Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Prepare enterprise-wide operating systems	1.1 Obtain work details and scope from relevant personnel and arrange for access to information and communications technology (ICT) systems applications in compliance with security arrangements, legislation, codes, regulations and standards 1.2 Modify boot options and run enterprise-wide operating systems, according to agreed scope and organisational requirements 1.3 Shutdown the scoped networked operating system according to organisational procedures 1.4 Manage file commands and wildcards according to system requirements 1.5 Identify system commands and mount and unmount file systems 1.6 Verify the integrity of file systems and configure networking applications 1.7 Analyse, evaluate and apply enterprise-wide operating system features to given networking multi-user applications
2. Apply system functions	2.1 Utilise command line interfaces and interact with shells and commands to the networking application on distributed computing 2.2 Manage files and apply regular expressions with system functions 2.3 Identify text utilities and send text files and output streams 2.4 Evaluate and apply enterprise-wide operating system functions to a networking application on distributed computing and create menu options
3. Manage user login environment and customisation	3.1 Manage user and group accounts to the networking application on distributed computing 3.2 Change user and group profiles to allowed security access level 3.3 Scan log files and identify activity 3.4 Configure user environments for setting users and global profiles 3.5 Record required configuration settings
4. Manage system level functions	4.1 Identify the system ‘cron’ command and automate scheduling 4.2 Analyse the need for backup strategy in the required network application 4.3 Plan a backup strategy to maintain redundancy of the system 4.4 Configure the system to perform scheduled file backups to various media 4.5 Verify integrity of backup operations by restoring system using backup files 4.6 Configure system log files for administration and security needs 4.7 Manage a print server and print files to provide customer service 4.8 Document the configuration backup schedules and system logs
5. Complete evaluation and configuration documentation	5.1 Produce a report on the application of Unix features to given networking multi-user applications that use distributed computing 5.2 Document recommendations on system improvements according to organisational requirements 5.3 Produce a report on the management and configuration of user applications and system level functions

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

SKILL	DESCRIPTION
Numeracy	Applies a wide range of highly developed mathematical and problem-solving strategies and techniques to a wide range of contexts
Oral communication	Presents complex and spoken communication in a broad range of contexts
Reading	Evaluates and critiques ideas and information from a range of complex texts
Writing	Generates complex written texts demonstrating sophisticated writing skills
Planning and organising	Plans strategic priorities and outcomes when exposed to competing demands Makes high-impact decisions in a complex and diverse environment, using input from a range of sources Identifies key factors that impact on decisions and their outcomes, drawing on experience, competing priorities, and decision-making strategies where required
Problem solving	Explores and incubates new and innovative ideas through unconstrained analysis and critical thinking to develop and improve the organisations goals
Technology	Uses digital technologies to manage business operations and actively investigates new technologies for strategic and operational purposes
