ViewPoint console application
ViewPoint console application. An extensible interactive application for operators, provided
as part of Distributed Systems Management (DSM). ViewPoint allows a system or a
network to be controlled from a single terminal. It includes several block-mode display
screens for event messages, a block-mode display for system or network status, a
conversational Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL)
screen, and a facility
called Define Process to maintain sessions with multiple subsystems at the same time.
wait mode. In the NonStop™ Kernel operating system, the mode in which the called
procedure waits for the completion of an I/O operation before returning a condition code
to the caller. Compare nowait mode
.
warning. In Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
interfaces, a condition encountered in
performing a command or other operation that can be significant but that does not cause
the command or operation to fail. A warning is less serious than an error
.
well-known port. Any of a set of protocol ports preassigned for specific uses by transport-

to echo servers, time servers, remote logon (Telnet
) servers, and file transfer protocol
(FTP) servers.
wildcards. See object-name template

$ZMGR. The process that provides the interface between the NonStop™ IPX/SPX
subsystem and the Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
Subsystem Control Point
(SCP), which is named $ZNET.
$ZNET. The default Subsystem Control Point (SCP)
process that routes Subsystem Control
Facility (SCF) commands to the appropriate subsystem processes.
