All that lounging around in in-baskets causes delays and lost orders. Typically. except now the software is linked together so that someone in finance can look into the warehouse software to see if an order has been shipped. to get into the warehouse's computer system to see whether the item has been shipped. Finance. HR. will just install an ERP finance or HR module and leave the rest of the functions for another day. for example. Forget about planning—it doesn't do much of that—and forget about resource. and all the keying into different computer systems invites errors. for example. and replaces them with a single unified software program divided into software modules that roughly approximate the old standalone systems. . Most vendors' ERP software is flexible enough that you can install some modules without buying the whole package. or ERP. Take a customer order. that order begins a mostly paper-based journey from in-basket to in-basket around the company. doesn't live up to its acronym. It attempts to integrate all departments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that can serve all those different departments' particular needs. Meanwhile. integrated software program that runs off a single database so that the various departments can more easily share information and communicate with each other. This is ERP's true ambition. But ERP combines them all together into a single. building a single software program that serves the needs of people in finance as well as it does the people in human resources and in the warehouse. Many companies. for example. manufacturing and the warehouse all still get their own software.What is ERP (Enterprises Resource Planning)? Enterprise resource planning software. a throwaway term. no one in the company truly knows what the status of the order is at any given point because there is no way for the finance department. Each of those departments typically has its own computer system optimized for the particular ways that the department does its work. ERP vanquishes the old standalone computer systems in finance. when a customer places an order. But remember the enterprise part. That integrated approach can have a tremendous payback if companies install the software correctly. manufacturing and the warehouse. That is a tall order. often being keyed and rekeyed into different departments' computer systems along the way. .Example….

CICS as a backend tool : 2) About CICS Short for Customer Information Control System. This can be annoying when you program in COBOL. CICS is also available on non-mainframe platforms including the RS/6000. It is particularly popular for business applications that run on large computers. a TP monitor from IBM that was originally developed to provide transaction processing for IBM mainframes. Developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s.Mainframes In Mainframes we use : 1) Cobol as the programming language About COBOL Acronym for Common Business Oriented Language. . COBOL is still the most widely used programming language in the world. AS/400 and OS/2 -based PCs. COBOL is the second-oldest high-level programming language (FORTRAN is the oldest). It controls the interaction between applications and users and lets programmers develop screen displays without detailed knowledge of the terminals being used. COBOL is a wordy language. Although disparaged by many programmers for being outdated. programs written in COBOL tend to be much longer than the same programs written in other languages. OS/390. DB2 supports Mainframe as well as UNIX environment 4) MVS. the operating system for older IBM mainframes. a family of relational database products offered by IBM. MVS was first introduced in 1974 and continues to be used. Mainframe Administrators: 1. Many legacy software systems use VSAM to implement database systems (called data sets). OS/390 are the operating systems for Mainframes i) About VSAM : Virtual Storage Access Method. users can obtain data simultaneously from DB2 and other databases. DB2 includes a range of application development and management tools.3) DB2 as a Database: About DB2: Short for Database 2. 2. DB2 provides an open database environment that runs on a wide variety of computing platforms. A DB2 database can grow from a small single-user application to a large multi-user system. OS/390 Administrator RACF Administrator (Resource Access Control Facility) . Using SQL. VSAM speeds up access to data in files by using an inverted index (called a B+tree) of all records added to each file. ii) About MVS Short for Multiple Virtual Storage. a file management system used on IBM mainframes. though it has been largely superseded by IBM's newer operating system. ) is a Environment and platform and in this we use : COBOL/400. a line of IBM minicomputers introduced in 1988.
