Water service is the eGov application, which helps and gives flexibility to municipalities and citizens to handle the water service like applying for the water connection and searching for water connections. The application goes through different stages that the states identify for given roles. If that role takes the action then the application goes to the next state. Based on the state, a citizen gets a notification (SMS and in-app ). Citizens also can pay for application fees or employees can collect the fee for the application.
Pre-requisites
Before you proceed with the documentation, make sure the following pre-requisites are met -
Java 8
The Kafka server is up and running
egov-persister service is running and has a water service persister config path added to it
PSQL server is running and a database is created to store water connection/application data
knowledge of eGov-mdms service, eGov-persister, eGov-idgen, eGov-sms, eGov-email,eGov-user, eGov-localization, eGov-workflow-service will be helpful.
Key Functionalities
Apply for a water connection.
Searching for water connections.
Apply for property creation.
Can take different actions based on state (Workflow)
Notification based on the application state.
Environment Variables
Description
egov.waterservice.createwaterconnection
This variable contains the kafka topic name which is used to create new water connection application in the system.
egov.waterservice.updatewaterconnection
This variable contains the kafka topic name which is used to update the existing water connection application in the system.
Provide the absolute path of the checked-in file to DevOps, to add it to the file-read path of egov-indexer. The file will be added to the egov-indexer's environment manifest file for it to be read at the start-up of the application.
Run the egov-indexer app, Since it is a consumer, it starts listening to the configured topics and indexes the data.
Modify connection
After connection activation or legacy connection, we can edit the connection. This process is based on a defined workflow. Any action is based on defined roles on the action level. For the edit connection, we need to upload some supporting documents and mandatory info.
Workflow config for edit connection
Create businessService (workflow configuration) using the __/businessservice/_create. Following is the product configuration for editing the water connection.
Notification will be sent to the property owners and connection holders based on different application states.
Capturing connection holders
We can add connection holders to the water connection who will be the owner of the connection. We can fill in the connection holders' details or we can just make the property owner to the connector holder.
The connection holder will get a notification based on a different state of the application. We are pushing the data of the connection holders in the user service too.
Multiple Road Type Support
We can add road-cutting details of multiple roads to the water connection. For each road that goes undercutting process, we have to fill in their road type details and road cutting area.
Based on this information, the application one-time fee estimate is calculated.
Deployment Details
Add MDMS configs required for water connection registration and restart MDMS service.
Deploy the latest version of ws-services service.
Add water-service and water-services-meter persister yaml path in persister configuration and restart persister service.
Add role-action mapping for APIs.
Create businessService (workflow configuration) accordingly for trade water connection, modify water connection
Add ws-service indexer yaml path in indexer service configuration and restart indexer service.
Integration Details
Integration Scope
This ws-service module is used to manage water service connections against a property in the system.
Integration Benefits
Provide backend support for the different water connection registration processes.
Mseva and SMS notifications on application status changes.
Elastic search index for creating visualizations and Dashboards.
Supports workflow which is configurable
Integration Steps
To integrate, a host of ws-service modules should be overwritten in the helm chart.
/ws-services/wc/_create should be added as the create endpoint for creating water application/connection in the system
/ws-services/wc/_search should be added as the search endpoint. This method handles all requests to search existing records depending on different search criteria
/ws-services/wc/_update should be added as the update endpoint. This method is used to update fields in existing records or to update the status of the application based on workflow.
