Proctected Classes
Proctected Classes
The architects will monitor the VCS activity on these classes by running checkin/checkout reports for any violations of this policy.
Credit Card Processing
Credit Card Processing
Developers should be aware if they are modifying anything that can impact or change what we do with sensitive customer data, a senior developer must review it. Keep the PA-DSS guidelines in mind when developing in these areas is key, and you can review the Theatre Manager install documentation under PCI compliance.
The following classes in the VCS are under the protection of the Senior Architect any potential changes to these classes need to be run by them first. These are the key base classes that affect credit card sales, refunds, exchanges, or storage of the credit card data.
- Any class with a name that starts with oCCAuthorize
- Any changes to the tfCreditCard table class that stores and encrypts data in the database.
- Any file, schema and table classes for ‘Merchant Setup’ such as fMerchant, sfMerchant, and tfMerchant
- Any changes to the wMerchant window
External Components
External Components
- Theatre Map - for displaying pictures on the screen. Changes to this library are handled through a test library that exposes all functions and methods.
- TMObjs - to improve performance on a small number of string related functions. Changes to this code are tested through an automated test library. See the systems architect.
- oWrite - a word processor purchased from Brainy Data. oGantt - the gantt chart display tool purchased from Brainy Data.
When a new eternal component is available, all developers will use the latest version on their test platform while coding to uncover adverse effects for sufficient enough time as determined by the senior architect. Regression testing will also be performed prior to release by SQA.
Superclass objects
Superclass objects
- tableBase – the base table class for all database i/o
- any class that starts with ‘wModeless’ (wModeless, wModelessList, wModelessEntry, etc) – these are the 4 or 5 key windows that control and manage all GUI interaction and record i/o.
- any class that starts with ‘reportBase’ as they look after reports
- the oQuery and oQueryGroup objects as they are used to pass around an SQL query between objects.
- oStringFields - which handles specialized string manipulation
- oEditCheck - which handles special validation for certain kinds of data
- the oSecurity object that handles the Role Based Access Control
Web Listener Objects
Web Listener Objects
The object pertinent to web listeners are:
- Anything that starts with 'oWebCom' - each of which represents a unique API to the database from the web
- wWebSales - which is the GUI interface to the web component
- rtWebSales - which is the remote task started every time an end user sends a URL to the apache server.

The web sales listener can only respond to traffic sent to it via the nginx module. - cWebSales - the broker for transferring messages to/from the interface and any instance of a web object that was created
