New and Changed Information
This edition of the Distributed Systems Network Management (DSNM) Subsystem
Interface Development Guide has been updated to include functions and features added
to DSNM for the C31 and D30 releases of the product.
The operating system for Tandem NonStop systems, formerly called the Guardian
operating system, is now called the Tandem NonStop Kernel. This change reflects
Tandem’s current and future operating system enhancements that further enable open
systems and application portability.
The major changes to each section are as follows:

Section 1, “Overview of DSNM,” has been expanded to include new components
such as the conversational interface process (CIP), and the list of supported products
has been expanded to include NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS).
Section 1 now includes information on installation, process configuration, running
more than one copy of DSNM concurrently, and mixed network requirements.
•
Section 2, “DSNM Commands,” has been expanded to include the INQUIRE and
UPDATE commands.
•
In Section 3, “I Process Development Process,” references to
_COMMAND^CONTEXT^ADDRESS have been replaced with
_THREAD^CONTEXT^ADDRESS and minor changes have been made.
•
In Section 4, “DSNM Command Requirements,” the DSNM command requirements
have been expanded to include INQUIRE and UPDATE.
•
The configuration and process parameter descriptions in Section 5, “DSNM Process
Startup Functions,” have been updated, expanded, and reformatted.
•
In Section 6, “Configuring a New Subsystem Into DSNM,” changes to the DSNM
configuration files and parameters are reflected where necessary.
•
Section 7, “DSNMCom: The I Process Test Utility,” documents the new DSNMCom
commands and parameters.
