Keystone Decision Support System (KDSS) and Command Management System (CMS) are United States Air Force financial business systems. This document’s purpose is to ensure KDSS/CMS remain synchronized with the Air Force’s (AF’s) evolving mission requirements and IT environment. AF business processes, industry technology evolution, information security requirements, evolving audit metrics, enterprise architecture requirements, and data-flows necessitate KDSS/CMS’s technical and documentation sustainment and evolution.

The KDSS and CMS applications currently reside on servers identified in the Hardware and Software List, physically located in DISA DECC Montgomery, AL. Under the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between DISA and AFMC, DISA personnel provide physical security and responsibility for the network platforms, as well as maintenance and computer security (COMPUSEC) for the system Operating System (O/S) and the infrastructure.

Both systems reside on a shared Oracle instance and use a three-tier architecture Web Server, Oracle Database Server and an Application Server. The CMS front end is predominately PLSQL. KDSS uses SAP Business Objects and IBM Programming Analytics Local (PAL), and Informatica. CMS has zero interfaces, but KDSS has 40 interfaces from 25 separate business partners.
