MAPPER CSI Tool Architecture

Mapper4


CIFS file exchange CIFS is used for harvesting because it is a common method of file data interchange. CIFS helps us import data onto the MCSI workstation from either a 2200 MAPPER site or a Windows MAPPER Site.
Eclipse foundation The tools within MAPPER CSI are implemented in Eclipse and inherit many helpful routines for organizing and displaying source code. These routines are fundamental to the Eclipse IDE.
Tool packaging The major code features of the tool are collected and packaged as plugins along with other plugin features that contribute to the overall feature repertoire. The tool suite is packaged as a standalone Java application, called a “Rich Client Platform” in Eclipse terminology.
Data Repository All of the harvested data and subsequent knowledge added by the analyst is stored in an MS SQL database, which serves as the project repository.
