Planning Procedure
Step 2: Identify Programs and Run Environments
For each job category identified in Step 1, draw a diagram showing the
interrelationships of programs in the category and the programs’ run environments. For
the latter, include:
•
Details of inputs (for example, files or tapes)
•
Details of outputs (for example, reports and operator messages)
•
File creation and file open attributes
•
Information about tape processing, log messages, completion codes, and program
duration
•
Details of TMF transactions
Figure 4-1 on page 4-3 shows the programs and run environments identified for a
sample job category (transaction log processing) from the previous figure.
