1. OVERVIEW OF ODP SERVICES
ODP's mission is to provide a central computer service to the Agency and the
Intelligence Community. ODP consists of two major units, Processing and
Applications. Processing/ODP maintains ODP's hardware and production software;
Applications/ODP provides applications programming services for Agency
components (reference Appendix A, "ODP: Mission, Organization, and Functions").
As its primary* function, ODP' supplies interactive and batch computing services
to you, the Agency user. These two services allow you to develop and execute
your own programs in a variety of languages, use existing library programs, 'and
store and retrieve information in a data base.
The computer systems for each service are large-scale IBM-compatible mainframes,
located at the Ruffing Computer Center, GC03 Headquarters. Associated data
processing equipment includes communications links, storage devices, terminals,
high- and low-speed printers, plotters, and word processors.
A communications network connects all the ODP equipment. This network also
links the interactive system to the Printing and Photography Division (P&PD), to
give you reproduction-quality output through the Electronic Text-Editing' and
Composition System (ETECS) and computer output microfilm through the DICOMED COM
system, and links the batch system to a DATACOM Cable-Dissemination System
(DATACOM/CDS), to provide access to a message-processing system for cable
traffic called Message Processing System/Bulk Data Service (MPS/BDS) (reference
Section 2, "Hardware").
ODP also maintains other computers used for special purposes. Because those
specialized services are not available to the general user, they are not
discussed in this document.
1.2 INTERACTIVE SYSTEM
The interactive Virtual Machine (VM) System allows you to enter commands at a
remote terminal and establish your own virtual machine environment. The virtual
machine gives you a personalized machine for processing work or communicating
with other virtual or real machines connected to the Ruffing Computer Center VM
network--for example,' the batch system, ETECS, CDS. (Reference Table 1,
"Summary of Interactive Service," page 4.)
The interactive system control software has two main components: the Control
Program (CP), which controls the resources of the real computer and related,
equipment and manages the communications functions, and the Conversational
Monitor System (CMS), which allows you to work within your virtual machine, for
example, to create and modify data files. Tape management is provided by Tape
Management Software (TMS) and TAPEMON.

 Approved For Release 2009/05/28: CIA-RDP90-00992R000100030015-2
A program called BATCHMON (Batch Monitor), developed in-house, links the
interactive and batch services so that you can submit batch jobs from the
interactive system. Most batch jobs are now submitted interactively. BATCHMON
gives you control over jobs submitted for batch processing and simplifies
preparation of complex jobs.
A CMS text editor, XEDIT, enables you to edit existing files or create new
ones. You can write programs in PL/I (the Agency standard), or in ALC (Assembly
Language Code), APL, BASIC, C Language (a low-level language useful in managing
and organizing textual information), COBOL, FORTRAN, and PASCAL. You can also
access library programs for text formatting and for mathematical and
statistical, modeling, graphics, and data base management applications
(reference Section 3, "Software").
Another service on the interactive system is Automatic Information Management
(AIM). AIM is an electronic mailing service developed by ODP that permits you
to create, edit, send, receive, and file documents and to obtain hard-copy
output.
1.3 BATCH SYSTEM
The batch service accumulates batch jobs and processes them in order, according
to a predetermined priority scheme. The current batch service is run using
IBM's Multiple Virtual Storage/Job Entry Subsystem 3 (1MVS/JES3) operating system
complex. (Reference Table 2, "Summary of Batch Service," page 5.)
Like the interactive system, the batch system includes language processors--for
ALC, COBOL, FORTRAN, and PL/I--and it offers you a library of program products
in mathematical and statistical, modeling, and graphics applications (reference
Section 3, "Software").
The MVS/JES3 Batch System also supports an online application, the Generalized.
Information Management System (GIMS), that gives you access to data from a
remote terminal by using a highly structured software interface language. A
product of TRW, GIMS is designed for Agency clients 'who have large, complex
information-handling requirements (for example, inventory control, personnel
data, control of' medical records). Each GIMS application is password-protected
against access by unauthorized users.
1.4 COMPUTER SECURITY
As in all timesharing installations, computer security is a major ODP concern.
When using ODP facilities, you must, of course, follow normal Agency security
practices for dealing with classified material. Further, the vast amount of
information stored on Agency computer systems necessitates additional security
measures:
? The OOP computer centers restrict physical access to the computers and
related equipment by means of a badge. reader. Individuals without the
proper authorization must be -escorted by an authorized person who has
obtained prior permission for the visit.
Approved For Release 2009/05/28: CIA-RDP90-00992R000100030015-2
 Approved For Release 2009/05/28: CIA-RDP90-00992R000100030015-2
? The interactive system requires that you enter a user identification
(userid), password, and project and resources information systems
(PRISM) number to use the system.
? On the batch system, the Access Control Facility (ACF2) software has
been installed to enhance security. ACF2 offers the originator of a
dataset various options to control access to data stored on disks and
tapes in the center.
? The GIMS (online) system requires that you enter a userid and password.
? All ODP computer centers require that you provide a classification for
all your printed computer output. A facility called CLASSIFY, available
on both the batch and interactive systems, prints a user-specified
classification at the top and bottom of each page of all or selected
datasets. The system will not print computer output that has not been
given a classification.
? Users of ODP systems are responsible for ensuring that their magnetic
media data are properly protected from destruction by following the
established procedures described in Records Disposition STAT
Handbook, Appendix E.
1.5 USER ASSISTANCE
To gain access to any of the ODP computing *services, you will normally want to
contact first your component's ADP Control Officer, the individual who has been
assigned responsibility for the ADP activities of your component.. The ADP
Control Officer. will give you access to the batch and interactive systems and
obtain the userid, passwords, and disk space you need.
To assist you further, Processing/ODP:
? Provides administrative, consulting, library, and documentation services
through the Customer Services Staff (CSS).
? Includes a HELP facility on the interactive system that explains use of
commands at the terminal.
? Maintains a Trouble Desk 24 hours-a-day.
In addition, Applications/ODP:
? Develops, implements, and maintains applications software for client
offices within the Agency.
? Offers training--both formal and self-study courses--in conjunction with
the Office of Training and Education (OTE).
For additional information on user assistance, reference Section 4, "Support
Services."'

