System Overview

This project is for the redesign and replacement of existing inefficient tools, processes, and procedures towards creating a current, modern, well designed, well supported tool set to enable the Occurrence Response sections in Civil Aviation, Marine Safety, and Rail Safety to manage and deliver the Minster’s Observer Program as defined in the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board (CTAISB) Act, and other relevant legislature for Safety and Security Groups.

NORMS receives data from the TSB's ASIS system during a nightly 'handshake'. That is the only connection to the TSB other than manual emails sent by the various users (TSB liaison).

Developer installation

Completely uninstall and reinstall oracle 12c. The installer can be found in \\TC4S0A\GROUPS\AARA\AARAD\Software Library\Developer Tools\Oracle. Regular installation, except there is no need for any VS dev tools and can be installed system-wide. (Note: Not having Visual Studio 2015 installed might prompt the following error. Downloading Visual Studio 2015 should fix that issue.)
Unconfigure Oracle’s GAC with the attached bat file from \\Tc4s0a\groups\AARA\AARAD\NORMS.
Install the latest ODT from Oracle’s website.

Note: Although installing Visual Studio 2015 is needed for step 1, the application is run on Visual Studio 2019.

Deployment Considerations:

NORMS has been changed to use Entrust Identity Guard instead of Entrust Truepass.
They have provided dev (eigdev) and acc (eigacc) environments for EIG applications. eigdev is running on a single server but eigacc is running in web farm.
