Software Center Operator Manual Data Item Description (SCOM DID)

3.1 The Software Center Operator Manual (SCOM) provides personnel in a computer center or other centralized or networked software installation information on how to install and operate a software system. 3.2 The SCOM is developed for software systems that will be installed in a computer center or other centralized or networked software installation, with users accessing the system via terminals or personal computers or submitting and receiving inputs and outputs in batch or interactive mode. 7.1 This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by specific and discrete task requirements as delineated in the contract. 7.2 This DID is used when the developer is tasked to identify and record information needed by persons who will operate software in a computer center or other centralized or networked software installation, so that the software can be used by others. 7.3 This DID is often used with the Software Input/Output Manual (SIOM) (DI-IPSC-81445). This pair of manuals is an alternative to the Software User Manual (SUM) (DI-IPSC-81443). 7.4 The Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) (DD 1423) should specify whether deliverable data are to be delivered on paper or electronic media; are to be in a given electronic form (such as ASCII, CALS, or compatible with a specified word processor or other support software); may be delivered in developer format rather than in the format specified herein; and may reside in a computer-aided software engineering (CASE) or other automated tool rather than in the form of a traditional document. 7.5 This DID supersedes DI-IPSC-80695.
