CDC 2r051 Vol. 2 Maintenance Information Systems

The correct answer is DEMAND mode. This is because the Query Language Processor (QLP) can only be initialized online in DEMAND mode. The other modes mentioned, such as EDIT mode, ECHO mode, and Transaction Interface Package (TIP) mode, do not allow for the initialization of the QLP online.

The correct answer is "requiring the Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) online processing to be down." This means that the batch program being run will require the IMDS online processing to be temporarily unavailable. This information needs to be communicated to the users so that they are aware of the scheduled downtime and can plan their work accordingly.

In G081, when three asterisks (*) are seen in a row, it indicates that the user needs to press "enter" to continue.

The correct answer is "Pointer." In the context of an Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) database, pointer errors cannot be created by Transaction Interface Package (TIP) users. Pointer errors typically occur when a program tries to access a memory location that is invalid or does not exist. Since TIP users do not have direct access to the underlying database structure or memory management, they cannot create pointer errors.

The correct answer is 1 year. In the given scenario, the expiration date of the Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) database save tape is changed as a result of an aircraft mishap. The expiration date determines how long the save tape can be used before it becomes invalid or outdated. Out of the given options, 1 year is the longest duration, indicating that the save tape can be used for a year before it expires.

To obtain a record printout of a random access locator record using the program random access locator (LAF), the input required is the CALC key. This key is used to initiate the calculation process and retrieve the desired record. The other options mentioned, such as the transaction identification code key, database key, and control key, do not directly relate to obtaining a record printout in this context.

In the Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS), a direct type of record has its database key assigned and controlled by the Electronic Systems Group (ELSG) database administrator. This means that the ELSG database administrator is responsible for managing and assigning the unique identifier for the record in the IMDS database.

The majority of the Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) database is comprised of Via set records.

In a one-way circular linkage, the owner record points to the first member record, the first member record points to the next member, and the last member points back to the owner. This creates a circular chain of pointers where each member points to the next member, forming a one-way circular relationship.

The correct answer is @@PRNT. This command is used to activate a side-by printer when printing a Query Language Processor (QLP) output.

The correct answer is a whole number. This means that the area consisting of one schematic page is represented by a complete number without any decimals or fractions. It does not refer to the first digit of the set number, the first digit of the area code, or the Transaction Interface Package (TIP) number.

The program used to verify program NFS760 runs each week is NFSRU0.

The reason for establishing an alternate Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) processing site is to ensure continuous reporting of reliability and maintainability information system reportable job data documentation. This means that even if the primary processing site experiences any interruptions or issues, the alternate site will be able to continue generating and reporting the necessary documentation without any disruptions. This helps to maintain the accuracy and reliability of the IMDS system.

If a software problem is discovered but a system advisory notice (SAN) might be delayed, the 754th Electronic Systems Group (ELSG) sends out a Heads up message (HUM) right away. This allows them to quickly inform the field about the issue and provide any necessary instructions or updates. This ensures that the field is aware of the problem and can take appropriate action while waiting for the SAN to be issued.

The correct answer is DELTA. DELTA refers to the process of adding or subtracting a transaction interface code (TRIC) with its respective options and sub-options out of a loaded profile on an individual. This process allows for the modification of a profile by adding or removing specific transaction interface codes, providing flexibility and customization for the individual's needs.

The Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) central database is composed of both network and relational database systems. This means that the database uses a combination of both network and relational models to store and organize its data. The network model allows for complex relationships between data elements, while the relational model allows for efficient querying and manipulation of data using structured query language (SQL). This combination of database systems provides flexibility and efficiency in managing and accessing data within the IMDS central database.

The enterprise location codes (ELC) Profile Manager By Profile ID program can load up to 25 user-identifications (User ID) to a single Master Profile.

The most distinguishing characteristic of a relational query language, like SQL, is its non-procedural language. This means that users can specify what data they want to retrieve or manipulate, without having to specify how to do it. In other words, users can focus on the end result they want, rather than the specific steps to get there. This makes the language more user-friendly and easier to learn, as users don't need to have a deep understanding of the underlying data structures or algorithms.

The schema of a database describes the physical layout of records and the logical relationships between records. This includes how the data is organized and stored in the database, as well as the relationships between different tables or entities. The schema defines the structure of the database and allows users to understand how the data is organized and how different pieces of data are related to each other.

In a Query Language Processor (QLP) syntax skeleton, the words that are mandatory if they are underlined are "Uppercase". This means that when constructing a query using the QLP, the words must be written in uppercase letters. The other words mentioned, "Proper", "Generic", and "Lowercase", are not mandatory and can be written in any case.

The correct answer is event-oriented because Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) focuses on recording and tracking maintenance events and activities. It is designed to capture and manage data related to maintenance events such as repairs, inspections, and replacements. This system is primarily concerned with the events that occur during the maintenance process rather than the overall information or database structure.

As a database manager, monitoring computer maintenance involves analyzing both unscheduled and scheduled downtime. This means keeping track of any unexpected disruptions or failures in the system, as well as planned maintenance activities. By analyzing downtime, the manager can identify patterns, potential issues, and areas for improvement in the maintenance process. This information can then be used to optimize the system's performance and minimize future downtime, ensuring smooth operations and efficient use of resources.

The correct answer is to include the address and phone number of each user to be notified in the notification checklist. This is important because in order to effectively notify users, their contact information is necessary. Including their address and phone number ensures that the notification can be delivered through multiple channels, increasing the chances of reaching the users in a timely manner.

The MASK clause in the Query Language Processor (QLP) allows you to specify only portions of a data item as the selection criteria. This means that you can select specific parts or fields of a data item rather than the entire item. The MASK clause is useful when you only need to retrieve or manipulate certain parts of the data, rather than the entire data item.

The Defense Data Network (DDN) address record is the correct answer because it is the interface program in the Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS) that is responsible for rescheduling REMIS inventory reconciliations. This program manages the addresses of the DDN, which is a global communications network used by the Department of Defense. By updating the DDN address record, the REMIS system can ensure that inventory reconciliations are rescheduled and conducted efficiently.

To start the G081 User ID Maintenance Facility on the Time Sharing Option (TSO) Primary Option Menu, you would select Option S Security. This option is chosen because user ID maintenance is related to security measures, such as creating, modifying, or deleting user IDs, managing user access privileges, and ensuring the security of the system.

The correct answer is "volatility". In the context of the Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) database, record placement is determined by the volatility of the data. Volatility refers to the frequency and likelihood of changes or updates to the data. Data that is more volatile, meaning it is subject to frequent changes, is typically placed in a different location within the database to ensure efficient access and management. Therefore, the placement of records in the IMDS database depends on the volatility of the data.

The clause in the set section that determines the logical placement of a new member record added to a set is the "Order" clause. This clause specifies the order in which the records should be arranged within the set.

The PRINT command in the Query Language Processor (QLP) is used to list all or specific entities. It allows for the retrieval and display of information from the database without making any changes to the data. This command is commonly used to view the contents of a database table or to retrieve specific records based on certain criteria.

In a Relational Database Management System (RDMS) schema diagram, the tables are typically represented by boxes. This is a common convention used to visually depict the tables in the database. The use of boxes makes it easier to identify and distinguish the tables from other elements in the diagram.

The first step in building an effective data model is planning and requirements analysis. This involves understanding the needs and goals of the project, identifying the data that needs to be captured and stored, and determining how it will be used. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the data model and ensures that it aligns with the business requirements. Once the planning and requirements analysis is complete, the data model can be designed and implemented, including the addition of key and non-key attributes.

The correct answer is "the system is unavailable for a long time." This is because implementing pseudo processing is a technique used when the system is unavailable for an extended period of time. Pseudo processing involves simulating the processing of data and transactions, allowing users to continue working as if the system were online. This ensures that work can still be done even when the system is down for a prolonged period.

