transfer between Generating Units and the Genco Head-Quarters. This application
is developed from clients point of view and by keeping his requirement in mind.
Client Application is purely in GUI mode and it is user friendly.
documentation will help the users to work efficiently with this application.
project deals comprehensively about the Mailing system of Apgenco.

Here well

find the communication between Generating Units and AP-Genco Head Quarters.
The basic purpose of this project is to change the existing manual system of
recording the information in records into computerized so that it is very easy and
efficient to maintain the records and facilitates the user for future references and
forecasting.
The project has been planned to be having the view of distributed
architecture, with centralized storage of the database. The application for the
storage of the data has been planned. Using the constructs of MS-SQL Server and
all the user interfaces have been designed using the ASP.Net technologies. The
database connectivity is planned using the SQL Connection methodology. The
standards of security and data protective mechanism have been given a big choice
for proper usage. The application takes care of different modules and their
associated reports, which are produced as per the applicable strategies and
standards that are put forwarded by the administrative staff.
The entire project has been developed keeping in view of the distributed
client server computing technology, in mind. The specifications have been
normalized up to 3NF to eliminate all the anomalies that may arise due to the
database transaction that are executed by the general users and the organizational
administration. The user interfaces are browser specific to give distributed
accessibility for the overall system. The internal database has been selected as MS-2-

SQL server. The basic constructs of table spaces, clusters and indexes have been
exploited to provide higher consistency and reliability for the data storage. The MSSQL server was a choice as it provides the constructs of high-level reliability and
security. The total front end was dominated using the ASP.Net technologies. At all
proper levels high care was taken to check that the system manages the data
consistency with proper business rules or validations. The database connectivity
was planned using the latest SQL Connection technology provided by Microsoft
Corporation. The authentication and authorization was crosschecked at all the
relevant stages.

1.1. INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT

This project deals comprehensively about the Mailing system of Apenco.
Here well find the communication between Generating Units and Ap-Genco Head

1.2. PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

The basic purpose of this project is to change the existing manual system of
recording the information in records into computerized so that it is very easy and
efficient to maintain the records and facilitates the user for future references and
forecasting. However, with the advent of the Internet, it is possible to enable
power generating units and Apgenco is to access their data through a Web site.
This method of accessing information over the Internet through Web sites has
become all the easier with the advent of ASP.NET.

1.3. PROBLEM IN EXISTING SYSTEM

Cannot Upload and Download the latest updates.

In Manual system data transferring is very slow.

Risk of mismanagement and of data when the project is under

development.

Less Security.

No proper coordination between different units and apgneco.

Fewer Users - Friendly.

1.4. SOLUTION OF THESE PROBLEMS

The development of the new system contains the following activities, which try to
automate the entire process keeping in view of the database integration approach.
1. User friendliness is provided in the application with various controls.
2. The system makes the overall project management much easier and
flexible.

3. Readily upload the latest updates, allows user to download the alerts by
clicking the URL.
4. There is no risk of data mismanagement at any level while the project
development is under process.
5. It provides high level of security with different level of authentication.
6. The information transfers between units and apgneco is online only.
