized views
concept.

Materialized view is a database object that

contains the results of a query. They are
local copies of data located remotely.

Dotsoft
 Portal Payments
(Using MViews)

• Servers Setup

Different servers involved in the portal online payment issue are.

1) SSA Dotsoft Server

2) SSA Integrated Server (Dotsoft Dev.Centre Server)

3) Portal Server

Dotsoft
 Portal Payments
(Using MViews)
SSA integrated server:

One server is located in the dotsoft lab, named as SSA integrated

server. It behaves as an intermediate server, which is connected
to all the SSAs of dotsoft servers through DB links at one end,
and other end it is connected to portal BIZTALK server. For each
SSA, one table space has to be created. The number of users
required for each SSA in the SSA integrated server is 3. The
required commercial and TRA data from the SSA Dotsoft servers
will be refreshed daily at mid night. Data available in the SSA
Integrated server will be used for portal payments and MIS
report.
Ex: TRPPAY. (<SSACODE>PAY)
TRPPORTAL. (<SSACODE>PORTAL)
TRPDWH. (<SSACODE>DWH)

Dotsoft
 Portal Payments
(Using MViews)
TRPPAY:
TRPPAY user is the owner of all the objects (materialized views,
views and tables), which are required for the portal payments
i.e. schema owner

TRPPORTAL:
This user account will be given to the Portal team for transactions.

TRPDWH:
This account is used for DB link creation in the SSA Dotsoft server,
which is used for correlation of portal online payments.

Dotsoft
 Portal Payments
(Using MViews)

Portal server:

Portal BIZTALK server is connected to the SSA integrated

server. Using the incremental views available in the portal
integrated server, data will be taken in the form of flat files
as and when required and those flat files will be dumped
in the corresponding tables of portal data base.
