SQL/MP
SQL/MP. An HP relational database management system that uses ANSI-standard
Structured Query Language (SQL) to describe and manipulate data. You use SQL/MP
to define, manipulate and control databases. In the DSM/SCM environment, you use
the SQL/MP command interpreter (SQLCI) to define reports against the DSM/SCM
database.
SQLCI IN file. A file containing the set of SQLCI statements used to produce a report. The
statements contain both static and variable information.
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF). An interactive interface for configuring, controlling, and
collecting information from its subsystems.
super ID. A privileged user who can read, write, execute, and purge all files on the system.
In the Guardian environment, the super ID has the user ID 255,255.
SUT. See site update tape (SUT).
SWID. The software identification tool invoked by a system generation program that audits
file identification information about your software.
System generation program. A system generation program such as SYSGEN or
SYSGENR that generates a customized version of the operating system.
SYSnn subvolume. A subvolume on the $SYSTEM volume where the new version of the
operating system image is located. Also located on the SYSnn subvolume is
system-dependent and release-dependent software. nn is an octal number in the
range %00 through %77.
system. The user-assigned name of a NonStop system. The name is set in the system
profile. A required backslash (\) followed by up to seven characters, the first of which
must be alphabetic.
system generation. The process of creating an operating system to support a particular
system configuration and R
VU.
system image tape (SIT). A tape that contains a minimum set of software necessary to
bring up and run an HP NonStop K-series system or HP NonStop S-series system.
When you use DSM/SCM to configure and install your system, you use the SIT only for
disaster recovery; it is not needed in normal system installation functions. The SIT is
generated by a system generation program and copied to tape by the BACKUP utility.
You can create up to nine SITs during any Build/Apply process.
system load. (1) To start the system; to load the operating system image from disk or tape
into the memory of a processor
. (2) The process of loading the operating system. A
system load changes a system from an inactive to an active (or operational) state by
loading software that establishes communication between the operating system and
configured system peripherals.
system profile. See
