database. Titan serves as a front-end for transferring data between the
PMS database server and external entities. The PMS AlphaServers are
protected by a dedicated firewall.

A Web front-end hosted on a server located in the DHHS Rockwell site
serves as external users initial interface to PMS. The Web front-end is
connected to NIHnet by a dedicated link. A backup web server is in place
at NIH/CIT Customer Server Area 2 (CSA2). The primary web server is
being relocated to the CSA2 (estimated completion, March 31, 2007).

The PMS application will be restored on two dedicated AlphaServers at
the hot site and will be protected by a firewall at the hot site. The
DCSS contract for emergency hot site support includes the following
configuration to support PMS:

-   Two AlphaServers, each with sufficient memory capacity,

    -   sufficient internal and external disk storage,

    -   system console,

    -   CD-ROM drive,

    -   cartridge tape drive,

    -   LaserJet printer, and

    -   network connectivity.

-   A Cisco firewall configured with appropriate rule sets to restrict
    traffic to the two Alphaservers.

*Special Processing Needs:* AFPS is a distributed application on Titan
and EOS (reference section 1.4 above). The database is hosted and
maintained on EOS. Users access the data through a Web interface (forms
hosted on a Sun Server).

*Purpose:* GATES supports the distribution of the various ACF grants to
state, local, tribal, and non-profit organizations. It also supports
grants for AOA, IHS, HRSA, OS/OPHS and discretionary grants for CMS
(although CMS's are not transmitted to UFMS).

*Critical Processing Window(s):* An outage lasting longer than 48 hours
during the last two weeks in September would adversely impact the
function supported by GATES.

*Software Requirements:* EOS: Oracle (basic, plus import, export,
sql-loader); SQL\*NET; telnet or secure shell; FTP and secure FTP,
*Connect:Direct (no longer critical)*

Titan: *TSO/ISPF; Connect:Direct; VPS printing (none of these are
critical)*

*Data Storage:* EOS: All files and directories are under
/usr/users/gates/bin and /usr/users/gates/disaster

*Special Processing Needs:* GATES is a distributed application executing
on EOS. EOS hosts the database and Titan no longer serves as a front-end
for transferring data between EOS and external entities. Titan is used
only to download non-critical PMS data.

Grant transaction files are transferred from EOS by SFTP to the HHS UFMS
server using public key/private key security and this connection is
essential to the awarding of grants. If connectivity were unavailable,
the files could conceivably be transferred using e-mail, but it would be
preferable to set up connectivity between the NIH DR site for EOS and
UFMS.

UFMS (the HHS Accounting system) relays the payment transactions to the
Payment Management System. UFMS management has determined that in no
circumstances should UFMS be bypassed in favor of sending transactions
directly to PMS. In the event that a disaster lasted for weeks, ACF has
an agreement that UFMS would load a quarterly transaction file that had
already been sent and saved at UFMS for this purpose.

GATES also collects files from UFMS using the same SFTP method and from
PMS (using Connect:Direct but FTP could be substituted). These are not
time-critical; GATES can function for at least a week without them. In
the event of a disaster, ACF could arrange to have UFMS or PMS send the
files on diskette or tape or by e-mail.

Biweekly, the HHS personnel system writes a file to VVG1FWA on Titan;
the file is collected on EOS (using Connect:Direct) for input to GATES.
This is not a time-critical function. In the event of a disaster, GATES
supports a manual method for inputting any essential personnel data.

ACF manages a Web application, On-line Data Collection (OLDC), which
uses another Oracle database hosted on servers located in the Aerospace
building in Washington, DC. Information is exchanged between OLDC and
GATES using Oracle database links (SQL\*NET TCP protocol) to transmit
data between Oracle databases hosted on each system. If the Aerospace
database is restored elsewhere, the ACF database administrator will have
to modify the database link definition at the disaster site in order for
GATES to function. If the Aerospace database is unavailable and is
[not]{.underline} restored elsewhere, the ACF database administrator
will have to make a few changes to GATES objects in the NIH database to
turn off the linkages in order for GATES to function.

*Purpose:* TANF supports the data collection and processing of Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Separate State Program for
Maintenance Of Effort (SSP-MOE). TANF receives data from state or tribal
entities. TANF consists of several components - FTDRS, HPBS and TDRS.

*Critical Processing Window(s):* An outage lasting longer than 24 hours
after the daily cronjob is run Monday through Thursday, or Saturday
would adversely impact the FTDRS component.

