As a result of the Brunei government's decision to metricate all Imperial measurements by 1992, Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) needed to convert all major computer systems from Imperial measurement to metric measurement.
Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) provides the services to the Brunei government for the extracting and processing of crude oil from within Brunei and its surrounding territorial waters. BSP is a 49% stake-holder in the oil industry in Brunei.
Tekniskil (B) Sdn. Bhd., administered from Singapore, is connected with Skilled Engineering Australia.
Twelve systems were to be metricated by the end of June 1989 with the work involved being broken down as follows:
|
Manually analyse each system, and determine the effect of metricating each system with other systems. |
|
Manually identify each data field to be metricated in each system. |
|
Manually identify and modify relevent programs in each system. |
|
Manually test each system and compare metric results to Imperial reports. |
|
Document changes made to each system, and update all manuals for each system. |
|
Converted 66 batch COBOL/DLI programs and 2 COBOL/CICS/DLI programs |
|
Documented systems changes and corrected all user/programmer manuals for four |
