Based on Yarmouk University’s efforts and keenness to modernize and develop the technology of its various systems, the Computer and Information Center completed an update to the software infrastructure of Oracle’s systems operating on the Internet, moving from the version (APEX 4.1) that was installed in the year 2006 to the version (APEX 23.2). the new version is the latest and most advanced version from Oracle, which allows the development of web-compatible programs to work on smart phone devices and provides the automatic ability to extract, analyze, and display data using visual tools.
The center's director, Dr. Mohammad Al-Zamil, said that this update included changing the composition of the systems' servers to add a new level (ORDS 23.1) that supports dealing with big data and sharing it through (REST API). He continued: As a result of this update, five systems were launched in their updated versions on the new environment, pointing out that the registration process for the second semester 2023/2024 was done using the new system. Al-Zamil indicated that a group of new services will be added to the system successively to suit the academic needs of students, noting that the new environment provides the possibility of downloading the program in form of an application on smart phones, which will be launched soon. He then explained that the councils’ system, which is used by the Board of Trustees, the Council of Deans, and Faculty councils, has been updated for each of Al-Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology and the Faculty of Educational Sciences in cooperation with the Councils Secretariat Department. The model school system, which includes the student system and the faculty member system, was also updated in cooperation with the Model school. Furthermore, a new program for the Arab Digital Library was established in cooperation with Al-Hussein Bin Talal Library at the University.
