NetBatch and NetBatch-Plus
NetBatch and NetBatch-Plus
NetBatch schedules and controls batch jobs as follows:
•
The NetBatch scheduler automatically executes and monitors jobs, based on the
specified parameters. Operators can specify the times jobs should run, submit the
jobs, and then let the scheduler start the jobs at the right time and send the output to
the correct location.
•
NetBatch jobs can be run anywhere in an Expand network. You can centralize batch
operations by having reports sent to one location. You can also control schedulers on
different nodes of the network.
In addition, you can use NetBatch with the Event Management Service (EMS) to
automatically respond to events. For example, if a report must be generated every time a
specific event occurs, application developers can design the application so that a
NetBatch job is started each time the event occurs, thus automating the report-generation
process. Another method of automating the task is to use EMS to route specific events to
the command interpreter and have the command interpreter automatically issue
NetBatch commands.
NetBatch-Plus is a screen-driven interface for NetBatch. With NetBatch-Plus, you can
use menus and function keys to perform NetBatch functions.
NonStop Access for Networking
NonStop Access for Networking is a collection of network components that extends
fault-tolerant computing through the LAN to the desktop. By switching paths from a
primary LAN to a secondary LAN, NonStop Access for Networking guards against
LAN failure in client/server topologies.
NonStop ODBC Server
NonStop ODBC Server allows users of desktop computers to access NonStop SQL/MP.
NonStop ODBC allows client applications that use either the Microsoft Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) interface or the Microsoft/Sybase SQL Server interface to access
databases controlled by NonStop SQL/MP.
NonStop SQL/MP
NonStop SQL/MP is a relational-database-management system that supports high-
speed access and updates to distributed data. NonStop SQL/MP uses the Structured
Query Language (SQL) to create relational databases and to describe and manipulate
data. NonStop SQL/MP uses the Tandem NonStop Kernel file-security features. This
security provides user authorization for NonStop SQL/MP tables, views, indexes, and
programs. In addition, two NonStop SQL/MP features also contribute to database
protection.