The user may submit an Air Force IMT 3215, C4 Systems Requirements Document regarding Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) when they want to add new capabilities to IMDS. This form is used to request changes or enhancements to the system, so if the user wants to expand the functionality of IMDS, they would need to submit this document.

The correct answer is "IMDS is not operating as designed." A difficulty report (DIREP) in Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) is used when there is an issue with the system not functioning as intended. It is a way for users to report problems or malfunctions in IMDS so that they can be addressed and fixed by the appropriate personnel. This option accurately reflects the purpose and usage of a DIREP in IMDS.

The responsibility for initializing Interactive Communication Interface (ICI) via screen #891 lies with the host data base manager (DBM). This means that the DBM is responsible for setting up and initializing the ICI through the specific screen mentioned. The system monitor, unit level DBMs, and functional users do not have this responsibility.

The Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) automates the process of aircrew debriefing. This means that IMDS is responsible for collecting and organizing information related to the performance and experiences of aircrew members after a flight. It helps to streamline the debriefing process and ensure that all necessary information is recorded and stored accurately.

The correct answer is DECLARE. The DECLARE clause in the Query Language Processor (QLP) is used to define the explicit attributes of a derived name. It is used to declare variables and their data types in order to store and manipulate data within the QLP.

The correct answer is 11. This suggests that the enterprise location code (ELC) database has a total of 11 base level areas.

The Defense Data Network (DDN) Address Record is the correct answer because it provides a list of all files that have been received from or transmitted to REMIS within the last 72 hours. This interface program helps track the communication between REMIS and other systems, ensuring that all necessary files are being exchanged properly.

The correct answer is ATATS TSO. This option on the G081 Session Selection menu brings up the G081 Time Sharing Option (TSO) menu.

The correct answer is F9057, Terminal/User Master Record Update. This program needs to be processed in order to grant access to G081.

Option C is used to access a particular printer's command page in the VTAM Printing System VMCF F Printer Selection List.

In G081, if there is an aircraft mishap, the immediate action that must be taken is to secure the aircraft records. This is important to ensure that all relevant information regarding the aircraft is preserved and protected. By securing the aircraft records, any potential evidence or data related to the mishap can be properly documented and analyzed. This will help in investigating the cause of the mishap and taking appropriate actions to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The correct answer is "END-MACRO." This is because the Query Language Processor (QLP) MACRO definition syntax terminates with the "END-MACRO" clause. This clause signifies the end of the macro definition and allows the processor to proceed with executing the defined macro.

Query Language Processor (QLP) Procedures are invoked by the command "CALL". This command is used to call and execute a specific procedure in the QLP. The "CALL" command is commonly used in programming languages to invoke a subroutine or function, and in this case, it is used to invoke the QLP procedure. The other options, "RUN", "BEGIN", and "GENERATE", are not typically used to invoke procedures in QLP.

The FROM clause completes the SELECT statement in SQL. This clause specifies the table or tables from which the data is retrieved. It is used to identify the source of the data that will be queried. The SELECT statement cannot be completed without the FROM clause as it is essential for identifying the table or tables involved in the query.

The Reference table in the Relational Database Management System (RDMS) holds data supplied by the Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS). This table is likely used to store and retrieve reference information that is relevant to the REMIS system, such as codes, standards, or other reference materials that are necessary for the proper functioning of REMIS.

The special operator "Like" in Structured Query Language (SQL) allows the use of wild card characters in condition criteria. This operator is used to search for a specified pattern within a column. It allows the use of '%' to represent any number of characters and '_' to represent a single character. So, when using the "Like" operator, you can search for values that match a specific pattern rather than an exact match.

A profile is a list of Transaction Identifier Codes (TRIC) that allows access to certain Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) programs based on the user's role. This means that the user's access to specific programs within the IMDS is determined by their assigned role. The role could be a specific job title or position within the organization.

In an Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) Data Management System (DMS) schematic, an off-page connector from another area is identified by an arrow pointing from a circled number to a record. This means that the circled number represents the off-page connector, indicating a connection to another area or page. The arrow points towards the record, indicating the direction of the connection.
