Aftermath of Fineract CN GSoC 2018 Projects
Hello GSoC 2018 students,
Please could you provide a succinct summary of your project's status.
Any form of information containing
1. Work done
2. Challenges/Errors faced, and
3. Possible Further work/Improvements, will be helpful for the community to
know how to help make progress.
At Your Service,
Isaac Kamga.

Hello Isaac,
I worked on the project, New Web UI for Microfinance. This project entailed
implementing a front-end UI for Fineract CN that is similar to the UI that
was found in the current Gen 2 Mifos X web app as well as the original Gen
1 web app with support for microfinance institutions with group and center
based operations.
The UI to setup a center on Fineract-CN has been done with the various
fields and design gotten from the current Mifos X.
The problem I faced was that the back-end for Center was not available.
I used a Json Server to test the workflow of setting up a center on
Fineract-CN but this could not help me in simulating transactions carried
out by centers.
This project needs that the endpoints for center based transactions
(back-end) be made available so that it could be used to carry out center
based transactions on the web UI (front-end).
Thanks,
Pembe Miriam

Hello Isaac,
I worked on the Group Loan management System under Fineract CN.
I produced the Web UI on fims web app to consumed all the available
endpoints and
I also implemented and consumed the endpoints which were not there.
I faced some issues so I created 2 issues (FINCN-100
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINCN-100> and FINCN-101
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINCN-101>) on the jira page
regarding the project and I resolved them.
I send 2 PRs for the issues,but they were not merged due to an error in the
teller service when I ran the unit test.
I sent an email to the mailing list regarding the error. Mark replied but
that did not help.
I got stuck there and I later created another issue (FINCN-102
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINCN-102>).
Here, is the chat on the mailing-list regarding these issues
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/5f87e12811c15a94c6d37577c1bafeed6f0e1f973e70912cb09897c8@%3Cdev.fineract.apache.org%3E
Further work for the project requires implementing Group saving and Group
loan functionalities on the back-end
and other functionalities like transferring members between groups and
adding members to an existing group.
Also producing a UI for those functionalities on the existing fims-web-app
Regards
Ruphine Kengne

Hello Isaac,
The UI's for setting up a center has been created, but the endpoints that
are consumed are not real (not from Fineract-CN back-end) . They are
endpoints that were generated on a locally installed Json-server.
The following will be needed for the project to be complete:
1. Endpoints for setting up a center should be made available.
2. Endpoints for carrying out center based operations like those found on
the current Mifos X should be made available.
3. The URL should be updated on the front-end (fineract-cn-group-finance)
Thanks,
Pembe Miriam

Ruphine, there is need to upgrade to latest stable Angular to solve the

he saw enough progress.

Hello Isaac,
Yes, I am still facing that error.
I have already solved the issues FINCN-100 and FINCN-101.
FINCN-102 is left and is that which causes the error thus preventing the
others from being merged.

Re: Aftermath of Fineract CN GSoC 2018 Projects

Thanks for the response Isaac,
The current SMS implementation is a one-way communication from the MFI to
the customer/Staff only.
Eg: A new customer account has been created. And so the customer is
notified of this event or a loan gets approved hence, the customer is
informed.
However, the customer cannot initiate communication with the MFI's system.
So the USSD service I'm referring to is more customer self-service
oriented. This will establish two-way communication giving the customer a
real-time interactive session with the MFI's system. Hence, allowing the
customer to get self-service via a USSD code.
In this case, a customer can make a request through the MFI's USSD code and
get a list of options:
Eg: Account Balance, Common information, Loan Products available, Branch
Locations, Transaction statements, Loan status etc. We can then improve it
over time to include more advanced processes.
The ultimate benefit here is the fact that everybody can access the MFI's
financial services without a smartphone.

Thanks for your responses Grace, Pembe, Graham
@Grace, do you still experience error https://pastebin.com/9ftKYDg8 from
the teller service ? Have you been able to find some time to look at issues
FINCN-100 to FINCN-102 ? +Mark van Veen <ma...@kuelap.io> Can you
kindly lend a hand here ?
@Miriam, can you develop a road map for micro-finances with center-based
operations ?
@Graham, Thanks for sharing the roadmap around the notifications service.I
thought item 5 : USSD services for notifcations service was already done.
Kindly expand more on that ?
Cheers,
Isaac Kamga.

Re: Aftermath of Fineract CN GSoC 2018 Projects

Hello Isaac,
I hope this email finds you well.
*Work done*
I produced the initial code for the notification service. I implemented the
email and SMS services for the service. I implemented the event listeners
for customer service. I have written rest-docs for the service's APIs. I am
currently developing the front-end in the fims-web-app
*Challenges/Errors faced*
The service is unable to authenticate using the permitted feign client.
It returns a 404 error when I use the permitted feign client. However,
changing the authentication to use the permitted feign client for
authentication is the recommended approach.
*Improvements*
1. Containerize the notification service in fineract-cn-containers
<https://github.com/openMF/fineract-cn-containers>.
2. Implement email and sms listeners for the portfolio and group services.
3. Complete the implementation of the front-end in the fims-web-app and the
new Web app implemented by Pembe to allow re-configuration of the email and
SMS services.
4. Change the authentication to use permitted feign client for
authentication.
5. Add USSD services to the notification service
You can find more improvement considerations here:
