Overview:
IBM® Airline Control System V2® (ALCS) is a software interface between application programs and the z/OS® operating system.
ALSC runs as a job or started task under z/OS, providing real-time transaction processing facilities for airlines, banks, hotels, and other industries that generate high transaction rates and require fast response times and high system availability. Typical applications are passenger and cargo reservations for airlines and railroads, hotel booking systems, and credit card authorization.
Reliable high performance
ALCS delivers exceptional performance, high transaction capacity, and system availability, ensuring seamless airline operations with minimal downtime.
Extensive connectivity
ALCS integrates seamlessly with other platforms and relational databases, enabling streamlined access for diverse business applications.
z/OS environment advantage
Leveraging z/OS features, ALCS enhances compatibility with TPF applications and offers robust data processing capabilities.
Features:
Centralized database and program system
ALCS has a centralized database and program system that provides many advantages over a distributed system, including: immediate access to data changes and program updates; central control for security; and the ability to extract current financial, business and data-processing information for both business management and IT planning purposes.
Expanded application access
The ALCS application program interface (API) enables you to use applications written for use with z/TPF (Version 1.1), TPF (Version 4.1 or earlier releases) and all earlier versions of ALCS with few source code changes. With ALCS, you have access to the full range of applications developed for the TPF family of products.
Wide range of communication
ALCS provides Logical Unit (LU) 6.2 communications. It is fully compatible with WebSphere® MQ for z/OS®. This allows ALCS applications to exchange messages with other ALCS applications or other applications on the same or similar systems, or on other platforms that support message queuing using the IBM WebSphere MQ products.
Simplified operations
ALCS interfaces with Tivoli® NetView for automated operation of ALCS and its applications – including REXX. It includes Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) panels to improve usability and simplify maintenance.
Increased support
ALCS has high-level language support. It interfaces with the IBM Language Environment® for MVS file medium supported by the MVS Data Facility Product to be written in the C, C++, PL/I, and COBOL languages.
Removes memory constraints
The 64-bit addressing allows ALCS to use virtual and real memory above 2 GB, removing memory constraints. Its e-mail facility transmits and receives e-mail messages over TCP/IP networks using an external mail server or mail transfer agent (MTA).
