HP NonStop™ Open System Services (OSS)
HP NonStop™ Open System Services (OSS). The product name for the OSS 
environment. See also Open System Services (OSS).
HP NonStop™ Kernel operating system. The former name of the operating system for HP 
NonStop systems. See HP NonStop™ operating system.
HP NonStop™ operating system user ID. A user ID within an HP NonStop system. The 
Guardian environment normally uses the structured view of this user ID, which consists 
of either the group-number, user-number pair of values or the 
group-name.user-name pair of values. For example, the structured view of the 
super ID is (255, 255). The Open System Services (OSS) environment normally uses 
the scalar view of this user ID, also known as the UID, which is the value 
(group-number * 256) + user-number. For example, the scalar view of the super ID 
is (255 * 256) + 255 = 65535.
