<br />. @ <br />City of Santa Ana, CA. VINE Program Proposal <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Transfer of Transaction File - The customer makes changes to their booking system to <br />collect a transaction file, and this file is downloaded to the VINE Interface PC. The <br />file will then be forwarded by the Interface to the Appriss Communications Center. <br /> <br />Transfer of Current Reports/Database - Ifthere are existing reports or queries to collect <br />the necessary data, such as a report showing active offenders, these may be run and <br />sent to a file. This file is then transferred to the VINE Interface PC. Once there, the <br />information would be processed to extract the changes and only the changes would be <br />sent to the Appriss Communications Center. <br /> <br />Screen Scrape - This is similar to the option above. If the data exists and can not be <br />sent to a file, then the report can be run and sent to the screen. Appriss will write a <br />program to scrape this report ftom the screen to a file on the VINE Interface PC. Any <br />changes would then be sent to the Appriss Communications Center. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />4.9.3 Data Transfer <br /> <br />The following is an example of the requirements for a typical jail interface. Interfaces to <br />other criminal justice agencies are similar with the requirements of the notification types <br />being provided addressed. <br /> <br />Every 15 minutes, the VINE Gateway PC will initiate a task to collect a transaction file <br />that is created and written to by the jail management software. This file should contain <br />transactions that have occurred since the last time the file was collected. These <br />transactions will include new offenders who are booked in, offenders who are released or <br />transferred, as well as offenders who have had their basic information updated for some <br />other reason. The VINE Gateway PC will remove the transaction file after it has been <br />picked up so the jail management software will need to re-create the file if it does not <br />exist. This document shows the two preferred methods for having this information passed <br />to the VINE transaction file. It should be noted that there are a number of other suitable <br />solutions that mav be easier on the jail manaf!ement software suTJTJlier and these can be <br />discussed on an individual basis. <br /> <br />Method 1 <br /> <br />The first method involves the jail management software writing a single record out to a <br />flat ASCII file each time an offender record is updated. Note that while the length of <br />fields is not important, this record would include the following offender information: <br /> <br />FIELD NAME DESCRII'TION <br />Record Type This field will contain an identifier for inmate records, e.g. "f' <br />Offender Number Unique number given to offender as he is booked <br />Offender Name Will be broken down into First, Last, Middle <br />Social Security # <br />Date of Birth <br /> <br />All information contained in this proposal (Ver. 6.3) is the <br />confidential and proprietary property of Appriss, Inc. <br /> <br />Page 22 <br /> <br />01/01/2001 <br />Proposal # 100901228-01 <br />
