SDS-002 Subtitle: System characteristics include:
Proposea Changes: add following items
" - no single point failure in the FBIS system shall cause irretrievable
loss or contamination of data
- provide processing, file storage and hardcopy output redundancy such
that a single point system failure will not preclude generation of
hardcopy listings of files from the electronic data base to support
manual operation of FBIS "
- one-time keying of text
- upgradable by stand alone segments (modules)
igned as ipt, ,o_ pjeclude f4ture aldition-,of sgndi
Reason: The system has to have the capability to operate in the old manual
mode. To do this hardcopies must be extracted from the electronic data base.
