Expand Management Programming Manual

PREFACE
• An example in TAL that illustrates giving commands and
retrieving responses.
• Several example event-message filters for use with the EXPAND
subsystem, and an example in TAL that illustrates retrieving
an EXPAND event message and taking appropriate corrective
action.
This manual assumes that you are familiar with Tandem system
architecture, have a reading knowledge of DDL, and have a working
knowledge of both the EXPAND subsystem and the languages in
which you are programming: TAL, COBOL85, or TACL. Before using
this manual, therefore, you should be familiar with the material
covered in the following Tandem manuals:
• Introduction to Tandem Computer Systems
• Data Definition Language (DDL) Reference Manual (only a
reading familiarity with DDL is required)
• EXPAND Reference Manual
• The manuals describing the programming languages being used
In addition, this manual assumes that you are familiar with
system and network management. Before using this manual, you
should be familiar with the material covered in the following
manuals, which contain general information about system and
network management, SPI, EMS, and the management of data-
communications subsystems such as the EXPAND subsystem.
• Introduction to Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
• Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Programming Manual
• Event Management Service (EMS) Manual (formerly called the
Event Management System (EMS) Manual )
• Communications Management Programming Manual
This manual refers frequently to the latter three manuals for
further information.