2. HARDWARE
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Hardware is best described as the physical equipment associated with automatic
data processing. The hardware presentation given here can only touch on the
equipment used in ODP facilities. The aim is to give you a sense of the type of
equipment available in ODP's complex system (reference Figure 1, "Hardware
Overview," page 12, and Table 3, "Input/Output (I/O) Devices," page 13).
2.2 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNITS (CPUs)
A number of CPUs are used for the various ODP services. As use of facilities
increases yearly, ODP acquires new, more advanced hardware to keep the systems
running smoothly and to support newer, more sophisticated user software.
2.3 COMMUNICATIONS LINKS
The communications controllers between the computer systems and your terminal
are NCR COMTENs. The COMTENss are small computers; with their associated
software, they handle many of the communications functions (such as code
translation, polling, addressing, application switching, some protocol
enveloping) for the larger host computer, thereby freeing the host computer to
process programs and perform more complex functions. Although the COMTENs can
serve as stand-alone computers, ODP uses them primarily as a front-end processor
(FEP).
In this configuration, a COMTEN at the computer center links the host computers
for the interactive and batch services to terminals and other. equipment outside
the computer center. One COMTEN is also used as a remote concentrator processor
(RCP): a COMTEN at the building links the I/O devices there, via
communications lines, to the P and host computer at the Ruffing Computer
Center. This RCP is an exception, however. Most communications links to
'outbuildings are via statistical multiplexers, which are maintained by the
Office of Communications.
2.4 STORAGE DEVICES
ODP's current storage devices are magnetic tapes, drums, and disks. Magnetic
tapes, called sequential storage media because data must he searched in
sequence, are generally used for datasets that are infrequently used or those to
he kept for an extended period. Magnetic drums and disks, called direct access
storage media because they need not be searched sequentially to locate data, are
used for all other purposes.

