Senior Project - Explanation
TIVOLI SERVICE DESK ARCHITECHTURE
• TSD (Tivoli Service Desk)
supports the use of 6
database platforms.
Each of these platforms
require a different set of
scripts to build the
database
• This project would
generate platform specific
scripts based on a single
document
CLIENT
RDBMS
DB/2,
DB/2 MAINFRAME,
ORACLE,
SQL SERVER,
INFORMIX,
OR SYBASE
SERVER
DATABASE

Senior Project - Issues/Challenges
 Analyzing the subtle differences in all supported RDBMS platforms
 A determination would have to be made in the requirements phase
as to which scripts would be addressed
– Create Tables
– Drop Tables
– Create Views
– Drop Views
– Create Triggers
– Create Indexes
Senior Project - Potential Direction

schema in XML
• Create a Java utility to
parse the XML and then
generate the appropriate
platform-specific
database scripts
