1.1 Introduction
This procedure manual sets forth guidelines and information necessary for
operations personnel in the handling of IMS processing. IEPD personnel
require IMS data for accurate measurement of ICS imagery. There will be a
printer listing generated of each IMS data message received. There may or may
not be an IMS data message (R714) sent for every imaging pass, but no more
than one R714 will be generated for each pass. The listing will be printed in
the computer room, collated as received, and available for pickup each day by
IEPD.
Definitions of terms used within this procedure are as follows:
a. DTX11 - Runstream initiated by the Communication Symbiont
Processor (C/SP) upon receipt of an IMS message from the external
communications line DLT001.
b. I(IS)(PS) - For any given R714 received by NDS, a runstream is
started by the ESDRIVER software for a particular imaging
satellite (IS) and pass (PS). (EXAMPLE 10104)
d. T - Suffix on REC or REF ID numbers when a test is being run.
Operations Control Officers, computer operators, and shift supervisors
are responsible for complying with this procedure manual. The OCO is the
final authority on IMS processing action on the NDS.
Specific Responsibilities:
a. ESG/IEPD:
1) IEPD is responsible for logging which messages are received
of those expected.
2) IEPD is responsible for retaining IMS printouts.
3) IEPD is responsible for detecting data content errors and
notifying the originator that these errors have occurred.
If the OCO is informed by MD or other cognizant personnel at
that IMS data message will not be received, the OCO will
notify IEPD.

1.3 Processing
a. Software Summary
The IMS data message (R714), via the C/SP,
initiates the DTX11 runstream. The DTX11
runstream starts up ESDRIVER which reads,
validates, and logs the message and starts
up the I(IS)(PS) runstream. The I(IS)(PS)
runstream initiates IMSLST which produces
the output listing. The listing from the
program is to be collated as received and
saved for pickup by IEPD each day.
b. Media Used - Automatic start up via I(IS)(PS) runstream.
c. Equipment Requirements - Univac 1100
- No special files will be created, with the
exception of the normal print file
XMS*IMS-PRINT, which is automatically
maintained. Default size of print file is
128 tracks.
d. Normal Run Instructions - IMSLST will normally be started up by the
I(IS)(PS) runstream. ESDRIVER will
provide the correct XCH*DINNNN file name.
e. Error & Recovery Routines - IMSLST can be restarted by starting up the
XMS*C-RUNIMSISPS runstream as long as the
appropriate XCH*DINNNN message is still
available. (See section 3.4)
f. Expected Output - A printer listing 'I(IS)(PS)' will be
generated every time a R714 message is
received. This listing is a formatted
translation of the R714 data message.
This listing should be saved for pickup by
IEPD personnel.
g. Special Test Conditions - If the NDS receives a test message, a
DTX11 runstream is initiated. This
runstream catalogues a file for the
message, XCH*D1SSN#., and starts
ESDRIVER. ESDRIVER will send a display to
the console including the message number,
the character following the message number
which specifies a test, and a brief note
requesting that the OCO be informed of the
receipt.

- The OCO shall inform ED/SPB that a test
message has been received. ED/SPB will
advise either to save to tape, list or
delete the message. The "DLB/DLC DELETE"
runstream should not be started until the
OCO has been contacted.

If an IMSLST listing is not received by IEPD when one is normally
expected, the OCO will be notified. After notification the OCO can then
execute the following recovery procedure.
1. Sign on to the NDS in Demand. Edit the output file for that Pass.
@ED,R XMS*X-IMSXXXISPS. where IS = '01'
PS = Pass Number (01-16)
List the first 10-12 lines. If the IS, Pass, and Date match,
direct the output file to the printer.
@SYM,U XMS*-IMSXXXISPS.,,PR
Save the output listing, IISPS, for IEPD.
2. If the output file does not exist for that particular IS, Pass, and Date
check to see if the R714 input message is still available in the NDS.
The R714 message will be in the file, XCH*DINNNN., where NNNN is the
Station Serial Number (SSN) from the first line of the message.
The SSN can also be found in the Operator's log notebook or on the
console listing if the R714 was actually received by the NDS.
@ED,U ENG*DATA.C-RUNIMS
Replace the last 4 digits of the XCH file name with the 4 digit SSN.
EXIT.
@START ENG*DATA.C-RUNIMS
The output file will be automatically directed to the printer.
3. If the output file, XMS*X-IMSXXXISPS. does not exist for that particular
IS, Pass, and Date, a retransmission of the R714 must be requested.
The information required in order to ask for a retransmission is:
Message Type 'R714'
Transmission (MSN) Date DDMMMYY
Station Serial Number NNNN
Call Ground Commo (GC) Ask for a retransmission
of the RECUR 714 message by supplying the above information.
The retransmission message will be processed automatically by the IMSLST
program. No intervention is required.
4 If the output file does not exist for that particular IS Pass,
and Date, and no entries can be found in the Operator's log, it is
likely that no R714 was received.
Notif (IEPD) and he will pursue the problem.
