Appendix E – System Evaluation Tool Instructions
Introduction
These instructions explain how to use the System Evaluation Tool to gather data so that
Tistar/PCS/OSx systems can be evaluated for candidacy for migration to PCS 7/505 OS
and to help determine the scope of the project.
Components
• Questionnaire: This questionnaire (in Appendix D above) is the primary component
of the tool. Filling out this document by answering the questions and entering data in
the tables, generates the necessary data needed to do a system evaluation. This
document is in Microsoft Word format so it can be modified to fit a particular
situation.
• Software Tool: This tool is used to obtain the questionnaire data that is difficult,
tedious, or time consuming to obtain manually. This tool comes in the form of a
compressed Linux/Unix 3.5 inch floppy disk image containing source code that is
compiled on the system to be evaluated before running. That allows the tool to usable
on a wide variety of Tistar/PCS/OSx systems with different libraries, databases, and
ions. It also allows evaluators with appropriate knowledge to modify the
tool to obtain any necessary additional data.
ponent has only been tested for use on the following version systems:
el 20: 1.3.3 with a 3.5 inch floppy drive
° PCS: 3.0.2E, 3.1.0B, 3.1.2A, 4.0.0B
° OSx: 4.1.0A, 4.1.1, 4.1.2A
