[Audio narration:]

You have learned GSS system architecture and 5 components. Let’s practice to put this knowledge into some practice

[Arial Narrow, 20, dark blue]

[Instruction:] Let’s check your understanding of GSS system architecture and its 5 components: If a user reported that she
couldn’t view any material stock request data from “inventory management” module, which system component could be wrong?

[Options:] [Arial Narrow, 20, dark orange]

Business Intelligence, Application Server, Databases [correct], Web Components, Integration Framework

[Feedback:]
• Correct: That's right! You identify the right component. Material stock requests are business operational data. If the data can’t
be retrieved. Something must be wrong with the databases
• Incorrect: Remember that materials stock requests are business operational data. The user is having trouble retrieving
the data, so the answer is “Databases”. You can click ”Continue” to review the database component

[Instruction:] [Arial Narrow, 20, dark blue]

Knowledge Check#2: After you fixed the database problem, now the user can see the material stock request data without any
problem. However, she complained that she couldn’t export the data on the screen to Excel spreadsheet. Which part could be
wrong this time?

[Options:] [Arial Narrow, 20, orange]

• Business Intelligence

• Application Server

• Databases

• Web Components

• Integration Framework [correct]

[Feedback:]

Correct: Excel spreadsheet is a Microsoft Office application. Something must be wrong with the integration of GSS Application
Server with Microsoft application. Integration Framework component needs to be checked. Click “Next” to continue

Incorrect: Exporting data to Excel spreadsheet is related to integration with Microsoft office. You can click “Review” to review
