1. Before installing NSM/web, review these software and installation notes:
Pathway NSM/web runs as a small, independent, HP NonStop Pathway/iTS
environment.
OSS Many NSM/web files are stored in the HP NonStop Open System
Services (OSS) directory hierarchy, and all NSM/web executables
run as OSS processes.
NSM/web
executables
NSMwebNSKServer performs utility commands. One instance
runs for each NSM/web client.
NSMwebServerFactory is the persistent process (under
Pathway/iTS) that spawns the required NSM/web server.
NSMwebSqlMXServer performs SQL DDL commands. One
instance runs for each NSM/web client.
NSMwebMXCSServer performs MXCS management commands.
One instance runs for each NSM/web client.
Note: NSMwebNSKServer, NSMwebSqlMXServer, and
NSMwebMXCSServer are not part of the Pathway/iTS
environment and do not terminate if you shut down the
Pathway/iTS environment.
Web server You must make the NSM/web home page available to your users.
Provide a link from one of your existing pages or, if your Web
server configuration allows it, provide potential NSM/web users
with a specific URL to use.
TCP/IP NSM/web can run under a traditional TCP/IP or parallel TCP/IP
environment.
Browsers NSM/web runs in any Web browser/platform pair for which the
Java Plug-in 1.5 has been installed. This plug-in is available on
the Oracle Web site. If you start NSM/web using Microsoft Internet
Explorer on a Windows platform and Internet Explorer cannot find
the plug-in, a prompt provides the option to install the plug-in
automatically.
For systems that are not connected to the Internet, you must
manually install the plug-in on each workstation. Therefore, HP
recommends that you connect to the Internet during installation to
find and install the most current version of the plug-in.
You do not have to make the Java plug-in your default virtual
machine (VM). If you leave the Microsoft VM as your default,
NSM/web uses the Java plug-in, and your other applets continue
to use the Microsoft VM.
User identification An NSM/web user must have a valid Guardian user name and
password for the system on which the user wants to use
NSM/web.
Firewalls NSM/web uses both HTTP and direct dynamic TCP/IP socket
connections. To use NSM/web through a firewall, you must have
the capability to tunnel through the firewall.
