Using the NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse
The HP NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse (NSDEE) is a Windows-hosted integrated
development environment for NonStop applications. NSDEE supports building NonStop applications
locally using Windows-hosted cross-compilers and tools, or remotely using compilers and tools on
a NonStop server. NSDEE also provides facilities for transferring source files and binaries to and
from NonStop systems as well as facilities for editing remote source files locally.
NSDEE Core with Debugging also includes a separately installed integrated debugger that you
can use to debug TNS/E processes.
The documentation for NSDEE is integrated with the software. After you install the software, you
can access the documentation from the Eclipse Workbench help menu:
1. To access the Workbench help menu, select Help→Help Contents.
2. From the list of manuals, select the NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse User Guide.
3. If you have installed NSDEE Core with Debugging, you can also select the NonStop
Development Environment for Eclipse Debugging Supplement from the list of manuals.
Using the HP Enterprise Toolkit - NonStop Edition
The HP Enterprise Toolkit - NonStop Edition (ETK) is an integrated development environment that
enables you to build NonStop applications on a PC. HP has integrated its native C and C++ PC
cross compiler and related tools into a development environment that can produce code for both
Guardian and OSS environments.
ETK is an extension package to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET that provides a full range of application
development functions . ETK has commands and options that enable you to compile and link your
applications on a PC and then run them on a NonStop system. After compiling and linking, you
can send your object file directly to the NonStop system either automatically with project deployment
or manually with the Transfer Tool. You perform all functions using a familiar graphical user
interface.
ETK provides a choice of compilers, editors, and debuggers, including the Visual Inspect debugger.
Using ETK, you can create and maintain archive files, perform source control, and create projects
that contain embedded SQL/MP or SQL/MX source code.
On G-series systems, many of these development functions can also be performed using the HP
Tandem Development Suite (TDS), but ETK provides certain advantages and is the recommended
development environment. TDS is not supported on system running H-series RVUs.
ETK is delivered on a separate compact disc and is not available on the HP site update tape (SUT).
For more information on using the ETK and native C and C++ cross compilers on a PC, refer to
the online help for the ETK. For more information on using TDS, refer to the TDS online help and
to the C/C++ Programmer’s Guide.
