About This Manual
•
Appendix A, “DSNM Library Services,” describes the syntax and parameters (as
applicable) for each procedure call, define, literal, global variable, and structure
template.
•
Appendix B, “DSNM Error Codes,” defines the ZDSN error codes.
•
Appendix C, “Data Definition Language (DDL)-Defined DSNM SPI Components,”
lists the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) Data Definition Language (DDL)
constant and structure definitions for user-written procedures.
•
Appendix D, “Sample I Process Program Code,” provides a sample I process
program, illustrating the program model and associated library services.
Where to Go for More Information
If you are writing an interface for an existing Tandem subsystem, you need the
documentation for the product you intend to manage with DSNM.
Although the purpose of the interface development software is to create interface
processes that make the Tandem Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) protocol used
by DSNM transparent to your subsystem, you may also want to refer to the following
manuals for more information about the Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
architecture upon which DSNM is built:
•
Introduction to Distributed Systems Management (DSM), which provides an
overview of DSM and its components. DSM products support the management of
system and network resources and operations.
•
SPI Programming Manual, which describes the operating system procedures that
programmers call to process Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) messages.
The manual also presents conventions that regulate message content and
interpretation, provides programming guidelines and examples, and describes the
common ZSPI data definitions.
•
SPI Common Extensions Manual, which describes conventions that extend the basic
SPI interface, as described in the SPI Programming Manual.
•
EMS Manual, which describes the Event Management Service (EMS). EMS is a
collection of processes, tools, and interfaces that provide event-message collection
and distribution in the DSM environment.
•
Distributed Name Service (DNS) Management Operations Manual, which describes
the interactive DNS interface DSNCOM, used to maintain a database of object
names controlled by Tandem and other systems.
•
NonStop NET/MASTER MS System Management Guide, which describes the
NonStop NET/MASTER MS configuration and security management processes, and
the specific tasks required to configure and secure NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
•
NonStop NET/MASTER MS Operator’s Guide, which describes how to use the
various components of NonStop NET/MASTER MS to perform system and network
management tasks.
