shell
shell. The command interpreter used to pass commands to an operating system; the part of
the operating system that is an interface to the outside world.
SQLCI. The SQL/MP command interpreter.
SQL/MP. See HP NonStop SQL/MP.
TACL. See HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL).
throw. Java keyword used to raise an exception.
throws. Java keyword used to define the exceptions that a method can raise.
TMF. See Transaction Management Facility (TMF).
TNS. Denotes fault-tolerant HP computers that:

Support the operating system

Are based on microcoded complex instruction-set computing (CISC) technology.
TNS systems run the TNS instruction set. Contrast with TNS/R and TNS/E.
TNS/E. Denotes fault-tolerant HP computers that support the operating system and that are
based on the Intel Itanium processor-based architecture. TNS/E systems run the
Itanium instruction set and can run TNS object files by interpretation or after
acceleration. TNS/E systems include all HP systems that use NSAL-x processors.
Contrast with TNS and TNS/R.
TNS/R. Denotes fault-tolerant HP computers that:

Support the operating system

Are based on 32-bit reduced instruction-set computing (RISC) technology.
TNS/R systems run the MIPS-1 RISC instruction set and can run TNS object files by
interpretation or after acceleration. TNS/R systems include all HP systems that use
NSR-x processors. Contrast with TNS
and TNS/E.
topic. A destination for a message in a Pub/Sub messaging system.
transaction. A series of operations grouped together into a single unit of work.
Transaction Management Facility (TMF). A set of HP software products that assures
database integrity by preventing incomplete updates to a database. It can continuously
save the changes that are made to a database (in real time) and back out these
changes when necessary. It can also take online “snapshot” backups of the database
and restore the database from these backups.
virtual machine. See Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
