Section 904 Category 3

The S/390 mainframe computer platform can reliably handle critical applications and large volume transactions. The S/390 platform operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Mainframe operations are housed in the secure State Data Center.

The S/390 mainframe platform is the best choice for agencies with JCL-trained programmers.

Features:

• Online processing of Customer Information Control System (CICS), an IBM systems software that enables transactions entered from remote terminals to be processed concurrently by application programs
• Batch job processing – batch jobs can be submitted from Remote Job Entry (RJE) stations, online terminals, over the counter, or automatically via job scheduling software
• Software installation, testing, implementation and maintenance
• Software problem diagnosis and correction
• Performance monitoring and tuning
• Coordinated implementation of new or improved software
• Backups ensure data integrity and disaster recovery
• Batch services – batch jobs can be submitted from Remote Job Entry (RJE) stations, online terminals, over the counter, or automatically via job scheduling software

To obtain services from DIS, eligible organizations must enter into a Customer Service Agreement (CSA).

Description		Fee
S390 processing (ADABAS, Batch, CICS, and TSO)		$385 per CPU hour, adjusted per factors listed below

		Multipliers
Job Class - Descriptions	Turnaround Objective	Prime (Monday-Friday 6am to 6pm)	Non-prime
R - Regular Schedule	Due out time	1.00	.50
O - On-demand schedule	Start execution within 60 minutes	1.50	.75
J - Superhot	6 minutes	4.00	2.00
H - Hot	1 hour	2.50	1.25
A - Priority	2 hours	2.00	1.00
D - Standard	4 hours	1.50	.75
E - Off-prime	Next morning		.65
F - Large Print	N/A	1.00	1.00
C - High Resource	N/A	1.50	.75
Time Share Option	N/A	1.00	.50
Customer Information Control System (CICS)	N/A	1.00	.50

*The multiplier is used to figure the final per-CPU Hour rate. For example: if a regularly-recurring job requiring 1.5 CPU hours is run
 during non-prime hours, the final cost of the job would be $288.75. e.g., 385 CPU per hour x 1.5 CPU hours x a multiplier of .50 = $288.75
