Introduction
Assignment 2 is a continuation of Assignment 1 Milestone 4 and will complete the account ticketing
system. The ticketing component will be added among other improvements. Additional business and
data validation rules will be required to ensure a higher quality data store is maintained including
security and overall application functionality. Agents will have more features available including ticket
management and data persistence (using files) so when data is modified, the changes are retained and
can be reloaded when the application is later restarted.
For assignment 2, you will be provided with a set of generalized instructions and given more freedom
to create your own solution (this means creating your own functions, macro's, and deciding in what
file they should be placed). However, you must use the data types and functions that are explicitly
stated).
Preparation
Download or clone the Assignment 2 (A2) from https://github.com/Seneca-144...
In the directory: A2/MS1 you will find the Visual Studio project files ready to load. Open the project
(a2ms1.vcxproj) in Visual Studio.
IMPORTANT
? You will need to copy your work from Assignment 1 Milestone 4 and add all the header and
source code files to the a2ms1 Visual Studio project before continuing.
? Remember to update the comments at the top of each file to reflect Assignment 2 Milestone 1.
? DO NOT ADD the a1ms4.c file.
Milestone – 1 (Worth 10%, Target Due Date: November 19
th)
Milestone – 1 does not require a submission and does not have a specific deadline, however, you
should target to have this part completed no later than November 19
th to ensure you leave enough
time to complete Milestone – 2 which must be submitted and is due November 26th
.
Milestone-1 includes the main function and should not be modified (a2ms1.c). This main will do some
preliminary data type testing by creating some test data using the new data types and then launch the
application logic by calling the applicationStart function accordingly.
SDDS Fall – 2021 School of Software Design and Data Science
SDDS School of Software Design and Data Science Page | 2
This milestone focuses on accommodating some new data types and extending/improving on data
validation routines including implementing additional business logic (rules and conditions for data).
Specifications
New Data Types
You will need to create three (3) new data types in this milestone ("Message", "Ticket", and
"AccountTicketingData") which will complete what is needed for this application.
Review the a2ms1.c file (more specifically the "main" and "populateTickets" functions) to learn more
about the field information used in these new data types based on the data being assigned.
The "Message" and "Ticket" data types will need to be defined in a new header file "ticket.h" (don't
forget to apply the safeguarding technique as described in Assignment 1).
Message type
? The Message data type has three members. The 1st member is a single character representing the
account type of the author of the message (same as used in the Account type). The 2nd member
represents the display name for a given user (same as used in the Account type) and should be able
to accommodate 30 printable characters. The 3rd member represents the message details and
should be sized to accommodate 150 printable characters.
? Create meaningful member names for each.
Ticket type
? The Ticket type has six (6) members.

Unique number for a ticket.
Customer account number related to the ticket.
A ticket status indicator where 0 represents closed and 1 represent active (still open)
A subject line (like an email subject) that should accommodate up to 30 printable characters.
A counter that represents the number of messages associated with the ticket.
An array of Message types that should be able to store up to 20 messages.
? Create meaningful member names for each.
AccountTicketingData type
? This new data type is provided for you below and should be placed in the existing header file
"accountTicketingUI.h". This type will be used to help simplify the passing of data between key
functions with more efficiency and readability.
struct AccountTicketingData
{
struct Account* accounts; // array of accounts
const int ACCOUNT_MAX_SIZE; // maximum elements for account array
struct Ticket* tickets; // array of tickets
const int TICKET_MAX_SIZE; // maximum elements for ticket array
};
? Review the a2ms1.c file to see how this is instantiated and used.

