efficiently as possible? (Page 1-8) - ANS -Schedulers
6. Which type of processing includes ensuring that all inputs are received on time according to
prearranged schedules? (Page 1-9) - ANS -Precomputer
7. Which type of processing includes ensuring output products are complete, accurate, and
delivered to the user when promised? (Page 1-9) - ANS -Postcomputer
8. Which personnel act as the liaison between theAIS facility and the user community? (Page
1-10) - ANS -Production control
9. Which personnel make production commitments for the AIS facility to meet user
requirements? (Page 1-10) - ANS -Scheduling
10. Which personnel handle all incoming work for AIS services along with all types of input
media from the user? (Page 1-12) - ANS -I/O Control
, 11. Which personnel review all completed output products from data entry and computer
operations to determine their accuracy and completeness before releasing them to I/O control
personnel for further processing and distribution? (Page 1-12) - ANS -Quality Control
12. Which personnel examine problems that occur during production to determine if errors were
caused by hardware or system/applications software? (Page 1-12) - ANS -Technical Support
13. Which scheduling phase allows everyone to see where there may be an overloading or
under loading of AIS resources? (Page 1-12) - ANS -Forecasting
14. How many moving parts does the scheduling process have? (Page 1-13) - ANS -3

average program mixes? (Page 1-24) - ANS -50%
20. What can occur when you delete a file, leaving, basically a hole in the information on the
hard disk, or when you add information to an existing file when there is no contiguous space left
next to the file? (Page 1-24) - ANS -File fragmentation
21. Which priority category for trouble reports means that you cannot work around the problem
to continue operating? (Page 1-26) - ANS -Critical
22. Which priority category for trouble reports means that you can work around the problem, but
a resolution is required immediately? (Page 1-26) - ANS -Urgent
23. Which priority category for trouble reports means that the correction is needed, but you can
work around the problem and live with it until it is fixed? (Page 1-26) - ANS -Routine
24. How many different categories do backup operations fall into? (Page 1-27) - ANS -2
25. Which type of saves need to be done before and after the implementation of a software
upgrade and during monthly and yearly production runs? (Page 1-27) - ANS -Special
