languages and corresponding character sets available on the operating system. You can

have a complete listing printed on the system printer; you can display a table showing the

currently conﬁgured languages and their character set types.

NMMGR

The Node Management Services Conﬁguration Manager is a menu-driven utility you use

to conﬁgure your HP 3000's data communications subsystems.

NMMGR

OCA

The Object Code Analyzer is an interactive migration utility used primarily to detect

migration incompatibilities in compatibility mode applications. When moving from MPE

V/E to MPE/iX, OCA is part of the migration tool set, and the output helps you make your

migration plan. Run on MPE/iX systems, OCA identiﬁes incompatibilities that could

prevent moving applications from compatibility mode (MPE XL CM) to native mode (MPE

XL NM).

OCT

The Object Code Translator translates compatibility mode (CM) object code into

functionally equivalent HP Precision Architecture (HP-PA) native instructions. OCT

appends translations to the end of a destination ﬁle. The resulting ﬁle can then be

executed on either an MPE V/E-based system or an MPE/iX-based system.

OCTOMP

PATCH

You may only use PATCH on compatibility mode (CM) programs. Use it to access, display,

and/or modify a program ﬁle's object code without recompiling the program. You can make

simple changes to program instructions or to global stack area variables. PATCH requires

the memory location of the target program symbols, the beginning locations of each

program unit, and the offsets for each line of code from these locations.

CAUTION

PATCH bypasses normal MPE/iX safeguards and will modify the contents of

privileged program ﬁles. When attempting to modify privileged data on disk,

it is possible to destroy ﬁle integrity, or the MPE operating system itself.

Hewlett-Packard is not responsible for changes you make to the operating

system or system ﬁles. For more information, talk to your Hewlett-Packard

service representative.