Application Logic Entry-Point
The function parameters for "applicationStart" will need to be modified so it receives just one
argument which is a pointer to the new "AccountTicketingData" type.
? Update the necessary function definition to use the new argument accordingly (after
reading and implementing the menu changes below).
Menu Modifications
menuAgent
? The function used for the agent main menu "menuAgent" currently has three (3) parameters but
will require modification. Since the accounts array and its maximum size information are now
members of the new data type "AccountTIcketingData", the existing first two parameters can be
replaced with a pointer to the new "AccountTicketingData" type. This means this function should
now only have two (2) parameters.
? Update the necessary function definition to use the new argument accordingly.
? The menuAgent function should be modified to display five (5) more menu options (5 – 9).
Selecting any of these new options will display a temporary notice that the feature is not
currently available. Review the sample output for details.
Data Validation and Business Rules
You should apply system library functions like the character analysis and manipulators you have
recently learned about to help enforce data validation and business rules where appropriate (review
your code and apply where necessary).
New Account
? The application currently prompts the user for an account number when creating a new Account.
This is not ideal and needs to be replaced with an auto-generated account number based on the
next increment of the highest number found in the accounts data set.
o Upgrade your process for creating a new account so the account number is automatically
assigned before getting user input for the remaining data. The account number should also
be displayed as part of the title/banner (see below sample, the 50600 was automatically
assigned).
o Prompting for a new account should therefore start with the account type like this:
New Account Data (Account#:50600)Enter the account type (A=Agent | C=Customer):
User Login
? Enhance the validation for obtaining the UserLogin member that stores the login identifier and do
not allow any whitespace characters (spaces and tabs etc.). Below is an example of an attempt to
enter whitespace characters:
User Login Data InputEnter user login (10 chars max): my login
ERROR: The user login must NOT contain whitespace characters.
SDDS Fall – 2021 School of Software Design and Data Science
SDDS School of Software Design and Data Science Page | 4
Enter user login (10 chars max): my login
ERROR: The user login must NOT contain whitespace characters.
Enter user login (10 chars max):
? Enhance the validation for obtaining the UserLogin member that stores the password to enforce
the password meets the new criteria (see example below):
Enter the password (must be 8 chars in length): password
SECURITY: Password must contain 2 of each:
Digit: 0-9
UPPERCASE character
lowercase character
symbol character: !@#$%^&*
Enter the password (must be 8 chars in length): aaAA#$12
Note: "aaAA#$12" is valid because it meets the password validation criteria.
Person
? Enhance the Person data input processes (when adding new or updating) so that entered values for
the country member are stored as all UPPERCASE characters (the user should be able to enter
lowercase characters and you will convert it to uppercase accordingly).

