______SIGNED ______TITLE OF ABOVE

1) Life Cycle: How many stages do they have in their life cycle? The final stage should be PRODuction or something like that. What is the name for each stage and what is the relationship to the predecessor/successor stage? Is an Emergency stage defined and what is its relationship to any standard stage? NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’ 2) Components: What is the full list of all the component types i.e. Cobol Source, Assembler Load, CICS Maps, Copybooks, JCL Procedures etc., to be managed in LCM. NWRDC does not know how many programs its customers manage. NWRDC customers do utilize maps, cobol, copybooks and jcl Are any of the component types sub-divided in more than 1 (e.g. Batch Cobol vs CICS Cobol) location this is important because we need to consider these as separate component types. How many of each component type exist? NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’ 3) External libraries: What are the full set of external libraries (PDSs) for each component type at each stage of the development life cycle. These will be the target libraries for activities such as export (for change) and build (compilation). NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’ 4) Systems: Have the components been divided by system or application or some other definition? NWRDC does not manage customer programs 5) Export/Import: For each source type we need to know the line columns to import. For Cobol we normally only import columns 7 – 72. We do not recommend importing columns 1 – 6 because they only contain a sequence number that has no relevance. If we do import these lines a simple renumbering exercise would have the effect of indicating to LCM that many lines have changed when in fact no actual Cobol code may have been actually changed. Question???? 6) Processors: For each stage in the development life cycle, for each component type, we need to know what to do and what the target is, i.e. the compilation rules. For example, are programs recompiled at each stage of the life cycle or just at the first stage and then the executable is migrated? What component types are linked together i.e. DB2 LOAD and DBRM? NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’ Development libraries: With LCM changes are made in libraries (PDSs) that are external to the LCM database. This type of library is outside the control of LCM. We need to know where developers will export code to. Do they work on a standard set of libraries or can they define and select their own? Will they import code back into LCM from the same library that they exported to? Will there be different libraries (at developer level) for each source type? Do we have to control this to enforce a discipline or standard? NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’ 7) Packages: Components can only be imported into Packages. A package is the unit of work in LCM and may contain 1 component or more than 1 component and are not limited by component type. The naming of packages is important so that they can be matched to other change mechanisms. That may exist. For example if they have a problem logging system, they may wish to use the number of the problem in the problem logging system as the package name in LCM so the two events can be tied together. What (if any) are the requirements for package names? NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’ 8) Approvals: What authority controls and approvals do Qantas require? This controls who is permitted to perform an action at any particular stage of the life cycle. Approvals may be implemented at any stage of the life cycle when defined to LCM. NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’

9) Endevor customization: What (if any) other customization has been implemented around Endevor? NWRDC nor NWRDC Customer use Endevor 10) Versioning: By default, LCM keeps all versions of each component at each stage of the life cycle. For each component type at each stage we need to know how many versions should be kept before a version merge is performed. NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’

11) Backouts: LCM has the capability to reverse changes i.e. perform a backout of a change that has been implemented. Is this action to be performed only by selected users? NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’

12) Concurrent Development: Is concurrent development to be permitted? NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’

13) Existing Modification History: We understand that a significant amount of change history exists in the Endevor system. It is not recommended in LCM to keep all versions of a component because every time the component is accessed LCM must go through all the versions to create the current image of the component. This does depend on how many versions have created over time. What is the highest number of versions of an existing component in the existing system and approximately what is the average number of versions? NWRDC does not utilize ‘life cycle’s’

14. How many LPAR’s are being used? NWRDC uses four LPAR’s 15. Is the software listed in the RFP run in more than 1 LPAR? NWRDC has not issued and software RFP’s 16.

CA Sysview

This CA SYSVIEW Performance Management Solution questionnaire is used by CA Services to gather information about your business requirements, organization, environment and current deployment (if applicable).

This purpose of this questionnaire is to validate CA Services has the information required to understand your business and IT requirements in order to work with (its business partners, Outsource Service Providers, and all other business relationships it identifies as parties appropriate for participation in these exercises) to design and implement a solution that addresses those defined requirements.

Information regarding CA’s solutions in these areas can be found at http://www.ca.com/us/products/product.aspx?id=1524

They should work with your business owners to validate that all business and technical requirements are identified prior to the deployment of CA SYSVIEW Performance Management implementation.

In order to evaluate conversion efforts and requirements, it is necessary to gather information concerning current products used, features used within those products, user exits implemented along with needs and desires of the effected users and IT personnel. This survey is intended to assist in identifying these.

This survey should be completed by representatives with knowledge of the client z/OS operating system operations, event processing, system performance, personnel performing administration functions, Technical support personnel, etc.

This is a general survey and may cover areas that are not relevant to any particular client. It is not expected to have all questions answered completely and is not used as a commitment document, but as information gathering.

The design is to identify not only technical conversion issues, but to also bring up client environmental issues that could impact or delay any conversion engagement. An example of this would be a client change control process that would have to be approved before an installation and should be setup before consultants would be onsite for installation.

Clients may not know particular answers at the time of survey completion, and are encouraged to note any concerns or questions with any responses or in the general comments at the bottom.

200. This questionnaire MUST be completed BEFORE an evaluation call can be conducted.
