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.
