This service provides access to IDC technical personnel and data
bases to answer questions dealing with ADP equipment, services, and

responsiveness. The IDC representative, Joe Pierce, indicated
changes are planned to improve the service. We will be carefull
monitoring IDC performance in the future.
Emergency Planning. ODP provided the DDA Plans Officer with
a draft summary of the ODP Continuity of Operations Concept. This

cope with a temporary (less than 30 days), localized disruption of
essential activities and functions affecting the Headquarters

Processing
Processing completed the Early Support Program (ESP) with
IBM Corporation on their 3088 Channel-to-Channel (CTC) unit, two of
which have been installed in the Ruffing Computer Center and used
in production for the last several months. This hardware is a
critical component in our long-term Single System Image (SSI)
strategy. This hardware also required modifications to the VM/SP
Operating System to support the full range of 64 addresses now
available. Discussions at IBM Gaithersburg centered around the
support we had received from IBM during the ESP and the changes we
would like to see with the unit to make it more usable in our
computing environment.
The Trouble Desk handled a total of 910 phone calls for the
