The Applicability of UADPS-SP to a DBMS Environment.

Abstract

This thesis addresses some of the benefits which may be gained from changing UADPS-SP to a Data Base Management System (DBMS). Some of these benefits include a reduction of training time for newly arrived personnel, an improved monitoring of in-house shipping-receiving functions and status, and a reduction in the delay time for queries and program changes. The thesis further examines some of the possible problems which may be encountered with UADPS-SP when Data Base Management Systems are installed without any prior planning. The lack of planning contributes significantly to costs overruns. The factors which affect costs include training personnel about UADPS-SP and Data Base Management System concepts, and the rewrite of all or part of the current existing files. (Author)
