– Uses SCLSIS database– Module is merged with SCLSIS module in Web ATIS

– Valve Label Index (VLI)– GENERIC INDEX

Allow external apps to link into ATIS to retrieve specific TM or ED via INTERFAC.EXE> TLMS, OMMS-NG, ICAS and ETMs use capability> Additional capabilities in Web ATIS (will be included in

version 1.4)

Difference in capabilities provided by Web ATIS

Import modules not currently in Web ATIS> Databases built in 32 bit ATIS and converted to SQL Server format

Provide Index Service web search and combined search (TM, ED, and Web)

> Web search does not necessarily search all data formats> Data is bundled by class, not by hull so searching via ATIS allows user to determine

applicability for a given hull

Some of the configuration modules not currently included in Web ATIS

> Generic Index (planned for next release)> M&CMI merged into SCLSIS module as both modules use the same database

Raster annotations and List Drawings Module not brought over from 32 bit ATIS

ATIS DATA SOURCES Data Sources

> Data is not owned by ATIS program> Same data (CDs) are used by all versions of ATIS> Data not necessarily conducive to Web searches> Bundling typically by ship classes

Raster TM CDs > Produced/ Distributed by NSDSA Port Huenueme CA> Bundling and distribution is by ship class> SEA 07 Controls Distribution of Submarine CDs> Over 820 Raster TM CDs

ETM CDs > Produced/Distributed by designated TMMA> Documents are OCR scanned and SGML tagged> Source data is maintained in SGML repositories> ETMs are bundled and distributed on ATIS compatible CDs> Over 230 ETM CDs

ATIS DATA SOURCES Drawing CDs

> Produced by planning yard for respective ship class > Not all ships of a given class receive all CDs for that class

» Ex. DDG 51 class has multiple flights with separate drawings per class

> Source of data is typically JEDMICS> Bundled/distributed by ship classes

» Output of raster scanning process/extract from JEDMICS source repository» Not all images/data loaded in JEDMICS is bundled on ATIS CDs

> Submarine drawing CDs produced by Electric Boat and AMSEC, LLC

> Over 2000 raster ED CDs Lists of applicable CDs

> ATIS CD Cross Reference List> TDMIS and GENITP> Planning Yard Information

ACCESSING ATIS DATA

Data is typically indexed into ATIS by Ship Class> Corresponding configuration databases are produced by ship class> Data indexing problems can occur in drawing databases if multiple

classes are combined in one set of databases ATIS functionality supports one set of databases on line at a

time> Standalone ATIS has a utility program that allows for switching sets

of databases at start up> Capability cannot be supported in network version> Multi-class capability planned for network ATIS in the future

ATIS INSTALLATIONS 31 ships running 16-bit

> 27 networked

258 ships running 32-bit> 180 networked (168 with raid)> 78 standalone

Remaining ships being migrated to 32 bit as hardware is replaced by SPAWAR

Replacement of jukeboxes with raid as funding and schedule permits

Foreign military sales (FMS) support

– Royal Australian Navy – Spanish navy– Saudi Arabian navy– Bahrain navy – Egyptian navy

SUMMARY

ATIS is installed on > 200+ shipboard networks > 82 standalone ship installations> over 800 shore facilities

TM and ED CDs are typically bundled and distributed by ship classes

Configuration databases are bundled by ship classes Data is designed to be accessed in client server and Web ATIS

GENERIC SDI MODULE

Generic Ships Drawing Index (SDI) module is used by many ship classes to search for engineering drawings by:

> CIN/ESWBS/SWBS> Consolidated Index Number> Expanded Ship Work Breakdown Structure> Ship Work Breakdown Structure> Drawing Number> Drawing Title> Custom Search

GENITP MODULE

Designed to be ITP module for all ATIS ships to use Databases generated from data in TDMIS database Allow Administrator to tailor ITP database to several classes, individual

class, or hull level ITP import and removal utilities to aid Administrator in

building/correcting (additions, deletions, collations, etc….) TM databases as well as auditing database for missing TMs

GENITP Search module allows searches by:> PUB ID/TITLE> APL/RIC> ALTERATION> HSC

Provides availability status of publications (RASTER, ETM, PAPER)

SCLSIS MODULE

SCLSIS Module allows for searching for TM or ED based on:> Alteration> APL/AEL(RIC) (Allowance Parts List/Allowance Equipage List(Repairable Identification

Code)> APL/AEL(RIC) Nomenclature> CAGE(FSCM) (Commercial And Government Entity (Federal Supply Code for

Manufacturers))> Document Type> Drawing Number> Drawing Title> EIC (Equipment Identification Code)> EIC Nomenclature> HSC/FGC Description (Hierarchical Structure Code/Functional Group Code)> HSC/FGC Number> Technical Manual Number> Technical Manual Title> Valve Mark/Symbol Number> Work Center

M&CMI MODULE

Motors and Controllers Manual Index is a a module that allows a user to search for ED or TM by:

> SAC - Service Application Code or description> RIC - Repairable Identification Code> AEL - Allowance Equipage List> APL - Allowance Parts List> HSC - Hierarchical Structure Code or description> FGC - Functional Group Code or description

VALVE LABEL INDEX (VLI) MODULE Valve Label Index is a module allows a user to search for ED or TM by:

> SNV by APL> RPAV by APL> SRD by System> VTI by Valve Type> VLI by Valve Label

» SNV Standard Navy Valves - Valves which have been developed by the Navy to standardize the use and manufacture of valves often used on ships. SNVs are organized by APL/AEL(RIC).

» RPAV Reactor Plant Auxiliary Valves - A table listing the auxiliary valves for the reactor plant by APL/AEL(RIC).

» SRD Selected Record Drawings - A table of ship unique drawings that have been verified to reflect the individual ship configuration for certain critical systems. SRDs are organized by system.

» VTI Valve Type Index - The VTI is an computer based index that allows the user to search for valves by various methods. It is organized by valve type and valve size. This permits the user to search for engineering drawings and technical manuals in cases where the valve label is not known.

GENERIC INDEX MODULE

Generic Index Module allows users to search for engineering drawings or technical manuals by one to five fields of the Generic Index Data that is loaded

Alternative index that data providers can use when none of the other configuration indicies meet their requirements

Data Fields are defined by the data provider Can search for partial match, exact match, or initial match of entered

search criteria Currently being used by NAVSEA 08/WPAD to allow searches for

Nuclear Valve Drawings (less complex than creating an SDI database for the drawings)

INTERFAC.EXE Interfac.Exe allows other applications to link directly into ATIS TM and

ED databases to launch/display a TM or ED Allows ETM developers to use external SGML references in SGML

documents to link to TMs not under control of the developer ATIS database controls linkage so developers do not need to keep TMs

in synch ETM developers using this function for linking Can link back into ATIS from HTML pages using ACTIVE X controls in

Web ATIS (will be part of 32 bit ATIS version 1.4). Supports the following linkages

> Windows based product to 32 bit ATIS> Windows based product to Web ATIS> HTML based product to 32 bit ATIS> HTML based product to Web ATIS
