Understanding the HR Avatar Applications

Several web applications make up the HR Avatar Suite. These are:

ClicFlic Sites - these are web apps that have their own website login:
  • ClicFlic (http://www.clicflic.com) - this is the IMO authoring system. The complete purpose of ClicFlic is to create one IMO.
  • ClicFlic Utilities:  (http://www.clicflic.com/stutil) - performs various maintenance and troubleshooting activities for ClicFlic. 
ClicFlic Extra WebApps - these run on their own on the ClicFlic server:
  • STEJBALL - performs deployments, compiles IMOs, manages media conversion, emailing. Accessed exclusively through web services.
  • STWS - Performs file transfers and media conversions. Accessed exclusively through web services.
HR Avatar Sites
  • HR Avatar (https://www.hravatar.com) - Main HR Avatar marketing and selling, and customer accounts portal.
  • SimBuilder (http://www.simajob.com) - this is the main administration site for HR Avatar. The site is used to:
    - Define and build Sims and all their related objects.
    - Maintain the image libraries
    - Create administer testing portals
    - Manage all users
    - Create and administer test batteries
    - Create and manage organizations and sub-organizations
    - Create and manage product groups
    - Create and manage all products
    - Perform item and test analysis tasks
    - Auto-generate CT3 Sims
    - Perform various test cleanup tasks, such as archiving
  • Test Engine (http://test.hravatar.com) - Administers all tests
  • Scoring Engine (http://ts.hravatar.com) - Performs all scoring, report generation, and results distribution. Each of these functions is performed independently.
Databases

There are two databases - ClicFlic (called seenthat2) and HR Avatar (called TM2). The are totally independent. The only webapp that accesses both of them is SimBuilder. 

ClicFlic uses its own database and user management system, while the other sites all share a common database. So a user can have a logon to ClicFlic but that same logon will not work on the other sites unless a copy of the that user account is created on the HR Avatar database.

All applications have a special administrator page with various functions and information available via http://SITE DOMAIN/tools/admin/admintools.xhtml  To access these pages you need to have an overall system administrator logon.
