In earlier days, data was stored manually using pen and paper, but after computer was invented, the same task could be done using files. A file system is a method for storing and organizing files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them. A computer file is a resource that uniquely records data in a storage device in a computer. The File Processing System (FPS) is the traditional approach to keep individual data whether it is on shelf or on the drives. Prior, people used the FPS to keep records and maintain data in registers. In the early days of FPS usage heralded as major advances in data management. As applications in computing have grown in complexity however, it has quickly become less-than-ideal solution. In most ways, FPS systems resemble the conceptual framework provided by common operating systems like Windows and Linux. Files, directories, and metadata are all accessible and able to be manipulated. Database Management System (DBMS) serves as most modem application management but there are certain use cases where an FPS may be useful, most notably in Rapid Application Development and some disparate cases of data analysis. Generally, FPS architecture involves the input, process and output. During this Covid 19 pandemic, there are still existing FPS usage to support current operations in organizations. This is due to the files for storing various documents can be from many users or departments. In addition, all files are grouped based on their categories, and are arranged properly for easy access. If the user needs to insert, delete, modify, store or update data, he/she must know the entire hierarchy of the files.
(a) Create ONE (1) scenario of FPS usage in the situation of pandemic Covid19. You are required to consider the input, process and output in your FPS scenario. Example, the input is from the data access, processed using certain application, and the output is from the usage of the application.
(b) FPS was first to replace non-computer-based approach for maintaining records. It was a successful system of its time. However, it is not suitable for handling data of big finns and organizations. Elaborate ONE (1) of the FPS drawback.
