HP NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem
HP NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem. A subsystem that allows the use of HP NonStop
TCP/IP to access an HP NonStop S-series host from Macintosh computers, personal
computers, and UNIX workstations. Applications running on a NonStop S-series
system or in an Expand network can transparently exchange data with NonStop
TCP/IP devices.
HP NonStop™ Transaction Manager. HP software that provides transaction protection
and database consistency in demanding online transaction processing (OLTP) and
decision-support environments. It gives full protection to transactions that access
distributed SQL and Enscribe databases, as well as recovery capabilities for
transactions, online disk volumes, and entire databases. See also Transaction
Management Facility (TMF) subsystem.
HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL). The user interface to the HP
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. The TACL product is both a command interpreter
and a command language. Users can write TACL programs that perform complex
tasks or provide a consistent user interface across independently programmed
applications.
HP Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS). A diagnostic tool that is a component of the HP
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. The TFDS tool isolates software problems and
provides automatic processor-failure data collection, diagnosis, and recovery services.
Hz. See hertz (Hz).
I18N. See internationalization.
IBC. See in-band control (IBC).
ICMP. See Internet control message protocol (ICMP)
identifier. A unique name, for example, TANDEM^FILES^TO^COPY, in the CONFTEXT file
that refers to a text string (one or more file names as given in the CONFAUX file).
When Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM)
encounters an identifier, it substitutes the text string for the identifier.
ideogram. See ideograph.
ideograph. A character or symbol representing a word or idea. Some writing systems, such
as Japanese and Chinese, use thousands of ideographs. An ideograph is sometimes
called an “ideogram.”
IEC. International Electrotechnical Committee. IEC is a professional organization that
creates or adopts standards for computer hardware, environments, and physical
interconnections.
IEEE. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE is a professional organization
whose committees develop and propose computer standards that define the physical
and data link protocols of entities such as communication networks.
