Harris TOTAL Data Base System and Harris Data Base Management System (DMS)

摘要

This paper discusses the Harris TOTAL data base system, the Harris data base management system (DMS) and their effects on a large scale interactive nuclear material accountability system. The accountability system was developed and is running on an H-800. This system consists of over three hundred user functions with over one hundred subroutines. Interactively generated batch (control point) jobs are used to handle the more time consuming functions. Over 190 users on over 60 terminals, produce approximately 5000 transactions and 26,000 data base updates per day. The data base currently has 72 TOTAL files consisting of 34 master files, 2 automatic master files and 36 variable files. DMS provides relief from task, system and catastrophic failures. This relief is provided in the form of logging, recovery, backup and statistics. The implementation, use and advantages of TOTAL and DMS with interactive systems will be shown.
