TS/MP 2.5 Management Programming Manual

1 Introduction
This manual describes the Management Programming interface to the Pathway subsystem provided
by the NonStop Transaction Services (TS/MP) product. It describes how to use programmatic
commands in a management application to configure TS/MP objects that support
transaction-processing servers, how to monitor the status and performance of these objects, and
how to handle error and event messages returned by the Pathway subsystem.
NOTE: This manual combines into one publication information about the TS/MP product that
previously appeared in the D30.02 versions of the NonStop TS/MP and Pathway Management
Programming Commands Manual and the NonStop TS/MP and Pathway Management Programming
Messages Manual.
This manual describes the objects created and controlled by the TS/MP product, which support
servers in a Pathway subsystem. Objects that support requesters in a Pathway subsystem, which
are controlled by the Pathway/iTS product, that are described in a separate manual set. For more
information about those objects, see the Pathway/iTS Management Programming Manual.
The following table presents a comparative architecture of TS/MP versions, namely TS/MP 2.0,
2.1, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5.
