  1. TIDEN Node Management Texas Integrated Data Exchange Node Partnered with

  2. Agenda • History of the project • Why did we become involved • TIDEN Overview

  3. History of the project • 2002 Grant • Prepare infrastructure • 2003 Grant • Build Node • 2004 Grant • Add data flows

  4. Why did we become involved • Each Program area had different process • Foundation for future electronic reporting • Lessons learned

  5. TIDEN Vitals TIDEN is a J2EE application

  6. TIDEN Overview • TIDEN Top 4 Features • TIDEN as a Framework • User Management • Domains • Status

  7. TIDEN as a Framework

  8. The Problem: Change • Specs/Protocols will change • Local Web Service Methods will get added • Flows will include cross programs areas • Flows have unique (mapping, process, schedule, etc) and common requirements • Multiple flows will be developed/maintained concurrently • Flows need to be relatively independent from one another The only constant is change

  9. TIDEN Framework: Overview Example Query Web Method Query(<token>, <request>, <rowID>, <maxRows>,<parameters>) Query Operations: 1. Query(<token>, getFacByID, <rowID>, <maxRows>,<parameters>) 2. Query(<token>, getFacByName, <rowID>, <maxRows>,<parameters>)

  10. TIDEN Framework: Operations • TIDEN framework provides a common workflow for operations of a handler • Each operation has hooks at certain points for operation specific implementation to be “plugged” in

  11. Adding a TIDEN Operation

  12. Lessons Learned • Understand the specs/protocols • Understand the relationship between Web Methods • Initially focus on Web Methods and relationships you know you need

  13. User Management

  14. The Problem: Managing Users • Diverse types of users (people and machines) • Each flow has users and policies • Some users cross flow boundaries • Some users cross state boundaries • User vs Administrator users • NAAS required integration

  15. NAAS • Potential solution to user management issues • Pros • Already developed and free! • Supports comprehensive authentication • Supports sharing users across partner Nodes • Works well for exchanges among Node partners • Easy to get up and running on Network • Provides Web Services for management • Cons • Limited scope (spec/protocol Web Service Methods) • Limited authorization granularity • Limited management capabilities (e.g. - GUI) • Limited control All Nodes must support NAAS tokens!

  16. NAAS Interface

  17. User Management • Use NAAS Web Services to: • Manage NAAS Users and Policies • Provide GUI Management • Extend NAAS

  18. TIDEN Interface: Summary

  19. TIDEN Interface: New User

  20. Lessons Learned • Understand NAAS Features/Limitations • Determine User Management interactions early on • Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) • No synchronization with NAAS server • More NAAS Web Services are needed

  21. Domains

  22. The Problem: Delegation • Program Areas have the business knowledge • Program Areas are the end users • Flows will cross Program Areas • Flows should reuse existing logic when possible • Solution should allow for flow independence

  23. Domains Node Domain Air Domain Central Registry Domain Node Domain • Node Domain: Authenticate, NodePing, GetStatus, GetServices • Other Domains: Submit, Query, Solicit, Notify, Download • Each Domain is assigned a Domain Admin • Domain Admins manage users and policies for their domain Not all Web Methods are shown in the diagram.

  24. Lessons Learned • Domains should be logical • Need special “Node” Domain • Domain Admins can modify any TX Node User

  25. What’s your Status?

  26. The Problem: Status • NodePing and GetServices provide basic information only • Web Services require a client able to call them and process results • How do you provide quick and easy access to your Node’s status?

  27. Status Page: Splash Page

  28. Status Page: More Details

  29. Lessons Learned • Use GetServices or not? • How much information?

  30. Parting Thoughts • Determine goals for flow and user management • Centralized vs distributed • Determine types of flows you need to support in near future • Understand NAAS functionality and limitations • Design for extension, not modification • Share what you learn! The success of the network depends on you!
