After only three months of commissioning, the CMS detector controls system (DCS) was running at close to 100% efficiency. Despite millions of parameters to control and the HEP typical distributed development structure, only minor problems were encountered. The system can be operated by a single person and the required maintenance effort is low. A well factorized system structure and development are keys to success as well as a centralized, service like deployment approach. The underlying controls software PVSS has proven to work in a DCS environment. Converting the DCS to full redundancy will further reduce the need for interventions to a minimum.
