Tape Statistics Gathering Process

Tape SGPs collect Tape availability information. Tape availability information is

obtained from the Media Serve process using the Subsystem Programmatic Interface

(SPI). The availability information gathered is performance utilization and operational

state. The Tape SGP reports on objective thresholds when they do not meet the user-

defined values.

The Tape SGP gathers availability information, bundles it in a single message, and

forwards it to the ASAP Collect process. The Collect process unpacks the information

and stores it in the normalized ASAP database so the ASAP TAPE command or ASAP

Client can retrieve it.

TCP/IP Statistics Gathering Process

TCP SGPs collect availability information on layers of the TCP/IP stack, on Subnets

and Routes, and on Telserv processes, services and windows. The TCP SGP supports

nine different TCP/IP entities representing different layers and functions of TCP/IP and

also supports three entities representing the Telserv subsystem.

Hundreds of statistics are gathered, analyzed, reported on and alerted on for the

various TCP/IP and Telserv entities.

TMF Statistics Gathering Process

TMF SGPs collect TMF availability information. TMF availability information is obtained

using the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) for the TMFSERVE process. The

availability information gathered is performance utilization and operational state. The

TMF SGP reports on objective thresholds when they do not meet the user-defined

values.

The TMF SGP gathers availability information, bundles it in a single message, and

forwards it to the ASAP Collect process. The Collect process unpacks the information

and stores it in the normalized ASAP database so the ASAP TMF command or ASAP

Client can retrieve it.

CSG

The Client Server Gateway works with the SeeView Server Gateway to provide a

bridge between programs running on Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows98

systems and programs running on NonStop OS systems. Through the CSG, client

applications have access to NonStop OS server programs (such as the SSG) and to

the HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL).

SSG

The SeeView Server Gateway provides a Client-Server Command Interpreter gateway.

The SeeView Server Gateway is a SeeView ServerMode script that controls a

SeeView process running in ServerMode.
