CORBA 2.3.7 Programmer's Guide for C++

noft
The noft utility reads and displays information from native object files. For example, the utility lets you list
shared runtime library (SRL) references or unresolved references in an object file. The noft utility is very
useful for developing and debugging NonStop CORBA C++ language programs. The noft utility runs in
both the Guardian and the OSS environment.
vi
This utility is the OSS editor used to create and update OSS files.
runv
OSS does not provide a native debugger. You use the Guardian Visual Inspect debugger to debug your
NonStop CORBA application programs. See the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual
and the online help for Visual Inspect for information on how to use the tool.
Working in the NonStop CORBA Administrative
Environment
Applications that you write use services provided by the NonStop CORBA administrative environment. This section
gives a brief overview of the administrative environment. For more information on the NonStop CORBA
administrative environment, see the NonStop CORBA 2.3.7 Administration Guide.
Components of the NonStop CORBA Environment
The NonStop CORBA administrative environment has the following components:
The NonStop Distributed Component Console is a GUI-based interface used to manage the administrative
environment.
Security domains are the processes that are managed under a single user ID.
Business domains are collections of related business application processes, configuration data, and NonStop
services for CORBA. You identify business domains by using the Console.
The NSDAdminServer process provides services that are independent of any security domain, such as
system configuration information.
The NSDEnvironServer process provides services for a specific security domain.
The $NSD_ROOT/etc/env.sh file contains environment settings.
The Configuration database (nsdcfgdb) contains entities for ORB components and application profiles.
The adminDB stores the operational data used by the NSDAdminServer and NSDEnvironServer processes.
The location of the database is given by the environment variable NSDOM_ADMIN_DB.
Using the NonStop Distributed Component Console
Many NonStop CORBA administrative and configuration tasks can be performed using the NonStop Distributed
Component Console. See the NonStop CORBA 2.3.7 Administration Guide for basic information on using the
Console. Using the Console you can start and stop the NonStop CORBA environment, and you can configure
individual profiles for the following services and objects:
