Water service is the egov application, which helps and gives flexibility to municipal and citizen to handle the water service like apply for water connection, search water connection. The application will go on different stages that the state can verify by given roles, If that role can take the action then the application will go to the next state. Based on the state, a citizen will get 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
Kafka server is up and running
egov-persister service is running and has water service persister config path added in it
PSQL server is running and 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 action 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 based on a defined workflow. Any action is based on defined roles on the action level. For 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 which 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 connection 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 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 API’s.
Create businessService (workflow configuration) according 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 process.
Mseva and SMS notifications on application status changes.
Elastic search index for creating visualizations and Dashboards.
Supports workflow which is configurable
Steps to Integration
To integrate, host of ws-service module should be overwritten in 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.
