RMS offers several options for the configuration of applications according to user requirements
Any menu set-up can be created using a menu definition file (default file name
SYSDAT.RMS.071).An info RMS, i.e. an information module purely for RMS, can be created by combining all info modules to form a separate module library.
The user’s own function modules can be entered in the RMS loader library and in the menu definition file in order to expand the functionality of RMS.
All tasks which should run automatically can be saved as statements in a procedure or an ENTER job.
By selecting the corresponding functions and creating the corresponding batch jobs, RMS systems such as the following can be generated for specific requirements:
The simple application
The files required for RMS are to be added to the system. This includes the depot which was initialized by the previous user group.
All corrections are automatically added to the depot for each correction delivery. All required loaders are automatically generated and installed. Manual intervention is only necessary for modifications in product or operation system. It is run automatically using batch procedures (generally supplied with delivery) which are called up by the installation procedures belonging to the software product. This procedure is generally used at the customer level (user groups 3 and 4). The product selection must be redefined for new products with corrections which must be merged with the BS2000 system loader. These corrections are then taken into account during each new correction delivery.
The standard application
The scope of the loaders (products and optional corrections) is defined independently. If there are any errors, preliminary corrections are imported into the depot. All further operations run automatically, as in the simple application.
The complex application
The full functionality is used. The degree of automation for the running of operations is defined according to user requirements.
