Converting the Oracle Database Character SetGus Miklos
CSSCAN was run to identify issues preventing direct conversion of the database character set from WE8MSWIN1252 to AL32UTF8. CSSCAN found that some data dictionary and application data contained columns that would be truncated or experience data loss during conversion. A multi-step process is outlined to clean up invalid objects, export convertible data, disable constraints, truncate problematic tables, and perform post-conversion checks before and after running CSALTER to perform the actual character set migration.

- A brief history of AI from the 1980s "AI winter" period of failed projects through to recent advances enabled by improved hardware and new research areas like machine learning.
- Knowledge representation and reasoning, rule engines, hybrid reasoning systems, and expert systems are introduced as key concepts in AI.
- The advantages of using a rule engine are discussed, as well as when rule engines are appropriate versus other approaches like scripting engines. The Rete algorithm, which is commonly used in rule engines, is also introduced.
BlueDoc is a document management system that allows users to store and manage documents through a client-server platform. It features powerful search capabilities, custom document categories, version control, and workflow management. The document outlines key concepts like documents, folders, templates, users/groups, and permissions.

Business Case Analysis
Thomas’ House of Antiques & Treasures
Technical Feasibility (low-to-medium risk)
Familiarity with application (low)
• This is an entirely new system that THAT is unfamiliar with. They will need to be
trained on proper use of the labeling system, use of Wordpress for item updates,
the new registrar system and website; as well as QR codes and use of the
application in the maintenance phase.
• THAT can have their old registering system as a backup if problems occur on the
website or the application.
• The website will use Wordpress to allow for easy GUI-based management and
updates for THAT’s staff.
• The Business Squad consultants will familiarize themselves with use of the new
system and technology to properly train the employees at THAT.
• The Business Squad will have to learn new programming and design techniques
to properly implement the system.
Familiarity with Technology (moderate)
• THAT has moderate experience with technology. Thomas has some computer
experience, and his employees are familiar with using PCs to manually register
users and store financial data.
• The staff does not have the expertise to design a new system or perform
advanced troubleshooting on the system implemented. THAT will rely on the
ongoing and continuing support of The Business Squad to patch and make
modifications to the system.
• Consultants at The Business Squad have moderate-to-advanced experience with
website integration and fair experience with application development and
database management.
Project size (moderate)
• Business Squad estimates that the project will be initially moderate in size but
will expand as the application is adapted and perfected.
• Eventually, Business Squad hopes to expand the project to open consumer use
so that THAT’s customers and employees may access item information and data
through the combination of QR codes and an application, browse items and
track their own consignments.
• However, to begin with; the website will be used by employees to track items,
customers and purchases, and by customers to register for auction and browse
items before night of sale.
• Long term maintenance, upgrades, expansions and upkeep of the new system
will be provided by The Business Squad to THAT.

Economical Feasibility (Medium Risk)
Please see attached spreadsheet for details.
The THAT project was designed to help Thomas track items before, during, and after
auctions, as well as keeping information about bidders.
Tangible costs and benefits
• 104% ROI over a five year period
• Total benefits after five years amounts to $749,991.92
• Decrease the number of miscounted and lost items
• Reduce printing expenses
• Reduce postage expenses
• Increase customer base
Intangible costs and benefits
• Improve customer service
• Improve THAT staff’s efficiency
• Improved how information is received by bidders
• Increased interaction with bidders
Organizational Feasibility (Excellent)
Project champion:
• Falon LaRose, Project Manager
Management:
• There is strong support from the THAT and project sponsor, Thomas.
Project Consultant:
• Jessica Morris, Information Systems Major at VCU
Users:
• The users will be the different types of bidders that the auction house interacts
with: new, preferred, absentee, telephone, and clients.
• The THAT staff that includes: four office staff members, one auctioneer, and the
list of temporary employees,
• It is expected that all bidders and THAT staff will enthusiastically use the
proposed system and benefit from it.
Other Stakeholders:
• The original owners of the items that are for sale
Additional Comments
• Rent a server when needed to reduce costs instead of investing in owning a new
one, begin using a small shared hosting plan
• The website will be hosted by an external host (WordPress)

date. During in-person meetings, a group member should always create an online copy
that is a summary and outline of the meeting. Google documents are the official and
important records of our projects throughout the semester. Google Drive participation
is mandatory and acts as a direct form of attendance.
Code of Conduct
1. Keep a positive attitude toward the team, individual members, projects and
course.
2. Make criticisms constructive with suggestions for improvement and
nonjudgmental language
3. Do the work that has been assigned to you. Don’t push your work off to another
team member because you decided not to do your part. If you need help, please
ask.
4. All project team members confront issues directly and promptly.
5. Project team members have the responsibility to notify any potential difficulties
in meeting the schedule for any assigned tasks as soon as it is known by the team
member.
6. Each project team member is responsible for ensuring anticipated workload
conflicts with other assignments are brought to the attention of the project
team. Team members should ask for help if feeling “stuck” or falling behind the
schedule instead of waiting for a miracle.
7. All team members are responsible to own, followup and provide updates on the
assigned task (including but not limited to any identified risks, issues, changes,
approvals, clarification from professor). If any delay is observed, see vote policy.
If a noticeable or impacting amount of delay is observed, the team willnotify the
professor requesting an F for group member. The group member agrees to this F
as part of this team charter.
Decision Making Procedure:
Consensus is required on all major team decisions. Responsibilities are to be assigned in
the beginning of the project. Because most of the meetings occur virtually, an
acceptable way of assigning duties is through Groupme or email. Once the team
member has been notified through Groupme or email, they have 48 hours to either
accept or reject provided they have a better alternative and it equates to an equal
workload.
Team Communication
All team members maintain their contact info on the team contact list with contact
preference. The main forms of communication for this team are GroupMe, email,
Google Drive. Each project team member is responsible for ensuring anticipated
workload conflicts with other assignments are brought to the attention of the project
