BASIS FOR BAND NAME REQUIREMENT: Compatibility with existing software/hardware environment: In order to maintain and develop successfully the test/development environment must exactly match the production evnrionment. The DBMS mid-tier test/development server is located at DFAS TSO Indianapolis. The production server is located at DECC Ogden. At the moment both environments do exactly match. Both environments use MicroFocus COBOL as part of the DBMS system. However, the production server is being replaced by the DECC with a new Itanium server. This requires a version of MicroFocus COBOL compatible with the new Central Processor Unit (CPU) chipset and microcode. DECC Ogden has already procured their new copy of MicroFocus COBOL for the new production server. DFAS TSO Indianapolis must now configure a new Itanium server for the DBMS test/development environment and this requires a matching version of MicroFocus COBOL compatible with the new CPU chipset and microcode. There is no known competing product that can substitute the MicroFocus COBOL.
