PEEK
Pathway/TS includes the terminal control process (TCP) and the SCREEN COBOL
compiler and run-time environment:
•
A terminal control process (TCP) interprets and executes SCREEN COBOL
programs and, with the help of the PATHMON process, coordinates communication
between those programs, their terminals, and server processes.
•
SCREEN COBOL is a high-level language developed by Tandem for creating and
running screen programs, which are the programs that display and control data entry
and data inquiry screens on fixed-function terminals.
•
The SCREEN COBOL Utility Program (SCUP) is a utility for managing libraries
of compiled screen programs.
PEEK
PEEK is a utility that reports statistical information maintained by the operating system
within the processor module. PEEK is very useful for performance analysis and tuning.
Use PEEK to:
•
Monitor processor activity for system storage pools
•
Monitor paging activity
•
Send instructions
•
Interrupt conditions
Remote Server Call (RSC)
RSC extends Pathway software to the desktop. It opens the Pathway transaction-
processing system to workstation users. RSC enables Pathway clients to reside on
workstations, allowing some of the processing to be done before any interaction with the
host is required, so RSC dramatically improves application performance.
Safeguard
Safeguard extends the access-control features of the operating system, thereby allowing
security administrators to easily tailor the level of protection to suit their needs.
SeeView
SeeView is a product that creates a multiwindowed menu-driven environment on
Tandem 6500-series terminals and workstation emulators. In a SeeView environment,
you can:
•
Display several windows on the terminal at the same time, each one displaying the
output from a different program. For example, you might have three windows on the
screen, one assigned to TACL, one to the spooler, and one to an editor.
•
Run many processes simultaneously on a single terminal.
•
Use menus and function keys to perform actions.
