Introduction

The container for the OpenRAP 2.0 has been developed on top of ext-framework. The additions on top of ext-framework are:

  1. SDK's like Global, Settings & Download Manager
  2. While the ext-framework has been designed to add plugins within a single application, the use case of OpenRAP 2.0 is that each application is a plugin within OpenRAP. Therefore OpenRAP container has been built on top of ext-framework to support this capability

Following is the high level component diagram of OpenRAP 2.0

	|----/files/ // Folder where the files are either download/imported
	|--------/file1.ar // Sample file
	|----/ecars/ // Folder where the ecar files are stored

Download Manager


Below explains the process of downloading content when a user request for it, the steps are 

  1. Download Manager is initialised with config and will be ready to take the request
  2. When a user request for the download Sunbird Ed Plugin forward request to download Queue
  3. If download manager is available it will download the content and once it is download
  4.  It will raise an event and plugin will listen to that event
  5. With event data it will extract the ECAR and index the content in content database

Telemetry Sync

...

Here we have two approaches to sync telemetry efficiently below will explain the them with pros and cons and concludes on one.

Solution 1:

This solution is having two steps to sync the telemetry in first step there will be a process which will execute every <x> minutes(configurable) in this method below steps are performed

  1. Read the events form telemetry database
  2. Events will be divided into equal numbers as batches of size <x> events(configurable)
  3. The events will be compressed(.gzip) and stored in telemetry folder
  4. Same events will be deleted from Telemetry database.

Image Removed

Below diagram shows the second step process which is again a process which will execute in every <x> minutes(configurable)  below are the steps executed

  1. Check the internet connectivity if available read all the event(s) files from telemetry folder
  2. Sync the events to server and after each file is synced move them to telemetryArchive folder
  3. The files in telemetry archive folder will be deleted in <x> days(configurable)

Image Removed

Pros:

1. No dependency on database availability while syncing telemetry to server

2. There is clear separation in creation of compressed telemetry and syncing compressed telemetry to server

3. If the database is crashed or uninstalled by user still we  have telemetry in file system since we are reading and storing them in file system

Cons:

1. User can delete the telemetry files from file system

2. More number of I/O operation on file system

3. Possibility of telemetry sync failure is high

Solution 2:

This solution will have only one process which will be executed in every <x> minutes(configurable) . Below are the steps

  1. Check for network connection if available ready the events from telemetry database
  2. Events will be divided into equal numbers as batches of size <x> events(configurable)
  3. Sync the events to server and after each file is synced move them to telemetryArchive folder
  4. The files in telemetry archive folder will be deleted in <x> days(configurable)
  5. Same events will be deleted from Telemetry database
  6. Above steps from step3 to step5 will be executed in series for each batch of events

Image Removed

Pros:

1. Less chance of telemetry being lost due to user actions

2. Telemetry  sync failure is low

3. Less number of I/O operation which result in more performance

4. Easy to develop and test

5. There is single source of data which is not synced to server which will help in export process.

...

1. Dependency on database availability

2.  Possibility of duplicate telemetry sync if the process execution time is less

Conclusion: We will go with the solution 2 since there is less chance of losing telemetry in the process of syncing it to server and possibility of  the user being able to easily access the file system compare to database more.
