⩥ According To You, What Is The Basic Role Of A Computer System
Analyst? Answer: First of all, a computer system analyst should provide
a suitable user-friendly system through his/her analysis and evaluation
skills.
Secondly, a system analyst should always recommend other possible
adaptable solutions and within that, he/she should suggest what will be
the quality solution as well as a cost-effective solution for a particular
situation.
Thirdly, the analyst should create explicitly detailed specifications that
will be easy to understand for a programmer as well as end-users.
Fourthly, the analyst should prepare a system design that is logical at the
same time it should be modular in nature.
⩥ Explain The Process Of Analyzing The Existing System. Answer: I
have to analyze the system and it's execution,note down the key
personnel working on the system and spend some time with the
operating personnel to observe the finer details of the system
performance.
,Then I have to define the scope and objective of the system and collect
all-important output and documents of the system.
After that, I have to make a guideline, note down the checkpoints and
controls used in the system, study the data flow between units,
understand output reports, memos, statements, etc., and create a base
document to present before management.
Feasibility analysis is very important after that which will determine
whether the system met the intended objective or not. If there is any
deviation I should be in a position to draw a revised system flow chart
and discuss it with the operating personnel.
Comparing the cost-effectiveness of the new system with the old is very
important after that.
If the revised system is cost-effective and needed, then after getting
permission from the decision-makers about the revised version of the
system, it should start with the documentation writing for departmental
use.
⩥ When you begin a new project, which types of requirements do you
gather? Use a specific example from your experience. Answer: First, I
collect the technical requirements of the new system such as the
programming languages and details regarding software and hardware
compatibility. Then, I compile all the functional requirements such as
standards relating to the transfer of data between a software application
and a network server. These requirements are extremely important in the
development and planning stages of integrating new IT systems. AN
EXAMPLE is when I had to upgrade my supported departments
windows devices from windows 7 to windows 10. This involved
checking inventory and gathering a list of all current university
,purchased windows devices from each department and seeing if what
device models would not support windows 10 and would need to be
replaced, researching what department software is not supported by
windows 10, and testing software on a windows 10 test machine to make
sure it is compatible. Also I collaborated with my team to discuss
picking out standard dell config for desktops and laptops to replace all
machines that do not support windows 10. Once the new machines came
they were imaged with windows 10 and deployment dates were
requested among all supported departments.
⩥ What experience do you have with creating and enforcing software
usage policies? Why are they important? Answer: Because without
certain controls in place enterprise desktops drift toward a state of
disarray, populated with applications that may drain productivity,
threaten security and create license risks. As apart of both my recent
positions at ODU, I have had to enforce software usage policies which
were usually prevented with group policy rights and permissions. Users
that do not have local or network admin accounts do not have
permission to install software. But users that were granted these
accounts were monitored.
⩥ What types of documentation have you created in the past? Why is it
important to maintain documentation? wrote written Answer: Yes, I have
created documentation for my team such as installing/configuring Oracle
12C and installing and configuring new complicated applications such as
SAS 9.4 Users were using Oracle 11g but during the campus wide
windows 10 deployment, I tested it with my windows 10 test machine
and soon realized it wasn't compatible and instead Oracle 12c had to
replace it. I had to go through the steps of installing and configuring
, Oracle 12C on windows 10 with thourough step by step directions and
screenshots and labels.
⩥ What is a DHCP server? Why are DHCP servers useful for
administering computer networks? Answer: DHCP (Dynamic host
configuration protocol) is a protocol that assigns IP addresses to network
devices on a LAN.
This works in a basic network like this. A network device (computer, cell
phone, tablet...) Will request access to the network and request an ip
address so that the router can send packets to the correct place. Think of
it like a home address but in the case of DHCP the address has a "lease"
time and can change or the address will be passed to another device if
the old devices lease expires and is no longer on the network.
⩥ Can you explain the differences between SSH and SSL? Answer:
While both SSH and SSL are encryption and protocol technology for
connecting two or more computers, the main difference between the two
is that the SSH encryption encompasses remote logins and remote
control of a business's servers while SSL is encryption for transmitting
sensitive information like tax or banking information.
⩥ What motivates you in this job? Answer: The moment when you crack
the thing you're working on and it doesn't seem hard and complicated
anymore and you see your work and effort pay off. For me it's the
satisfactory feeling of seeing progress when learning new things.
