PROCEDURE FOR ADDING NEW
USERS OF CDS-ODP INTERFACE
1. The Cable Dissemination System (CDS) has
established a communication link with ODP computers.
The link acts as a remote job entry (RJE) station
which submits job runs containing cables and JCL to
ODP computers. ODP has prepared software to dis-
tribute the cables forwarded by CDS. This software
is known as the CDS-ODP Interface.
2. When the Cable Dissemination System (CDS)
becomes operational there will be a capability to
provide digitized cable distribution from OC to any
Agency component requiring this service. The
procedure for providing cable distribution facilities
to additional ODP customers is:
(1) Potential customers will first
coordinate with the Cable
Secretariat to determine whether
the CDS can process the digital
traffic requested by the customer.
(2). In the event the CDS can process
the traffic, the Cable Secretariat
will request that the customer
prepare a computer applications,
request/action Form 930. (See
Attachment B). This form will
be forwarded to the Office of Data
Processing through the Cable
Secretariat. The Cable
Secretariat will append the User
Program Identification (UPID) code
and the date when the new customers
data will begin to arrive for processing
in ODP.
(3) After the Form 930 is received in ODP,
the CDS-ODP project leader will
coordinate with the customer in the
development of computer processing
requirements to ensure that the-
traffic is handled by ODP in asatisfactory manner.

Manager to determine whether CDS
can process the digital traffic
requested by the customer.
(2) In the event CDS can process the
traffic, the CDS Project Manager
will forward a speed letter to ODP
informing the ODP CDS-ODP Project
Manager of the new customer, the
User Program Identification (UPID)
code assigned to the customer,
and a date when the new customer's
data will begin to arrive for
processing in ODP. (See Attachment
B) .
(3) The OC CDS Project Manager will
request the customer to formally
coordinate with ODP. The customer
will prepare a Computer Applications
Request/Action Form 930. (See
Attachment C). The CDS-ODP Project
Leader will coordinate with the
customer to develop computer
processing requirements so that
the traffic is handled by ODP in a
satisfactory manner.

CDS Interface Coordination Group
1. The CDS Interface Coordination Group, established by
the referent memorandum, has prepared the attached CDS-OJCS
Interface Specification for your approval. This specification
describes the manner in which the Office of Communications'
lCable Dissemination System will link the Agency's telecommuni-
cations network with information processing systems such as
Project SAFE.
2. The present schedule anticipates activation of the
Cable Dissemination System in June 1976, at which time the
CDS-OJCS link will become operational. In the meantime, OJCS
should develop a monitor program for its system to permit
testing and support of the interface beginning in early 1976.
3. Your response to this memorandum is requested by
27 June 1975. Should additional ' 1 uired,