 Approved For Release 2009/05/28: CIA-RDP90-00992R000100030015-2
OOP maintains a tape library housing over 30,000 tapes. Primary tape densities
used are 1600 and 6250 bits-per-inch (bpi); a gradual upgrade to 6250-bpi
densities is in progress.
ODP processes essentially three types.of tapes:
? ODP Headquarters tapes are tapes on file in the tape libraries of the
ODP center and may not be released outside the Agency. These tapes are
controlled and managed by Tape Management Software (TMS). Some inactive
or backup Headquarters tapes are stored at the Agency Archives and
Records Center; these offsite storage tapes require 24 hours for
retrieval.
? Y-tapes are new tapes supplied by ODP and issued to users for output
processing; these tapes may be released outside the Agency. Y-tapes are
also under TMS control.
? Z-tapes are user-owned and submitted to the ODP centers for input
processing (READ ONLY). Z-tapes, which are stored in the Ruffing
Computer Center for up to 10 days, are not under TMS control.
Like the mainframes, ODP's online storage devices change rapidly to meet an
ever-increasing demand. Current direct access storage facilities consist of
magnetic drums, usually for system use, and magnetic disk units, normally used
for short-term datasets.
2.5 UNIT RECORD EQUIPMENT
Although ODP discourages the use of cards, a card reader and card punch are
available at the Ruffing Computer Center. These units are switchable between the
interactive and batch systems. ODP equipment also includes the IBM 029
.keypunch, a stand-alone device for punching cards. Requests for use of an IBM
029 keypunch must be made through the ADP Control Officer.
You can access ODP computers and obtain display and low-speed printed output
through office data preparation equipment, general-purpose terminals, graphics
display terminals, and terminal-associated plotters.
2.6.1 OFFICE DATA PREPARATION EQUIPMENT
Wang word processors and associated printers have become the standard Agency
equipment. A service is available to convert disks and cassettes from other
word processing equipment to Wang format. Wang/VM interface software is
currently being developed. In addition, NBI 3000 series word processors, which

also may have printers attached, are now available in many offices. The NBI can
be linked to the VM System. IBM Communicating MAG Card Selectric Typewriters
are less frequently encountered.
2.6.2 GENERAL-PURPOSE TERMINALS
Your most visible piece of hardware is a terminal that links you to the central
computing system. ODP supports a variety of general-purpose terminals,
including the following:
? The Delta Data 5260 and the newer Delta Data 7260T are the video-type,
cathode-ray tube (CRT) machines seen most frequently.
? The Dataroyal IPS 5000 C attached to a Delta Data terminal gives you
medium-quality., hard-copy output.
? The Design 100 is a typewriter-type terminal that also may be used as a
pri nter.
? The Texas Instruments Silent 700 Electronic Data Terminal is a self-
contained electronic page printer; it can be used in conjunction with
Delta Data terminals to get low-quality, hard-copy output.
2.6.3 GRAPHICS DISPLAY TERMINALS
Graphics display terminals enable you to design charts, graphs, and pictures.
They provide capabilities for high-resolution displays and use of color.
Graphics display terminals currently available are as follows:
? The Tektronix 4014 and 4015 terminals display both alphanumeric
characters and graphic data. A Tektronix 4015 connected to the
interactive system is located in 4F50 Headquarters and is available for
general use. A Tektronix 4610 hard-copy unit that generates facsimile.
copies of the display on the screen of the Tektronix 4015 is colocated
with the terminal in 4F50.
? Other terminals available include the Advanced Electronic Design (AED)
512, the Chromatics 7900, and the Ramtek 6200A, 6211, and 6412.
2.6.4 TERMINAL-ASSOCIATED PLOTTERS
You can obtain immediate graphics and plotting output from your terminal through
an associated Hewlett-Packard 7721B plotter. This device, available at various
Agency locations, is a desk-top, microprocessor-controlled plotter that produces
multicolor graphic plots through the interactive system.
2.7 HARD-COPY OUTPUT FACILITIES
In addition to the low-speed printers and plotters associated with various
terminals, ODP's hard-copy output facilities in the Buffing Computer Center
include high-speed printers and plotters and specialized output services.

