EMS FastStart Manual

Introduction
EMS FastStart Manual–133701
1-5
System and Program Requirements
•
The application has events that include error lists or foreign tokens (tokens owned
by a different subsystem than the subsystem generating the event).
•
The user of the application needs to check that the correct set of tokens is included
in an event at the time the event is generated. EMS FastStart cannot perform explicit
checking of the event-generating subprogram.
•
The application needs these specialized tokens for the event messages which EMS
FastStart cannot generate:
•
Extensible structured tokens
•
Error lists
•
Structured tokens containing numeric values
•
The application cannot run within the default values of EMS FastStart for numeric
fields. (See Modifying the ACF in Section 4, Preparing the Application
Configuration File, for a list of the default values.)
System and Program Requirements
EMS FastStart runs on the GUARDIAN 90 operating system version C20 or higher on
Tandem Nonstop systems.
EMS FastStart uses the following software:
•
DDL—The DDL compiler is used to generate the language-specific definition files
and the user COPYLIB files.
•
TAL—The TAL compiler generates the EMS FastStart customized EGEN
procedure.
•
EMS—EMS (Event Management Services) is a component of DSM used for
collecting and distributing events. The EMS FastStart EGEN routine (a TAL routine
bound into the user’s application) interfaces with EMS to write events to the
collector $0.
•
EMF—EMF (Event Management Filter compiler) is used by EMS FastStart to
produce a default filter which can be used with VIEWPOINT to display specific
events coming from the application.
•
COBOL85 (optional)—The COBOL85 compiler compiles the EMS FastStart
/EGEN testing application (event generator) written in COBOL85.
•
C (optional)—C is required only if you use an application programmed in C.
Using Template Services with EMS FastStart
The template compiler allows you to create templates for formatting and displaying
events. For more information, see the DSM Template Services Manual.
