| '''UL/SPF''' -- ''User Language System Productivity Facility'' -- is a family of products developed and owned by Sirius Software, and implemented as User Language application subsystems, designed to function together in a Model 204 Online.
| | #REDIRECT [[RKTools]] |
| | |
| Each product in the family can be installed and run independently, or each can be installed and run as a component of
| |
| the integrated UL/SPF (User Language / System Productivity Facilities) framework. All UL/SPF products share a common "look and feel" that is modeled on IBM's ISPF facilities. UL/SPF supplants the sometimes arcane command language of Model 204, providing a highly productive full screen interface to a variety of common Model 204
| |
| functions.
| |
| | |
| UL/SPF enhances the capabilities of Model 204 and bypasses many of its restrictions, enabling the performance of routine tasks that were previously impossible or prohibitively time-consuming.
| |
| UL/SPF comprises the following products:
| |
| | |
| ==UL/SPF Components==
| |
| | |
| [[SirDBA]] A system that analyzes Model 204 databases to determine their logical | |
| structure, populating an internal catalog. SirDBA is distributed as a
| |
| component of the Sir2000 Database Analysis Tools.
| |
| | |
| [[SirFile]] A comprehensive facility both for monitoring the physical storage utilization
| |
| of Model 204 database files and for warning users of the need for file
| |
| reorganizations. SirFile maintains historical information that allows it to
| |
| predict when file sizing problems will occur, allowing a DBA to take
| |
| preventative action before an application outage results.
| |
| | |
| [[SirLib]] A powerful and flexible system that provides change management and
| |
| configuration control for Model 204 User Language applications. SirLib is
| |
| fully integrated within the Model 204 programming environment, supporting
| |
| unique Model 204 constructs such as file groups, while remaining nearly
| |
| transparent to programmers.
| |
| | |
| [[SirMon]] A comprehensive facility for monitoring the performance and availability of
| |
| Model 204 online systems. SirMon combines the real time monitoring of
| |
| Model 204 performance with intelligent full screen displays that facilitate
| |
| System Manager duties.
| |
| | |
| [[SirPro]] A collection of powerful and easy to use tools for programmers, database
| |
| administrators, and application managers. SirPro provides programmers
| |
| with powerful facilities for managing large libraries of User Language
| |
| procedures, and it provides system managers with intuitive ISPF-like front
| |
| ends to many Model 204 system management commands.
| |
| | |
| [[SirScan]] A high performance utility that allows users in a Model 204 Online to
| |
| browse the contents of its journal in real time. SirScan permits ordinary
| |
| users to view journal entries generated by their own online session, and it
| |
| allows users in ADMIN SCLASSes to browse journal entries for any set of
| |
| users. The data is displayed in a full-screen browser with powerful
| |
| searching commands and filtering options.
| |
| | |
| In addition, a number of subsystems that are not linked into the UL/SPF menuing
| |
| structure may be accessed via APSY-transfer from the UL/SPF applications. One such
| |
| subsystem is [[FACT]], a utility for browsing [[SirFact]] dumps.
| |
| | |
| There are also many sample web and client-server applications developed for the Janus
| |
| product family that are distributed and installed along with the UL/SPF products. These
| |
| include JANCAT, an application that builds normalized views of Model 204 data for use
| |
| by Janus Specialty Data Store applications, and JANSSL, a system for creating and
| |
| managing SSL certificate requests.
