SRS™, the Storage Request System, is an ISPF based on-line program
that is used to communicate file related requests between a user area
or group of user areas and the Data Management group.
Background information regarding the file request is entered onto the
SRS™ menu driven screens by the User. This information ranges from
information about the requestor to information that SRS™ can use
to automatically calculate physical file characteristics or requirements.
This information is then transmitted to the Data Manager for review and
approval. Finally, when the transaction is completed, the User is notified
of the completion.
Because SRS™ will replace your manual DASD request process with an on-line
system, the Data Manager(s) is provided with the capability of tracking
each request and providing accurate forecasts of storage space based on
the requests maintained in the SRS™ database.
