Description
A National Help Desk infrastructure providing follow-up and tracking must be
set up for Customs Officers.
CDPS must provide an integrated online context-sensitive ‘Help’ feature. In
addition, the “Help” feature must be designed and implemented to allow Subject
Matter Experts to access, edit and update the help screens in Macedonian
language and relate the help message to applicable business rules so that when
the business rules change, the need to update the relevant help messages can be
easily identified.
All documentation produced to design, develop, deploy, implement and support
CDPS forms part of the solution and the MCA must have free and unfettered
access to it for its own use. This is to allow the MCA to assume responsibility
for making or for outsourcing modification/enhancements to CDPS, thereby
eliminating dependency on external vendors.

5.2.7 Data Warehouse and Reporting
This section details the technical and functional requirements for the CDPS-related Data Warehouse
that needs to be implemented for MCA. It is desirable that a data warehouse is built as part of the
CDPS.
Number Description
DW-0010 DWS must not affect the response time of the TPS.
DWS has to perform its processors/disks/database tasks associated with querying
and reporting on servers/disks/databases not used by the CDPS transaction
processing systems.
DW-0020 DWS should use data models that speed up and optimise querying and reporting
tasks. It is expected that these data models will be different from the data models
in the CDPS TPS.
DW-0030 DWS shall use server and database technologies that speed up processing of
queries and reports such as bit-mapped indexing, and shall not use database
technologies which are optimised for TPS such as transaction recovery.
DW-0040 DWS shall provide an environment where a relatively small amount of
knowledge of the technical aspects of database technology is required to write
and maintain queries and reports and/or to provide a means to speed up the
writing and maintaining of queries and reports by MCA’s IT staff.
DW-0050 DWS shall aggregate (e.g. extract, transform, and load) data from CDPS, other
MCA’s TPSs, and external data sources, and shall thus make it easier to query
and report from such data on a regular basis.
DW-0060 DWS shall provide a repository for data from a longer time period than can
efficiently be held in a TPS, and can allow for execution of queries and
