The Communications Oriented Production Information and Control System (TFG2000) provides management with a guide for the development of a dynamic, online manufacturing control system that is responsive to the needs of many kinds of businesses. One of the products within TFG2000 is TFG2000 Product Cost Calculations (PCC), a set of programs that can be used to maintain current costs and cost history information to determine trends for use in product cost planning. Online transactions allow the user to query and update this information, and batch programs handle the bulk data requirements of this product.
TFG2000 PCC requires the TFG2000 Base Product, which consists of the TFG2000 data bases, TFG2000 programs that are common to several TFG2000 products, and installation and conversion tools.
The Operations Guide is one of six manuals that support TFG2000 PCC. It is intended for data processing personnel who are involved with the installation, implementation, and maintenance of the TFG2000 products. These people should have experience working with a large computer system and may have formal data processing training. This manual assumes that they are familiar with CICS, DL/I, the operating system of choice, and with some computerized applications.
The Operations Guide describes the following:
Although the Operations Guide is written for data processing personnel in general, the chapters are written for specific audiences.
All TFG2000 PCC users should read Chapter 1. Chapters 2 and 3 are written for those involved in program maintenance and modification. Chapters 4 and 5 are intended for data processing personnel concerned with the analysis, integration, and operations of systems.
The appendixes, with the exception of Appendix B, the Sample Problem, are provided as enhancements to the information in Chapters 1 through 5. The Sample Problem is used to test the proper installation and execution of the TFG2000 product.
The general structure of the manual is as follows:
The Sample Problem is provided for two reasons:
Sample data bases are provided with TFG2000 PCC and the Sample Problem follows a sequence of online transactions and batch programs that should be similar to those used in a production environment. You can step through this sequence, checking the results against those included in the text. All personnel involved with installing and using the product should perform this exercise.
Note: Certain figures and data mentioned in this manual assume that the options selected, by means of the Environment Table and other parameter values, are the default values as distributed with the product. These may be changed if desired and details are provided in Chapter 5 of this manual.
Five other publications are available for TFG2000 PCC:
This manual is a high-level description of the TFG2000 PCC functions and applications.
It includes a brief description of the overall TFG2000 system, details of the specific application area and how TFG2000 PCC addresses the relevant functions, and how TFG2000 PCC can be integrated with other TFG2000 products.
For data processing personnel, details are given about the DP environment required to install and operate the product. Personnel involved in purchasing the TFG2000 products should read this manual.
This manual is intended for the users, such as production management and production schedulers, who are involved with the application area addressed by TFG2000 PCC. It describes the procedures for using the product, conventions for data entry, available output, and the meaning of any product error messages. It does not provide detailed data processing information or describe how to install the product.
The manual is divided into sections that discuss the functional areas of TFG2000 PCC. Within these sections, the operation of each online transaction and batch program is described to explain which transactions and programs can be used in certain situations.
This manual provides details of the general design and contents of all TFG2000 data bases for all currently available TFG2000 application products. It describes the structure of each TFG2000 data base, together with the segments and individual data elements which make up the data base.
Topics included in the book are as follows:
The TFG2000 Data Base Guide is primarily for data processing personnel and the data base administrator. However, it could be considerably useful as a reference document to end-user management or anyone connected with the use of the TFG2000 application products. The intentions of the book are as follows:
This manual provides guidance and reference information for installing the TFG2000 Base Product. It is available in two different versions, depending upon the operating system you are using, MVS or VSE.
This manual provides guidance and reference information for administering the TFG2000 Base Product.
It discusses the following topics:
Chapter 2. Online Application Programs
Chapter 4. TFG2000 Product Cost
Calculations Integration and Tailoring
Chapter 5. Installation and
Operation of TFG2000 Product Cost Calculations
Appendix A. How to Use the Charts
Appendix B. TFG2000 Product Cost
Calculations Sample Problem
Appendix D. Program Cross-Reference
List
Appendix E. Interface to Routings
and Facilities Calculations
