NMVT. See Network Management Vector Transport.
NNM program. A program distributed with NonStop NET/MASTER MS that allows a
user to log on to NonStop NET/MASTER MS from a dynamic terminal.
non-roll-delete (NRD) message. A message that does not roll off the message display area
of an OCS window. NRD messages report events of critical importance. There are
two classes of NRD messages: full NRD messages and NRD messages with the OPER
attribute.
NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS). An integrated software product
specifically designed for network and system management on Tandem NonStop
computer systems.
NonStop NET/MASTER MS consolidated services (NC) process. The application process that
combines the functionality of the BK, EM, IS, and MS process classes in a mode that
requires less memory, fewer executing processes, and reduced disk space.
NonStop NET/MASTER MS control process (NCP). The master process for NonStop
NET/MASTER MS—the first process executed when NonStop NET/MASTER MS is
started. NCP starts all other processes and is responsible for detecting when other
processes and processors fail, and for attempting to restart them.
normal shutdown. A shutdown operation started by the BSYS virtual user after waiting
for users to log off. See also emergency shutdown and immediate shutdown.
noshare list. The list of elements after a NOSHARE or NOSHRVARS keyword.
NRD ID. A unique number assigned by NonStop NET/MASTER MS to the NRD
message. It is part of the DOM ID.
NRD message. See non-roll-delete (NRD) message.
NRD message area. The area in an OCS window that displays NRD messages.
NRD message area delimiter line. The line in an OCS window that separates NRD
messages from roll-delete messages.
NRD message central queue. The central queue that holds full NRD messages.
NRD message cursor deletion. The act of moving the cursor to a line containing a NRD
message and pressing the ENTER key. A full NRD message is removed from display;
a NRD message with the OPER attribute is deleted.
NRD message with the OPER attribute. A NRD message that is not held in the NRD
message central queue, and must be deleted using NRD cursor deletion. When
deleted, the message immediately disappears from the NRD message display area.
null. No value. In NCL, assigning a variable a null value does not delete the variable
name from memory.
number. In NCL, a number is a symbol that begins with a digit (0 through 9) or a
period and is in a context that permits it to be a number (rather than a string).