Follow the on-screen submission instructions.
Milestone – 2 (Worth 20%, Due Date: November 26TH)
Milestone – 2 will involve refinements to be made to any appropriate code that would benefit from
using the string library (string.h). In addition, the login procedure and requirements will be enhanced
to include more robust authentication. This will involve the prompting of the user for their account
number, login identifier, and password to be validated before being given access to the system (only
three (3) attempts will be permitted and if not successful, will be returned to the login menu). Lastly,
support for creating, viewing, and managing of ticket information will be added.
Milestone-2 includes the main function which should not be modified (a2ms2.c). The main function
will populate account and ticketing data to be used in testing the changes and new features before
handing off the process to your business logic, starting in the applicationStart function.
Specifications
Reminder
You will be provided with a set of generalized instructions and given more freedom to create your own
solution and unless otherwise explicitly stated, you should create your own functions and macro's
where appropriate, including deciding in what file they should be placed.
String Library
? Review all your code and upgrade where necessary to use functions available from the string
library. Functions you should be considering can be any of the following (but no others):
strlen, strcpy, strcat, strcmp, strncat, strncmp, strncpy, strchr, strrchr
SDDS Fall – 2021 School of Software Design and Data Science
SDDS School of Software Design and Data Science Page | 12
Business Rules and Logic Modifications
Login Process
? The login process currently only prompts for an account number to permit access to the system.
This must be changed to incorporate more robust authentication. This will now include prompting
for the following:
? Account number (Note: Only agent type accounts can login)
? User login identifier
? Password
? The combined validation of all these pieces of information will determine if the user can have
access to the system. If all three pieces of information combined match with the system data then
the application should launch the agent main menu.
? Only three (3) attempts are permitted. If the 3rd attempt does not match the records for the
provided account and user information, the user should be returned to the starting menu.
? Review the sample output carefully to see how the process should work when invalid account
numbers, and/or invalid user login identifiers, and/or invalid passwords are entered.
? Note: You do not want to disclose to the user which of the three (3) fields were incorrect – doing so
helps hackers determine where they have guessed correctly! You will also want to avoid disclosing
the field length limits as this is very useful information to a hacker.
Remove an Account (agent menu option #3)
? Removal of an account should also remove any tickets (set to a safe empty state) that are
associated with the account.
? The result message should be updated to include the number of tickets removed:
Account Removed! (? tickets removed)
Note: Replace ? with the number of tickets that were removed.
Viewing Tickets
? Currently, the agent main menu options #5-#7 to list new, active, and closed tickets indicates the
feature is currently unavailable. This must now be replaced with the functionality to display all the
appropriate tickets for the respective views (new, active, or closed).
? New tickets are determined based on two field values. The ticket status must be open (will have a
value of 1) and there will be only one (1) message.
Note: Tickets will always have at least one message, and the first message will always be
associated with a customer type (the first message describes the ticket issue).
? Active tickets are determined based on the status being open (will have a value of 1) and this
listing will include new tickets.
? Closed tickets are determined based on the status being closed (will have a value of 0).
SDDS Fall – 2021 School of Software Design and Data Science
SDDS School of Software Design and Data Science Page | 13
? All ticket listing views will include six (6) pieces of information:
? Ticket number
? Account number
? Customer's full name *
*Hint: see "note" above regarding ticket construction. You may assume the 1st message in a
ticket will be authored by a customer.
? Ticket status
? Subject line
? Number of messages
? Review the sample output to see how this should work including what content should be displayed
and the desired tabular format.
? You will notice, after displaying the main ticket summaries, the user should have the option to
enter a specific ticket number to view the messages related to that specific ticket.
Note: Only the tickets that are listed may be entered otherwise display the error message:
ERROR: Invalid ticket number.
? Review the sample output to see how the contents of the messages should be displayed.
? When the user enters a zero (0), control will be returned to the ticket menu.
Add New Ticket (menu option #8)
Currently, the agent main menu option #8 indicates the feature is currently unavailable. This must
now be replaced with the functionality to create a new customer ticket.
? The system must automatically determine the next available ticket number (follows the same logic
applied in the generation of the next account number).
Note: If the ticketing system has reached the maximum allowable number of tickets, the following
error message should be displayed and then return to the main menu:
ERROR: Ticket listing is FULL, call ITS Support!
? All new tickets are immediately set to the "ACTIVE" status.
? The customer's account number must be associated with the new ticket being created.
Note: Agent type account holders are not permitted to have tickets, therefore, if the account
number entered belongs to an agent type, the following error message should be shown:
ERROR: Agent accounts can't have tickets!
? The main subject of the ticket must be entered that concisely summarizes the purpose of the ticket
(the problem).
? It is mandatory an initial message be entered that details the reason for the ticket.
Hint: You can guarantee and assume that all tickets will have at least one message and that the first
message will be associated to the customer.
? The account type and respective full name must be recorded with the message.
SDDS Fall – 2021 School of Software Design and Data Science
SDDS School of Software Design and Data Science Page | 14
Manage a Ticket (menu option #9)
Currently, the agent main menu option #9 indicates the feature is currently unavailable. This must
now be replaced with the functionality to manage a ticket.
? The agent must enter a valid ticket number to be modified. If it is invalid display an error message:
ERROR: Invalid ticket number.
? The agent may modify the ticket in four (4) possible ways:
Add a CUSTOMER message
Add an AGENT message
Attempting to add a message to a closed ticket should display the error:
ERROR: Ticket is closed - new messages are not permitted.
Attempting to add a message beyond the maximum message limits should display the error:
ERROR: Message limit has been reached, call ITS Support!
Close the ticket (only if it is currently active)
o When the ticket is already in a closed state, an error message should be displayed:
ERROR: Ticket is already closed!
o The agent should be prompted to confirm their action
o Display a confirmation message when the operation is complete
Re-open a ticket to make it ACTIVE again
o When the ticket is already in an active state, an error message should be displayed:
ERROR: Ticket is already active!
o The agent should be prompted to confirm their action
o Display a confirmation message when the operation is complete
? Review the sample output to see how the ticket management options should be presented.

Milestone – 3 (Worth 10%, Target Due Date: November 30th)
Milestone – 3 does not require a submission and does not have a specific deadline, however, you
should target to have this part completed no later than November 30th to ensure you leave enough
time to complete Milestone – 4 which will be due December 3
rd
.
The last major component to be added will involve the implementation of persistent storage of the
account and ticketing data. The system will require the functionality to load account and ticket
information from text files (the storing of account and ticket information to files will be required for
Milestone-4).
Milestone-3 includes the main function and, like previous milestones, should not be modified
(a2ms3.c). The provided main requires you to develop two functions that are responsible for reading
data from two text files: one for the account data and the other for the ticket data. Once the data is
SDDS Fall – 2021 School of Software Design and Data Science
SDDS School of Software Design and Data Science Page | 17
read from the files and stored into memory, the main will launch the application logic by calling the
applicationStart function.
Specifications
The application will need to add support for reading data from text files – there are two (2) text files
involved:
accounts.txt
The "accounts.txt" file is responsible for storing all the system's account data. Each member of the
Account data type is represented in the data and delimited using a tilde (~) symbol. Review the
contents of this file carefully. (See the file included with this project.)
Hint: Review how the data is stored differently based on the account type!
tickets.txt
The "tickets.txt" file is responsible for storing all the system's ticket data (including messages). Each
member of the Ticket data type is represented in the data and delimited using a pipe (|) symbol.
Review the contents of this file carefully – particularly how it stores the related messages. (See the file
included with this project.)
Application Start
? The starting routine of the application (from main) must read from the accounts.txt and tickets.txt
files to prepare the system for operation. Review the main() code in a2ms3.c and develop the
necessary functions that are called which populate the Account and Ticket type array's.
Warning
It is possible the data files can have more records in them than your application is designed to
store. You must apply the necessary logic to ensure you don't attempt to over-stuff your
arrays.
Testing
After coding the required functions to load the data from the text files, you should be able to run the
application and produce the same results as shown in the "A2-MS3: Sample Output" section.
A2-MS3: Sample Output

