CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Purpose The purpose of the NALCOMIS Contingency
Manual is to provide the optimized NALCOMIS IMA
organizations with procedures and guidelines to
be followed during contingency operations. It is
designed to be used by designated NALCOMIS users
and computer operations personnel as a guide
for processing NALCOMIS information during
periods of system downtime and system recovery.
This manual describes those activities,
procedures, controls, and system design
considerations that support aviation maintenance
and supply operations for periods of time that
NALCOMIS is not fully operational.
4
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Scope The Contingency Manual defines the various
aspects of contingency operations. It describes
various system downtime scenarios and identifies
the actions that must be taken by work center,
Production Control, and Supply personnel in
response to each of these scenarios.

CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
System Failure A system failure is defined as any
component of the computer hardware or software
that is not working properly. System failures
may be related to workstations, printers,
communication lines, power lines, disk drives,
tape drives, or servers. All problems (scheduled
and unscheduled) related to the system software
and computer programs are system failures.
6
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Problem Severity Defined as the magnitude of the
negative impact of any system failure on ongoing
maintenance and supply operations. The required
response to correct system failures depends upon
the severity of the problem. Problem severity is
classified as follows   Critical - indicates
total, uncontrolled failure of the
entire NALCOMIS system. Return to normal
operations is expected to take longer than 6
hours. High - indicates total, controlled
shutdown of the entire NALCOMIS system. Return to
normal operations is expected to take longer than
6 hours.
7
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Problem Severity (Cont) Medium - indicates
controlled shutdown of the entire NALCOMIS system
for less than 6 hours, or failure of a
major component of the system (tape drive,
communication line, main printer, etc.).  Low
- indicates failure of one user-oriented
peripheral hardware device (terminal, screen dump
printer, etc.).
8
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Contingency Operations Defined as those
activities, procedures, and controls that should
be performed during a system failure and
during system recovery. Contingency operations
include downtime and backfit procedures.
9
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Downtime Event A downtime event is any period of
time in which NALCOMIS is inoperable or
unavailable for use. There are two types
of downtime events, listed below  Scheduled
Downtime - occurs when the system is
unavailable to the user for a predetermined
period of time (i.e., batch processing).
Unscheduled Downtime - occurs when the system is
inoperable and/or unavailable for use for an
indeterminate period of time (i.e., system crash,
system failure).
10
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Downtime Procedures Defined as the activities and
procedures that shall be performed during system
downtime to support ongoing maintenance
and supply operations. There are two types of
downtime procedures listed below Long-term
downtime procedures are defined as those
activities and procedures that shall be followed
during a system failure with more than 6 hours of
downtime. Short-term downtime procedures are
defined as those activities and procedures that
shall be followed during a system failure with
less than 6 hours of downtime. Short-term
downtime procedures apply to a medium-severity
system failure.
11
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Recovery Procedures Recovery procedures are
those activities and procedures that must be
followed after the system is restored (scheduled
or unscheduled downtime) and prior to
normal operations.
12
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Backfit Procedures Backfit procedures are
specific procedures that must be followed after a
system failure. Backfit procedures must be
scheduled and performed immediately after the
system is restored and prior to normal
operations. These procedures allow the entry of
NALCOMIS data that was processed manually while
the system was down. Backfit procedures will
include the NALCOMIS contingency processes to
load MAF data and requisition data. Only
specially Authorized personnel will be allowed to
access NALCOMIS to Perform backfit procedures.
13
CONTINGENCY PROCESSING
Contingency Process The contingency process
consists of MAF and Material Requirements
Contingency. These procedures allow
the backfitting of MAF and requisition data into
the database. Only specially authorized personnel
will be permitted access to these procedures when
it is necessary to update the database after
long-term downtime procedures have been performed.
