Reports Store Gateway scenarios for VME

Introduction

This page describes the foreseen data entry scenarios for the iMarine Reports for the VME-DB project. This scenario will use the Reports-store-gateway

Data structure

One iMarine VME Report manipulates these objects:

• Vme
• SpecificMeasure
• Profile

Then there 4 RefReports:

• GeneralMeasure
• InformationSource
• FisheryAreasHistory
• VmesHistory

Scenarios

Data entry actions are Create, Read, Update and Delete, so 4 in total.

The input dataset consists of these objects (a dash means has):

• Vme1
• Vme2 - Profile2012
• Vme3 - SpecificMeasure2012
• Vme4 - Profile2012 - SpecificMeasure2012
• Vme5 - Profile2011 - SpecificMeasure2009
• Vme6 - Profile2009 - SpecificMeasure2011
• Vme7 - Profile2008 - Profile2009 - SpecificMeasure2010 - SpecificMeasure2011

This means in RSG terms that:

• Vme1 has 1 Report (Vme with a year still to choose)
• Vme2 has 1 Report
• Vme3 has 1 Report
• Vme4 has 1 Report {Vme4-2012, Profile2012, SpecificMeasure2012}
• Vme5 has 2 Reports ({Vme5-2009, SpecificMeasure2009}, {Vme5-2011, Profile2011, SpecificMeasure2009})
• Vme6 has 2 Reports ({Vme6 -2009, Profile2009 }, {Vme6-2011, Profile2009 , SpecificMeasure2011 })
• Vme7 has 4 Reports
  • {Vme7-2008, Profile2008}
  • {Vme7-2009, Profile2009}
  • {Vme7-2010, Profile2009, SpecificMeasure2010}
  • {Vme7-2011, Profile2009, SpecificMeasure2011}

FAQ

The above scenario shows objects in italics. These objects are already part in past VMEs. Are the italic objects also editable when shown as being part of a VME? And do they need to be shown in iMarine reports as an immutable object?

According to UML each set of fields is associated to a Year value, hence the last VME report (for each object) is built with the most recent values available for each fields.

• In case of a new report creation (new year value): a field can be edited based on previous content but the modification does not affect the old content and are stored as new content with a different year value
• In case of editing an existing report (editor selected one year among those available): the edited content overwrite the existing one for that year. If that specific content was not existing for that year (but retrieved from a previous year) then there are two options:

1)the updated content is overwriting for all years 2)the content goes as a new record for that particular year

probably option 2 is more correct, implying that if an editor wants to modify a content for all reports need to update the "root" one.
