Administrative Computing and Telecommunications (ACT) Production Control is responsible for implementing and maintaining a complex computer-based administrative production computing environment operating within the ACT Data Center. This consists of the IBM OS390 operating system on an IBM Parallel Enterprise Server, Sun / Solaris UNIX operating system on various Sun Servers, and the various operating systems utilities used with either.

The ACT Data Center supports more than 5,000 total users. The administrative information systems ISIS, IFIS, PPS, DSE and data warehouse applications provide information to the entire UCSD campus, as well as feeder information and reports to the Office of the President.

Our function is to schedule all jobs for production systems. This includes ensuring that proper standards and migration policies have been met. We currently have approximately 444,612 jobs scheduled to run every year on the mainframe and client server platforms. We migrate software applications to our production environment and ensure that all production applications are running successfully on the multiple platforms we support.

The Production Control Team is managed by Beverly Oregon.