*Software Requirements:* EOS: Oracle (basic, plus import, export,
sql-loader); SQL\*NET; PL/SQL; telnet or secure shell; FTP or secure FTP

Titan: TSO/ISPF; Connect:Direct; VPS printing

*Data Storage:* EOS: All files and directories are under
/usr/users/tanf/disaster

Titan: All data files, JCL, and CLISTs under the ADS.E2J. directory.
Data files received are backed up to tapes.

*Special Processing Needs:* The Final TANF Data Reporting System (FTDRS)
is a distributed application executing on Titan and EOS. Titan serves as
the front-end for receiving data from state and tribal entities, either
via Connect:Direct or secure FTP. The states electronically transmit the
files directly to Titan and the tribes submit their files as email
attachments to ACF where the data is examined for quality control
purposes and the data is then submitted from ACF to Titan. States and
tribes can submit selected information to TANF via the Internet.

EOS serves as the back-end to perform most of the FTDRS processing. A
daily cronjob initiates shell scripts and C programs that download TANF
and SSP-MOE data from Titan to EOS, process the data, indicate errors
that may exist, and populate the Oracle database. The cronjob runs at 5
PM, Monday through Thursday and 6 AM on Saturday. The data received from
the states or tribes should be processed on the same day or the
following day. The data received from the states is backed up to
cartridge tape on the day following receipt and retained in the NIH Data
Center for 180 days. In the event of disaster, and the backup tapes are
unusable, and prior data is required, it can be requested from the
states and tribes since they maintain backups of previously submitted
data.

The High Performance Bonus System (HPBS) is also a distributed
application executing on Titan and EOS. Titan serves as the front-end
for receiving data from states, either via Connect:Direct or secure FTP.
Four times a year HPBS performs comparisons of selected TANF data with
the Office of Child Support Enforcement's (OCSE) National Directory of
New Hires (NDNH) database located at the Social Security Administration
National Computer Center. Connect:Direct is used to initiate JCL on the
OCSE system. The OCSE JCL retrieves TANF data from Titan, performs the
comparison, and transmits the results back to Titan. This process uses
the direct link between NIH and SSA. In a disaster situation, the
schedule could be altered if necessary; this is not a time sensitive
process.

EOS serves as the back-end to perform most of the HPBS data processing.
HPBS requires manual intervention rather than cronjobs to initiate
processing. The data file processed is backed up to cartridge tape and
retained in the NIH Data Center for 180 to 360 days. In the event of
disaster, and the backup tapes are unusable, and prior data is required,
it can be requested from the states and tribes since they maintain
backups of previously submitted data.

The TANF Data Reporting System (TDRS) is a TANF web based application.
TDRS is hosted on web servers located in the Aerospace building in
Washington, DC. A cronjob runs daily to synchronize the information
between the ACF's Oracle database and Web servers.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Purpose:* The Enterprise Human Resources and Payroll (EHRP) supports
processing of Departmental human resource activities and reporting,
ensuring that the requisite changes are properly reflected and processed
by the Departmental Payroll system. The EHRP functions are currently
initiated through the use of a PeopleSoft/Oracle Human Resources
application. The current end-user base is the Departmental management
personnel and Human Resource community. PSC/HRS/EAD operations personnel
are responsible for application maintenance and interface activities.

*Critical Processing Window(s):* Peak Processing activities occur on a
biweekly cycle based on the Departmental payroll cycle. The key
processing window occurs for five (5) days from Wednesday prior to the
end of the pay cycle through Sunday (pay periods end on Saturday). The
pay period end dates for 2005 are: 1/8, 1/22, 2/5, 2/19, 3/5, 3/19, 4/2,
4/16, 4/30, 5/14, 5/28, 6/11, 6/25, 7/9, 7/23, 8/6, 8/20, 9/3, 9/17,
10/1, 10/15, 10/29, 11/12, 11/25, 12/10, 12/24. An outage of 8+ hours
would severely impact user ability to complete work on time, and the
ability of operations personnel to complete payroll interface
activities. During the other periods of the cycle, an outage of 2-3 days
could be dealt with.

*Software Requirements:* Oracle (basic, plus import, export); SQL\*NET;
secure shell; secure FTP, Connect:Direct/Secure+

*Data Storage:*

-   ***racer (database)***

> /opt/app/oracle -- Oracle binaries and creation scripts/data (4GB)
>
> /u01/oradata/\* - /u15/oradata/\* - 10 GB each
>
> /u16/oradata/\* - /u19/oradata/\* - 25 GB each

-   ***coral and viper (Application and Web Server portion restored to
    single host configuration)*** (20 GB)

> Includes application (PeopleSoft) software, configuration, and data

*Special Processing Needs:* The EHRP application is hosted on multiple
dedicated HP servers. At the hot site, the multiple servers will be
restored to a single HP system. The DCSS contract for emergency hot site
support includes the following configuration to support EHRP:

-   HP9000-N400 with sufficient memory capacity,

-   sufficient internal and external disk storage,

-   DVD-ROM drive,

-   cartridge tape drive,

-   LaserJet printer,

-   remote console, and

-   network connectivity.

