NonStop TUXEDO native client
NonStop TUXEDO native client. See native System/T client.
NonStop TUXEDO server. A server process or program managed by the NonStop
TUXEDO system administrative facilities. See also Pathway server.
NonStop TUXEDO system. Tandem’s implementation of the Novell, Inc., TUXEDO
enterprise transaction processing system. Major features of the NonStop TUXEDO
implementation include the use of the Tandem core services (Tandem NonStop Kernel,
NonStop Transaction Services/MP, and NonStop Transaction Manager/MP) to provide
the Tandem fundamentals (scalability, availability, and manageability) for TUXEDO
applications. The NonStop TUXEDO system runs in the OSS operating environment
on Tandem NonStop systems. See also OSS environment.
NonStop TUXEDO transaction processing environment. An environment that provides
the API and transaction monitor functions of the Novell, Inc., TUXEDO transaction
processing system in addition to the benefits provided by the Tandem core services:
Tandem NonStop Kernel, NonStop Transaction Services/MP, and NonStop Transaction
Manager/MP. See also Pathway transaction processing environment.
OBEY command. A command in a Tandem interactive interface, such as PATHCOM or the
SCREEN COBOL Utility Program (SCUP), that allows users to execute the commands
in a command file. See also command file.
object. An entity that is subject to independent reference or control by one or more
subsystems. Examples of objects are devices, communications lines, processes, and
files. In the PATHMON environment, the types of objects referred to or controlled by
PATHCOM are PATHMON, PATHWAY, LINKMON, SERVER, TCP, TERM, PROGRAM,
and TELL. The PATHWAY object, used with the SET PATHWAY and STATUS
PATHWAY commands, refers to an entire PATHMON environment. The LINKMON
object is only referred to, not controlled, by PATHCOM: that is, users can use
PATHCOM to obtain information about LINKMON processes but cannot use it to make
any changes in the configuration or state of those processes. See also PATHMON
environment.
object attributes. See attributes.
object file. A file generated by a compiler, linker, or binder that contains machine
instructions and other information needed to construct the executable code spaces and
initial data for a process. The file can be a complete program that is ready for
immediate execution, or it can be incomplete and require linking with other object files
before execution. Compilers for languages such as COBOL produce object code. See
also pseudocode file.
object type. In the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) or in an interactive interface
such as PATHCOM, a category of objects to which a specific object belongs. Object
types for PATHCOM include PATHMON, PATHWAY, LINKMON, SERVER, TCP, TERM,
PROGRAM, and TELL. The SPI interface to the Pathway subsystem uses different
