TECHNICAL QUESTIONS: -- The Web site will be hosted on an existing DISA server within the DISA domain. The actual Web server software is WebSite Pro ver 2.0 from O'Reilly software. The server operates in a Windows NT4.0 environment. The hardware will be provided by DISA. -- There are currently firewalls in place. The required protocol filtering will be arranged by D1 Automation and the DISC design branch at DISA. -- DISA's guidance on the development of its web pages are located at http://www.disa.mil/handbook/toc.html -- Database server software, configuration, and installation will be provided by the vendor. Since DISA has other Oracle based applications, that database engine is required. -- The current HR system for DISA is the DOD wide system Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS). The payroll system is Defense Civilian Payroll System (DCPS). Both systems are managed by DOD central design activities. -- Data import from the HR and Pay systems of record (DCPDS and DCPS) will be in delimited text format. (electronic copy) -- Future use of this system as an input source to the HR and Pay systems will necessitate tracking/auditing of changes made through the developed system. -- DOD PKI security measures and tools will be used for this system. -- Access to the system will be through the DISA Network Operations Center (NOC) which is a 24 X 7 operation. -- At present, the compatibility browsers at the IE3.0 is firm.
