Linux Project 2011

This session outlines the Odyssey Project's transition from the mainframe to a Linux operating system. Linux, an efficient alternative to traditional systems like Windows and UNIX, aims to enhance performance while reducing costs associated with the mainframe. The changes are mostly invisible to end-users, with familiar interfaces and functionalities. Key topics include user impact, project timeline, necessary training, and communication plans to ensure a smooth transition. Discover the benefits of the Linux platform for enhancing usability and integrating with modern systems.

  1. Information Session Odyssey moves off the Mainframe Linux Project2011

  2. Linux Project Agenda • Introduction • User Impact • Odyssey Sample Screen • User Role • User Communication Plan/Training • Project Timeline

  3. Introduction • What is Linux? • Linux is an operating system that runs on a server not the mainframe. • The purpose of an operating system is to organize and control hardware and software. Examples of other operating systems are DOS, Windows, MAC, UNIX. • Changing Odyssey to run on Linux is almost completely invisible to the end user • Benefits of Linux Platform • Cost Savings from Mainframe expenses • Improve performance of Odyssey • Strategic Position to run modern ERP (new system) • Ease to enhance system and interface with other products • Bring the college inline with HETG (the consortium) • New Feature for viewing reports

  4. User Impact • Sign on • Icon on desktop (Linux Production) • Sign on will be network id and Password • Processing • All Odyssey screens and command paths remain the same • Function key change for Foot Print (Control Key F2) • Reports • View reports on Odyssey Web • Online Batch Submission: Printer Destination • Local printer – prints at local Odyssey printer • PDFPRT – goes to your email box • Fetch – goes only to web viewer • Other Tasks • Old macros for quick paths will not work • Cut and Paste (control Insert keys and shift insert keys) highlighting text wraps around to beginning of line

  5. Sample Screen:Odyssey running under Linux

  6. Sample Screen:Odyssey Web Report Viewer

  7. User Role • Identify Batch jobs – critical & updates • Review/update port test scripts • Perform Acceptance test • End of term/month processing • Online and batch testing • Print testing: special forms, different locations, online, batch, email • Automatic batch jobs (control M) • Test interfaces

  8. User Communication/ Training • User Group Meetings (Academic, Student, District) • Project Status Meeting with Deans & Support Staff (January) • Email • Executive Committee Members general information email (November) • College–wide email distribution before Linux Icon is installed, general information about the icon and Linux (January) • College–wide email distribution , general information about the icon and Linux (February) • College-wide email distribution, notify Linux system is in Production, instructions on signing on, link to Screen cast (March) • Handout with instructions and screens shots for sign on process and report viewer. • Narrated screen cast for web viewer • Help Desk assistance 7- 2505

  9. Linux Project Timeline
