  • Clearpath Forward® As Open Systems
    ClearPath Forward® as Open Systems By: Peter Bye White Paper The IT industry’s understanding of what it means to be an open system has evolved over the years. The original concept focused on certain operating systems and hardware: for example, there should be more than one source of hardware. Today, openness is concerned with the interfaces a system supports. This understanding suggests that openness is not a binary attribute; systems are not simply open or closed but are somewhere on a spectrum of openness. This paper discusses the characteristics of open systems and establishes a framework for analysing the openness of any system. It then considers ClearPath Forward® systems using the framework. The results show that ClearPath Forward systems are towards the open end of the openness spectrum. They support the major interfaces, especially for co-operating with other systems in distributed architectures, for example within a service architecture implementation. The paper was last revised in 2014 with the title ‘ClearPath® as an Open System’. The 2018 revision reflects product name changes and the fact that all ClearPath Forward systems now use Intel hardware, with firmware providing the system architecture rather than hardware. ClearPath Forward Libra (ClearPath MCP-based) and Dorado (ClearPath OS 2200-based) systems use Unisys supplied Intel-based hardware. The ClearPath Software Series may run in hardware of the client’s choice. 2 Table of Contents Summary 4 Introduction 5 ClearPath Forward Systems: Architectural Positioning 5 What is an Open System? 6 Perspectives on Openness – An Analytical Framework 8 Evaluating ClearPath Forward Open Attributes 9 Perspective 1: Interfaces 9 Perspective 2: Application Development 17 Perspective 3: Systems Management and Operations 18 ClearPath System Mission-Critical Attributes 19 Sources of Information 20 Appendix A: ClearPath Forward Architecture 21 Appendix B: Glossary 23 About the Author 25 3 Summary Definitions of open systems have changed over the years.

Its name is an acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language, defining its primary domain in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. The COBOL 2002 standard includes support for object-oriented programming and other modern language features.[1] History and specification The COBOL specification was created by a committee of researchers from private industry, universities, and government during the second half of 1959. The specifications were to a great extent inspired by the FLOW-MATIC language invented by Grace Hopper - commonly referred to as "the mother of the COBOL language." The IBM COMTRAN language invented by Bob Bemer was also drawn upon, but the FACT language specification from Honeywell was not distributed to committee members until late in the process and had relatively little impact.
