OSS Monitor Features
Online Help Facility
The OSS PM includes a context-sensitive online help facility similar to that provided in
other SCF product modules. This help facility describes:
•
The syntax and semantics of the OSS Monitor SCF commands, objects, and object
states
•
Each of the error messages returned by the OSS Monitor
•
The possible causes of each error
•
The recommended action to recover from each error
You invoke the help facility from an SCF prompt by entering HELP OSS. This
command produces the display shown in Figure 12-1.
You can get more help for the OSS Monitor by entering HELP at an SCF prompt, then
entering OSS at the HELP prompt. This action displays the menu shown in Figure 12-2
on page 12-3.

The Open Systems Services (OSS) subsystem is HP’s open
computing interface implementation. It provides an open
interface to the NonStop operating system for supporting
portable applications. OSS conforms to the POSIX.1 and POSIX.2
standards, and partially conforms to the XPG4 specifications.
The OSS SCF commands and their applicable object types are
summarized in the following table:
