Only authorized personnel can have access to the
NALCOMIS. These personnel are assigned a password
that will allow them to access specific functions. A
valid password is required as input to sign on to
NALCOMIS. Passwords are processed in such a way
that NALCOMIS recognizes the user signing on and the
users organization, work center, and special
maintenance qualification (SMQ). Passwords are
maintained by one person (usually the database
administrator [DBA]) at each site. The SMQs assigned
to each person will determine the ability to access a
specific NALCOMIS conversation. When a user
successful] y accesses a NALCOMIS conversation, the
users SMQ and detailed qualifications will determine
whether the user is allowed to perform the input. A user
will be allowed as many SMQs as determined necessary
by the sites DBA.
DATA ELEMENTS
The NALCOMIS is an integrated, online, real-time
application system. Because the system is integrated in
nature, data elements are defined only once. Any
updates to the data elements are tightly controlled
7-3
through secured transactions. These transactions are
available online to authorized users or can be controlled
through interfaces with outside systems. The database
in NALCOMIS consists of dynamic and static data
elements.
The static data elements are used mainly for
reference or validation purposes during the operation of
the system. Many of these elements are added to the
system during initial installation. It requires minimal
updates during the use of the system. These data
elements are updated by the use of a unique set of
programs. The programs are executed only by the
authorized individual who is responsible for
maintaining the integrity of the database. Some
examples of static data elements are the Type Equipment
Code (TEC) and the Work Unit Code (WUC). The TEC
and WUC are identifiers on maintenance activity
transactions and must be verified before information
can be added to the database. With this reference
information captured in the system, maintenance for a
specific TEC or WUC can be summarized and reported
for historical purposes.
The dynamic data elements are updated routinely
through online transaction activity or interfaces with
other systems. In NALCOMIS, data may be updated or
changed by a single input or several inputs. For
example, the status of requisitions can be updated by a
user or an interface computer system. Users with the
proper security authorization can input, update, display,
report, and delete these data elements.
SYSTEM OUTPUT
The output from NALCOMIS comes in different
formats depending on the users input. The output
formats are described in the following paragraphs.
Display Screens
The output to the terminals can be viewed on the
display screen. For inquiries, the data will be displayed
on the screen with normal intensity. If the user is
viewing an update/delete screen, the modifiable data
will output to the screen in bright intensity and will be
underscored.
Hardcopy Notices
The hardcopy notices are produced on paper
products at a local printer. The data output on these
notices include copies of data displayed on the terminal,
formatted messages, or data for preprinted forms.