2.7.1 HIGH-SPEED PRINTERS AND PLOTTERS
2.7.1.1 Interactive System
On the interactive system, ODP uses the following equipment:
? The IBM 1403 produces the copy that most people associate with computer
hard copy--the continuous-form, fan-fold perforated output.
? The IBM 6670 laser printer (commonly called System 6) produces hard copy
on standard 8 1/2 - x 11-inch paper. This printer provides high-quality,
camera-ready copy.
? The Hetra Mark VII line printer provides hard-copy output at a rate of
600 lines per minute. Hetra printers are located at Ames, Chamber of
Commerce, buildings.
You can direct your printed output to any one. of these devices or to specific
locations. Valid locations include the Ruffing Computer Center or Data Access
Centers such as those at 4F50 Headquarters and at Ames, Chamber of Commerce,
buildings.
Printed output at remote locations generally is produced by Hetra or IBM 6670-
-type printers. On the interactive system, Hetra printers use the reverse, plain
white side of continuous-form paper; they can print in either uppercase.-
lowercase or all-uppercase characters.
2.7.1.2 Batch System
On the batch system, alternatively, printing facilities are as follows:
? The Xerox 9700 provides high-quality, hard-copy output on standard,
8 1/2 - x 11-inch paper. This printer may also be accessed from the
interactive system through the use of BATCHMON.
? The IBM 1403 and IBM 3211 devices provide the standard computer output
on continuous-form paper.
? The Versatec 1200-A and Versatec V-80 electrostatic printer/plotters
provide a direct means for plotting alphanumeric and graphic data on
paper in a variety of combinations. Both these plotters are available
at the Ruffing Computer Center.
? The Hetra Mark VII line printer is used on the batch system, as on the
interactive system, to print output at remote Data Access Centers. On
the batch system, the Hetra printer provides output on the front (lined
side) of continuous-form paper in either uppercase-lowercase or all
uppercase characters.
Through JES3 FORMAT statements, you can direct your printed output from the
batch system W specified printers, remote locations, and individuals. Valid
remote locations include the Ames, Chamber of Commerce,

the system directs output to an IBM 1403 or IBM 3211 printer at the Ruffing
buildings. If no destination is specified,
2.7.2 SPECIALIZED OUTPUT SERVICES
Two specialized services available to you are the responsibility of P&PD rather
than ODP; however, ODP telecommunications lines from the interactive system are
used:
? ETECS offers high-quality printing of textual material originating from
electronic media (for example, SCRIPT and NBI).
? The DICOMED COM system reformats computer magnetic tapes to produce
16 mm, 35 mm, or 105 mm microforms. At present, this service is
performed offline, but a communications link to the interactive* system
is planned.

3.2 INTERACTIVE SYSTEM
The interactive system's control software consists of CP, CMS, TMS, TAPEMON,
BATCHMON, and XEDIT.
Description
CP Control Program. CP, from IBM, is a supervisor
program that controls how concurrent users share the
system's computing resources. CP gives each user a
simulated computer, called a virtual machine, with a
user-specified hardware configuration. The virtual
machine has two main characteristics: (1) The device
.address on the virtual machine need not correspond to
the actual address of the hardware, and (2) CP keeps
card reader, punch, and printer data in temporary
files called spool files and controls transmission of
the data to and from the actual hardware devices.
CMS Conversational Monitor System. CMSf from IBM, is
used with CP to provide a general-purpose,
interactive programming system. It 'is the operating
system of your .virtual machine and provides
capabilities for file creation, maintenance, and
manipulation; use of programming languages; program
and command execution control; debugging; and use of
utilities.
TMS Tape Management Software. From University Computing
Company, TMS automates and controls magnetic tape
records by maintaining a tape management catalog
(which functions like a library catalog) and
generating reports for computer center personnel.

4: SUPPORT SERVICES
4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Your ADP Control Officer, CSS, Applications/ODP, and various additional support
services are available to assist you in using the ODP computer facilities
(reference. Table 4, "Directory of ODP Support Services," page 30). Each of
these support activities is described in detail in the following paragraphs.
4.2 ADP CONTROL OFFICERS
Each Directorate and Office has an ADP Control Officer who serves as the primary
point of contact for ADP-related activities. If the level of ADP activity
requires it, additional individuals are designated to coordinate their efforts
with the ADP Control Officer. Among the duties of these officers are managing
magnetic disk storage space, allocating terminals, and controlling computer
access (that is, userids, passwords, and PRISM numbers). The officers obtain
disk space for users; submit annual disk requirements for their units in order
to give ODP information needed to plan for acquiring magnetic disk storage; and,
for planning purposes, keep a detailed record of disk space used by their
components.
4.2.1--DISK SPACE
Disk space is a valuable and scarce resource that is controlled and closely
monitored. Disk space is allocated on magnetic disks in units of tracks,
cylinders, or packs. ODP provides five types of disk space: minidisks, SHARE,
STOR, GIMS, and private packs.
? Minidisks are disk space on the interactive system assigned to users for
their own private files. Minidisks are allocated in units of
cylinders. For backup purposes, ODP copies data on minidisks to tape
daily for any files changed (tapes are saved for 7 days), and weekly for
all disks (tapes are saved for 5 weeks).
? SHARE (Online Direct Access Storage Device System) space is normally
accessible through the batch system, but in some special cases may be
made accessible to the interactive system.
? STOR space is temporary space requested in allocations of 20 or fewer
cylinders at a time; STOR space is allocated for 7 days, after which it
is scratched.
? GIMS space is password-protected, permanent online space assigned to a
data base managed by GIMS.
? Private disk packs, both movable and permanent, may be assigned to an
Agency component. Requests for large space allocations should be
requestec. well in advance, preferably in estimates for the fiscal year
prior to the year of anticipated need.

