TNS/E

The hardware platform based on the Intel® Itanium® architecture and the HP NonStop

operating system, and the software specific to that platform. All code is PIC (position

independent code).

TNS/R

The hardware platform based on the MIPS" architecture and the HP NonStop operating

system, and the software specific to that platform. Code might be PIC (position

independent code) or non-PIC.

transaction

A user-defined action that a client program (usually running on a workstation) requests

from a server.

Transaction Management Facility (TMF)

A set of HP software products for NonStop systems that assures database integrity by

preventing incomplete updates to a database. It can continuously save the changes that

are made to a database (in real time) and back out these changes when necessary. It can

also take online "snapshot" backups of the database and restore the database from these

backups.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

One of the most widely available nonvendor-specific protocols, designed to support

large, heterogeneous networks of systems.

TS/MP

See HP NonStop TS/MP.

Unicode

A character-coding scheme designed to be an extension of ASCII. By using 16 bits for

each character (rather than ASCII's 7), Unicode can represent almost every character of

every language and many symbols (such as "&") in an internationally standard way,

eliminating the complexity of incompatible extended character sets and code pages.

Unicode's first 128 codes correspond to those of standard ASCII.
