Setup Configure ASAP or experiment with ASAP without a host connection.
Because ASAP displays statistical information defined in EDL DATA statements,
not information in your host database, selecting Setup lets you run the ASAP
Client without a host connection. This approach is useful for analyzing existing
EDL files and for education and demonstration.
EDL DATA statements appear in the Asap2 Factory.EDL and Asap2 Custom.EDL
files. The factory EDL file is shipped with the ASAP Client and should never be
modified. The custom EDL file contains your customized settings. DATA
statements let you experiment with the ASAP Client environment without a host
connection. When you start the ASAP Client, EDL files are associated with your
ASAP environment. EDL file contents define the entities and data that the client
displays. For more information, see Section 6, Entity Definition Language (EDL)
.
Connect Connect to your NonStop OS host system and view current availability and
performance information.
When you select Connect, ASAP accesses your host computer through an
ActiveX server called the Client Server Gateway (CSG) on your workstation. The
CSG is installed as part of the standard ASAP setup.
Cancel Stop the ASAP launch.