 Approved For Release 2009/05/28: CIA-RDP90-00992R000100030015-2
A request for disk space must be made in writing by the ADP Control Officer.
Requests?for minidisks, private disk packs, and space on SHARE and STOR are sent
to CSS, Processing, Office of Data Processing (CSS/P/ODP); requests for GIMS
space are sent to Data Base Management Branch, Production Division, Processing,
Office of Data Processing (DBMB/PD/P/ODP).
The userid is a unique name that identifies you to one of the systems supported
by ODP and validates your access to protected resources. A userid is usually
constructed from elements of the user's name and consists of from one to eight
alphabetic characters. OOP provides three types of userids: VM, ACF2, and
GIMS.
? VM - A user identified to VM is automatically given access to the batch
system and identified to the ACF2 security system.
? ACF2 - Userids for the ACF2 security system are assigned only if that
user does not have a VM or GIMS userid.
? GIMS - GIMS userids are assigned only if the user does not have a VM or
ACF2 userid.
A request for a userid must be made by the appropriate ADP Control Officer,
using Form 4065, "ODP Systems Access Request." Requests for VM and ACF2 userids
are sent to CSS/P/ODP; for GIMS userids, requests are sent to DBMB/PD/P/ODP.
Passwords are words of eight alphabetic characters and. are classified SECRET.
Like userids, passwords are used to prevent unauthorized access to ODP
resources. OOP provides four types of passwords: VM, minidisk, ACF2, and GIMS.
? VM - This password is used to validate access to the VM Interactive
System and is changed semiannually. This password should never be
shared with another user.
? Minidisk - To prevent unauthorized access, permanent passwords are
assigned to minidisks when minidisk space is allocated, but this
password can be changed on request.
? ACF2 - ACF2 passwords are encrypted and are used to validate access to
ODP batch systems; these passwords are permanently assigned, but may be
changed on request.
? GIMS - This password is used to validate access to GIMS and is changed
semiannually. This password should never be shared with another user.
-ADP Control Officers acquire passwords for new users of ODP systems and
distribute passwords to users within their units. Passwords are acquired by

completing Form 4065, "ODP Systems Access Request." Requests for VM, minidisk,
and ACF2 passwords are sent to CSS/P/ODP; for GIMS passwords, requests are sent
to DBMB/PD/P/ODP.
To access any ODP resource, you must submit a valid PRISM number. These numbers
consist of five mandatory and two optional alphanumeric characters that identify
a particular unit's projects. PRISM numbers are assigned by the ODP Management
Staff and controlled within each unit by the ADP Control Officer.
4.3 CUSTOMER SERVICES STAFF (CSS)
For both the ADP Control Officers and for users of ODP services imary
point of contact within ODP is CSS (GA0507 Headquarters, extension One STAT
CSS group handles various administrative procedures essential to the maintenance
of ODP systems, including issuing identifications to Agency employees who want
to use the systems. This is the group with which the ADP Control Officer
coordinates to obtain userids, passwords, PRISM numbers, and disk space for
you. This group also is responsible for giving you access to the AIM system,
upon request.
Another CSS element provides consultation on computer languages, hardware, or
other user problems, through the expertise of its own members or information
gathered from other ODP components or vendors. You can call CSS consultants
directly for technical assistance in using an ODP facility (GA0507 Headquarters,
Through the ODP Technical Library, CSS offers you books, manuals, and other
publications bearing on hardware, software, or data processing management used

Lastly, the Publications Group of CSS publishes two bulletins: Tech Notes,
which gives users technical information on programming or procedural matters,
and Bits 'n Bytes, which includes informal, less technical coverage of ADP-
related in o- ma ion. These bulletins are distributed to all users as new ADP
developments occur. The Publications Group also edits documents for in-house
developed software. ODP personnel can submit documents to the Publications
Group for assistance with writing, editing, word processing, or printing
services coordination as the need arises.

