I. Progress Report on Tasks Assigned by the DCl/DDCI:
II. Items or Events of Major Interest that have Occurred During
the Preceding Week:
A. CLAS:
1. Bill of Materials: The Bill of Materials package is
now over a month in production, with all the kinks worked out
except one. That one is proving to be quite annoying, and is
not a direct reflection of the package software. It is
"response time", the interval between the execution of a
transaction and the availability of the system to execute the
next transaction. Response time for BOM ranges between 7
seconds and 1 1/2 minutes, with the average an unacceptable 20
seconds. Response time is an IDMS/R database performance issue
which is also adversely affecting the current Budget exercise.
OIT's Engineering Group has responsibility for "system
performance" issues such as this one, and to date have reacted
slowly in responding. On Wednesday morning,
C/Engineering Group/OIT, will host a meeting in to
discuss his group's plans to solve the response time issues.
2. Detailed Specifications: Cullinet shipped detailed
specification documents (for the Agency-specific functions that
will be delivered in February) on last Wednesday. They are
expected to be delivered to the Agency today. These
specifications follow a briefing by Cullinet last month on the
same functionality. Evaluation of these specifications should
25X1 provide use with a sense of complptpnpss (or 17ck of) in the
Cullinet Funds Control product.

III. Significant Events Anticipated During the Coming Week:
Visit by John Cullinane: John Cullinane, Chief Executive
Officer, Cullinet Software, Inc., will visit the Agency on
Friday, 2 December 88 to brief the Information Systems Board
and other Senior Officials. The briefing will be followed by
lunch in the DCI's dining room and the Executive Dining Room.
25X1 OL will be represented by the D/L and C/ADP.
IV. Perspective of Staff Activity:
25X1
25X1
25X1
Outlook: The ADP Staff members have adjusted well to the
reorganization and seem to be focusing on the tasks at hand,
which are many. Requirements continue to flow in from a
variety of outside (of OL) organizations for consultation,
support, analysis, and TDY's on an ad-hoc basis which keeps us
hopping. Some examples are: for consultation on
PC-Lans NPIC for consultation on LADS
inventory upgrade; OTS for evaluation of an accountable
property system called "Annisette"; and
These requests for support from Logs Officers in
externai assignments are a positive reflection of confidence in
our ability to provide a service -- our primary job. The down
side to this explosion of ADP activity is a shortage of
resources, especially as we release two staff members to the
Supply Group in the next 2-6 weeks. We plan to do "more with
less", and to also solicit in-house ADP rotationals from the
newly formed Resource Management Board.
