Project name: Internet Transaction Server (ITS) 
Project leader: Mark Damian 
Report date: February 7, 2001 
Submitted by: Mark Damian
url: web.mit.edu/its-alive

Accomplishments past period: 
- Proposal prepared and submitted by Paul Hill, Mark Sprague, and others
     to determine the appropriate NT configuration of an ITS server.
- Completed SAP 4.6C upgrade endorsement testing of pilot transactions
- Continue to meet with IS/R3-Admin and IS/ASST to discuss roles and
responsibilities
     of ongoing ITS maintenance and support.
- Continue to evaluate new SAP4.6C tool, the Web Application Builder
- Received and applied newest Kerberos patch
- Began evaluation/development of Benefits Enrollment ITS transactions

Goals for the coming period
- Complete the evaluation of the Web Application Builder
- Understand more of the SAP IACore

Issues
-  Resources continue to be an issue.  Too many are spread too thin.
A few key technical resources are required on just about every major effort
going on.
-  The ITS Linux version has been pushed back to second quarter of '01.  With
this schedule,
we are cutting it very close to relying on Linux for the benefits enrollment
rollout.  We may
need to prepare a contingency plan if the Linux version of ITS does not meet
our minimum
requirements.

Team Dynamics
Things are OK.