APPENDIX A. ODP: MISSION, ORGANIZATION, AND FUNCTIONS
ODP provides a central computer service to Agency components and to the
Intelligence Community. This mission is accomplished through two major units,
Processing and Applications, and a Special Projects Staff (reference Figure A-1,
"OOP Organization," page 33).
The Processing unit maintains ODP's hardware and associated systems as well as
production software. Processing consists of four Divisions--Production, Systems
Programming, Engineering, and Operations--and the Customer Services Staff (CSS).
? Production supports such Agency applications as payroll, general
accounting, personnel, and message processing; it provides ODP services
ranging from data entry to preparation of finished reports; and it
staffs the Data Base Control Center on a 24-hour, 7 days-a-week basis to
maintain the GIMS online system.
? Systems Programming designs, installs, and maintains operating systems,
data base management systems, and systems-related software on ODP
computers. Systems Programming also plans for the installation of
advanced technology. It currently supports the interactive and batch
systems and the GIMS online system.
? Engineering is responsible for the reliability and stability of.ODP
equipment. This Division acquires, installs, and maintains ODP computer
and terminal hardware; monitors Processing's budget and prepares
budgetary documentation for current and future fiscal years; studies and
reports on computer performance and coordinates planning to meet future
requirements; manages ODP's remote data terminal network; and manages
Agency word processing activities.
? Operations maintains three major computer centers in the Headquarters
building and offers automatic data processing (ADP) services at
buildings outside Headquarters. General users of ODP facilities
normally deal with the Ruffing Computer Center (RCC), GC03 Headquarters;
the Special Computer Center (SCC), GC47 Headquarters, exclusively
supports the Directorate of Operations. The third computer center is
used by the Special Projects Staff.
? Customer Services gives you, the users of ODP services, a point of
con act wi t inn DP. This Staff helps clients throughout the Agency use
ODP facilities more effectively by: providing consulting services;
handling administrative functions such as userids, system passwords, and
storage allocation; and publishing technical and nontechnical
documents. It also includes a Technical Library, which distributes
technical publications.
OOP's other major unit, Applications, develops, implements, and- maintains
applications software on ODP central and stand-alone computers to support
missions of various Agency components. It consists of four Divisions: CAMS,
Systems Development, Systems Support, and Quality Assurance.

? CAMS, the smallest Division in terms of assigned staff personnel, is
responsible for the design, development, support, and enhancement of the
Intelligence Community's COMIREX Automated Management System (CAMS).
Most of CAMS' supporting software is developed by contractor firms;
staff personnel primarily perform contract monitoring and administration
functions.
? Systems Development produces both new and replacement computer applica-
tions to -support Agency needs. Typical applications are the Automated
Compensation and Information System (ACIS), the Logistics Integrated
Management System (LIMS), and the Personnel Resources Information
Management (PRIM) System. In addition, this Division provides services
that include: customer consulting, information processing services, and
an Applications' reference library.
? Systems Support maintains application systems (which may be developed by
Systems up Division or assigned to it) and provides enhancements to
existing systems for client offices within the Agency.
? Quality Assurance develops standards, procedures, and guidelines for use
throughout Applications and ensures that the standards developed are met
during the system's life cycle. This Division also provides and
maintains a centralized Applications documOntation and software library,
supports configuration control boards, and tracks and reports on work
being done throughout Applications. In addition, the Quality Assurance
Division has a Training Staff, which is responsible for training data
processing professionals (the Office of Training and Education, OTE, is
responsible for training data processing users).
Finally, ODP'.s Special Projects Staff is responsible for a joint Agency/Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) project called SAFE (Support for the Analysts' File
Environment). This project is designed to satisfy the,needs of intelligence
production analysts and users in the Agency and DIA.
