Transcript AIM-CeTARS CMS Web Service

AIM – CeTARS
Web Service Interface:
Course Master Schedule
and Other Possibilities
November 2008
Focus of Discussion/Demo
• Background and overview of current CMS
Web service interface
• Demo of initial CeTARS and AIM sides of
interface
• Discussion of “where to from here” on
CMS and other potential Web service
interfaces
The Original Issue
• Many AIM users have traditionally
developed Course Master Schedule
(CMS) data in conjunction with their AIMbased curricula
• CMS data then had to be manually rekeyed into CeTARS both at initial
curriculum development and at revisions
Background of Automated Interface
• CeTARS and AIM technical teams worked
together in FY03 to define data interchange
requirements and develop batch mode for data
exchange
• CeTARS move to Web service vs. batch import
made that interface obsolete
• At Jun 07 FRB meeting, ATRC requested
adaptation of AIM CMS output to interface with
existing CeTARS Web service API

Implementation Issues
• Automate process of getting AOIT data into CMS
within AIM - resolved
• Collect all AIM user input data on FedSun and run
CMS Web service to CeTARS from there vs. having to
establish authenticated connection from every AIM
user site to CeTARS production server - resolved
• PKI-based authentication between FedSun server
and CeTARS - resolved
• Current interface supports single CMS per CIN – do
we need to support CDP-level CMS data in AIM for
input to CeTARS? - open

Where to from here?
• Other potential Web service data interfaces from
AIM to CeTARS:
– Test items and test data (ACR xxxxx)
– Others ????
• Mechanism to explore interface issues in detail
and develop detailed functional, cost, and
technical data for possible implementation –
recommend establishing a standing CeTARS-AIM
interface working group
• CeTARS relationship to future Enterprise Data
Environment (EDE)?