EHRP transmits payroll information over the Internet to the Defense
Financing and Accounting Service (DFAS) mainframe site in Mechanicsburg,
PA, which issues salary payments to DHHS employees.
Connect:Direct/Secure+ is used to effect the transfer.

*Purpose:* The New Business System (NBS) project is a replacement of all
administrative functions currently supported by NIH legacy systems on
the mainframe, including procurement and contracting, travel, property,
inventory, central accounting, accounts payable and receivable, and
service and supply fund (working capital fund) activities. NBS serves
several thousand NIH employees.

NIH selected Oracle's Enterprise Resource Planning Applications and
"bolt-on" products from Compusearch, Gelco, and Sunflower as the
foundation of a new business/administrative IT system. The first two
modules of the NBS have now been deployed, accepted, and are officially
part of the system of records at NIH. Gelco's Travel Manager and the
Oracle Travel Manager Interface were deployed in September, 2003.
Oracle's General Ledger, Federal Administrator, and components of
Accounts Payable/Receivable were officially deployed October 1, 2003.
Further financial modules and others for acquisition (Oracle Purchasing,
iProcurement, and Warehouse Manager, and Compusearch Prism) and for
Property (Sunflower) are now well along in the design stages. A module
that will address working capital fund components will follow.

*Critical Processing Window(s):* An outage lasting longer than 72 hours
during any time of the week, would have an adverse impact on the
functions supported by NBS. This timeframe is based on the current ADB
requirements. Any unavailability of the NBS during the core business
hours, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday, as well as during the
times listed in the table below, would cause a severe impact on NBS
operations.

*Special Processing Needs:* The NIH NBS application is hosted on
multiple dedicated UNIX systems (AlphServers and Sun servers). At the
hot site, the application will be consolidated onto fewer servers. The
DCSS contract for emergency hot site support includes the following
configuration to support NIH NBS:

-   One AlphaServer with sufficient memory capacity,

    -   sufficient internal and external disk storage,

    -   CD-ROM drive,

    -   cartridge tape drive,

    -   LaserJet printer,

    -   remote console, and

    -   network connectivity.

-   Three Sun servers with sufficient memory capacity,

    -   sufficient internal and external disk storage,

    -   CD-ROM drive,

    -   tape drive,

    -   remote console, and

    -   network connectivity.

-   Two Windows servers with sufficient memory capacity,

    -   sufficient internal and external disk storage,

    -   DVD-ROM drive,

    -   remote terminal connection, and

    -   network connectivity.

All file transfers between the NBS and external systems are managed
through an encrypted channel using SFTP or by tunneling Secure Shell
(SSH) through a proxy server (drandromeda). The only system presently
connecting to the production NBS via SSH tunnel is the nVision project
(indus.cit.nih.gov:137.187.65.26); the access is limited to read-only.

Payment files are transmitted from Titan to the Department of the
Treasury over a telecommunications link architected and configured
according to Treasury specifications. Connect:Direct is used to effect
the transfers. In a disaster situation, the payment file will be created
on a tape to be shipped to Treasury.

The following Titan SSH/SFTP accounts are required:

> BHX1DHI

*Purpose:* The NIGMS database contains information used in the
administration of NIGMS grants. Some of the data is copied from the
IMPACII database, and some of the data is NIGMS specific and is stored
only in the NIGMS database. The IMPACII data is copied daily to the
production database and weekly to the development database mainly using
PowerBuilder Data Pipe, or Snapshots for downloading smaller tables.

The NIGMS database is accessed by NIGMS employees through the NIGMS
Extramural Support System (NESS) and the NIGMS Administrative Support
System (NASS). Both systems are part web-based, running on NIGMS
servers, and part client/server, running from NIGMS network servers and
user machines.

*Critical Processing Window(s):* The most critical processing time
having a severe impact on users' abilities to get their jobs done is
during the month prior to, and including, the NIGMS Council meetings,
and the four weeks prior to and following the end of each fiscal year
(Sept. 30). The NIGMS Council meets three times a year: January, May,
and September. The maximum length of time the database could be
unavailable during the critical processing times before causing a severe
impact on user operations would be approximately four days.

*Software Requirements:* Oracle

*Data Storage:* The four database instances are: NIGMSP (GMP), NIGMSD
(GMD), NIGMST (GMT), and NIGMSPUB (GMPUB)

*Special Processing Needs:* None.
