Information Center Management System

CA-ICMS links personal computers and minicomputers to the mainframe. ASF is a component of CA-ICMS. When CA-ICMS is installed with CA IDMS/DB, ASF is a component of both the information center and development center systems. Since both systems share the catalog, which defines the relationships between tables and users, ASF users can take advantage of full catalog functionality. Full catalog services are provided by the CA-ICMS Manager, a component of CA-ICMS. ASF users can place tables into folders and users into groups.

Because the information center and development center share the same catalog, tables defined through ASF are available to PC users through supported PC software.
