Software and Installation Requirements

Pathway NSM/web runs as a small, independent, HP NonStop

Pathway/iTS environment.

OSS Many NSM/web files are stored in the OSS directory hierarchy,

and all of its 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. However, all access from the Web pages to the

servers must use a specific IP address, not a DNS name.

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 is displayed that 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. It can

also be useful to connect to the Internet occasionally and install

the latest version of the plug-in to prevent running a plug-in that

is no longer compatible with NSM/web.

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 using the Microsoft VM.
