Duties and Responsibilities
Under the supervision of the project coordinator, and in close collaboration with other international experts, the consultant will be entrusted with the development of new functionalities for the eRegistrations platform through the following tasks: 1. Optimize the Business Process Analyzer (BPA) forms by reusing determinants configured by the analyst. Currently when an analyst uses a determinant/filter multiple times in the form, the schema of a form repeats the definition of the determinant/filter for each occurrence, leading to schema having considerable size. The purpose of this task is to define the determinant/filter only once then reuse it across the schema. 2. Upgrade custom webservice from Mule3 to Mule4. The eRegistrations platform uses Mule3 software for all custom BOTs (exchange of data). A new version of the Mule is available, and the consultant will update the syntax to match this new version to allow upgrades.
