Common Definitions
Common Definitions
Common definitions are definitions that are used in several (usually three or more)
event messages for a specific subsystem or system component. NSC event messages
use definitions from the following sources:

Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) Standard Definitions on page 18-3

Event Management Service (EMS) Standard Definitions on page 18-4

NonStop Subsystem Manager (ZNSC-) Definitions on page 18-4
A general description of these definitions is provided in the following paragraphs.
Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) Standard Definitions
SPI standard definitions that have a specific meaning for NSC subsystem events are
listed in Table 18-2.
SPI standard definitions are described in detail in the SPI Programming Manual.
Note. The event-message header tokens are described in Section 2, Header and Common
Tokens.
Note. All definitions are shown in DDL format using hyphens (-) as separators. If you are
programming in TAL or TACL, substitute the circumflex symbol (^) for the hyphens. If you are
programming in Pascal or C, substitute the underscore symbol (_) for the hyphens. For a quick
explanation of DDL, see the SPI Programming Manual.
