SOFT1902 Project
 Software
Development in Semester 2, 2004 brought something of a
different flavour from Semester 1. We were asked to design
a multithreaded client-server database system. The result?
Project Management System 2004 (PMS) is
a fully-functioning database system designed to allow businesses
to manage their resources.
Description
When managing projects, whether software development or
otherwise, organisations must find a way to organise their
resources — files, people, events. PMS 2004 makes
that easy. It keeps track of projects and their related
users, events and files, and allows centralised access
to any of those components anywhere in the world while
maintaining strict security through a group-based permissions
system, and data encryption. As it even comes with its
own Java-like scripting language, maintenance can be easily
performed with a single command.

- Enter
the port number. Pick a number greater than 32.
- Make
a note of the IP address to which the server is listening.
- Go
to the other Command Prompt window and start the client
by typing client
[IP address] [Port number], replacing the [bracketed
