Managing TSP Processes

The TSP processes available to your OSI/AS subsystem, via the OSI/TS subsystem,

provide Transport Layer services, including the OSI IP and the ES-IS routing exchange

protocol for LANs and SNDCF for X.25 WANs. The TSP processes available to your

OSI/AS subsystem, via the OSI/TS subsystem, provide Transport Layer services,

including the OSI IP and the ES-IS routing exchange protocol for LANs, SNDCF for

X.25 WANs, and RFC-1006 standard for TCP/IP. These processes constitute the OSI/TS

subsystem, a Compaq product that, like the NSP processes, can be controlled separately

from the OSI/AS subsystem through its own configuration and management interface.

This manual describes the configuration and management of TSP processes only in

relation to the OSI manager and TAPS processes. The OSI/TS SCF Reference Manual

describes the SCF commands and objects for controlling Compaq OSI/TS independently

of OSI/AS.

Managing TAPS Processes

The TAPS processes in your OSI/AS subsystem provide Session Layer, Presentation

Layer, and ACSE services. These processes constitute the OSI/AS subsystem, which is

controlled through the OSI manager process and its own configuration and management

interface. This manual describes the configuration and management of TAPS processes.

Sensitive Commands

Sensitive commands are those that can change the state or configuration of objects, start

or stop tracing, or change the values of statistics counters. Sensitive commands can be

issued only by a restricted set of NonStop Kernel users, such as the owner of a

subsystem process. The sensitive SCF commands for the OSI/AS subsystem are as

follows:

ABORT Stops operation of an object abruptly.

ACTIVATE Starts operation of an object after it has been suspended.

ADD Defines an object to the subsystem.

ALLOWOPENS Enables the creation of links (access to objects) after link creation

has been disabled using the STOPOPENS command.

ALTER Alters values of an object’s attributes.

DELETE Removes an object from the subsystem.

START Starts the operation of an object.

STATS With the RESET option, displays the accumulated statistics for

an object and then resets all counters. (The STATS command is a

sensitive command only if the RESET option is specified.)

STOP Stops the operation of an object in an orderly manner.