Milestone – 4 (Worth 20%, Due Date: December 3rd)
This will be the final milestone for the account ticketing system application. In this milestone, you will
complete the implementation of persistent storage of the account and ticketing data process. The
system will require the functionality to save account and ticket information to text files.
This is your last chance to refine your work! The completion of this milestone is a culmination of weeks
of hard work, and you should celebrate it by polishing it with all the refinements you can think of and
make it a piece of work you can be proud of. Therefore (and to be eligible to receive maximum marks),
it is expected you will thoroughly review your code and…
Implement all necessary changes as per your instructor's feedback from previous milestones.
Beautify your code so it is easy to read and maintain, which includes:
? Consistent formatting of code (indentation and line-spacing).
? Use of sufficient comments that concisely describe critical sections of logic to maximize the
understanding of your code where the code is otherwise not quickly easy to read.
? Applying best practices for variable, function, and parameter naming.
? Following the style guidelines as demonstrated by the course notes, video examples,
previous tests quizzes, and your professor's examples.
Remove any violations of the single-entry single-exit principle (see course notes regarding the use
of flags to control logic flow).
Apply as best you can, the design principles for modularity and structured design as described in
the course notes.
Specifications
When an agent log's out of their session and returns to the main login menu, the current state of the
accounts array must be saved to the accounts.txt file (recreates the file). The current state of the
tickets array must also be saved to the tickets.txt file (recreates the file) and displays the number of
records saved to each file. Review the sample output where an agent log's out to see how this should
work.

Suggestion
Be sure to copy the provided original "accounts.txt" and "tickets.txt" files ("accountMaster.txt" and
"ticketMaster.txt") located in your source code directory after each execution of your program for
retesting. This will be required now that you will be modifying these files after each execution! Always
work from a fresh state with each execution of your program!
You may also want to look into creating a ".bat" (Windows) or bash (Linux/Mac OS) script file that will
automate copying the files for you!
Note: The solution data text files ("accounts-long-final.txt" or "account-short-final.txt" and "ticketslong-final.txt"
or "tickets-short-final.txt") are provided for you with this milestone's project located in
the sub-directory: "correct-data-file-outputs" so you can compare and confirm you have successfully
written the records correctly (use the appropriate files that match the submission type you plan to
use).
A2-MS4: Sample Output (LONG)
The LONG submission option will qualify you to potentially earn a maximum of 100% (A+).
Please review the file "A2MS4-LONG-OUTPUT.pdf" (located in the sub-directory: "sample-output")
which should be used for this submission option. Also available, is a text file "a2ms2_4-longinputs.txt"
which contains only the user inputs and can be used to help automate testing your work by
copying and pasting it into your command window.
Confirm your resulting "accounts.txt" and "tickets.txt" files against the provided solution text files
"accounts-long-final.txt" and "tickets-long-final.txt" (located in the sub-directory: "correct-data-fileoutputs").
A2-MS4: Sample Output (SHORT)
The SHORT submission option will qualify you to potentially earn a maximum of 70% (B).
Please review the file "A2MS4-SHORT-OUTPUT.pdf" (located in the sub-directory: "sample-output")
which should be used for this submission option. Also available, is a text file "a2ms2_4-shortinputs.txt"
which contains only the user inputs and can be used to help automate testing your work by
copying and pasting it into your command window.

NOT including the mandatory functions stated in the specifications from Assignments 1 and 2, LIST
all the functions (use the prototypes) you created. Categorize them by module/library in the
following sequence (if you did not create any functions for a given module/library, simply state
"None developed"):
a) commonHelpers.h
b) account.h
c) ticket.h
d) accountTicketingUI.h
Identify two (2) major components (features) from the assignment that you enjoyed developing
and detail why you found it enjoyable. Your answer must be at least 200 words but no more than
300.
Identify two(2) major components (features) from the assignment that you disliked developing and
detail why you found it so unlikable. Your answer must be at least 200 words but no more than
300.
NOTE: The submission process cannot be one of those reasons!
Reflections will be graded based on the published rubric:
