Inter-NET/MASTER Connection (INMC). The NonStop NET/MASTER MS service that
allows multiple NonStop NET/MASTER MS and SOLVE management services
systems, and multiple NonStop NET/MASTER MS and NetView systems, to be
connected and controlled from the one location.
Inter-System Routing (ISR). The NonStop NET/MASTER MS service that enables,
disables, and controls message flow between multiple NonStop NET/MASTER MS
and SOLVE management services systems, and between multiple NonStop
NET/MASTER MS and NetView systems.
inter-system services (IS) process. The application process that supports INMC, ISR, and
ROC for the multiprotocol exchange of commands, command-response messages, and
event messages with another network management application (NonStop
NET/MASTER MS, the SOLVE management services, or NetView).
internal function. A function inside a source file.
internal procedure. A procedure inside a source file.
internal trace. A trace of one or more internal NonStop NET/MASTER MS events or
other significant trace data. NonStop NET/MASTER MS supports one internal trace at
