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 user ID.
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.
HP NonStop™ operating system. The operating system for HP NonStop systems.
HP NonStop™ System EPIC Model A processor (NSE-A processor). The model
designation for the TNS/E processor used in the HP NonStop NS10000 server.
HP NonStop™ Technical Library (NTL). The application for accessing, searching, and
viewing technical publications and support information for the HP NonStop server. NTL
replaces Total Information Manager (TIM).
HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL). The user interface to the HP
NonStop™ operating system. The TACL product is both a command interpreter and a
command language. Users can write TACL programs that perform complex tasks or
provide a consistent user interface across independently programmed applications.
HP Transaction Application Language (TAL). A systems programming language with
many features specific to stack-oriented TNS systems.
hybrid shared run-time library (hybrid SRL). A shared run-time library (SRL) that has
been augmented by the addition of a dynamic section that exports the SRL’s symbols
in a form that can be used by position independent code (PIC) clients. A hybrid SRL
looks like a dynamic-link library (DLL) to PIC clients (except it cannot be loaded at
other addresses and cannot itself link to DLLs). The code and data in the SRL are no
different in a hybrid SRL, and its semantics for non-PIC clients are unchanged.
implicit library import library (imp-imp). See import library.
implied user library. A method of binding TNS object files that have more than 16 code
segments. Segments 16 through 31 are located in the user code (UC) space but are
executed as if they were segments 0 through 15 of the user library (UL) code space.
This method precludes the use of a user library. Binder now supports 32 segments of
UC space concurrently with 32 segments of UL code space, so the implied user library
method is not needed in new or changed TNS applications.
