IBM DISOSS

<p>IBM Distributed Office Support System, or DISOSS is a centralized document distribution and filing application for <a href="/facts/IBM/QszA7nwd">IBM</a>'s <a href="/facts/Mainframe_computer/nrBR6rWa">mainframe computers</a> running the <a href="/facts/MVS/VPSmB9ML">MVS</a> and <a href="/facts/VSE_(operating_system)/b6Hnxc2p">VSE</a> operating systems.  DISOSS runs under both the <a href="/facts/CICS/BNRGFat7">CICS</a> <a href="/facts/Transaction_processing_system/FxEUdWIt">transaction processing system</a> and the IMS/DS transaction processing system, and later versions use the <a href="/facts/SNADS/hbucAj2M">SNADS</a> architecture of peer to peer communication for distributed services.
</p><p>Heterogeneous office systems connect through DISOSS to OfficeVision/MVS series. The IBM systems are OV/MVS, “OV/VM, OV/400, PS/CICS, PS/TSO, PS/PC, PROFS, and other Mail Systems Supporting SNADS and DIA. Only a single copy of DISOSS needs to be installed somewhere in the network to accomplish the connection.” A number of other vendors such as <a href="/facts/Digital_Equipment_Corporation/ztxs6keA">Digital Equipment Corporation</a>, <a href="/facts/Hewlett-Packard/abuNSYNu">Hewlett-Packard</a>, and <a href="/facts/Data_General/EEABV3Gu">Data General</a> provided links to DISOSS.
