optimizing, tuning, and resolving various errors associated with large commercial database systems
Use the Word document just fill-in the information making it about 5-6 pages. Also the power point is the exactly the way it should look.
IT professionals are often tasked with optimizing, tuning, and resolving various errors associated with large commercial database systems. As the world becomes more and more focused on the collection and use of data for various purposes, there is a greater need for building database applications that serve numerous complex functions. This final assessment will provide a comprehensive overview of the concepts, techniques, and skills that you have acquired throughout the course. The ability to interface a database management system with other applications and even third-party services is a commonly performed task in this discipline. The scenario, presented below, provides a real-world situation in which such skills will need to be employed.
You will review the scenario and create a presentation that addresses, in detail, the key issues pertaining to performance and database efficiency, while touching on recommendations for improvements. You will then create a more detailed plan for addressing the problems highlighted in the scenario.
Scenario The County of Everstone is a large county in a densely populated state in the United States. This county has a total of 34 incorporated cities within its boundaries. Overall, the county has a population exceeding 4 million residents. The county employs a proprietary database management system that is responsible for the county’s property tax assessment, parcel, and payment information. In a recent initiative, the county has been highly promoting the use of its online property tax payment and lookup information to reduce mailed payments and in-office visits. The marketing campaign for online property tax payments and information lookup has been highly successful. However, the county’s database systems have not sufficiently handled the increased traffic. As such, the web application available to residents often experiences high amounts of latency, frequently locks up, or in many instances is unavailable.
The board of directors has asked executive IT management to look into the issue and provide a prompt resolution to the matter. A review of the hardware and software systems that the database management systems employ reveals that these systems “should” be able to take the capacity and load. Therefore, the IT management has ruled out the hardware systems as being the issue. Upon further investigation, a lead database systems administrator preliminarily reports that the issue appears to stem not from the hardware, but rather from a need to provide performance tuning on the database. The database design seems to be the culprit, since this database systems administrator noted large quantities of duplicated data, poorly written database queries, and triggers.
Furthermore, the chief information officer (CIO) has also directed the web programmers and web developers to look at the web application for potential issues. The web development team has reported that while no design or programming issues were found with the web application, the stored procedures (queries) that it runs from the database server take long periods of time to run and frequently lock up the web servers. They suspect the queries were not designed for efficiency, as they were created before more individuals started using the online property tax payment system.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Six. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Analyze database transactions to discover opportunities for performance tuning Design database queries for optimum performance that adhere to given requirements and industry best practices Resolve data duplication and redundancy issues using appropriate database normalization techniques Respond to run-time errors and optimize database processing successfully by manipulating system parameters Recommend specifications for advanced multi-user database applications that fit commercial database systems
Prompts
Prompt I: Presentation for the Chief Information Officer (CIO) To address the concerns of the board of directors, the CIO has asked you, as the manager of the database systems team, to provide a presentation that can be delivered to the board of directors. Your presentation should address in detail the key issues pertaining to performance and database efficiency, while touching on recommendations for improvements. The format and tool used for your presentation must be approved by your instructor. It is recommended, however, that free tools with IT support be used, such as Jing, or more traditional tools such as PowerPoint (with accompanying presentation notes), since they will allow you to record yourself giving a presentation. Please review the Guidelines for Submission above the Final Presentation Rubric in this document for further information to guide you in creating your submission.
Basic UNIX command
| <[Spring 2018]> | IFT 250: Shell & Script Programming with Unix |
| Lab Activity 2C: Basic Compilation |
Learnings
· Basic UNIX commands
· The Nano editor
· Compiling and running a C++ program
Part I: Getting to know Nano
Complete each step listed below and give the command you used to accomplish it.
1. Change your current working directory to the IFT250 directory
1. Using the Nano editor, create a file named first
2. Now in the file first, type the following on separate lines:
your first name, your last name, and your major.
3. Using the commands listed at the bottom of the screen, save what you have written
4. Once you have saved your work, exit the Nano editor.
5. Ensure that the file first exists and contains the content that you just typed.
Part II: Hello World!
Complete each step listed below and give the command you used to accomplish it.
1. If you are not already in the IFT250 directory, move there now.
2. Create a new file in the Nano editor named hello.cpp
3. Enter the following lines in the hello.cpp file:
//**************************************************** // // your_name // IFT250 Spring 2018 // Class Assignment 1 // File: hello.cpp // Discription: print a message to standard output // Compile: g++ -o hello hello.cpp // //**************************************************** #include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() {
cout << “Hello World!\n”;
return 0; }
1. Save the file as before and exit the Nano editor.
You have just created a C++ source file. While it is a valid program, it cannot be executed directly. First you must compile it into an executable program.
