Using file systems to enhance performance of Income Tax Business Application (ITBA)
By: Mr. Deepak Gupta - 17th December, 2019
Issue of slow down of ITBA and problem of attaching large files
- When files are uploaded by assessee in the ITBA it is stored in the ITBA database with limitations on number and size of files uploaded.
- This can cause slow down of the system with the ever increasing user base and the volume of files uploaded in the ITBA database.
- Apart from bad user experience there is a genuine difficulty in attaching large files. This can be overcome by using a separate file server to store uploaded files and providing the link of the stored location in the ITBA database.
Suggested Solution
- The IT authorities create a dedicated and secured file repository system like a digital locker to store all file uploaded by the assessees.
- The assessees get user login in this file system along with the access to ITBA preferably by a single sign on.
- The files that the assessee wants to submit are uploaded by him on this server and its URL is provided in ITBA web form (No attachment only URL).
- To further improve the security and cohesiveness of these systems the files from the file systems can be copied to database by a backend routine which can be scheduled to run at night time when usage is low
- This way the performance of ITBA is enhanced, the issue of uploading large files is resolved and concern of loose coupling of the two systems is also addressed.
