Open Notification Service (ONS)
When combined with Network Statistics Extended (NSX), OMF can provide a network-
wide view of both the performance and status of objects.
Open Notification Service (ONS)
ONS is a set of processes, files, and management information bases (MIBs) that work
together to enable Tandem subsystems to be monitored by network management
applications that comply with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
ONS:
•
Gathers EMS events generated by the following Tandem subsystems from the
system event log:
•
Object Monitoring Facility —all events
•
Transaction Monitoring Facility—all events
•
Translates event messages into the SNMP trap format
•
Forwards status and problem notification information to the Tandem SNMP Agent,
through which it becomes available to network management applications that
comply with SNMP
Pathway Open Environment Toolkit (POET)
POET is a set of programs and utilities that helps programmers create and run
client/transaction server applications. In the POET environment, the client is a program
running on a workstation, and the server is a server process or program in the Pathway
transaction-processing environment running on a Tandem NonStop system. POET
allows for the transport of data or information (using C code) between Microsoft
Windows clients and the Tandem NonStop host. POET includes a simplified
programming interface, name mapping, and conversion mapping designed to simplify
development of Microsoft Windows clients suitable for business-critical OLTP. POET
uses the services of the RSC product.
A client that uses POET handles the end-user interface and performs some business
application logic operations on the workstation. Pathway servers on the Tandem
NonStop system perform business application logic operations and database processing
for the client. Interprocess communication (IPC) messages are used to transfer data
between the client and the server.
Pathway/TS
The Pathway/TS product provides tools for developing and interpreting screen programs
(requesters) to support OLTP applications in the Guardian operating environment.
Pathway/TS screen programs communicate with terminals and intelligent devices.
Pathway/TS requesters can access Pathway servers (programs that manage the database)
written in any language Tandem supports. To use Pathway/TS, you must also have
NonStop TS/MP.
