In January '07, the NATURAL sub-system was completing about
40 percent fewer total transactions per month than in
January '06. The value for the month of January '07 was
91,103 transactions. The main reason for that is the Office of the Texas State Chemists has moved their workload to the FAMIS application recently.
A significant reduction in the number of transactions completed took place in
March 2002. The reason for this reduction is the relocation of the FAMIS application to a dedicated CICS sub-system.
The NATURAL applications that run under CICS-NAT include: the Automated Bookkeeping system used by TAES and TAEX; an application for the Office of the Texas State Chemists and an application for the Physical Plant.
