Information Management Engineering (IME) Laboratory: A Database Development Facility

Abstract

An Information Management Engineering (IME) database development laboratory is described that features a VAX/Macintosh hardware suite and a menudriven user interface. The software system was created for - and is used by - database developers and database administrators who work with the Digital Equipment Corporation Virtual Memory Operating System (VMS) and the Oracle Database Management System. It was designed to accomplish a variety of database- related tasks, including data input from magnetic tape, disk file management, database fill, data entry, data dictionary report generation, data quality analysis and validation, data reference inventory management, and user communications. This system was used to develop and enhance several command and control databases for the following projects: the OSIS Baseline Upgrade(OBU); the Maritime Defense Zone (MDZ); the Operations Support Group Prototype (OSGP); the Fleet Command Center Battle Management Program (FCCBMP) for CINCPACFLT at Pearl Harbor, HI; CINCPACAF Integrated Decision Support System (CIDSS) testing for CINCPACAF at Hicham Air Force Base, HI; the Mobile Systems Tactical Data Facility (MSTDF); and the Operational Support System (OSS).
