Project Diary: XTools [1]
Finally started serious work on my Xtools projects. Xtools is the nickname I’ve given to the project to convert all of my Meridian/Succession Parse utilities to be web enabled. Once completed, I’ll have a fully functional, multi-user death star… I mean management interface for handling all of the customer information I’ll ever come across.
Ultimately, I plan to offer the plugin as a service for others like myself who need help managing Meridian-1 and CS1000 systems.
Planned parse utilities:
- Parse DNB (Extension, Name, TNB, etc)
- Parse ESN (ESN, RLI, DGT, NCTL, FCAS, TOD, etc.)
- Parse CDP (DSC, LSC, TSC)
- Parse BARS/NARS (NPA, NXX, LOC, SPN, etc.)
- Parse LD 117 set information
- Parse LD 117 inventory information
- Parse TNB (fully functional conversion of a PRT TNB to a web & csv format)
- Parse CDR
- Parse TRF
- Parse HST
- Parse ACD Reports (really low priority, you should be on Contact Center if you’re need ACD reports)
Since these will all be in a database, I’ll be able to relate this data, and keep multiple instances of information based on upload batches for historical comparisons.
Another useful feature that will be gained from having the ESN/CDP/BARS information contained in this database I’m doing is the ability to set up multi-site networks and test tandem dialing through those networks once all sites are uploaded to the database.
Status:
- Wrote this post.
- Started core administration code.
- Achieved 40% mark on customer module.
To do:
- All user pages
- Site module
- Relationship module (user-site-customer)
- Settings module (including aging values for how quickly data is aged out of the database)
- Indices module (to reduce database size a lot of text values will be indexed and their text value converted to an index value for saving, here’s where indices will be managed)
- Write up a project page with versioning information for storage on Undecided.
There’s more, I need to do a whole write up on the project… not that I’ll give the entire overview to anyone, but if you read these, you’ll get a fair picture of what I’m working on and what the total scope of the project is.
