Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) Data flow diagram (DFD) is a picture of the movement of data between external entities and the processes and data stores within a system

DFD Symbols (Gane & Sarson) Process Data Flow Data Store Source/Sink (External Entity)

Process Work or actions performed on data (inside the system) Labels should be verb phrases Receives input data and produces output

Rule 1: Process Can have more than one outgoing data flow or more than one incoming data flow

Rule 2: Process Can connect to any other symbol (including another process symbol)

Data Flow Is a path for data to move from one part of the IS to another Arrows depicting movement of data Can represent flow between process and data store by two separate arrows

Data Store Is used in a DFD to represent data that the system stores Labels should be noun phrases

Rule: Data Store Must have at least one incoming and one outgoing data flow

Source/Sink (External Entity) External entity that is origin or destination of data (outside the system) Is the singular form of a department, outside organisation, other IS, or person Labels should be noun phrases Source – Entity that supplies data to the system Sink – Entity that receives data from the system

Rule: Source/Sink Must be connected to a process by a data flow

Rules for Using DFD Symbols Data Flow That Connects YES NO A process to another process A process to an external entity A process to a data store An external entity to another external entity An external entity to a data store A data store to another data store

Context Diagram Top-level view of IS Shows the system boundaries, external entities that interact with the system, and major information flows between entities and the system. Example: Order system that a company uses to enter orders and apply payments against a customer’s balance

Level-0 DFD Shows the system’s major processes, data flows, and data stores at a high level of abstraction When the Context Diagram is expanded into DFD level-0, all the connections that flow into and out of process 0 needs to be retained.

Lower-Level Diagrams Functional Decomposition An iterative process of breaking a system description down into finer and finer detail Uses a series of increasingly detailed DFDs to describe an IS Balancing The conservation of inputs and outputs to a data flow process when that process is decomposed to a lower level Ensures that the input and output data flows of the parent DFD are maintained on the child DFD

Strategies for Developing DFDs Top-down strategy Create the high-level diagrams (Context Diagram), then low-level diagrams (Level-0 diagram), and so on Bottom-up strategy Create the low-level diagrams, then higher-level diagrams

Exercise: Precision Tools sells a line of high-quality woodworking tools. When customers place orders on the company’s Web site, the system checks to see if the items are in stock, issues a status message to the customer, and generates a shipping order to the warehouse, which fills the order. When the order is shipped, the customer is billed. The system also produces various reports. Draw a context diagram for the order system Draw DFD diagram 0 for the order system

Identify Entities,Process,Data Stores & Data Flow Entities Customer Warehouse Accounting Processes 1.0 Check Status 2.0 Issue Status Messages 3.0 Generate Shipping Order 4.0 Manage Accounts Receivable 5.0 Produce Reports Data Stores D1 Pending Orders D2 Accounts Receivable Data Flows Order In-Stock Request Order Data Status Data Status Message Shipping Order Order Data Invoice Shipping Confirmation Payment Accounting Data Accounts Receivable Data Order Data Inventory Reports 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0

System analysis and design involves analyzing business processes and requirements and designing logical systems models. Key activities include fact finding, modeling current and required systems, and producing requirements specifications and logical models. Data flow diagrams (DFDs) are a common modeling technique, depicting the flow of data through a system via processes, external entities, and data stores. DFDs are drawn at different levels of detail, with level 0 providing an overview and higher levels showing more granular decompositions of processes. Proper notation, numbering, labeling, and balancing are important for effective DFDs.

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the flow of data through a system. It shows the input and output data to the system, where data is stored, and how data is processed. DFDs do not show the timing or sequence of data processing. There are several elements to a DFD including processes, data stores, entities, and data flows. Processes transform input data into output data. Data stores represent where data is stored. Entities are sources or destinations of data outside the system. Data flows show the direction of data movement. DFDs can be physical or logical and have different levels of abstraction.

Data flow diagramsshhajira

Data flow diagrams (DFDs) are a graphical representation of the system that shows how data moves through processes. DFDs were introduced by DeMarco, Gane, and Sarson and are an important tool for system analysts. A DFD shows what data the system will process, what transformations are done to the data, where data is stored, and where results flow. Common symbols in a DFD include processes, external entities, data stores, and data flows. As an example, a DFD of a mess management system was described to show students, vendors, the mess secretary, manager, and warden as external entities and requisitions as a data flow.

