Filling the Missing Link
The BOR now had the first two pieces of their system: the DDBS and the FIX/32. All that stood between
them and their new system now was a way
to integrate the pieces.
Factors in the Integration Process
- There was no precedent for them to
follow. The BOR was trying to construct a
system that had never been constructed before.
- Two independent pieces of software. The BOR was working with two independent pieces of software with
two different sets of operating capabilities.
- Internally developed and commercial
products. The DDBS was internally developed by
the BOR.
- Matching Interfaces. The FIX/32 had many interfaces to control devices, but the SCADA
system form the BOR had developed was not one of them.
- Time. Constructing the middleware could take months, possibly years. The BOR did
not have that sort of time- their old system was falling apart.
