Overview

This guide explains the steps that are necessary to install and customize the TPF Database Facility (TPFDF) product on a Transaction Processing Facility (TPF) or Airline Control System (ALCS) operating environment.

In this guide, abbreviations are often used instead of spelled-out terms. Every term is spelled out at first mention followed by the all-caps abbreviation enclosed in parentheses; for example, structured programming macro (SPM). Abbreviations are defined again at various intervals throughout the guide. In addition, the majority of abbreviations and their definitions are listed in the master glossary in TPFDF Glossary.