The DFDAkshay Modak

The document discusses Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs), including what they are, their history, types, symbols, and levels (level 0, 1, and 2 DFDs). DFDs graphically represent the flow of data through an information system and can be used to visualize data processing. They were originally proposed in the 1970s and differ from flowcharts in that they define system functionality and show data paths rather than process steps. DFDs help describe system boundaries, support data flow logic, and improve conceptual clarity for developers and clients.

PL/SQL - CURSORSIshaRana14

Cursors in PL/SQL allow programmers to control context areas that contain information about SQL statements. There are two types of cursors: implicit cursors that are automatically created for SQL statements, and explicit cursors that are programmer-defined. Explicit cursors must be declared, opened to allocate memory, have rows fetched from them one by one, and then closed to release memory. Cursors point to context areas containing information like the number of rows processed by a SQL statement.

deadlock avoidancewahab13

Deadlock occurs when a set of blocked processes form a circular chain where each process waits for a resource held by the next process. There are four necessary conditions for deadlock: mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait. The banker's algorithm avoids deadlock by tracking available resources and process resource needs, and only allocating resources to a process if it will not cause the system to enter an unsafe state where deadlock could occur. It uses matrices to represent allocation states and evaluates requests to ensure allocating resources does not lead to deadlock.

Sales System Proces Flow ChartKathy Vinatieri

A customer wants to purchase a product. The sales associate checks product inventory and writes up a manual sales order if it is available. They then enter the order into the system. If the store is a standalone store, the front counter enters the purchase. Otherwise, sales staff enter it. The front counter or sales staff then capture customer information, use the release menu to take payment, which generates a release number. They enter this into the shipping screen to complete the transaction.

System approach and contingency approachAB Amit

This document summarizes two approaches to management: the systems approach and contingency approach. The systems approach views an organization as an open system composed of interrelated subsystems like production and management. It emphasizes studying how all parts interact rather than in isolation. However, this approach is complex and its conceptual framework is abstract. The contingency approach is situational - there is no universally best way to manage as organizations face different situations. An organization's structure must fit its environment and tasks. Effectiveness depends on properly designing the organization and leadership style to fit tasks and workers. Various contingency theories also relate effective decision making to situational factors.

A certificate securely binds a public key to the entity that holds the corresponding private key. Certificates are digitally signed by the issuing certification authority (CA) and can be issued for a user, a computer, or a service. This creates a trust relationship between two unknown entities. The CA is the Grand Pooh-bah of Validation in an organization, which everyone trusts, and in some public key environments, no certificate is considered valid unless it has been attested to by a CA. Example of a popular CA�s authority is http://www.verisign.com

Introduction All the materials around us are made up of elements. These elements can be broadly divided into two major groups: Metals Non-Metals Each group has its own unique physical and chemical properties. Let's understand them one by one. Physical Properties 1. Appearance Metals: Shiny (lustrous). Example: gold, silver, copper. Non-metals: Dull appearance (except iodine, which is shiny). 2. Hardness Metals: Generally hard. Example: iron. Non-metals: Usually soft (except diamond, a form of carbon, which is very hard). 3. State Metals: Mostly solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is a liquid). Non-metals: Can be solids, liquids, or gases. Example: oxygen (gas), bromine (liquid), sulphur (solid). 4. Malleability Metals: Can be hammered into thin sheets (malleable). Non-metals: Not malleable. They break when hammered (brittle). 5. Ductility Metals: Can be drawn into wires (ductile). Non-metals: Not ductile. 6. Conductivity Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals: Poor conductors (except graphite, which is a good conductor). 7. Sonorous Nature Metals: Produce a ringing sound when struck. Non-metals: Do not produce sound. Chemical Properties 1. Reaction with Oxygen Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. These metal oxides are usually basic. Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metallic oxides. These oxides are usually acidic. 2. Reaction with Water Metals: Some react vigorously (e.g., sodium). Some react slowly (e.g., iron). Some do not react at all (e.g., gold, silver). Non-metals: Generally do not react with water. 3. Reaction with Acids Metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas. Non-metals: Do not react with acids. 4. Reaction with Bases Some non-metals react with bases to form salts, but this is rare. Metals generally do not react with bases directly (except amphoteric metals like aluminum and zinc). Displacement Reaction More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions. Uses of Metals Iron: Making machines, tools, and buildings. Aluminum: Used in aircraft, utensils. Copper: Electrical wires. Gold and Silver: Jewelry. Zinc: Coating iron to prevent rusting (galvanization). Uses of Non-Metals Oxygen: Breathing. Nitrogen: Fertilizers. Chlorine: Water purification. Carbon: Fuel (coal), steel-making (coke). Iodine: Medicines. Alloys An alloy is a mixture of metals or a metal with a non-metal. Alloys have improved properties like strength, resistance to rusting.