2. Compile the hello.cpp file into an executable file named hello using the command: g++ -o hello hello.cpp
3. Run the file using the command: ./hello
4. Take some to experiment with the program. Try figuring out what each line does, and even try to make the program output something different. Just remember to compile the program after you make changes.
Submissions
Once you’ve completed all the activities, perform the following steps for submission:
1. Ensure that all your answers as well as the files you created in this lab are correct and complete.

IT 210 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: This assignment is the first milestone that you will complete for your final project. In this milestone, you will address the following:
· You will begin drafting parts of your final project, focusing on your business requirements, competitors, and technology.
· This assignment is an important practice opportunity for you to create a draft, and to get feedback from your instructor to improve your final draft.
· The rubric reflects that this is a practice opportunity. You should focus on getting the necessary information into your draft. No draft is perfect.
· This milestone aligns with sections I, II, and III of your final project. Use the questions in the critical elements as a guide.
· You are free to work in the Final Project Template document or on a separate word document for your drafts.
o It is recommended you use the template to ensure you do not miss any items you need to address. The critical elements are highlighted in yellow in the template.
· The decision matrix is not required for this milestone; however, you will be submitting the decision matrix in Milestone Two. It is recommended that you use the template provided to help narrow your technology recommendation.
Prompt: Imagine that you work for the small brick-and-mortar business described in the final project case scenario. The owner of your business wants to focus on generating new revenue through e-commerce, but she knows that this change in operations requires the company to integrate new technology. To gain an understanding of what the business might need for technology, she has asked you to create a business systems analysis. In this analysis, you will clearly introduce the problem that your business is facing. Then, you will determine the business requirements for solving that problem, including the requirements that any new technology needs to meet.
Your goal in the final project is to establish an e-commerce presence, but you must improve the current technology first. Use the Decision Matrixdocument as you conduct your research for assistance organizing your thoughts. (You will submit the completed decision matrix in Milestone Two.) For additional resources on developing the decision matrix, refer to:
· Decision Matrix: What It Is and How to Use It: This article defines the decision matrix and discusses how leaders evaluate and prioritize all of their options when considering solutions to a difficult task.
· Decision Matrix Analysis: This article explains how to use a decision matrix analysis, a useful technique for making a choice when many factors must be balanced.
· Decision Matrix Example: Use this resource to view an example of a completed decision matrix.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: In this section, you will briefly introduce the small business from the case scenario, and the problem that it is trying to solve.
A. Clearly state the problem that the business owner is seeking to solve. Be sure to address the question of what your business ultimately wants to do.
B. Identify and briefly describe the two technologies from the list provided that you will research in your business systems analysis.
AI. Business Requirements: In this section, you will determine what the business requirements are to solve the stated problem, and establish the criteria that will help form your technology recommendations. You will also articulate why the business owner should undertake the project of integrating new technology.
A. Explain the objectives of undertaking this project to integrate new technology. In others words, what should the project accomplish, and how does it support the goal of your business?
B. Provide a project description that explains the purpose of the project. Be sure to address the following:
i. What does your business need to do to satisfy the objectives?
ii. What are the desired results at the end of the project?
iii. Why is it important for your business owner to consider implementing new technology?
C. State the key technological requirements that will be required of any new technology in order to effectively solve your business’s problem. In other words, what specifically does the technology need to be capable of doing? (These are the technology requirements in the decision matrix.)
BI. Competitors and Technology: In this section, you will describe two competing companies that operate in the same industry as your business. You will also explain how a company uses the two technologies that you are investigating to determine if the technology may be appropriate for your business to use. Remember that a list of competing companies was provided to you in the final project case scenario.
A. Technology One: Select one company in the same industry as your own that uses this technology. Briefly describe what that company does and how it uses this technology to support its business in general. Include specific examples.
B. Technology Two: Select one company in the same industry as your own that uses this technology. Briefly describe what that company does and how it uses this technology to support its business in general. Include specific examples.
C. Referring to what you learned in your research on the companies above, explain one specific way in which one of the companies is benefittingfrom technology, and describe the potential benefit to your business if you were to adopt the same approach.
