ystem Overview

Web site allowing visitors to search for Marine Security Safety Bulletins.

  • Bulletins are stored in subfolders in the main web site directory (\\tcwwwmaster\wwwapps\Saf-Sec-Sur\4\bulletins).  Subfolders are organized by year.

  • There is no admin interface for the SSB application. Client admins have direct access to the SSB production data in order to add, edit or otherwise modify the SSB web application's data, lookup values, etc.

Good To Know

  • Connection string is located in web.config file

  • SSB was modified as part of the 2019-01-19 Oracle DB Migration. The previous connection string was SSB_USER@DMZ11P

    • NOTE:  After the migration, the app did not work.  In order to get it to work, Marcin Wieczorek (Unlicensed), from the Web Technical Support Group, copied the bulletins.dll and bulletins.pdb files from ACC to Prod.  The files in ACC were dated 2017-06-05 while the ones in PROD were dated 2014-02-13.  This indicates that it's possible the app was not working even prior to the DB migration.

Problem:
I’m trying to modify a record in the SSB database and I’m getting the below error, I can’t even save nor delete any record.

Solution:
DOS 411

Unable to Access SSB Application (Oracle Account Locked)

Problem:
Would you know why we can’t access SSB database, getting the following error message: "ORA-28000: the account is locked"? Does it reside now on a different server, we’re connecting to the one indicated in the attached RDIMS document?

Solution:

Sent new TNS name for the SSB connection to Natalia to allow SSB admins to connect to the database and add new bulletins. There is no admin functionality in SSB to add bulletins: client admins have always used SQL Developer / Toad to perform admin tasks.

Note: client was not provided username/password for the database. They were able to use their existing credentials.
