The Web Plus Administration Tool

The Web Plus Administration Tool

Abstracts that are entered, completed and released via Web Plus are stored in the SQL database which resides inside the internal firewall. Files of abstracts that are uploaded via Web Plus are also stored in the SQL database. Abstracts and uploaded files (bundle submissions) need to be exported out of the SQL database so that they can be imported into the central cancer registry database.

Because Web Plus runs on a web server that sits outside the internal firewall, for enhanced security and performance there is a separate Windows application to export files of abstracts and uploaded files called the Web Plus Administration Tool. Because this application runs in the same LAN where the Web Plus database resides files can be rapidly exported out of the database. In addition, the Web Plus Administration Tool provides an added layer of security---it can only connect to the database when it is running inside the firewall, so access to the export function is limited to local users only.