Data Flow Diagram

1. How to : Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs)

2. Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) Data flow diagram (DFD) is a picture of the movement of data between external entities and the processes and data stores within a system

3. DFD Symbols (Gane & Sarson) Process Data Flow Data Store Source/Sink (External Entity)

4. Process Work or actions performed on data (inside the system) Labels should be verb phrases Receives input data and produces output

5. Rule 1: Process Can have more than one outgoing data flow or more than one incoming data flow

6. Rule 2: Process Can connect to any other symbol (including another process symbol)

7. Process: Correct/Incorrect?

8. Data Flow Is a path for data to move from one part of the IS to another Arrows depicting movement of data Can represent flow between process and data store by two separate arrows

9. Data Flow: Correct/Incorrect?

10. Data Store Is used in a DFD to represent data that the system stores Labels should be noun phrases

11. Rule: Data Store Must have at least one incoming and one outgoing data flow

12. Data Store: Correct/Incorrect?

13. Source/Sink (External Entity) External entity that is origin or destination of data (outside the system) Is the singular form of a department, outside organisation, other IS, or person Labels should be noun phrases Source – Entity that supplies data to the system Sink – Entity that receives data from the system

14. Rule: Source/Sink Must be connected to a process by a data flow

15. Source/Sink: Correct/Incorrect?

16. Rules for Using DFD Symbols Data Flow That Connects YES NO A process to another process A process to an external entity A process to a data store An external entity to another external entity An external entity to a data store A data store to another data store

17. List the errors of this DFD

18. Context Diagram Top-level view of IS Shows the system boundaries, external entities that interact with the system, and major information flows between entities and the system. Example: Order system that a company uses to enter orders and apply payments against a customer’s balance

19. Context Diagram of Order System

20. Level-0 DFD Shows the system’s major processes, data flows, and data stores at a high level of abstraction When the Context Diagram is expanded into DFD level-0, all the connections that flow into and out of process 0 needs to be retained.

21. Context Diagram of Order System

22. Level-0 DFD of Order System

23. Lower-Level Diagrams Functional Decomposition An iterative process of breaking a system description down into finer and finer detail Uses a series of increasingly detailed DFDs to describe an IS Balancing The conservation of inputs and outputs to a data flow process when that process is decomposed to a lower level Ensures that the input and output data flows of the parent DFD are maintained on the child DFD

24. Strategies for Developing DFDs Top-down strategy Create the high-level diagrams (Context Diagram), then low-level diagrams (Level-0 diagram), and so on Bottom-up strategy Create the low-level diagrams, then higher-level diagrams

25. Exercise: Precision Tools sells a line of high-quality woodworking tools. When customers place orders on the company’s Web site, the system checks to see if the items are in stock, issues a status message to the customer, and generates a shipping order to the warehouse, which fills the order. When the order is shipped, the customer is billed. The system also produces various reports. Draw a context diagram for the order system Draw DFD diagram 0 for the order system

26. Identify Entities,Process,Data Stores & Data Flow Entities Customer Warehouse Accounting Processes 1.0 Check Status 2.0 Issue Status Messages 3.0 Generate Shipping Order 4.0 Manage Accounts Receivable 5.0 Produce Reports Data Stores D1 Pending Orders D2 Accounts Receivable Data Flows Order In-Stock Request Order Data Status Data Status Message Shipping Order Order Data Invoice Shipping Confirmation Payment Accounting Data Accounts Receivable Data Order Data Inventory Reports 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0
