NonStop TM/MP Interfaces (TMFCOM, TMFSERVE)
transactions and database consistency, making these operations transparent to users and
application programmers.
NonStop TM/MP Interfaces (TMFCOM,
TMFSERVE)
NonStop TM/MP provides the following interfaces to enable you to configure,
reconfigure, control, and monitor the TMF subsystem:
•
TMFCOM is an interactive command interface that allows commands to be entered
and responses to be received through a terminal keyboard and monitor.
•
TMFSERVE provides programmatic access to the Subsystem Programmatic
Interface (SPI), making it possible to construct system management programs that
monitor and control the NonStop TM/MP environment.
NonStop Transaction Services/MP (NonStop
TS/MP)
NonStop Transaction Services/MP (NonStop TS/MP) is a set of components that
includes PATHMON, LINKMON, and PATHCOM, which, together with NonStop
Transaction Manager/MP and the Tandem NonStop Kernel, form the foundation for
Tandem’s open transaction-processing services. These core services provide the
underlying infrastructure for your transaction-processing applications and a choice of
transaction-processing (TP) monitor environments.
NonStop TS/MP provides enhanced transaction-processing functions to client/server,
terminal-based, and mixed-computing environments by providing process-management
and link-management functions for OLTP applications on Tandem NonStop systems.
•
Process management includes the starting, stopping, and monitoring of processes.
Process management is provided by the PATHMON process.
•
Link management includes the coordination of links between client and server
processes so that these processes can communicate with one another. Link
management is provided by the LINKMON process.
For performing management and operations tasks, NonStop TS/MP provides the
PATHCOM interactive interface and a management programming interface based on the
Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI)—part of Tandem’s Distributed Systems
Management (DSM) facility.
NonStop TS/MP supports products and processes that run in either the Guardian
operating environment or the Open System Services (OSS) operating environment.
•
The NonStop TUXEDO transaction-processing environment, which runs in the OSS
operating environment, provides the application programming interface (API) and
transaction-monitor functions of the Novell, Inc. TUXEDO transaction-processing
system, in addition to the benefits of the Tandem fundamentals.
