Environment details

There are 5 environments currently for this application and we are in the process of understanding whether one of them can be removed.

Application Name

cis

Description of application

The CIS Server is a virtual computer designed to provide essential services to other devices on our network. The server has two components:

• The schedular acts like a digital calendar for the server. It keeps track of automated tasks and ensures they run at specific times or under certain conditions. For example, jobs that run in the background to support CIS functionality.
• The database is where the server stores information. It can hold data like provider details, payments, cases, etc. The database also contains blocks of code called procedures that perform business logic when called by the schedular or the front end.

The CIS User Interface refers to the visual elements that allow a user to interact with the server. It is only accessible via AWS Workspace or Appstream. An Oracle Form 6i application is a software program built using Oracle Forms 6i, a development tool from Oracle, that has some characteristics like data entry and management, desktop-based (designed to be run on a local machine), and PL/SQL.

• Oracle forms is a software program from Oracle used to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for applications that interact with Oracle databases.
• Version 6i is a specific version of Oracle Forms

This one's completed, but we ran into a few points of friction along the way:

1. Issues with the baselines backup module expecting a KMS key to have been created which we'll fix separately
2. Issues with the RAM shares not correctly running I'm not certain on. I can see why the run failed. In this run only one of two variables was passed in to create the RAM shares, and it looks like a question of how the script parsed the git diff but I'd need to create a new set of accounts to properly identify the cause.
3. Finally, the core-shared-services-deployment did not get triggered, leading to a failure to add the new accounts to the KMS key policies for shared keys, leading to the workflows for corporate-information-system to fail in the modernisation-platform-environments repository.

These issues were all resolved manually, and I think that they would have been either successful had the baselines run smoothly, or at least easier to have correctly diagnosed. As it is, the process became non-standard for this account so it's difficult to point at the direct causes for the later difficulties.
