1.2 System Manager Overview
CHPS has several applications to help manage the system. Using the tools in CHPS provides System Managers with information on the health of the hardware and software components.
System Manager Responsibilities
As you will discover while taking the course, CHPS System Managers have various tasks, including, but not limited to:
- Creating CHPS user accounts
- Monitoring the health of the hardware and software components of CHPS
- Setting up data input/output
- Rebuilding configurations and local datastores
- Optimizing the hardware and software for more efficient data processing
Since the responsibilities of RFCs vary, ask the management team at your local or regional office for guidance on the specific tasks you are required to perform.
Whether your office takes a team approach to managing CHPS, or you ARE the CHPS System Manager, try using a log, either paper or electronic, to track the changes made to your system.
Program Management Hint: Whether working alone or with a team, creating a log will help you recall what changes have been made to the hardware and software in your office’s CHPS.
